When you post crap about family, you should really wipe first. /s OH: THERE you are:
You should also get that looked at. There's a pill for that.

The Secret Service is investigating after ex-FBI Director James Comey posted an Instagram photo of seashells arranged to make the numbers "86 47" — a message that White House officials swiftly condemned as an attempt to put out a "hit" against the 47th president.
Comey later deleted the post after online backlash from government officials, lawmakers and President Donald Trump’s son. Trump has faced two assassination attempts — one of which resulted in him being shot and a bystander being killed — in the past year.
The post including the alleged "hit" showed the numbers in question etched into the sand at a beach using seashells. "Cool shell formation on my beach walk…" Comey captioned the Thursday post. While to some people the numbers may appear innocuous, "86" is frequently used as a call sign for murdering or getting rid of someone, while "47" has been interpreted as denoting the 47th President of the United States.
Following backlash on social media over the post, including from at least one lawmaker who called for Comey to be arrested, the ex-FBI chief deleted the post shared to his Instagram and put up a message addressing it.
"I posted earlier a picture of some shells I saw today on a beach walk, which I assumed were a political message," the subsequent post from Comey read. "I didn't realize some folks associate those numbers with violence. It never occurred to me but I oppose violence of any kind so I took the post down."
Shortly after Comey removed the post, Fox News Digital learned from a source in the Secret Service that they were aware of the matter and will be sending agents to investigate and interview former director Comey.

this is about the 17th thread on this issue. I wish there were not so many cliques here at FR or those who need more attention than most.
Nothing is gonna happen to this SOB so why even fkng bother talking about it!!??
And your comment is the One Hundred and First post on this thread.
If you wish to have your way, you should have perused a different thread.
...why even fkng bother talking about it!!??
So the MSM Disinformation Narrative isn't the only conversation in our society.
I wish there were not so many cliques here at FR...
You can always leave, it's a Free Country.
Whitmer’s video was from Oct 2020, before Trump became 47. The object on her shelf in that video reads 8645. Comey’s seashells read 8647. If Whitmer has an upgraded object now it would read 8647.
The director of the fbi didn’t know what 86 meant. Top law enforcement? Buullll baloney
Ahh, okay then. Thank you for explaining.
I’m replying to those whom I commented to and those who replied to me only:
I reached out to my BIL, whose brother is former fibby, having resigned during Trump’s first term for reasons pertaining to conflict with the bureau’s trajectory (i.e., the political winds); I’m not privy to details (yet).
He had no idea that ‘86’ referenced killing. He has no reason to deceive, especially to his brother.
Just sayin’.
At this time, my opinion is moot and I’m watching for entertainment. I have nothing else to contribute. Period.
“...former fibby, ...He had no idea that ‘86’ referenced killing.”
Sounds like he was: bad at his job, OR needed to get out more, OR is a pathetic liar.
Maybe he can explain why half of the country was outraged WITHIN MINUTES — immediately — of Comey’s ill-advised post being published. Half of the country knew exactly what “86” means. If an FBI critter says he didn’t know ... 🙄 ... he’s lying.

Drunk posting? What are you even TALKING about?
(The GIF is a hoot, though.)
Ooooooooooopsi...SORRY, posted to the wrong post & thread!
I was skeptical of this claim. I like math problems, so I decided to calculate it myself. It’s true! Exactly 8647 days elapsed from September 11, 2001 to May 15, 2025:
30 days in Sep 2001, minus the first 11 days: 30 - 11 = 19
31 days in Oct 2001
30 days in Nov 2001
31 days in Dec 2001
23 years from 2002 to 2024 (inclusive) x (365 days/year) = 8395 days
2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020, 2014 were all leap years: 6 more days
31 days in Jan 2025
28 days in Feb 2025
31 days in Mar 2025
30 days in Apr 2025
15 days in May 2025
Now add them all up:
(19 + 31 + 30 + 31) + 23*365 + 6 + (31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 15) = 8647
Works out!
See? Third-Grade math…and you didn’t need to ask an AI. However, everyone knows what Comey meant by “86 47,” and no counting of days required.
I’d like to know who the 132 people were who liked his post. Probably mostly members of the Fake News Media and demonicRATS. But I repeat myself.
