    “86 47” became a contentious phrase after former FBI Director James Comey was indicted

    It’s not ‘contentious’, it’s just anti-Trump.

      Reminder that “8646” was NOT contentious when MAGA was selling merchandise with that on it while Biden was POTUS.

      it’s just a reference to the louis jordan song that has the line ‘86 on the cherry pie’, that was released in '47.

    Solid reporting in that final paragraph.

    National Park Service workers were seen roping off the area Thursday afternoon, and National Guard members appeared to be directing the public away from the grass. National Park Service workers were seen later roping off the area.

      What about even later? Were they seen going home for the day?

      Do the workers need to be rebooted? Or like, is the rope they’re using not long enough? Are they just walking laps with a too-short rope, endlessly attempting to enclose a volume they will never have a long enough rope to enclose? Just chasing the end as it moves away from them with each step?
      Does their struggle represent the American dream? Is there a smug geometry teacher somewhere yelling “this is why you need to know the formula for perimeters!” at their news source?

    My favorite acts of resistance are the ones that make the fascists look stupid, it’s sometimes hard because they’re very image conscious, but it’s sometimes easy because they are in fact stupid.

      86 - slang meaning “get rid of”

      47 - Trump is the 47th (and 45th) president of the US.

          There’s a folk etymology that it comes from a particularly infamous speakeasy with two entrances, one on 86th street, and unruly patrons would be forcibly ejected from that entry.

          It’s pretty old-fashioned, so no surprise! It comes from the hospitality industry, but where the term itself comes from is unknown.
