Shit-Canning Donald J. Trump

 

The most common modern usage of “86” is as a verb, meaning to throw out, dismiss or eject. Customers who are tossed out of an establishment for being too drunk, having a history of walking out on the check or generally acting obnoxious, for example, are said to be 86’d.

--"What Does '86' Mean?" 

Former FBI Director James Comey took a photo of some shells arranged on a beach and understood it as a political message about Donald J. Trump. He posted the picture. The MAGA crowd went nuts, including Watauga Watch's own resident troll Wolf's Head. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem, who oversees the Secret Service, described the post on Thursday as a “threat” and a call to assassinate Trump. Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, said on Fox News that Comey should be put behind bars. By Friday, the Secret Service had launched an investigation and interviewed Comey in D.C. FBI Director Kash Patel said his agency would “provide all necessary support” as part of the investigation.

The accusations are preposterous bullshit. This isn't about anything but the suppression of speech and Trump's "retribution" tour to get even with people who have crossed him or proved insufficiently subservient.

Pot, meet kettle. Last year Trump posted a video on social media showing an image of President Joe Biden tied up in the back of a truck, a much more direct and palpable threat of violence against a sitting president. Did the Biden Justice Department rush to open an investigation over that speech?
