The administration of United States President Donald Trump has announced plans to expand the use of the federal death penalty, including through the deployment of firing squads.
The announcement on Friday was part of a policy document issued by the Department of Justice, setting out the legal argument for various methods of execution.
It touted steps for “restoring and strengthening” the death penalty as integral to the pursuit of justice.
“The Department of Justice acted to restore its solemn duty to seek, obtain, and implement lawful capital sentences — clearing the way for the Department to carry out executions once death-sentenced inmates have exhausted their appeals,” the Justice Department said in a news release.
In a two tiered justice system where the rich have no accountability I can’t see this being problematic at all. America is a shit hole country now.
Had been for quite awhile now, longer than we’ve been able to see it.
Shooting the pedos? Let’s start there.
And everyone on this side of the pond said I’m overreacting by calling trumps immigrant detention centers “concentration camps”, but here we are. Even the Nazis didn’t start as fast with their genocide as the orange turd seems to try.
Death penalty is stupid because now ppl who Commit a crime will just all in.
Death for being a rally? Guess ill just commit to politicians instead
Death for aborting rapist baby. Guess ill kill the rapist and maybe a few morw while im at it.
Etc etc
Will they start with child rapists?!
Nope just immigrants
Add Russian agents to the list.
Always a fucking day he comes up with an awful idea.
The death penalty is anathema to civilised society.
Would anybody be interested in a party at The White House on July 4th? BYOF(Bring Your Own Fireworks).
Tbh if I was on death row, I think I’d prefer firing squad to some drug cocktail
Smart choice. Lethal injection has a terrible history in reliably killing someone without issues. A firing squad is significantly more humane, and people on death row will generally opt for it if given the choice.
However, it’s far less common today because society doesn’t like firing squads; everything about them feels too barbaric.
Hmmm I wonder why that is… Surely it couldn’t be because capital punishment itself has no place in civilized society, right?
Don’t let the trump folk know about being “drawn and quartered”. Those fuckers will jump on that like white on rice. Can you say “trump/epstein” files?
Or the Blood Eagle execution the Vikings used to do, yikes 😳
Blood eagles were only mentioned by Christian skalds hundreds of years after the viking age. There is zero contemporary historical evidence that vikings ever practiced that form of execution.
He means Death Squads. Every Republican accusation was an admission of guilt.
Let’s start with them.
I hope he does this, then the next president comes in and trump gets sentenced to death for treason lol.
Unlikely but a nice dream
I have absolutely no faith anyone will ever give these psychos any consequenses, especially not any democrat. That would mean they themselves would be open to consequenses, and that simply won’t do for the ruling class. The worst that is ever going to happen to Trump through legal and peaceful means, is that he’ll be sentenced to house arrest at Mar-a-lago, and even that is doubtful. Any other punishment will have to be done by the people.
Hell it’s a toss-up whether or not he’ll survive until the election. He’s under assault from both the outside and his own body. It’s just a question of what gets to him first a bullet or the dementia.
…or the McDonald’s.
Probably the McDonald’s. After all, it has already infiltrated the Pentagon.
Can we start with the pedophiles?
Sure, but only the poor ones.
Nothing should be a clearer indication that the death penalty should not exist than lunatics like him controlling it.
It’s funny how all the countries with autocrats or legal corruption love the death penalty
Itakes perfect sense really. They want to be able to legally execute their political enemies and anyone ideologically opposed to them.
also that countries that work to reduce violence like this and disparity is actually advancing. theory crafting societies of violence is just never going to work out in any long term way.
This is why I am disinclined to believe in secret government conspiracies. None of the actions of the current administration are clever or indicative of a larger long-term strategy, they’re all short-term plans that mostly exist so they can feel big and important when they announce them, rather than because they will necessarily achieve anything.
Secret conspiracies definitely exist but I agree this particular administration is too inept to keep anything under wraps.
I think they are likely but not like theories have them. Mostly bad action. The larger the more we know. I mean we know a ton about crazy crap they want to do currently. Not so much hidden as denied. Lots of illegal institutional activities.
