And they say Dems overreact?

Oh come on man! Do you really believe Comey stumbles across some seashells with that message then take photos of it and sends them to social media and does not know or think it can be considered threatening to the President? We are talking about Comey, The EX=FBI director. Not some innocent passerby citizen. 

Or do you really think the DEMS were so stupid to have this man directing the FBI?

I get what you are saying, but just how troubled a soul would Comey need to be for him to do this? It seems utterly bizarre if true.

If this was the plot of a Netflix movie I would turn it off because it would be much too far fetched. 

 

It absolutely looks like a Jack Reacher novel, I absolutely agree. It once again proves that life is stranger than fiction. Nobody in a million years would have expected the former FBI director to post something like this.

 

Clearly Comey has enmity with Donald Trump and he may well hate Trump. Comey was publicly fired by Trump. When Comey took an FBI jet to Washingtion aftewards Trump publicly raised the issue why Comey was allowed to use an FBI jet after he was fired.Comey was fired in a very embarassing way from a job he clearly loved.

 

In addition Comey was the head of the FBI, an organisation that deals with murder on a daily basis. 

 

To call for the murder of Trump on social media,  even in code, is utterly bizarre though. I quite agree. Maybe it was a private joke by Comey, and there is no operative and nothing substantial to it. Perhaps he just wanted to mess with Trump's head.

Comey is a scumbag

[Lacessit]

Trump posts lies and defamation daily. Takes nothing down, doubles down if he gets called out.

 

Comey posts an image which he takes down immediately after being informed of its possible meaning.

 

MAGA's go ape<deleted>. What else can be expected of people with no sense of proportion? Intelligence of an amoeba.

All you have to do is ask yourself what the Biden DOJ would have done had it been 86AOC a year ago.  They'd be looking for someone to prosecute and assigning her more security.

No, AOC worked in the restaurant industry and knows what 86 means.

So no threat implied.

You're denying context.  It means 80 miles out and 6' deep.

But but but … whatabout the  Joe Biden conspiracy…. But but but.

Maybe they can get Comey for something like taking pictures of seashells without a permit.

[Cameroni]

Either way Trump's judgement in firing Comey is vindicated. For a former FBI director to post a message on social media that means kill Trump is the height of incompetence. Whether he did it for kicks and giggles or whether he has a trained assassin waiting in the wings, this has to be one of the  most stupid things an FBI director has ever done. He's now being investigated.

 

So good call by Trump to fire him. Good judgement.

Commonly misused words or interpretations has no legal standing (locus standi) in court. This is just intimidation tactics and Trump's retribution to target his enemies. America is now a police state with a authoritarian President.

FBI Director Patel from X:

We are aware of the recent social media post by former FBI Director James Comey, directed at President Trump. We are in communication with the Secret Service and Director Curran. Primary jurisdiction is with SS on these matters and we, the FBI, will provide all necessary support.

-- at least with the agents he hasn't fired.

CHAT GPT 4o :
 

The meaning of "86" can vary depending on context, but here are the most common interpretations:

1. Restaurant/Bar Slang

• "86" means to cancel, remove, or eliminate something.

  • Example: “86 the onions on that burger.” (Don’t include onions)

  • Or “We’re 86 on fries.” (We’ve run out of fries)

2. General Usage

• It can also mean to get rid of something or someone, or to refuse service.

  • Example: “He was 86’d from the club.” (He was kicked out or banned)

3. Criminal Slang (less common)

• Sometimes used to mean to kill or dispose of someone, though this is more dramatic and mostly used in fiction or exaggerated contexts.

4. Military or Technical Codes

• In some circles, “86” has been used in coding or military as a shorthand for discarding or canceling an item or operation.

 You obviously have no idea what an authoritarian government is or what a police state is.

A bit sad former FBI director wouldn't know what 86 stood for, but then again, neither did I until 5 minutes ago. I was never FBI director, though...

He knew exactly what it meant. Who in his position would post something he knows is political without knowing the meaning behind it? Laughable.

 

What's happened here is that the coward has realized how stupid he was and is now backtracking.

Assuming they knew what it meant, 71 liked that within the first hour... And it's probably not Joe Nobody's following him.

At the very least he would have known that 47 would be a reference to Trump, as the 47th president. He can't claim ignorance on that. Even Comey is not that stupid.

 

Even if he had not known that 86ed is slang for "murder", the fact that 47 is in there would have tipped him off that there is meaning relating to Trump there.

As anyone clearly knows. "86" refers to an acceptable positioning between unmarried men and women in Amish communities. Everyone who has gone to more than 3 years of grade school should know this

Political scientists which my bet is all voted for Harris. I say once again though you have no idea what an authoritarian government is and what a police state is. If I'm wrong I'll stand corrected when you show you understand the terms.

One would think Comey would have known that. Or perhaps that's why he put up that photo.

 

So bizarre.

 

If he didn't know what 86 meant - Incompetent

 

If he knows and he really tried to get 47 killed  - incompetent

 

If he just put up a joke - incompetent.

 

No matter what, Trump's firing of Comey is looking more and more like an excellent decision. He must be incompetent.

Just think of Kim Jong Un having a military parade on his birthday  and Trump asking for the same. That’s an example of an authoritarian state. You get the drift?

If a working class Brit had posted a similar message relating to Starmer or Lammy, or possibly migrants - you'd be calling for jail terms for incitement to violence. 

 

Your hypocrisy knows no bounds. 

There you go imagining a view I haven’t expressed so you have something to feed your need for sullen grievance.

 

Hypocrisy on the basis of stuff you made up?!
