"Again and again, our major institutions, from the media to the judiciary, have amplified Trump’s presence; again and again, we have failed to name the consequences. Fascism can be defeated, but not when we are on its side." newyorker.com/magazine/dispa…

@tophersimmons @ddale8 Weird how you have a specific cite for the one time "86" is used in the sense every honest person knows it;s used (i.e., "get rid of"), but when it comes to all the times it supposedly meant "kill," you're all "trust me, bro."

@ddale8 The Candidate (1972): A political film where a character is told to "86 the sideburns". Various Mafia Social Club Scenes: The term is commonly used in films portraying NYC Prohibition or gangster eras when referring to killing someone or tossing them out.

Entirely sincere question: has anyone seen a mafia movie in which a mobster orders a murder by saying "86 'em"?

@CindyCoops @ddale8 The saying predates the Vegas mob and did not mean to kill someone. Comey's defense will be "I understood the saying to mean to get rid of or take someone/something out of a restaurant, and I thought Trump should be impeached." How will anyone prove otherwise?

@JCRich @ddale8 There is not just one specific meaning, but all of its uses involve getting rid of. One of the uses is when ordering a lethal hit on someone. Something Comey knows very well. And now that we're fleshing out the context of his little stunt, that becomes even more clear.

There has never been a shred of evidence produced showing that there was any discernable number of non-Nazi/pro-statue protesters on the streets of Charlottesville that weekend."

...– but you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists, okay?” This could be a compelling argument. There’s just one problem:

@carney Because anyone that would willingly serve the Most Corrupt President in American History is undoubtedly too corrupt to serve in a position of public trust.

Great point. Why does Powell think he’s personally the lynchpin of Fed independence? Does he not think the other governors are up to the job?
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent@SecScottBessent

It is unusual for soon-to-be-former Fed Chair Jay Powell to stay on at the @federalreserve. For someone who speaks so often of norms, his unilateral decision to stay flies in the face of tradition. Kevin Warsh will bring about a new day at the Fed, with accountability, management, and sound policymaking in the lead.

......Did Trump specifically say, “Some neo-Nazis are fine people?” No. Did he say that there were “very fine people on both sides” of a neo-Nazi rally? Yes!"
