Did you see the news about the conspiracy theorist who set himself on fire outside the Trump trial?

"The man who set himself on fire outside the Manhattan courthouse where Donald Trump’s trial is under way has now been identified as a self-described “investigative researcher” who posted a conspiracy-laden manifesto online moments before the incident.

The fire broke out just after full jury selection ended for Mr Trump’s trial. Authorities identified the man as Max Azzarello from St Augustine, Florida at a Friday press conference. Mr Azzarello is now at the Weill Cornell Medicine Burn Center for treatment. Police responded to a 911 call for the incident after 1.30 pm local time, a public information officer for the New York Police Department (NYPD) told The Independent."

    Like every thing else Trump will make it all about him. Maybe he will go as far as to say it would not of happened if this crazy witch hunt wasn’t going on. Cheers and happy weekend!

    They are already doing that on the internet. The way I see it is supposedly the guy was a conspiracy theorist - conspiracy theorist are usually right wing and or Trump supporters. Regardless of his political believes he probably had a mental illness. Well Trump was in office he tried to stop or stopped funding for mental health programs. So maybe Trump did have something to do with it because he is part of the problem – not part of the solution. Cheers and happy weekend!

    He actually was anti government. He claimed Trump and Biden and Hillary Clinton, among others were all colluding.

    Well, he was a registered Dem and he donated only to Dems.   Does not sound anti-Dem to me...

    Self-immolation at it's finest. He lived for a whole day, that must have been so painful and awful, I'll bet he will never do that again.

    It would have been awful if someone had done it to him.  He did it to himself.

    Just confirming he was a left wing nut.  Before someone claimed he was trying to support Trump somehow.

    Well, he was a registered Dem and he donated only to Dems for years as far back 2015 and as recently as Jun 2022.   Does not sound anti-Dem to me...

    That would be like claiming myself to be anti-both sides because I dislike Romney/Bush/McCain.....not I am right wing.  


    And that guy was a left winger. This post was edited by my2cents at April 20, 2024 4:20 PM MDT

    Even Bernie isn't left wing - he's just barely left of centre. The Democrats are basically centre right. Of course, they SEEM left wing since the Republican Party due to MAGA has lurched so far to the lunatic right that Hitler and Mussolini were practically Commies by comparison. His Royal Orangeness borrows quite a lot from the Nazi playbook, unsurprising for a man who slept with a copy of Mein Kampf beside the bed according to someone who would have known - his late ex-wife Ivana.

    Lol.  The admitted socialist is not left wing....that is funny. 

    Yes compared to the rest of the world Dem are center right but we are talking about American politicians and we are using the American.scale and the Dems are left and Bernie is far left.
