(25,083 posts)In addition to lock them all up, scheissnozzle lied away bigly. From the Detroit Free Press:
President Trump again misleads on auto industry and much more at Muskegon rally
Snip...
The president also falsely claimed that his Democratic rival, Joe Biden, forced Ukraine to get a prosecutor out of office while serving as President Barack Obama's vice president in order to block an investigation into Biden's son, Hunter, who was on the board of a Ukrainian energy company.

(109,263 posts)It has helped keep me from completely losing my mind! I've seen some seriously hateful shit being posted on social media and rather than engage, the best policy is to block and report it to Facebook / Twitter / Instagram, etc and let them take care of the trolls. I find it's best to let them know what kind of content is being posted on their sites.

"they were accused of cheating, and eighty-sixed from their favorite casino"
2. reject, discard, or cancel.
"the passwords will be 86ed by next October"
Not kill. Reject.

(25,083 posts)The Navy might have used it to mean take out the trash because anything referred to with the Allowance Type code AT-6 (say it out-loud and it sounds like 86) meant that it should be thrown into a dumpster. In military logo, the code officially means Non-COSAL excess item that does not have sufficient demand to maintain.

(3,921 posts)8645 means 'Dump Trump' meaning to vote him out of office.
OTOH, Trump implored lockdown protesters (many of whom were armed) to 'liberate Michigan' - and that is exactly what they tried to do.
