“86” does not mean what Trump and his sycophants like Congressman Cline want us to believe it means. Trump’s Department of Justice tried to give it a different meaning when it made its laughable indictment against former FBI director James Comey for posting a picture of some seashells.

On that note, references to “86 46” abounded during Joe Biden’s term. Right-wing provocateur Jack Posobiec in 2022 posted that exact message on Twitter, though he was never indicted because that would of course have been ridiculous. To this day, merchandise like T-shirts are sold on Amazon and elsewhere featuring the “86 46” message, and of course, no one has taken that as any kind of threat to the former president’s life.

We know you’re desperate. But give it a rest, Ben.
