Almost two weeks ago, the US Department of Justice announced that it had foiled a plot by Proper and a number of co-conspirators to assassinate Donald Trump and other elected officials at the Ultimate Fighting Championship event recently held at the White House. As of Friday, eight people from around the country are in custody. All appear to be men in their 20s or early 30s.

    The left is really falling behind the assassination plot counts. Kind of embarrassing tbh.

        Idk, whats Luigi’s political identity?

        He seems pretty “self-correcting free market” kind of dude if he went after a CEO and not a Republican Legislator.

        Keep in mind he’s the rich heir to a fortune, with an ivy league education and used to have a six figure tech company desk job.

          I was joking, but since you asked: why would a left wing attacker have to go after a ring wing politician? Anti-CEO sentiment is usually a pretty solid left wing view, especially when they’re squeezing people out of their savings by denying healthcare claims.

          And he can be an heir, can have money but still be left wing. Those two are not mutually exclusive you know

            Brian was immediately replaced, and the interim CEO who replaced him was later replaced by the shareholders in favor of a more profit-oriented CEO.
