Nobody was banned from anything for sporting or showing pictures of that tailgate stickers. Nobody was arrested or questioned by authorities. They’re still being sold. They’re called “funny truck tailgate decals.” The people clutching their pearls now are simply afraid of the MAGA mob.

    8647 doesn’t belong there because the others are all explicit or coded calls for violence, or at least celebrations of it.

    86 most commonly means to be removed from or denied entry to a place. The obvious meaning is to remove trump from office, not kill him.

    Oh but also, fuck James Comey, he’s more responsible for this coup than most of his fellow Republican cowards.

        Of course he did. He told my ex-president he’d help him win a second term, wink wink. Except that it’s illegal here, as presidents can only serve one term so Enrique Peña Nieto just smiled and sat there knowingly. But that’s the moment I knew he was more than willing to do it.

    Imo part of it is on Biden or Obama too for just shrugging these off.

    Double standards work because hypocrites don’t get called out from all sides.

      The same way parents respond when a child screams “I hate you and wish you were dead” ?

      Because we have fascism. The same people who put the Biden decal on their trucks are the same people who will have no second thought when killing you for having a Trump decal.

    Everyone in the US knows that ‘86’ means to remove and ban. I have heard this my entire life, and have personal experiences where acquaintances were 86’d from bars for getting too drunk and disruptive. Again, they were all kicked out and banned from the establishments.

    And yes, that’s what we should do to the lawless buffoon destroying our country. Don’t follow the Republican trap of defending what 86 doesn’t mean.

    Can we stop giving meanings to numbers, please? I can’t keep up. How long before my kid’s math homework tells me to microwave my cat or something?
