33. If this manifesto is real, this is so, so sad.

This is what Trump does to people. He ruins their life.

Think of all the damage Trump has done, not only to our country, but to the world since his birth!

This young man's life is over--at 31 years. I hope Allen will get the help he needs.

I certainly can empathize with his anger at not being able to stop all of this, though

violence is never the answer. My heart goes out to his family, too.

Side note, I do wonder at Allen not wanting to target Kash Patel! What is up with that? Patel is pathetic,

but still very dangerous in his complicity.
