Matthew Livelsberger, a 37-year-old Green Beret from Colorado Springs, Colorado, also wrote in notes he left on his cellphone that he needed to “cleanse” his mind “of the brothers I’ve lost and relieve myself of the burden of the lives I took.” Livelsberger served in the Army since 2006 and deployed twice to Afghanistan.

“This was not a terrorist attack, it was a wake up call. Americans only pay attention to spectacles and violence. What better way to get my point across than a stunt with fireworks and explosives,” Livelsberger wrote in one letter found by authorities and released Friday.

        Yeah, but Vance has nothing going for him. When he becomes president, Republicans will deteriorate into pretty infighting once again and people will be sick of it

          They probably just expected him to croak in his own. Safe to say, they’re never gonna ask him to change his eating habits and they’ll probably respond slowly to a heart attack if it happens behind closed doors.

            Been my running theory. He’s unhealthy enough that they can hope, he probably isn’t the type to look at the nutrition info on his McDonald’s.

            If that doesn’t work, he’ll be an easy 25th case soon enough.

            Theil and musk have a plan.

      I’m envisioning Trump being attached to electrodes that turn his body to mush and then an orange-tinted puddle.

      It’s a nice thought :)
