in undisclosed locations.

Can you do that to a ballroom?

Certainly that's what a person means when they write the letters "8647" using seashells on the beach. No other meaning could possibly be construed.

... in red hats are so stupid that they don't know they're stupid. To "86" something is restaurant shorthand for "We're out of something", like pork chops or lima beans, or whatever. But we cannot forget that, for Republicans, lying comes as naturally as breathing; it's their basic nature, because only lies can support and defend their diseased belief system.

to me the term just means "premanently ban from the premises." Which it seems to me is the most logical meaning re tRump.

But let's face it, even in the remote alternative where it would mean something else.. I mean, let's say someone spelled out "kill trump" in seashells and posted it. Stupid, maybe and worth getting banned from the platform - but a criminal indictment? Come on.

Only one person has the right to call for someone to die and we know who that is, not 46 and not 48! With him it’s a regular occurrence!

Is the "Fuck tRump" sticker I put on my tax payment voucher going to buy me a visit from Agent Tom?
Because Melania did that to him--once--and all we got was Barron.......
