It's the only thing that the department has done vigorously in two decades.
I would love to see him get the death penalty, but then again, it's kinda funny seeing Americans complain after doing this to themselves.
Without performative cruelty, what's left of Trumpism? Incompetence, corruption and preening?
You forgot outright refusal to engage with reality.
He probably wants to do what his disgusting saudi prince piece of shit friend does and make executions public
You're actually not wrong
He is emulating dictators and has been for the past few years
The point isn't justice. It's to make people scared to try to overthrow him. Then he can pursue the death sentence and set an example
Actually yes, this is something a lot of GOP hardliners have been crowing about for decades. I remember a decent amount of people who wanted a public hanging for the 9/11 guys.
"America will be a Law and Order country!" says convicted criminal President.
These people are so predictable and unoriginal. "Fiercely oppose wherever the opposition is doing and vow to accomplish the opposite" is their entire platform. Their entire ideology is reduced to devout contrarianism.
No platform whatsoever. Literally his only game plan is to antagonize every single policy the Democrats make the world a tiny bit better with.
If Biden made a PSA about how playing Russian roulette is bad, we'd get President-elect Vance tomorrow. And given how blindly these lemmings follow, perhaps President-elect Johnson the day after that, etc.
But I was just at my in-laws and Fox told me he has plans! So many plans! No details available, but they assured me he definitely has plans!
Nah, his platform also includes enriching himself and other super rich people.
Tiny man gets a really tiny hard- on from ordering others to kill for him.
Napoleon, Hitler, Mussolini, Putin the list goes on.
Can we not insult Napoleon with those comparison, he was at least an actual improvement upon the French Kings and was an actual follower of the enlightenment. All other factors aside he is moreso in the same area as men like Cromwell or Caesar.
"Violent offender" includes "rapist of a 13 y.o. girl"?
We both know there's gonna be separate standards for the in group (them) and the out group (all the rest of us). Hell, here's an in group member who got 10 weekends in jail for that exact crime earlier this year. But, they'll arrest us for providing food to people who need it. (Dayton 2024) (Houston 2023) The laws are already there in some cities, why not make it federal law and make the punishment severe.
Republicans have been trying to make being trans punishable by death for ages. The play usually involves two steps: the first is to brand trans people as sex offenders, and the second is to allow death sentences for sex offenses.
Florida tried to take it a step further by reducing the numbers of jurors in agreement for a death sentence from unanimous to 9. Usually they try to add something about trans kids to make it "child sex offenses" too.
Yes, but only when it's not from the ruling class
