It is clear that the Biden administration should strike hard and fast after taking office.
They should already be drafting executive orders to handle the mess. Approaches can be developed to counter whatever the current bozos bollox up. Just as they are incompetent at their jobs, they will also be incompetent at bolloxing things up for the future.
But those children weren’t Americans and weren’t white.
I do not consider the death penalty justice, it’s pure vengeance, and according to a book I once read vengeance belongs not to man but to God.
If it wasn’t obvious before, their continued support of Trump after 300k dead Americans from COVID in 2020 has demonstrated “pro-lifers” are nothing of the sort.
The Authoritarian strain of Trumpism is on display here.
“Because I can”…sez Trump
And there is another aspect of Authoritarianism: slavering compliance to those above you…or as Ian Fleming said, “Either at your Feet or at your Throat”
And this is why sites like TPM are comparatively bereft of those kinds of folks…
So you people had better get on the stick and pay attention to what I just said here!
“Death penalty all the way,” Trump said at a February 2016 campaign event in New Hampshire. “I’ve always supported the death penalty. I don’t even understand people that don’t.”
Of course, and even for people who were found “not guilty” - i.e., the Central Park Five.
Monsters, every single one of them. And I am not referring to the convicts. I am completely opposed to the death penalty, but reading about the president*, Barr, et al., I could be convinced to make a few exceptions.
