Former FBI Director James Comey: "86 47"

[Failzero]

No it’s not. The assassination culture has taken over the dem party this has been a movement since Trump was elected

Violence is their Approach today

 

[rightwinger]

Conservatives are such sissies

So Woke

 

[BackAgain]

Again you presume a threat.

Cancel that order I sent exactly ambiguous. It means either “kill” the man or “impeach” him —

and our President hasn’t done anything warranting an impeachment.

 

[Zincwarrior]

It was explicitly 86 47. No assumption to be made about that.

No it was explicitly a collection of shells...and maybe bits of rock. One could see 86 47 if one squinted. one could see 8 647 if one squinted. Once could see 864 7 if one squinted. One could see 8767 if one squinted. One could just see a bunch of shells if one squinted.

 

[Marener]

It was explicitly 86 47. No assumption to be made about that.

You are making an assumption that because it cannot be specifically determined that it intended violence. But your assumption does not change the fact that any reasonable person who knows what 86 is might assume that it could mean violence.

And it is a pretty safe assumption that Comey, a former FBI Director, was lying when he did not see that possibility when he made that post. And he was irresponsible in doing so despite whatever his intent was.

You said the meaning was explicit. I’ll remind you of your own words.

explicit meaning and intent of 86 47

The meaning is not explicit. Is it. You are now saying you are assuming what was meant.

Therefore, it doesn’t have an explicit meaning. Youre making an inference.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Cancel that order I sent exactly ambiguous. It means either “kill” the man or “impeach” him —

and our President hasn’t done anything warranting an impeachment.

Can mean a lot of things, literally none of which are illegal as they are not a threat.

Well this isn't at all threatening or frightening or unacceptable.

Remember he's one of the GOOD guys!



Gee, I wonder how this would play out if that were referring to a Democrat?

A Republican shot Trump's ear, and now another one who had served as FBI Director under Trump is accused of deadly intent in posting a picture of seashells he came across during a walk on the beach.

Notorious Trump bum kisser Noem says the seashell pic is a call for the assassination of Trump.

Beware of any conspiracy that issues orders to homicidal nutjobs via abandoned mollusk housings!


wow.

Comey saw it and posted it as 86 47. And pretty much nobody else saw it as any other way either. Straining at gnats to defend a leftist hero doesn't change that fact.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Comey saw it and posted it as 86 47.

Comey did see the shells.
He did not specifically say they were 86 47.
He did not say murder Trump.

No wonder you people believe in chemtrails and DOGE.

Only in your mind. I think pretty much any reasonable non TDS infected person would see it as I see it.

Maybe next time he should just construct a gallows and the right wingers will say it’s just a meaningless gesture with no intent.

True context matters...one ca 86 a menu item....but trump isn't a menu item, when referring to a person it means to kill, murder them

With its unparalleled coverage of English slang of all types (from 18th-century cant to contemporary gay slang), and its uncluttered editorial apparatus, Cassell's Dictionary of Slang was warmly received when its first edition appeared in 1998. 'Brilliant.' said Mark Lawson on BBC2's The Late...

It isn’t ambiguous all that much. It boils down to “kill” him or to “impeach” him. Comey is obviously stuck on stupid.

Let’s assume that he didn’t put the shells in that formation. He merely took a photo of some other beachgoer’s handiwork, perhaps. What do you think he intended to convey by posting it?

Is Comey retarded though to urge yet another asshole impeachment effort? True, he is an asshole. So maybe. But I suspect that the self-serving piece of shit was advocating for something else.

No. But he posted something that could easily be interpreted that way by all the violent crazies out there. As a former FBI Director he had to know what the implications were.

Again, only the most TDS infected would try to defend him in doing that.

 

[struth]

Maybe next time he should just construct a gallows and the right wingers will say it’s just a meaningless gesture with no intent.

yes, big difference, building a gallow isn't direct at an individual the way this was. Moreover, building gallows isn't illegal, threatening to murder the President is.

 

[Marener]

Only in your mind. I think pretty much any reasonable non TDS infected person would see it as I see it.

People are welcome to make their own inferences and I doubt you have adequate insight to the minds of people who are not Trump devotees.

However, you cannot claim the meaning was explicit. Words have meaning and you’re clearly contradicting yourself.

 

[Papageorgio]

Man you assholes are sure paranoid.

I agree with you, this is a big nothing but you have to admit if Trump would have tweeted 86 Biden, the left would have also been in an uproar and bent out of shape. This is how ridiculous US politics are.

 

[Eman623]

It was said of James Madison (who was 5'4") that "Never have so much intellect and so little stature been combined in one man."

James Comey who is 6'10" combines large stature and an empty airplane hanger of non-existent intellect.

 

[d0gbreath]

86 means kicked out and banned, not assassinated.
