What a complete POS. He must be arrested immediately. I'm sure the Dems will defend this though.

Is 86'ing promoting murder? In police jargon, it means removal.
You are correct 90% of this board won't care. But if the roles were reversed they would be going insane. Instead you'll get crickets. Bank it

This would be like the Biden admin. investigating Trump for his blood bath comments. Ridiculously stupid.
More proof the United States is not a serious nation.
Not even remotely comparable and you damn well know it. Trump was talking about the auto industry not a sitting President.
I thought the attacks against Trump made up partisan bullshit.
I also know--and indeed, cut, pasted, and linked--the common definitions for 86d, here. Any implication that Comey is calling for the assassination of the president is similar partisan bullshit.
Administration officials are “investigating”?
What are they doing? Googling various definitions for 86’d?
Brad is right. This is not serious
I’m no fan of Comey but I find impossible to believe he : a) did this thing with the shells, and b) is/was calling for something so ridiculous. He may be an ass but he’s not irredeemably stupid.
What’s next? Someone stepping on a bug and commenting, “should have been Trump.”?
I have a friend who had a urinal installed when they did some remodeling. He taped pictures of Pelosi and Schumer in back so you can’t miss them.
Should someone come for him and put him away for 20 years?
Man all those times at a restaurant that I hear "86 the fish!" and I thought they meant they were out of fish. Nope, it meant they were gonna kill that f-cking fish.
The idea that James Comey was genuinely threatening POTUS is ridiculous.
If he wanted to do that, do ya think he’d be doing it on social media for all the world to see?
So, no, he should absolutely not be arrested. It was a dumb, innocent mistake.
There are a number of reasons why I would never be MAGA. Things like this are somewhere high on the list.
No. These people are f*cking idiots. 86 means remove or get rid of or in a sales context to stop offering usually because you ran out of stock.
It doesn't mean kill. Never has.
No it isn’t. MAGA fainting couch material.
An old mob term was 86 'em to get rid of them, take them out of town 8 miles, put them 6 feet under.
Common burial plot is 8 feet by 6 feet deep.
Common burial plot is 8 feet by 6 feet deep.
That's not where it comes from. The term originated in restaurants and hotels in the early 20th century as slang for removing something from the menu. Eventually, it was extended to ejecting rowdy customers. Other aspects of American life have borrowed it since then, but it never had anything to do with murder.
I expect this from Noem. She’s a clown.
But I didn’t think Tulsi and Kash would embarrass themselves by entertaining this just to appease their boss.
MAGA culture has a ton of disagreeable traits. Gullibility and aggressive stupidity are two of them.
It's certainly possible, but it's not the standard meaning. When you 86 a person, 99.99999999% of the time, you mean "kick him out." 86'ing a president is a call for impeachment.
LOL! Putting clowns into high level positions results in high level Clown Shows.

Whatever. I'm just pointing out that it's not a death threat, which is what all the hand-wringers are claiming.
You're such a snowflake
We should move on, to something important, like . . . .chicken-fried steak.
Some are arguing that it has been used as a death threat. In fact, that’s what caused Comey to delete it. Whether or not that’s true, I don’t know.
What I’m very sure is true is that Comey didn’t have that in mind when he posted this. He meant it in the way you’re saying: impeach him.
The idea that he would deliberately and knowingly make a death threat to POTUS or anybody else on social media is so preposterous that it could easily pass as satire.
