https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/may/16/james-comey-investigation-8647-trump

THIS is the link OP meant to post.

The number 86 has also been used by Republicans calling for the impeachment of Joe Biden: for example, T-shirts sold on Amazon read “8646”, indicating a call to impeach Biden (the 46th president).

"When we do it, it's a call for impeachment, but when they do it, it's a call for assassination."

You know, if not for Trump being a little bitch baby about everything he sees online, I'd have never caught onto this catchy little phrase that I'm going to start using a lot more often. 8647, motherfucker.

The persecution fetishism will continue until morale improves

That isn't at all what 86 even means. 86 just means to remove. 187 means murder.

And?

Comey is just verbalizing what we're all thinking.

Or impeach and remove him? Would make more sense as the meaning. But that doesnt let 47 feel like such a victim.

Sadly even if he did get his head blown off, it probably wouldnt change much.

Yeah, but I'd still have it playing on repeat on a TV in my home for the rest of my life. Just to keep my spirits up. Print out each individual frame and hang them on my walls.

Hey man, nice shot.

It'd change everything. Fascism can't survive the death of the guy at the center. Nobody else has the ability to create a faux populist upswell. The second string guys would fight amongst themselves and fracture the party.

Since Trump is very old and loves McDonald's, we'll probably see this happen one way or another. It's a medical miracle it hasn't happened already.

There would be weirdos on the fringes decades later saying how Trump tried to make America great, but they'd be largely ignored.

Pres. 747 more like it, little orange bitch

One day you will read his obituary.

It'll be an audiobook, voiced by Kid Rock.
