In the context of "86 the president"? I guess I'm a moron because that's definitely how I interpret it, on its face.

Kristi Noem reportedly wants the U.S. citizenship process to play out in front of the cameras.

The Homeland Security secretary has been working with writer and producer Rob Worsoff to pitch a reality TV show—titled#The American—where immigrants will compete in a string of challenges across the country “for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship,” according to the#Daily Mail.

I read it as "remove from service".


How ever:

According to Cassell's Dictionary of Slang, "to 86" also means "to kill, to murder; to execute judicially," likely referring to the size of a standard grave being 2.5 feet wide by 8 feet long and 6 feet deep.[8][9] Other slang dictionaries confirm this definition.[10][11][12]

I think people may be vastly underestimating what I mean by "do something" and "too late".

A Vegas cabby told me what it meant. Anyone get out of line back in the mob days, they would get 86’d.

Driven 8 miles out in the desert and in a grave 6’ deep.

Lol

A Reality Show Where Immigrants Compete for U.S. Citizenship? D.H.S. Is Considering It.
A spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security said the agency was happy to review “out-of-the-box pitches.” [nytimes]

Truth is becoming stranger than fiction. I’m reading Chain Gang All-Stars, where convicts compete gladiator style for freedom. It’s supposed to be satire.

So instead of a grumpy-faced Trump saying "You're fired" at the end of the show, Noem will proclaim "Go back to where you came from."

Or sent off to a camp or prison.

The Trump administration is working on a plan to permanently relocate up to#1#million Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to Libya, five people with knowledge of the effort told NBC News.

The plan is under serious enough consideration that the administration#has discussed#it with Libya’s leadership, two people with direct knowledge of the plans and a former U.S. official said.#

In exchange for the resettling of Palestinians, the administration would potentially release to Libya billions of dollars of funds that the U.S. froze more than a decade ago, those three people said.

No final agreement has been reached, and Israel has been kept informed of the administration’s discussions, the same three sources said.

So conservatives are ok with billions of tax payer money used to re locate people from other countries? Totally defies what they claim to be. It’s a cult because MAGA will be ok with it. What a joke. Aside from that, JFC.

The orange turd is throwing a hissy fit today after Bruce Springsteen criticized him during one of his recent UK shows, and also appears to threaten him as well.

Yup, totally normal presidential behaviour. Is ICE gonna deport the Boss to El Salvador?

https://globalnews.ca/news/11183881/...ld-trump-jerk/

The president of the United States, upset with being name-dropped and criticized by the rock and roll icon at one of his recent concerts, bashed The Boss as “Highly Overrated” and “not a talented guy.”

“I see that Highly Overrated Bruce Springsteen goes to a Foreign Country to speak badly about the President of the United States,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Never liked him, never liked his music, or his Radical Left Politics and, importantly, he’s not a talented guy.”

He went on to accuse Springsteen of being a “pushy, obnoxious JERK” and “dumb as a rock,” before zeroing in on his appearance.

“This dried out ‘prune’ of a rocker (his skin is all atrophied!) ought to KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT until he gets back into the Country,” the president wrote, seeming to threaten Springsteen with consequences when he returns to U.S. soil.

“Then we’ll all see how it goes for him!”

While introducing his and the E Street Band’s song Land of Hopes and Dreams, after which his current tour is named, the 75-year-old Springsteen said, “In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration.”

“Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experiment to rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism and let freedom ring,” he told the crowd in Manchester, England.
