Feel free to use for posters and whatnot if you'd like.

And PS for TPTB, 86 is in no way a death threat but simply means to remove, as in impeach and remove from office.

I don’t get why talking about impeachment is a threat.

86 is about throwing someone out, not getting violent, but everything is off the constitutional rails right now.

yup, 86'd has always meant 'yer out of here' growing up all over the US.

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines the term as to "refuse to serve (a customer)", or to "get rid of" or "throw out" someone or something.

Of course they'll project their murderous desires onto whatever they encounter.

Wonder if I can get the last 4 of my phone number changed

You can get your number changed. Asking your provider for just the last four will yeild the same response.

86 is a restaurant term to remove a product from the menu, typically it is done due to running out of a key ingredient. It has since seen some broader use.

In this situation it is meant as a call for Dear Leader's removal from office; a call for impeachment, conviction, and removal. The regime is purposefully misinterpreting the meaning and deeming it to be a thought crime.
