Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

He seems to have a better idea than you or any of the conservative talking heads. To 86 something means to throw it away. 86ing someone means to throw them out, or for the bartender to cut them off. I have never heard it used to suggest killing someone.
These people are lying. They will say anything means whatever they want it to mean if it furthers their goals of amassing power and influence.
They say tattoos are indication of gang affiliation. Even when they don't have the real tattoos, they'll just Photoshop it and make it say what they want anyways.
They have no credibility and no one should take anything they say as honest. But you should absolutely take their threats and accusations deadly seriously because they are making justifications for greater atrocities.
Comey needs to be prepared to be taken to jail as a spectacle. He needs to be prepared to fight this stupid fight in court. They will absolutely do everything they can now that they're in charge and all serving the orange king.
Edit: just to reinforce my point, the secret service is now investigating Comey. https://youtu.be/INbARfysPy0
Exactly like I said he'd do. Trump will take anything you throw at him and call it a weapon and say he's a victim. Even if it's a picture of sea shells, clearly protected by the first amendment. Trump claims the only definition of '86' is 'assassinate'. And that everyone knows that's what it means. He will force this to court and eventually use it to attack judges when they rule against him too.
86 for me has always meant "no longer available" as that is what we told servers when we ran out of a menu item.
I also learned it was "out of stock"
I actually did think that it meant to kill someone
Interestingly, apparently no one knows where the phrase comes from. This is a rather interesting article about the topic that lists a large number of possible origins. Two of them could be very loosely interpreted at killing someone, or well someone dying anyway.

That second one isn't likely very true. Graves have always been referred to as 6 feet deep, which is 72 inches. Also, they're not dug that deep anymore in the USA.
None of the others could in anyway be considered a threat. I suppose it comes down to usage though. If people in some region have been using it as a threat, then maybe it could be construed that way when used by someone from that region. But it still seems like a huge stretch to me.
I think the latter is also where we get the term to "deep 6" something, as in "the Mac and cheese cooked in cola was a terrible mistake, let's deep six it and move on".
