    ATF with the dis to cover up how dumb special forces are:

    “The level of sophistication is not what we would expect from an individual with this type of military experience,”

    a CNN article goes out of its way to insist the guy was completely apolitical while sliding this little graf in there

    “When President Trump was in office (Livelsberger) would comment on his Facebook page about the things President Trump had said or done or how he’s helping the military,” the relative, who asked not to be named, told CNN. “Matt had a lot of respect for Mr. Trump – he just loved the guy.”

    yeah man, just one of those normal, regular, apolitical military dudes who just loves Trump and posts all the time about it between kicking in doors.

      Always wondered how many troops of ours participated in the coup

      We know the CIA was there, because even the NYT reported on it (because they tried to drum up sympathy because those guys might be in danger from Putin boo-hoo)

        I’ve talked to a troop who proudly talked about being there in like 2021 lol. I’m just like “thanks, but I don’t think you’re supposed to be telling me this are you?” (I didn’t actually say that)

    Saw something on Reddit saying the guy appears to have sustained a gunshot wound before the boom; didn’t say where on the body, but if he had a round chambered in something the fire could have sent that round.

      Ok actually clicked the link

      self-harm

      The man who died had suffered a gunshot wound to the head prior to the rented Tesla vehicle bursting into flames outside the Trump International Hotel on New Year’s Day, said Clark County Sheriff Kevin McMahill.

      Officials believe the wound was self-inflicted and said a firearm was found at the driver’s feet.

      wild conspiracy speculation

      Hell of a way to dispose of a body/cover up a murder though. Shoot a guy in the head, rent a car with their phone, “full self driving” it somewhere loaded with an inept “suicide car bomb”. The more hamfisted the protest-ish appearance the better.
