It's no longer amusing to see Republicans lose their sh*t & do the wailing and gnashing of teeth thing over FOUR NUMBERS

One of Trump's biggest gripes against Bondi was that she failed to prosecute and convict Trump's "enemies" like Comey.

Facebook friends are posting "THE FOUR NUMBERS" on their pages and are being 'warned" by people in the comments.

What UTTER FUCKING HORSESHIT.

REPUBLICANS show up in social media clips on a REGULAR BASIS, and ya KNOW WHAT?

They don't read off any fucking numbers. I'VE SEEN AND HEARD THEM CALL FOR THE EXECUTION OF DEMOCRATS, usually with the "justification" that they "committed treason," and the "treason" is usually that they said something Lard-Assed Orange Rapist Felon Jesus "didn't like."

So now we're afraid of posting numbers, afraid that Kash Patel will regain consciousness after spending the night asleep in a pool of his own urine and vomit, and drive his mighty unmarked van to our house and arrest us for POSTING NUMBERS ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

This day has been too fucking much. And it's ALL about making America CRAZY before the MIDTERMS so that REPUBLICANS can manipulate the weaker and more ignorant in the flock into VOTING REPUBLICAN.

prosecution for posting a pic the 🍊🐖💩 doesn’t like is insane.

And what happened to freedom of speech. Hopefully it will get thrown out!

8647?

5014?
What is a 501(c)(4), anyway?
More than 12 years ago

The news that the Internal Revenue Service flagged conservative groups for extra scrutiny has drawn renewed public attention to 501(c)(4) organizations, which play a very influential role in politics. So, what the heck is a 501(c)(4), and why do such groups matter in electoral politics? If you're curious, keep reading.

The internet fails me.

Do I have to ask Claude?

Hurry before I call the clickbait police.

And have a great day.

8647 is just slang for fire Trump. 86 - get rid of, 47 the orange anus.

It has been a little pennant on US flags for quite a while.

I won't say whose flags.

Thanks.

hearings, when a witness said one of the plans was to "eighty-six" files that had been removed during a burglary. The files would've been evidence. No mention that the slang term could include murder.

I am occasionally (aka often) wrong, so I asked Claude what it thought about 86'ing. Below is what it had to say. I thought the history was of interest.

The prompt:

I think the term 86 is generic for getting rid of someone, e.g. firing. Others are claiming that it's shorthand for killing. What do you think?

Its response:

You're right, and the "killing" crowd is largely wrong — or at least working from a very minority usage. Here's what the evidence actually shows:

The primary, well-established meaning is exactly what you said: to get rid of, remove, or refuse service to someone or something. Merriam-Webster defines it as "to refuse to serve a customer" or "to get rid of or throw out" someone or something.

The origins are murky, but they clearly point toward removal/rejection, not violence. The term first appeared in the early 1930s as soda-fountain slang meaning an item was sold out. By the 1950s it became a verb, initially meaning "to refuse to serve a customer," and later broadening to "to get rid of; to throw out."

As for the "kill" meaning, it's real but very much secondary and recent. The verb sense of "kill, murder, or execute" only appears in documented usage from 1978 — decades after the term was already well established. Merriam-Webster acknowledges some equate it with "to kill," but notes this usage is infrequent, stating: "We do not enter this sense, due to its relative recency and sparseness of use."

Comey's lawyer has the easiest job in the world.
