Great piece! I LOLed at your line about Comey’s behavior being like that of a keyboard warrior or the mental ill “an apt description of Comey’s post” 😂

As income inequality continues to increase, the ruling class will become more and more fearful of the populace.

Vampires fear the stake.

When I was a server and a customer didn’t want pickles on a burger I’d put “86 pickles”. The cook knew to take the pickles into the alley and put 2 to the back of the head.

This is exactly what I thought - it's a restaurant term

That this is a thing, is indicative of how low we have fallen and how batshit crazy these people truly are. It's sole mission is to crank up paranoia so they can make this more of a police state. 86 does not mean murder, violence, or anything more than take out the trash. It literally means to throw something in the trash. What I find interesting about this is that Trump was all kissy face to the Saudi dude who did actually order the kidnap and murder of a journalist, followed by some chainsaw action, a barrel, and some high grade acid. The Trump people are "petrified" by goofy Comey and his seashells and at the same time, have a love fest with actual murderers. Ironic!

I like "terror-washing." But Ken, once you get all kitted up in your cool camo tactical outfit you just have to get on camera with something! Is the Fox viewership to be left unaware of the danger posed by the possibility of undocumented anti-fa trans-women Palestinian-supporting satanist abortion providers seeking to book meeting rooms at public libraries?

Many of us don't live in the USA.......what does 86 47 mean?

IF you are going to write things maybe take a bit of time to spell them out. It is the same as Acronyms.

Yes. And the post I put in my private group is locked down so that no one can comment on it.

Bumble Jack Prilosec did this to Biden and freaked out. Instead of pearl clutching, libs need to admit these freaks are just better at politics or ask “does the DNC really WANT to win?”

Also, Hunter’s hawg.

"declared it an “act of terrorism.” they have to justify their existence somehow, especially, these days.

Great piece! The FBI, Homeland Security, CIA employees need to visit their doctor and have their medication reviewed and upgraded.

This paranoia reminded me of a 1986 visit I made to the Rajneeshpuram in north central Oregon. The intentional community was populated by thousands of followers of spiritual leader Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, later known as Osho. Many Americans viewed the movement as a cult. During my visit, during the later days of this community, Bhagwan drove by, in a protective motorcade, alongside a line of his followers, Due to fears, that there would be an outside attempt to assassinate their beloved leader, their police force was stationed behind the crowd, with rifles at hand, as a warning to any potential assassin.

Thanks for writing about things MSM only gives lip service to. I received a meme from a friend with the caption "Dr. Fauci Announces a New Mask That Will Save Thousands of Lives." Standing behind him is DT with duck tape over his mouth. HILARIOUS! IMO. So, how long before our jokes are labeled domestic terrorism? Regarding Comey, Karma can hit hard, but honestly 8647 is reaching.

I can think of a more specific number than 86, but I will leave that for others to figure out.

You know, I might have laughed this off like you do during 45.

Like Gov Whitmer did about her mug next to her in an interview.

But two actual assassination attempts - with supposed SS protection - should stop all the laughing.

Whether he knew the meaning or not (he most certainly did), the ‘have a sense of humor’ approach went out when

- 95% of the entrapped J6 folks (grandmas and escorted into and thru the Capitol by uniformed and undercover feds) were SWATed at home, parked in detention for months, then given real jail time by out of control DC judges, and

- the 13 July attempt ‘missed’ being a CNN Lifetime Emmy only because he turned his head by an inch.

Politics is rallies and position papers, not threats of violence and intimidation.

I hear you; but in my view, the way to prevent future attempts is by prioritizing resources on serious threats rather than media circuses like these

So when did Maxwell Smart become a threat to the US security state? Are the FBI going to be visiting Mel Brooks next?

There's probably a rhyme and reason behind the numbers that makes sense for others.

But for me: (holds fingers) missed me by that much.
