Really. Her cosplay shtick is embarrassing.

Still, if she’s kicking bad guys’ asses I guess we can overlook the rest. That’s what’s must important.

“Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” Comey had captioned the photo on Instagram.

***********

Comey said the shells were cool.

He clearly saw that "47" related to Trump.

Its simply not credible that Comey would describe anything related to Trump as being "cool", so he knew exactly what message the formation was laying out.

Further, virtually nobody ever goes out for a walk on the beach and thinks about politics so its obvious that Comey had a hand in arranging the shells.

Unfortunately, Comey does what he knows he can get away with and is confident that Republicans won't do squat to him. Sadly, he's right about that.

Leaders have more credibility if they dress and act the part of what they’ve been tasked to do. I’m waiting for Noem to show up at a press conference wearing a bikini.

Perfect solution.

So the former FBI Director is walking on a beach (location undisclosed) and happens upon a series of shells that apparently nobody else noticed. And while he claims not to have known the significance of the coded message, he inexplicably snapped a photograph with his mobile device.

I’m just gonna throw the bullshit flag right there. Get him under oath and then have the Secret Service start with a forensic dive into Comey’s phone records including cell tower coordinates.

That should be sufficient to place him nowhere near the waterline and then he can tell us what he’s really up to or face jail time.

IF YOU’RE HOLDING YOUR BREATH FOR THE DEMOCRATS TO CALM DOWN & STOP TRYING TO INFLAME THE ELECTORATE TO TURN ON TRUMP (OR KILL HIM), YOU’LL FAINT SOON.
TAKE A DEEP BREATH & WATCH & SHARE THIS VIDEO!

If I was writing a novel, the Crown Prince would worry that Comey was signaling another assassination plot. He would worry that if they 86 Trump, that would cost him the most supportive President ever, trillions of dollars, and the chance to modernize his Kingdom.

And then the Prince would remember dealing with one very troublesome guy Jamal Ahmad Hamza Khashoggi.

And then he would remember Comey is always walking along in nature. People just -vanish- out there. Just ask David Paulides!

“I’m waiting for Noem to show up at a press conference wearing a bikini.”

That would be a show stopper, for sure! 😁

Don’t ask @grok though, equivocation is a prime directive there. Wish Elon would do something about that bullsh!+.

He shouldn’t unless he’s on some classified contracts where clearances are required.

…Ha…

…I asked ChatGPT if a former head of the FBI would know what 86 meant…

The odds of the former Director of the FBI, James Comey, genuinely not knowing what “86” means—especially in a potentially violent context—are extremely low, though not zero. Here’s why:

1. His Professional Background

Comey served as:
• U.S. Attorney • Deputy Attorney General
• FBI Director (2013–2017)

Throughout his career, he would have been deeply involved in criminal investigations, intelligence briefings, and counterterrorism operations. Slang like “86” is widely known in law enforcement and criminal justice circles. It appears in:
• Police reports
• Criminal wiretaps
• Interrogations
• Intelligence assessments

2. Cultural Awareness

Even beyond law enforcement, “86” is common in pop culture—films, TV shows, and books—especially in crime dramas and gangster contexts. Someone of Comey’s education and media savvy would likely have encountered it.

3. Possible Alternative Explanations

Given the backlash and investigation:

• It’s plausible he’s downplaying awareness to defuse accusations.
• It’s also possible he intended a clever or ambiguous reference but misjudged how it would be interpreted.

4. A Margin of Benefit of the Doubt

Despite all that, it is technically possible he was unfamiliar with the term in the specific “violent” context. “86” has different meanings—like canceling an order—which could be the frame he had, especially if he genuinely saw “8647” as just numbers.

Conclusion: It strains credibility to believe Comey never encountered the phrase “86” in a law enforcement or violent context. The odds of his ignorance being genuine are very slim, unless it was a rare blind spot or an honest misstep—but many observers are skeptical for good reason.

I never use @grok. I don’t even really know what you mean here so @grok would be beyond me I’m sure.

No clue what it is really.

PDJT is bringing peace and prosperity. Who could be against this, and why?

To date, researchers have been unable to determine the exact cause of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
