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.

Madness inflicting the nation as the mad king takes his throne. Trump isn’t even remotely equipped to handle this. I wonder what happens when the right turns on him.

Musk/Vance 2024? Or do they even wait that long? They could put Trump out to pasture in his golf courses and run the country. Maybe let one of his criminal cases play out. A state one they technically can’t control.

You might know this and I'm missing the sarcasm, but Musk can't be president (or VP). He's not a native born citizen. President is one of the few places where being a naturalized citizen isn't enough.

Trump isn't eligible either under the 14th amendment. So what? There are no laws anymore.

[-] __nobodynowhere@startrek.website 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Laws are words written on a piece of paper (or digital documents). They cannot enforce themselves. They are not magical. They will not protect you.

[-] N0body@lemmy.dbzer0.com 38 points 2 days ago

That would be up to the Supreme Court. What’s your level of confidence in them to enforce the law against billionaires these days?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

It really astounds me that people still think Republicans give two shits about the law.

[-] LandedGentry@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 days ago

They are ratfucks who bend and stretch the law all day but this is a pretty explicit rule with no nuance. They won’t violate it.

Bet? I’m way more confident it won’t happen than it will so I’m happy to take your money and donate it to a good cause.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Sure, I'll give you some of the negative dollars I have.

Of course I'm not going to fucking bet with a stranger over Lemmy, I'm not a gambling addict.

[-] LandedGentry@lemmy.zip -2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Lmfao a gambling addict? Ease up drama queen.

Either way musk isn’t going to ever be an eligible presidential candidate.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Either that or you think I'm a moron because I have no idea who else would be stupid enough to make a bet for money with a stranger over Lemmy.

[-] LandedGentry@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

You are a very angry person just swinging at whoever is in front of you. I used to enjoy chatting with you on my old (now defunct instance) account, I guess I’m seeing a different side of you now

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I am? I didn't realize I was very angry. How have you determined this?

Is this also something you would like to bet money on?

[-] LandedGentry@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 days ago
