It’s not obscure at all, and it isn’t limited to just restaurants. I’ve known the term 86, referring to removing something or someone, since I was kid.

This has been the case, more than once.

Recently, my mom and I looked EVERYWHERE for her favorite cane, and couldn’t find it. We took a break to clean up the kitchen, and I opened the fridge to put stuff away, and found her cane hanging from the high shelf on the door. She’d hung it there when she needed both hands to shift stuff around.

Also, the TV remote, multiple times.

Also, that’s a good way to remember to take your lunch to work in the morning. Get it ready the night before, and put it in the fridge with your car keys on it. The next morning, when you can’t find your keys, you’ll eventually remember that you put them in the fridge with your lunch.

Theil holds Vance’s leash, tightly. If Vance becomes president, Theil becomes president.

H1B Visa workforce is the wave of the future. The Sociopathic Oligarchs are angling to create “Freedom Zones” where they will build their new facilities, complete with living facilities for their foreign workers. They will operate independent of government regulations of any kind. Skum is already working on it.

It’s literally how they use foreign workers in Arab countries. They usually use Indians or Filipinos, barely pay them, and strictly limit their personal agency. It’s literally slavery.

It’s coming to America. We can always pick fruit.

Exactly. Now that the genocide is nearly complete, all that’s left is to bulldoze the rubble, build the Gaza Riviera (so wealthy Jews and Christians don’t have to spend their money with Muslims in Dubai), and write the history. These unscrupulous media outlets want to make sure that history reflects their late, half-hearted opposition, so they can always claim they were on the side of morality.

Anyone whose court file is missing has their sentence automatically commuted to life in prison.

They are trying to get us to accept the the new American Economic Paradigm that ALL households require at least two paychecks to exist, and 3 or 4 if you want to get ahead.

Of course, employers want us to be enslaved to them for our entire schedule, so they don’t like us working second jobs or side hustle.

Time for Robin Hood economics (take from the rich, give to the poor).

Starting pay at many office jobs isn’t much more than minimum wage, but at least young workers can tell their parents that they work in an office instead of running a cash register, and they wear a tie instead of an apron. That’s supposed to be worth a lifetime of student loan debt.

Well, if 8647 wasn’t a thing before, it is now. Gotta love the Streisand Effect. Good job, you MAGA dumbasses.

They’re all for States’ Rights, until those rights are different from what MAGA wants.

The Andy Griffith Show. Wholesome, and ALWAYS funny, at least until Don Knotts left the cast. I just watched an Earnest T Bass episode and an Otis the Drunk episode over the weekend.

I’m operating under the assumption that he is both virtuosically incompetent, AND an active, enthusiastic traitor who is literally trying to destroy America, so it can be more easily exploited by him and his wealthy friends from around the world.

That’s why I always buy at the end of the month, when either the sales rep and/or the dealership are trying to hit their quota for the month, and are far more willing to cut a good deal.

Tell them to deliver it, and send them the address of the county landfill.

If you think AOC is a “faker” because of her position on a single issue, then you are just a MAGA propagandist.

For all your words, you clearly don’t understand Politics.

Real Politics is about compromise, so ALL politicians have to have fuzzy boundaries sometimes. What really matters is the overall direction and morality of the politician. Are they compromising for the good of a bill that will offer a constructive improvement to America? Or are they compromising because it’s good for their career or their bank account?

I can get behind a decent, moral candidate, even if I don’t agree with all their positions, much more than a candidate with no morals who will tell me ANYTHING I want to hear.

I wish more people could understand that. So many people are still angry that the Dems won’t make him their candidate, but he is NOT a Democrat.

The presidential nomination is the highest award the party can give to a member, and they are going to give it to someone who has been a loyal party member, raised money for them, stuck up for them when they’ve done stupid stuff, etc.

Bernie is none of that. He may caucus with the Dems, but he has ALWAYS been an independent. For many years, he was the ONLY independent. He doesn’t raise money for them, doesn’t get in on their nefarious little backroom deals, doesn’t defend their nonsense on talk shows, etc. he’s been almost as critical of Dems as Republicans.

So the DNC is NEVER going to give him their nomination, any more than they’d give to a Republican. Imagine if the Dems decided to give the Democratic nomination to John McCain because he had a career of bipartisanship. Bernie is basically the same thing.

Nonsense. AOC is about as principled and moral as anyone can expect from a politician. Just because she doesn’t perfectly align with your expectations on this one specific issue, does not mean she should be tossed aside.

This position does not negate her positions on Universal Health Care, Climate Change, Worker’s Rights, Immigration Rights, etc. Even with her position on Israel (which could evolve) she is still on the correct side, and a strong warrior against MAGA.

It’s really, REALLY stupid to reject her on this one single position on this extremely complicated issue.

And this is why Dems lose elections - Republicans fall in line, Democrats fall in love.

The MAGAs will back anybody with an R, even if they are pedophiles, while a Dems will only vote for a candidate whose every single issue lines up perfectly to their individual demands. If not, they either don’t vote at all, or they vote for an impossible 3rd party candidate whose positions line up even less, but at least they aren’t a Dem.

I’ve been an Unaffiliated Independent since I first registered to vote in 1977. I’ve NEVER voted for a candidate I’ve liked. EVERY single vote I’ve made was the lesser of two evils. Frankly, as an independent who takes positions on both sides of the spectrum, depending on the issue, or often takes a nuanced position in the grey area in between, I doubt there ever could be a candidate who lines up perfectly for me.

AOC isn’t evil because her position on Gaza isn’t exactly what you want. We’ve seen and heard enough of her to understand that she’s a rare example among politicians: someone with authentic principles and morals, and motivated to fight hard for working Americans. She’s still worth following because at least we know that overall, she’ll be working for positive change for all Americans, and not just a tiny demographic.

We can’t make Perfect the enemy of positive change

Maybe?
