I'd argue it's explicit, as in comms, but that's hard to prove.
Yes, Leftist sophists are trying to downplay the fact that 86 47 literally means to call for the murder of the president by pretending 86 doesn't mean what it explicitly means in American English parlance.
You beat me to it with your other reply to Kienan, but to echo what you said, context is key here - and this has no context. I've read the comments of Democrats trying to run interference and give Comey/Krassenstein the benefit of the doubt, but their excuses amount to "haha no it's obviously not violent, don't worry about it." If I were SS investigating this, I'd focus on this line of questioning. If you didn't mean assassinate the president, what DID you mean? "Remove the president from office". Ok how? There have been no credible accusations of violating the law from Congress, and no real plan for impeachment. (that MIB-alien-looking Indian mfer failed) So how and why do you intend to remove the duly elected President of the United States from office? He will be out of office in 3 years and peacefully transition like he did his first term - like all American Presidents have in the past. Are you that against Democracy? Do you not see how your joke could be "misconstrued" in light of continuous ongoing threats of violence?
They have to work from the assumption that James Comey knows exactly what he's doing. He's not some retarded tiktoker. Well he might be, but I'm not letting him get off that easy. It would be one thing if impeachment proceedings were under way and you had protesters outside with "86-47" signs. That I would get. This is just random and out of nowhere - like Alex Soros's mysterious tweet.
Yeah, I'm not arguing what can be proven legally, or really, what can be proved legally outside of a DC court giving favorable rulings to Democrats. As Viva points out, they did imprison a right wing internet personality for election interference for re-posting a 4chan meme.
In a normal world, you shouldn't say to '86 46', because it can be misconstrued, and it's not something you want to allow for miscommunication on given the danger of being president.
However, if I had posted '86 46' two years ago, on this website, I would expect the FBI and SS to raid my house in the middle of the night, shoot my dog, and put me up on felony charges because of how aggressive the government's response would be.
