Why do you just make things up other than to defect from answering questions. It's pitiful. Just admit that you don't know what an authoritarian government and a police state is OR if you've actually looked it up it the definitions doesn't support your narrative.

The Army’s early festival plans did not include a parade. Now one is planned with the involvement of 6,600 military personnel and some in costumes.

Absolutely!. The death rate was higher among Trump voters than among Dem voters, after the vaccine was made available. Because more of them vacated the science based universe and believed the antivaxx nutters!

Eighty-six or 86 is American English slang used primarily in the hospitality industry and sometimes in the military.

In the hospitality industry, it is used to indicate that an item is no longer available, traditionally from a food or drinks establishment, or referring to a person or people who are not welcome on the premises. Its etymology is unknown, but the term seems to have been coined in the 1920s or 1930s.

Military personnel might use "86" informally to refer to scrapping equipment (e.g., "That old radio got 86'd") or ending a plan or mission (e.g., "The op was 86'd due to bad weather"). It's not an official term in military doctrine or manuals, but it's part of the informal jargon that soldiers, sailors, or airmen might pick up and use, influenced by broader civilian language.

 

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines the term as to "refuse to serve (a customer)", or to "get rid of" or "throw out" someone or something.[7] The Oxford English Dictionary says it may be used as a noun or verb.[1] As a noun, "In restaurants and bars, an expression indicating that the supply of an item is exhausted, or that a customer is not to be served; also, a customer to be refused service. Also transferred."[1] As a transitive verb derived from the noun, it means "to eject or debar (a person) from premises; to reject or abandon".[1] The OED gives examples of usage from 1933 to 1981;[1] for example, in The Candidate, a media adviser says to Robert Redford's character, "OK, now, for starters, we got to cut your hair and eighty-six the sideburns".[1]

Why didn't you quote the whole thing.

The term eighty-six was used in restaurants and bars, according to most late twentieth-century American slang dictionaries.[6] It is often used in food and drink services to indicate that an item is no longer available or that a customer should be ejected.[6] Beyond this context, it is generally used with the meaning to 'get rid of' someone or something.[6]

According to Cassell's Dictionary of Slang, "to 86" also means "to kill, to murder; to execute judicially," likely referring to the size of a standard grave being 2.5 feet wide by 8 feet long and 6 feet deep.[8][9] Other slang dictionaries confirm this definition.[10][11][12]

Ah yes, Dinsdale — our resident degree’d political scientist, waving off 500 peers who apparently skipped the day democracy got redefined to authoritarianism — with Trump as the poster boy.

 

Critical thinking should be part of a political scientist’s toolkit — not something misplaced whenever inconvenient evidence appears. Saying “they all voted for Harris” — while you voted Trump — isn’t an argument. It’s ad hominem.

 

Your post covered all the classic logic failings: ad hominem, appeal to motive, cherry-picking, false authority, straw man, false equivalence, and a bonus round of circular reasoning.

This is starting to look like a Jack Reacher novel. A former FBI director using sea shells to ask for the killing of the president. 

 

It clearly should be investigated, who was he asking to kill the president? Is there an operative out there loyal to Comey?

 

If T rump does get killed now, it would be Mario Puzo come to life.

Yes, Comey very discretely orders Trump's assassination in a manner that in no way would make him a suspect.😂

I'll give you high marks for a vivid imagination, though.👍

The meaning from the slang dictionary was already posted by other posters. There was nothing to hide .

 

Yet the article confirms from the beginning that:

So we have Merriam-Webster and Oxford English showing a different meaning than the one touted by RW posters. That was my point.

Then you have no point because its not only RW posters providing links to other meanings and those links are not on right wing sites. What is evident is that it has many different meanings and has also been used as mob slang for assassinations
