"In addition to his initial intention of killing Hegseth and/or Johnson, the affidavit said, English told police he considered burning down the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank."

Guy turned himself in, but doesn't really say why.

Going after the treasury secretary is so silly because it's such a niche job. What did the fucking incumbent treasury guy do to you? It's not even something funny like red day on the stock market -> blame the SEC. I'm sure if Trump likes him he's a ghoul, so his hobby is probably liquidating babies to make Legos, but I'd have to google "what does a treasury secretary do?"

    bessent was the architect of the 97 asian financial crisis acting through soros, many geopolitical analysts in china consider him to be the main 'antagonist' within the trump admin and many believe him to have a bone to pick with china as it was hong kong and the chinese government by proxy that put down his rampage almost 30 years ago

    There's a whole class of libertarian, monetary policy-obsessed people who hate the Treasury and the Fed something fierce. And when you ask them about it they go on these Marxist-length rants, and there's always something about Bretton-Woods, gold, and crypto for some reason.
