They'll find whomever was operating an agricultural drone in the area real quick. Flock camera everyone in the vicinity and cross reference it with drone registration.

Trump won 6.47% of the vote in DC. That's not a typo. Kamala won 90.28% of the vote. We do not like him, and he knows it, which is why he keeps tearing our city down to put his gilded bullshit in its place.

The District of Columbia is historically blue. It was given voters right around the time of Southern Strategy (when the southern racists left the Dems over the Civil Rights Act), and EVERY election, they voted Democrat.
Every single one. None of the 50 actual states, from the reddest Republican stronghold to the bluest Democratic one, have voted 100% the same party from 1964-present. That's how much D.C.'s unbroken streak stands out. And the only time it fell below 75% D-votes was 1980 (74.9%).

I hope they salted it.

"Any threat against the President is taken very seriously by the Department, and our U.S. Park Police will investigate this incident and hold those responsible accountable"
They still go with that stupid shit?
RetrogradeLlama
Yep. They’re fucking idiots. As soon as the judge finishes slapping down the Comey BS, they’ll drop back to a misdemeanor vandalism charge.
Leaps
Nah they are not idiots, they are just insecure babies and want to intimidate people. They know it is bullshit.
LibertyNcognito
Yes, and they are also idiots. They're dumb. They are incompetent. They are high on the smell of their own farts and ketamine.

Misconduct in the Grand Jury by the Trumpers... and it still took them three attempts to get an indictment (which has been dismissed).

"Etched"? By that they mean chemically or physically altered the ground? Or did someone just mow it down? I've got $10 says it was a MAGA (or adjacent), in order to claim "atrocity!"
DaisyfromDownunder
Did you know a small tube running down a leg depositing weedkiller as you walk on grass can spell out anything without detection? And it will only appear a week or two later making an alibi easier to have.
codenameRadical
Seems to have been done with a drone, something none of you should remotely take note of.

NonPoliticalChimpanzee
I see an 8 but that's it
TheShoggothOfMosquitoCreek
Maybe they got spooked after the first number and tried to hurry the rest.
Bojovnik84
It looked better on actual TV with flyover. I also think they were interrupted and left before they could make enough passes for other numbers.
fknbastard
I see 86 on top
7 underneath
unluckyandbored
I can kinda make out a 7 too.
Morganelefay
The others are visible if you zoom in, albeit faintly.
DukeDarkwood
I can't make out the 4, but the 7 shows up well enough, and the 6 above it... barely enough to notice. Close enough to assume the 4's there as well.
WoeToHice
Thanks, i zoomed in faintly and saw it!
IhopeUgetwhatUvoted4
I find only the 4 to be hard to see.
QuartzPoker
I can't see the 4, but I can kinda see the 7 and 6

Sonicschilidogs
How did they get MS Paint to actually paint on the grass tho!?!? S/
TheLordFoxington
Through great effort and trial.
Gustave13
you might be colorblind j/k
stryhf
That was honestly my first thought, this reminds me of the colorblind tests, where you have to semi-relax your eyes to see the other numbers.
GiantFlyingLabia
The 4 is extremely hard to see but they’re all there. Barely
Shewy92
I can see the 8 and 7 pretty clearly. The 6 is almost invisible, and I can't see the 4.
LupusLilium
Problem with the 4 is honestly the material used. It lines up almost perfectly with the other lines in the grass so it makes it harder to see.

It sure looks like an attempted 8647 - the fact Cheetolini rushed the FBI and Park officials over there suggests he agrees

Alternatively, it's pretty easy to fill a backpack sprayer full of grass killer and just go to town. People rarely ask any questions of groundskeepers doing their work.

Toss on a safety vest and you're fukin invisible to the general public.
AlwaysDownvoteDots
A yellow construction cap and a clipboard and you're invisible.

8647 aside, the grass looks terrible. Being the national mall, I would have figured it'd be pristine.
Sinlok
8647?
ilhares
"86" the "47th" president. aka Toss him out on his ass and don't let him back in.
criggie
Google says 86 is shorthand for murder or execute.
Trump was the 47th US president.
Puttemtogetherandwhaddyagot?
LibertyNcognito
If Google says that Google is very wrong. 86 has always meant to kick someone out and not allow them to return or to simply toss something. When I was a bartender we frequently "86'ed" people who caused problems, as in we told them to leave and not come back. We did not kill them.
AlwaysDownvoteDots
Wrong. '86' is 'remove from menu' if you've worked in food service.
Mechwarrior719
They parachuted in Golden Parachutes for some numbers written with dead grass? What a shameful waste of taxpayer dollars.
bourbonandbaddecisions
The golden knights are the Army’s parachute team used for exhibitions. They are probably practicing for the June 14th event.
Mechwarrior719
The news article made it sound as if they were dropped in response
AlwaysDownvoteDots
They're an exhibition team. They're intended to act as a bridge between civvies and soldiers.
Mechwarrior719
I get that. I’m saying the way CNN chose to word the article made it seem as if they were dropped in response and not as a pre-planned practice drop.
Thus why I commented as I did.
Scobragon
What do the numbers mean?

86 = slang for kill, off, get rid of, similar
47 = president number
VibratingNipples
Let me guess, fox news told you?
meme2zombie
86 is never slang for "kill", just "remove".
Trump is trying to pretend it means kill so they can attack people for saying it.
LibertyNcognito
86 means to evict or otherwise get rid of. It has never implied killing.
AlwaysDownvoteDots
Wrong.
JustAnOldLurker
86 is like 86ing someone, meaning like deny service to. And 47 could be the 47th president, Trump.
GingerLaird
Weird. I thought 86ing was used to deny a sale, because a product was out of stock.
JustAnOldLurker
There's a variety, but it's used for both that, but also to eject someone or worse.
JesaraB
it can be deny a sale, but you 86 a Product because it out of stock you 86 a Person for other reasons that normally involve removing them from the property (such as for being abusive to staff, or disorderly, and many other reasons)
GingerLaird
Ahh, so then "86 the [insert dish here]" means to remove it from the menu options.
JesaraB
Correct
fractalsphere
86 is a restaurant term for 'toss out' (NOT kill, or threaten, that was never the usage before conservatives said it was)
47 is the presidents numerical order
B3N15
Not even "toss out" more like "stop selling/take off menu"
meme2zombie
86 is also used by bouncers to remove someone from the bar. Again though it's remove not kill.
ilhares
Right. The difference between 86 and 187 is pretty damned significant. While I favor the latter on a spiritual level, not a practical one, as it might let somebody competent replace him until the next election and cause even more significant harm.
GimcrackGewgaw
I was once 86'd from my usual bar and that was the term they used. But they were more than happy to welcome me back a couple weeks later.
SOLARvsFACISM
Guy I worked with who was also a bouncer and bartender used to carry around those cards that say something like, "You have consumed too much alcohol and have broken some of our rules. You can save face by settling your tab and leaving now and we would be happy to welcome you back tomorrow. If not you will be removed from the premises." He said he was surprised how often it worked.
GimcrackGewgaw
The vast majority of people don't actually want to be a problem, even drunk. They respond well to being treated with kindness and respect even when they're not at their best. When I bounced, 99% of people were cool. We tried hard to be the safety team more than the security team, if that makes sense.
onlyhalfghost
yeah, the usual reason for it - it means "remove from menu/take no more orders" is you were drunk. Come back sober, welcome return.
GimcrackGewgaw
I won't claim I was completely sober but this was for an unsanctioned fight. A bit of a brawl broke out and a bunch of people got run out. Sanctioned (meaning somebody deserved what they got) fights were usually more violent but wouldn't get you 86'd.
