    Kid, when a woman refuses to sleep with you, it’s not because she considers herself ugly.

    “The head of the FBI, [and] he doesn’t know what 86 somebody means?"

    He seems to have a better idea than you or any of the conservative talking heads. To 86 something means to throw it away. 86ing someone means to throw them out, or for the bartender to cut them off. I have never heard it used to suggest killing someone.

        Interestingly, apparently no one knows where the phrase comes from. This is a rather interesting article about the topic that lists a large number of possible origins. Two of them could be very loosely interpreted at killing someone, or well someone dying anyway.

        In the days before a safety fence was installed on the observation deck of the Empire State Building, people would commit suicide by jumping from it. The deck was on the 86th floor.

        and

        There are those who claim the term refers to 86 inches, the standard depth of a grave in the U.S. So to 86 something is to bury it.

        That second one isn’t likely very true. Graves have always been referred to as 6 feet deep, which is 72 inches. Also, they’re not dug that deep anymore in the USA.

        None of the others could in anyway be considered a threat. I suppose it comes down to usage though. If people in some region have been using it as a threat, then maybe it could be construed that way when used by someone from that region. But it still seems like a huge stretch to me.

          I think the latter is also where we get the term to “deep 6” something, as in “the Mac and cheese cooked in cola was a terrible mistake, let’s deep six it and move on”.

      These people are lying. They will say anything means whatever they want it to mean if it furthers their goals of amassing power and influence.

      They say tattoos are indication of gang affiliation. Even when they don’t have the real tattoos, they’ll just Photoshop it and make it say what they want anyways.

      They have no credibility and no one should take anything they say as honest. But you should absolutely take their threats and accusations deadly seriously because they are making justifications for greater atrocities.

      Comey needs to be prepared to be taken to jail as a spectacle. He needs to be prepared to fight this stupid fight in court. They will absolutely do everything they can now that they’re in charge and all serving the orange king.

      Yeah the “86 means murder” thing is wild to me. I grew up in the 90’s when that term was weirdly common and it never meant to kill someone; just to kick them out.

    Or yk this might be shocking but people generally have more kids when they can afford to own a home and start a family. Truly shocking information for capitalist bootlickers.
