Comey was actually using numeric goroawase (Japanese wordplay) to send a message to his favorite Mario character

{８|ハ} {６|ロー} {４|ヨ} {７|ッシー}

The seashells

Can't wait for 75th president Trump Jr Jr Jr to think Tommy Tutone is out to get him aswell

They wanna kill my daddy!

congrats to these great minds cracking that coded message.

I'm also a big Comey social media follower and my own deciphering attempts had been thwarted by the unshakeable belief that Comey was misremembering the lyrics to Tommy Tutone's hit "867-5309 (Jenny)"

Well, if 8647 wasn't a thing before, it is now. Gotta love the Streisand Effect. Good job, you MAGA dumbasses.

Ok, this seems like a positive development… Rank & file feds will jump to defend Comey. Morale will drop and we’ll see leaks and other minor acts of rebellion against the Trump admin. This will trigger a reaction to remove “woke DEI” FBI agents which will basically gut the agency. This could happen.

Cool remember when musk openly, with words, in plain english, called for someone to assisinate biden and harris back in the summer and nothing happened?

I know it's futile to point out the hypocrisy of people who only act in bad faith, but still...

Based Comey?

A far more reasonable interpretation would that this simply means "dump Trump" ie: in the garbage, as you would expired food. Or in other words, get rid of him. Saying this implies murder is a huge stretch.

But, who am I to question the professional constantly-outraged victims.

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.

Defending Comey isn't really my bag. I just kinda wish anything meant anything. How cute is the coincidence that a bygone character of the civil soap opera is done in by his contemporary: alternative facts

If they arrest him - it's a double-edged sword.

Con: It means they can arrest anybody for saying anything.

Pro: It's fucking hilarious.

Well, Golly, James. I never mourned much for the loss of President Hillary, but one wonders if you ever looked back and maybe thought it was a dumb fucking idea to announce that investigation days before the election.

Can't you communists see? Can't you see? OPEN YOUR EYES! JUST LIKE STALIN, TRUMP FIGHTS THE DEEP STATE!
