      Every article starts with the Trump administration framing, and only afterward tells you WTF actually happened. I’m so tired of it.

      The term “eighty-six” is a verb, which the Merriam-Webster online dictionary defines as informally meaning “to refuse to serve” or “to eject or ban” a customer, and “to reject, discontinue, or get rid of” something.

      Trump: “He called to have me killed!”

      Calm down, snowflake in chief, he said you deserve to be let go. An opinion most of your country agrees with.

      It took me too long to get it.

      86, as used by restaurant staff to mean “get rid of” something.

      47 because he’s the 47th President.

      I’d hate to say that Comey ever had a good idea, so I won’t. Whoever gave him the idea for this is a genius. They like their 1488. But they’ll melt down over this. I’m definitely on board with 8647. Buy whatever means necessary, impeachment etc.

      No Donald, it was a joke, you just don’t get it. But even even if it wasn’t a joke, he didn’t mean it. But even if he did mean it, it won’t really happen.

      He’s never even heard of 86 and has nothing to do with it

      Before we argue over what eighty six means, let’s remember that It’s perfectly legal to call for the assassination of a President.

        It’s not, though. That’s speech intended to incite lawless action, which is one of the few times free speech can be constitutionally restricted.

        But yeah, 86 in this instance probably means impeachment.

          I’m of the opinion we should 86 him from the country. I would refuse service and remove him from the premises. Let him go to UAE and stay the rest of his days.
