Hmm, Why Did Gretchen Whitmer Display a Sign That's Viewed as a Call to Assassinate Trump?

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) sure is hypocritical, even for a politician. Just weeks after a deadly ricen poisoning was mailed to President Trump, Whitmer prominently displayed an "8645" sign in the background of the camera during an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press." When the term "86" is applied to a person it often carries the meaning of killing the individual.  

The left is violent and murderous enough without further stoking by the governor. 

Antifa, ginned up by Democrats, routinely attacks cops and Trump supporters, killing one recently in Portland. Joe Biden and Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) talk about beating up the president. Celebrities like Madonna and Johnny Depp talk about killing President Trump and blowing up the White House. Alleged comedian Kathy Griffin posed with a severed head resembling the president. Rapper Snoop Dogg made a video about assassinating Trump. 

Squad members have called the president a mother fu**** and urged continued unrest in the streets. Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) called on lefties to get in Republican faces out in public. A leftist shot Republican lawmakers at a congressional baseball game. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) was attacked in his kitchen and Paul and his wife were both attacked by a left-wing mob as they departed the final night of the Republican National Convention. 

Don't forget the BLM and Antifa thugs who've been terrorizing American streets for months and openly wishing death to police officers who've been shot by riot goers.    

Whitmer herself was the recent target of a kidnapping plot led by anti-Trump anarchists enraged over the governor's strict lockdown orders. The lefties' plot was foiled by the FBI and the governor projected the left-wing violence on to President Trump. But Democrats like Whitmer have spent the last four years inciting violence against President Trump and his supporters. 

The left is emotionally driven and historically susceptible to violent rhetoric. The leaders of the mob should be held responsible for the violence they routinely gin up. 

(Whitmer's "8645" sign can be seen around the 50-second mark of NBC's video)

“Being objective, 86 also means kick out or ban, not necessarily murder.”

I’ve never heard it applied to anything other then killing the person

-

I’ve really only heard it used in terms of getting banned. 86’d from a night club for example.

“Don’t get carried away’ 86 has always meant ‘kick out of the establishment as in saloon or bar. Assassination is a little off the deep end.”

Yeah.

Well, she had it on her desk, and someone noticed the cipher on some guy’s lawn. Smells typical for the Rats.

Yep. That’s what it means. Some of the reactions to this remind me of the “Paul is dead” days.

86 is also used in the restaurant business when a restaurant runs out of an ingredient needed to make a dish. The item is 86’d from the menu.

It’s a lot older than that. Seems to have started in the 1920s as lunch-counter slang for an item being sold out or otherwise unavailable, then evolved into a signal for “Don’t serve this guy”, and from there it was an easy step to a reference to a customer being thrown out.

I don’t remember ever seeing the phrase used to mean killing someone. Maybe it’s been used that way in really bad pulp fiction.

Gretchen Weiner was one of the original Mean Girls. This Gretchen is both a weiner and a mean girl (among other things).

Did you see the leader? He had huge holes in his ears! What a freak! In one of his pictures he had black plugs in his ears. In another of his pictures the plugs were gone but the huge holes remained. This guy did not look like he belonged with the other guys who looked normal.

I think the FBI reached out to these guys using the “Antifa” looking guy as the hook. The whole thing looks phony.

Suspects Say Ring Leader in Plot to Kidnap Governor Whitmer Was an Alleged FBI Informant — Who Pushed the Entire Plan.
I would not be surprised if Whitmer herself was in on the plot from the beginning. She recently suffered a setbacks to her tyrannical lock-down rules.

‘Assassination is a little off the deep end.’

The “8645” signs/clothing are available on cafepress.com and Amazon.com.

Here’s the Urban Dictionary definition:

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=8645

Haven’t seen any of these signs in my neighborhood.

Did see a big “Dump Trump” banner about half a mile from here.

Moreover it could easily be photoshopped. In short, this looks like fake news from the right.

Did you even think about checking the video before making such erroneous claims?

Maybe in your world. There are dozens of origin stories for the phrase, mostly related to death and bars or restaurants, but most of the time wasn't it just used to mean “throw out”?

No, it has always been used for “kill “ or “Spike” a story. From the paper press days actually, when “spiking” a story meant sticking it on the desk top spindle of "dead stories".
Remember the warnings from the early computer punch cards “Do not, fold, spindle, or mutilate.”

I’ve only heard it when we run out of something at the restaurant. I have never heard it applying to people at all.

I am very concerned about the Dems communist antifa assassination squads.

Why? 1 they do nothing with out being paid. Don’t think Soros is that dumb. 2 so far they have been going after dem governors so they are eating their own. 3 they are getting caught, so, so much for masterminds. 4 they cant get close to Trump, even at these rallies. Off the plane, to the podium, back on the plane.
