Attorney General Bill Barr announced on Thursday that the federal government will resume carrying out the death penalty.
It’s highly unlikely Trump knows that the method of execution for federal death penalty crimes is lethal injection. He must have asked his pal in North Korea how they do it. “Dogs would be bigley!” “The machine guns you used on your uncle” “So amazing!”
Just another way the GOP is trying to get rid of brown people.
I wouldn’t mind watching Trump get given the Ramsay Bolton treatment.
Will this give all the evangelist christens an erection?
Unmitigated evil, for purely selfish reasons of misdirection.
#IMPEACH
IANAL but wouldn’t this just open up these cases for appeals?
Barr: “Hey, bloody public executions works for the Sauds, so why not?”
Barr said in a press release. “The Justice Department upholds the rule of law
Had to be written. No way he could’ve said that with a straight face.
So where are they going to get the lethal injection drugs? Who at Mar-A-Logo owns a drug company?
The sanctity of life birth party, taking the first step to normalize execution. Next target audience, enemies of the state.

Do the Catholics working with Evangelicals to deny women the right to choose, approve of this new policy? Of course, Republicans think the Pope is a communist.
Same way they always do: “other” the ones they want to kill.
I would like to see the 54% support figure broken down by religious affiliation.
didn’t treason used to be punishable by death…
Of course they are. That’s what fascist governments do.
Of course they are. Trump will need this to go with his “Enemies of the State” list.
