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

Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Click bait rage inducing bullshit sells, and it's how Trump became a thing.
Him and headline news are perfect for each other
It's straight weaponization of the Justice department.
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.
Too bad they didn't share that opinion on 11/5/24.
You really think James Comey voted Trump last November?
No..?
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'm making it my own personal holiday when that bloated sack of shit con man finally croaks, whatever the cause
Won't need to be a personal one, there is enough of us that we can make it an official one. Like 420, we shall celebrate his death with fireworks and drugs.
Flags at full mast that day
Huh, here I thought it was the combination to his luggage.
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.
How many $86.47 deals are we gonna start seeing now?
I'll say this. Anyone that offers a good value for it will likely have my money. And plenty of impulse buyers as well.
i would take out a loan if that's all it would take....
But 86 46 was ok?
Oh of course it is. It's only ok if they do it
Of course it is, Bezos is selling 8647 merch right now and there's not a peep about it.
This 8647 alternator may be taking it a bit far though.
Holy crap, is that a tariff price or are they WAY too proud?
That is Ford motorcraft... It should be manufactured in America, right...?
... Right..?
Then again I ordered a DENSO (Japanese corporation and main supplier for OEM Toyota parts on their vehicles) part and it was made in China, so...
Ford? Mexico.
Only a fucking idiot would think 86 calls for killing. That would be 187
It's 8647, snowflake. Not 18747.
These fucking assholes. I've been 86'd and the bartenders never tried to kill me.
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
Never even been in an actual "bar", never been in a kitchen he wasn't passing through.
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.
It’s only restricted for the democrats. The other guys post your address and nothing is said
How do you explain the continued freedom of Kathy Griffith?
She claims to be a comedian.
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.
Banishment
Streisand Effect lol.

I fucking wish
comey, the reason why you are president the 2nd time via the first term, and you throw your Fan under the bus.
Every bodies talking about 86 46, but what about 64 46? that's my number.
Glad to see I’m not the only one who made a song joke here
7-5309 is much more worried now
Clearly he needs killing what's the issue you have freedom of speech the day he's killed the world will be a little better but his mates will use it as a excuse to take what's left of your rights you need to kill all of them
