Subtle as a sledgehammer. Trump seems to infect everything with his grievance … and his sense of entitlement … poor little rich boy, railing at the injustice of the world!
"anyone who has ever worked in a restaurant will tell you it means remove, as in to remove a sold-out item from the menu, or in this case, remove Donald Trump from office."
When I was a waitress in college, to "86" something meant to throw it in the trash, because it was rotten or broken.
So? I find it hard to believe that seashells on a beach indicates a specific declaration to eliminate a president, which DoJ must prove. If, for example, he put down in writing that he wanted to destroy Trump, or an entire country …
I would love to see “8647” on beaches everywhere, on posters all over the country, on instagram, Facebook, and other public places. This would be one way of fighting back and showing how ridiculous and vindictive this administration is.
David, you mean the way Trump has threatened people with death for not going along with his toddleresque demands! Trump may have dictated some of the charge, but that is just the stupid part at the beginning. He had others who know just what to get Trump to say whether through such stupid "legal documents" or in his "speeches." They are getting good at "sounding" like Trump in their writings. I suspect a lot of what goes out over Truth BS is written by them or at least modified by them. It is getting harder, though because Trump is more and more unhinged each day and his handlers have to work harder andharder to keep him alomost sounding sane. Those sycophants are not the brightest bulbs in any string, so they have been letting some of the derangement sneak through, or maybe they have been planning for that, maybe to support Vance, another jerk. Ugh!
Yes, indeed. There’s no mystery that Truth Social brays nothing but lies … and that the cult, even aware of those lies, continue to bray. Perhaps they really do believe Trump will survive unscathed — thus the Dumbing of America is complete. Truly they are the Enemy Within.
According to Merriam-Webster: Eighty-six is slang meaning "to throw out," "to get rid of," or "to refuse service to." It comes from 1930s soda-counter slang meaning that an item was sold out. There is varying anecdotal evidence about why the term eighty-six was used, but the most common theory is that it is rhyming slang for nix.
Even on a very, very long menu, “86” would not be needed to identify an item. It could thus be safely used as an, ”end of file” code, or an “empty” order, and not confuse the kitchen.
So true! New Yorkers have suffered Trump’s crass behavior and boorishness for, what, 40 years? We knew his MO, rejected him long ago, and he’s never forgotten it.
“Crass” — that’s it in a nutshell … I’d just add “craven” too. I saw him once in Manhattan (1987?), surrounded by four dese and dose guys … just like John Gotti.
Could be, but Roy Cohn taught him how to get out of paying for any building contractors who worked for him. He made them sue and ended up paying pennies on the dollar to when the courts ruled against him. Cheap bastard.
Very true. And not to defend Cohn, who was truly despicable, but let’s not forget Fred, Sr.—he was in the business and no doubt stiffed a contractor or two. And both Fred and Donny were indicted for discriminatory renting. No one was innocent.
Sheri, we need to encourage a whole lot of people to get their passports or have them renewed ASAP so they won't have to bear the visage of an a-hole on this document, particularly superimposed over our Declaration of Independence, a document Trump knows nothing about and cares even less. I would love to see all those gold Trumpian coins melted down when people get them.
Per the WaPo article someone sent me (I have stopped my own subscription), this is only occurring in the Washington (D.C.) Passport Agency and is a limited edition.
Wikipedia has already been updated about the passports being a limited edition in celebration of the 250th anniversary of the USA, along with an image of the new inside cover with his scowling face. Disgusting.
I'm grateful that I have a valid passport, even though I believe it will expire in 2028. But since I don't plan any further travel at this point in time, I wouldn't get it renewed while trump still has jurisdiction over how they are designed.
Since I am caretaker for my father and not planning travel I had been procrastinating the renewal of my passport which expired in Dec. Because of this nonsense I just renewed today and hoping, hoping, hoping I did not do it too late.
Unless you are in the DC area where in person applications will get the disgusting version, you will get the standard version because it is limited to those whose passports are processed by the agency in DC.
A drop in the Gulf compared to what they're spending on the war with Iran, currently running at around $1bn a day (some $87bn during the first four weeks) and that doesn't include the knock-on costs to households of increased bills in the US and all around the world.
Trump has been claiming that his ballroom will be paid for entirely out of private funds. However, a new bill introduced by Republican senators would authorize $400 million — roughly the cost of the project — for construction and security infrastructure underneath. This is an initiative sponsored by the increasingly ridiculous Senator Lindsey Graham who has joined with Sens. Katie Britt (R-Ala.) and Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.). Graham told journalists:
“Underneath it will be a lot of military stuff. There will be a Secret Service annex and we pay for it by offsetting it with customs fees...Private donations can be used but I think they should be used for buying [fine] china and stuff like that.”
So, it's $400m for 'military stuff' and another $400m for 'china and stuff'.
Yes, the Prez wrote, or said those words at the beginning of that Brief. No lawyer writes crap like that.
8647 t-shirts have been selling on Internet sites for about a year. Will DOJ subpoena the sellers’ records and indict all wearers? This is getting goddamn goofy. Yes, it means remove or get rid of. Maxwell Smart, famously, was Agent 86.
Many foreign leaders are laughing at Trump, who trivializes the Presidency by attacking Jimmy Kimmel over a one-liner and has James Comey indicted because of a seashell photo. After failing against both of them. The German Chancellor rightly states that Iran has humiliated Rump’s peace team, who flew to Islamabad (18 hours?), did nothing, then returned. 47 sees 1/2 step ahead of where he stands and lashes out at the world. And misses, again and again.
What are the chances Trump wants this ballroom with top secret security built beneath it as a fortress to hide away in when it’s time for him to vacate the White House? Too much conspiracy theory there?
Think of the most outrageous act, and this would be one of them, and it's likely to happen under this loony administration! Another loony thought: He will try to rename America to the US of Trumpland--echoing his wish for Greenland.
Let’s see, there is a big hole in the ground that they are filling with reinforced concrete that is visible to every satellite flying over. There is nothing top secret about it. They might as well paint a target on the “drone proof roof” along with a sign that says “this is where he’s going to hide”, everything and I mean Everything about the guy is insane.
In ‘29, the popular TV Show will be, “The Ghost and Mrs. Muir”. But with “Marley’s Ghost” disguised as Trump, rattling chains around the WH, the next Pres. May choose new, different quarters.
I can read the words, but I literally cannot believe that the State Department is going to put Trump on passports. Thank goodness mine does not need to be renewed for years and I suspect a lot of people are going to renew early. Just unbelievable!
Mine expires in ‘34. Fortunately, the Cheeto Faced Fascist’s greed means that he will monetize the “new” passports and those who refuse to pay a bribe to the “ Grifter-in-Chief “ will receive a “clean” passport.
With apologies to the late author John Kennedy Toole and his rollicking novel "A Confederacy of Dunces," all i can think of as i read the details of the DOJ's latest machinations is "a confederacy of d**kheads."
Thank God my passport is not due for renewal for another eight years. It's bad enough that I could soon be touching U.S. currency with his vile signature written upon it.
Fortunately I do not use a lot of cash, when I do and it contains the Cheeto Faced Fascist’s signature, I go to a teller and ask them for older bills with the Treasury Secretary’s signature
"It's bad enough that I could soon be touching U.S. currency with his vile signature written upon it."
Have you seen bills where people have written or stamped messages? That is legal as long as it is not intended to defraud or renders the bill unusable (such as affecting the serial number.)
I think getting a little rubber stamp and 'redacting' Trump's signature would be amusing. While simply drawing a thin line through it could also be a political statement.
"Whoever mutilates, cuts, defaces, disfigures, or perforates, or unites or cements together, or does any other thing to any bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt issued by any national banking association, or Federal Reserve bank, or the Federal Reserve System, with intent to render such bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt unfit to be reissued, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both."
The announcement of the latest James Comey indictment came just hours following the ruling that his daughter, Maurene Comey, can sue the Trump administration for firing her. She is seeking back pay and a declaration that her dismissal was unlawful. She is not seeking reinstatement.
Ms. Comey, a former federal prosecutor who handled cases against Jeffery Epstein and Sean Combs, claimed in her suit that she was fired for political reasons.
Within her lawsuit, she claimed that there was "no plausible explanation for her abrupt July 2025 dismissal other than Trump’s enmity toward her father or her perceived political affiliation and beliefs, or both."
Maureen Comey is a partner in the litigation department of the New York law firm of Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler.

Agreed! And I would add that “86” suggests - as LiverpoolFCfan points out - tossing out like a beefy drunk in a bar, rather than actually killing.
Nancy, me too! Trump and his toddler pool can't take us all out even if they would like to!
How about blue baseball caps with "86-47" "Make America Sane Again" Alternatively, "Make America Affordable Again" and so on.
David, you mean the way Trump has threatened people with death for not going along with his toddleresque demands!

I would say this item is more than just sold out. Oversold to begin with and then proving shallow and less than useful.
If it means stop serving this because it has no value anymore, I would support that!
WE are witnessing a desperate loser in action.
And have been since 2016 … longer for Manhattanites.
So true! New Yorkers have suffered Trump’s crass behavior and boorishness for, what, 40 years? We knew his MO, rejected him long ago, and he’s never forgotten it.
“Crass” — that’s it in a nutshell … I’d just add “craven” too. I saw him once in Manhattan (1987?), surrounded by four dese and dose guys … just like John Gotti.
He governs, if you can call it that, like a mob boss. In the end, it’s everyone for him and his family. You don’t dare cross him.
Agreed. Everyone says Roy Cohn was his mentor … but John Gotti was his example.
Could be, but Roy Cohn taught him how to get out of paying for any building contractors who worked for him. He made them sue and ended up paying pennies on the dollar to when the courts ruled against him. Cheap bastard.

“We’re in this together” raises my spirits a bit at the end of every day. Thanks, Joyce.
Me too❤️
Agreed! Rays of sunshine.💙
Thank goodness we got our passports in December. I would never want that ugly, rude, callous POS anywhere near anything that belongs to me.
Agree. So glad ours were just recently renewed.
Me too, as much as I dislike seeing his face, having it on my passport would be too much 🤷♂️
Sheri, we need to encourage a whole lot of people to get their passports or have them renewed ASAP so they won't have to bear the visage of an a-hole on this document, particularly superimposed over our Declaration of Independence, a document Trump knows nothing about and cares even less. I would love to see all those gold Trumpian coins melted down when people get them.
Whew! Mine’s good until 2031!
I'm thinking I'll just put a flag sticker over his face.
And then I'll get a new passport as soon as that ugly, fascist face is no longer leering at us from all angles.
Just recently renewed mine too -- dodged a fart-bullet!
Per the WaPo article someone sent me (I have stopped my own subscription), this is only occurring in the Washington (D.C.) Passport Agency and is a limited edition.
Also, it's supposedly possible to request that his ugly face not appear on your passport.
Cathy, yeah do it to insult the DC minority community, just what one would expect of Trumplandia. 8647!
Thank goodness it's limited! I hope that's right!
Wikipedia has already been updated about the passports being a limited edition in celebration of the 250th anniversary of the USA, along with an image of the new inside cover with his scowling face. Disgusting.
I guess you could put a stickie over that gross, ugly scowl.
For now...
Oh, a limited edition yet! Another great source of grift. May sell on the crypto market.
I'm grateful that I have a valid passport, even though I believe it will expire in 2028. But since I don't plan any further travel at this point in time, I wouldn't get it renewed while trump still has jurisdiction over how they are designed.

My thoughts exactly!
How much taxpayer money is being used per year on useless lawsuits?
A drop in the Gulf compared to what they're spending on the war with Iran, currently running at around $1bn a day (some $87bn during the first four weeks) and that doesn't include the knock-on costs to households of increased bills in the US and all around the world.
Hans, too much taxpayer money used to pump out these appalling suits! It's too bad those DOJers don't have to pay for them out of their own pockets.
A legal motion filed not for a judge, but an audience of ONE -- a desperate, lonely, demented moron rage-tweeting in the middle of the night.
These days, when you read the news, you're never sure whether to laugh or just vomit. Or perhaps both.
Every child deserves a ballroom for protection.
Or at least sufficient food, clean water, good healthcare and an education…
Here’s an explanation on the impetus for the ballroom… meanwhile, take care of our children.
https://thedreydossier.substack.com/p/youre-paying-for-trumps-ballroom?r=eof0z&utm_medium=ios

One day closer to getting rid of 47.
It took Keystone Kash 10 months to investigate seashells, while Nancy Guthrie is still missing.
I can't wait to get my Canadian passport through maternal Canadian grandfather and leave this looney bin, formally known at the United States.
Andy P, will you adopt me & my husband so we can go with you?
Take me! Take me!
Sure, I have many relatives in Southern ONT, with most around the Niagara Falls area.
Unfortunately, having a Canadian PP doesn't make you eligible for Canada Health, so I'd need to pay for healthcare.
It is my understanding that he did not create the seashells 86 47 but just came across them and took a picture.
Yes, and the rest is governmental pretzel logic to soothe the toddler.
What are the chances Trump wants this ballroom with top secret security built beneath it as a fortress to hide away in when it’s time for him to vacate the White House? Too much conspiracy theory there?
"I'm not coming out of my house, and you can't make me. Please send McDonald's happy meals in the meantime".
That proposed ballroom is big enough for its own branch of McDonald's to be housed within.
Think of the most outrageous act, and this would be one of them, and it's likely to happen under this loony administration! Another loony thought: He will try to rename America to the US of Trumpland--echoing his wish for Greenland.

I didn't know that -- I had my first job as a brand new lawyer at Patterson!
I think everyone needs to repost the Comey seashell photo on every social media platforms they have a presence on.
For those of us who don't do social media but do quilting, the seashell design could be easily done on a quilt!
And displayed at the next No Kings protest!!!
I am a quilter and that is a great idea! Lots of protest quilts at Quiltcon this year -- I was not there but saw lots of great pictures.
There was an 8647 flag at our weekly protest yesterday held by a dignified older lady.
Well, we now know who DJT’s ghost writers are!!!
EDMV…Every Democrat Must Vote!
Yes EDMV and all true patriots, including independents and republicans, who love our country and dislike Fascism must vote as well
