Here on a cool Spring Saturday morning, I’ll take a moment to point out how wastefully ridiculous Pammy Bondi and Kash Patel (doubtless, at Trump’s behest!) have become.
The meaning of “86” — in US History since at least the end of the First World War… was “to take out of commission“. To retire. To “send to the shop, for repairs“. This, from my own grandfather (now long dead) who served in France in the Great War. [He would sometimes refer to his often dodgy deep blue ’51 Buick… as “86-ed” whenever it was over at Bart’s Conoco, for repairs — on Harrison Avenue. The term had stuck with him, ever since he left Paris, France in 1918.]
But these time wasting govt. salary drawing losers (on our dime) want to say Jim Comey threatened 47’s life, by leaving a picture of seashells on a beach somewhere.
“86 47” is at most perhaps in poor taste — but it is absolutely protected political speech. It was not accompanied by any substantial act of lawlessness. It did not urge anyone else to act. But this is where are tax dollars are now going: mindless bad faith retribution against Tangerine’s perceived enemies from the last two decades. Damn.
Anyhoo — I made Hinderaker’s photo over, to correct for his lack of perspective: Trump intends to personally accept a ~$450 million “gift” — a skeezy bribe — from Qatar.
That’s a felony, son. Should he go through with it, he needs to be jailed — as he leaves office.
Onward… and out.
