For those of us out of the loop, why would 8647 mean "Kick out Trump?"

Nice message though, shame it never happened I suppose :-(

    It took like... FAR more effort than it should have for me to get it.

    86, slang, as in something you might tell your buddies like: "Oh I they 86'd from the bar last night because they were wasted"

    86, as in, getting kicked out. See: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=86

    Then, "47", as in, the 47th president.

    However, its only now I'm learning about its use to refer to a grave. I've never heard that before. I've only heard the usage as a verb/ adverb "to get 86'd"

    47 does not mean "a grave," that's just a MAGA lie to try to inject some measure of rationalization for this absurd and malicious persecution.

    Not only should the judge kick this out, they should sanction the prosecutor who charged it.

    The cowardly Trump lawyers will keep bringing this bullshit to court, just to keep their paycheck, until judges start slapping them down hard with real consequences - investigations, sanctions, contempt charges, complaints to the bar, disbarment, etc.

    When they realize that they could actually lose their freedom and/or livelihoods by following orders, maybe they'll start either defying those orders, or quitting.
