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.

    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 mean i am theoretically distantly related to potato billionaires if i pull that thread of relations i’ve never met hard enough. but like so is the rest of the state of idaho so whatcha gonna do. but like, i’m poor. don’t judge a person by their relations

      the story is really good though it involves shady pool halls, angry drunken cigarette wives and Uncle… I forget his name so let’s call him Uncle Darryl I don’t have an Uncle Darryl that’s what we’ve named Bigfoot. I’m going to have to ask Gran next reunion for all her sisters to figure out the official version of the story.

      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
