Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, is calling on Americans across the political spectrum to denounce the use of "8647" by protesters — a phrase some allege is a coded call for violence against President Donald Trump — after anti-Trump and anti-Elon Musk rallies broke out in several states.

The Daily Post reported that rallies against the current administration were held Saturday in multiple states, with demonstrators holding signs reading, "We are not okay, hands off the USA, 8647." The phrase "8647" has sparked controversy over its potential meaning and intent.

I pray every morning and night for God to keep President Trump safe. The first time I don't think I ever cried so hard in my life. I thought he was gone.

The relevant bit: “. . . While the number 86 is widely understood as slang for “get rid of,” the number 47 references Trump’s position as the 47th president of the United States. The implication, critics argue, is that the term is a veiled reference to a call for Trump’s assassination.”

Sounds like a threat to “our democracy.”

[Dennis M.]

8646 sounds better.

[norcal joe]

Or an insurrection.

[Skywise]

That sounds very fascist like...

[Kriggerel]

On a traditional phone dial, 8647 could also spell out “TOGS”

Won't take long before it moves off the internet. I'd start watching out for shirts on people and bumper stickers on cars with that particular number set on them. That will clue you in on the enemies around you.

I was at a barbecue the first time when it happened in Pennsylvania. These married Couple at the party said that his rhetoric made the person do it. I left the room with my fist clenched I was so pissed.

Being 86’ed was slang for permanent removal from a bar.

So I’ve been told.

Some lady had it in birthday balloons.

[BarbM]

They are “so bright” using a big number such as 8647
but the kids in school cant complete this: 2+2=_

[TheConservator]

This is certainly what they mean.

[ChessExpert]

The people holding the signs should get a visit from the FBI. Perhaps they should be swatted.

True. 86’d is you’re tossed. 41 years and dunno how many bars in Vegas *grin*

47 would be Trump is President 47 (says me).

86 in food business, restaurants means “ out of”. Like 86 Prime Rib to the wait staff means suggest something else. ALL we prepared for tonight has been served

[SkyDancer]

Why have to dig down line after line to get to the meaning?

[SaxxonWoods]

This is overdone. To 86 someone is to bar them from being at a particular premises.

That’s not violent.
