    Well I’ve detailed my reasoning in this thread. If it is unconvincing, don’t worry. It didn’t convince any other Trump supporters either.

    Good grief, Bill. This entire issue is Trump supporters being outraged, or pretending to be, and demanding that someone be punished over it. What do you think a snowflake or a Karen is?

    what’s next, Trump claiming thatsomeone else always acts like a victim?

    Whoa, nice seashells.

    But did you have any comment on this clear call to violence, if not assassination of a political opponent? Or will you scroll past and pretend it didn't happen?

    (you know that impacts your credibility, don't you? And not in a good way. )


    During a rally in Glendale, Arizona, on Thursday night, Trump referred to Cheney as a “radical war hawk” before suggesting he hoped to see her staring down multiple gun barrels.

    “Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK?” Trump said. “And let’s see how she feels about it, you know, when the guns are trained on her face.”

    It turns out that the website Distractify tried to explain the meaning of 8647 in March, and here is their explanation:

    8647 therefore means that the people who display it want to get rid of Trump, or make it so that he is no longer the president. The message is vague about how exactly these people want to do that, but it seems that the point is to signal that you don't want Trump to be in the White House. It's not a call for impeachment necessarily, or even an endorsement of some other candidate. It's just a signal of opposition.
    8647 Is a Form of Silent Political Protest, but What Does It Actually Mean?

    Actually its roots go back to people who supported slavery, but its modern use is not left or right

    It simply means someone who gets their panties in a wad by what someone does.

    Plenty on the extreme right that fit that bill.

    Well ... that is one unauthoritative interpretation and opinion. No better or worse than others presented in this discussion.

    If all definitions are equally valid, why does this thread even exist?

    LOL, why does any topic/discussion exist in Too Woke for Swamp Gas?? I guess folks want to present their opinions, debate, and argue. Perhaps it’s the hope we can prove ourselves to be morally, ethically, and/or intellectually superior to others?

    Hold on. What!?

    People who voted for Donald Trump honestly think they might establish any of those points?

    I think you meant to say the quoted part is the goal for some of the people here. And for others, their goal is to establish that J6 was tourists, tariffs are rilly rilly good, and it's super cool to have a POTUS bilking billions out of the cryptocurrency markets.

    Well I actually like your reason to the ultimate question of being here, but my question was a bit more proximal. Ie If it is impossible to know what this code means, why are so many claiming to know exactly what Comey meant? Some have even suggested Comey should be imprisoned.

    You don't watch any mafia movies do you? Never heard of being 86th? 86 is what the Mafia used to mean take someone 8 miles outside the city and put them them 6 feet under.

    Oh, this thread. . . LOL!

    MAGA's desperate to say it means "murder" so they can engage in their favorite pastime. . . Nailing themselves to the cross!

    Oh, you're such victims. Poor MAGA. What's it like to be the literal definition of snowflake?

    Indeed. The man spent 22 years in law enforcement but the right wants to interpret his usage of a term, using a fringe/non-mainstream definition, as him publicly calling for the murder/assassination of Trump.
