And the poll found 85 percent of Americans believe that if the Supreme Court rules against the Trump administration on a policy or executive action, the Trump administration should follow the court’s ruling.

So 15% want Trump to go full dictator and just ignore the Supreme Court and do whatever he wants? I wish I could say I was surprised.

You know it.

Trump Shares Unhinged Plan to Release ‘Terrorists’ On Justices’ Doorsteps

It was also unacceptable under Reagan. At this point I think we can call it a tradition.

They lied about the mental capacity of someone that could start a nuclear war…

Oh my God! Biden might fall asleep and rest his head on the big red button and start World War III! Thank God we now have a very stable genius who will start a nuclear war just because he thinks it will make him look tough.

I kind of wish he would do something like this so maybe, just maybe the court would start taking him seriously as the threat he is.

Here, have an article with about a dozen different possible origins for the expression to 86 someone or something. Btw, none of them have to do with killing anyone.

“Bah! They can make it up in volume!” - Trump probably

And Trump is all excited that daddy is giving him his beat-up, old, used gas guzzler.

…and he can pardon anyone who enacts his will…

Only for federal charges. If people are breaking state laws to push his agenda, he cannot pardon them. It’s a little thing, but it’s something.

The FBI has been trying to get out of that building for at least eight or nine years. The intention was to move to a new building in the DC suburbs but Trump killed that plan in 2017. He wanted them in that building because it was near his hotel, I gather. The FBI then put forward a plan to modernize the J. Edgar Hoover building but the cost estimates on doing so appear to not have been, shall we say, entirely accurate. I guess the new plan is just to dump the D.C. office all together. Trump is making enough on meme-coins that he doesn’t care about the hotel revenue.

I honestly cannot help but assume that the Trump admin has some nefarious scheme in motion that will somehow hurt the American people and undermine the nations security, they always do after all, but that building has been falling apart for well over a decade.

Amazing.

Interestingly, apparently no one knows where the phrase comes from. This is a rather interesting article about the topic that lists a large number of possible origins. Two of them could be very loosely interpreted at killing someone, or well someone dying anyway.

In the days before a safety fence was installed on the observation deck of the Empire State Building, people would commit suicide by jumping from it. The deck was on the 86th floor.

and

There are those who claim the term refers to 86 inches, the standard depth of a grave in the U.S. So to 86 something is to bury it.

That second one isn’t likely very true. Graves have always been referred to as 6 feet deep, which is 72 inches. Also, they’re not dug that deep anymore in the USA.

None of the others could in anyway be considered a threat. I suppose it comes down to usage though. If people in some region have been using it as a threat, then maybe it could be construed that way when used by someone from that region. But it still seems like a huge stretch to me.

Fair point but I’m not sure that naming every permutation is possible. We might be better off trying to make do with charts or something.

It is. I’m just surprised they included so much. If you can get by with 100 pounds or 50 pounds, why wouldn’t you? Every ounce matters when getting to orbit. No one expected 50 years from these things, did they?

How long until the threaten to arrest O’Donnell for pointing out the obvious?

No I haven’t, actually. I was stopped by the price-tag before I ever got near one. I didn’t realize they were that big.

Damn, they sure built things to last in those days. I can’t even wrap my head around the fact that they had enough fuel on board for the thrusters to last 50 friggin’ years.

“The head of the FBI, [and] he doesn’t know what 86 somebody means?"

He seems to have a better idea than you or any of the conservative talking heads. To 86 something means to throw it away. 86ing someone means to throw them out, or for the bartender to cut them off. I have never heard it used to suggest killing someone.

Staffing issue. Do these people not even hear themselves?

Please always remember, this woman took an untrained one-year old puppy, that she herself failed to train, to a gravel pit and shot it to death because of the fact that it was untrained. She also wrote about it in her book because she thought it was something to be proud of.
