Was it me?
the one Comey did was different than the one I said was OK.
Not according to MAGAts.

Was it me?
you're not even paying attention.
The one Comey took a photo of was harmless, and that case will blow up. Then you can give us all a huge apology.

Was it me?
don't count on that.
Im still a petty human despite my projected spiritual largesse.
we're all sinners.
I know. They did not apologize for believing and defending the huge pile of other cases that were broomed. Trump started this with 61 court cases, claiming he won the election. He was laughed out of court, and learned nothing. Now he has the AG doing the same stupid thing. This is an abuse of power and a waste ofv mega millions of dollars.don't count on that.

I did not expect you to understand the clear differences in what Biden's Justice dept did and what Trump insane clown p[osse is up to, They won cases. They were real. Trump was found guilty of 34 felonies by a jury of peers, even though he had a staff of high-priced lawyers defending him. He was clearly guilty of trying to cheat in the electoral college certification. He was guilty of trying to get the Georgia election changed to make him the winner. He stole a truckload of classified documents. lied to the FBI several times about them, and was not punished.
Trump was not treated unfairly. Wealthy people never are in America.

they were all bullshit.
You are wrong, as usual.
Neither did 8647. What instructions did you create in your Trumpian mind? It means throw him out.

What the evidence actually shows
Across authoritative sources — dictionaries, etymology research, and historical slang documentation — “86” is a hospitality‑industry verb meaning:- An item is unavailable (“86 the fries”)
- Refuse service / eject someone (“86 that customer”)
- Get rid of / cancel something in general usage
What the evidence does
There is zero documented origin, usage, or slang tradition connecting “86” to racial violence or commands like “kill those [people].”No etymology source, slang dictionary, or historical citation supports that meaning.The term’s origins are uncertain, but all credible theories cluster around:- Soda‑jerk shorthand meaning “all out” (1930s)
- Rhyming slang for “nix” (to reject)
- Restaurant/bar code for refusing service or removing someone
- Speakeasy lore (e.g., Chumley’s at 86 Bedford Street)
Why “86”
The OED and Merriam‑Webster both explicitly list “86” as a transitive verb, meaning:- To eject or debar a person
- To get rid of / discard
- To refuse service
- “86 the sideburns” (1972 The Candidate)
- “86 the salmon” (restaurant slang)
Bottom line
- True: “86” is a command verb meaning remove / cancel / refuse service.
- False: It has any historical or slang connection to violent commands or racialized harm.
