Summary
Trump vowed to direct the DOJ to “vigorously” pursue the death penalty for violent offenders after Joe Biden commuted the sentences of 37 federal death row inmates.
Biden’s decision, aimed at halting federal executions, drew mixed reactions: victims’ families expressed both support and anger, while death penalty opponents urged Biden to extend clemency further.
Trump criticized the commutations as undermining justice and pledged a return to “Law and Order” during his presidency, reigniting debate over capital punishment.
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.
Nah, his platform also includes enriching himself and other super rich people.
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!
“America will be a Law and Order country!” says convicted criminal President.
“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.
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.
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.
I wonder if he was at half-mast while saying this…
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.
It’s the only thing that the department has done vigorously in two decades.
What the fuck is Joe Biden’s problem? “I need to save degenerate murderers from the death penalty because the death penalty is barbaric and uncivilized, and I need to give Israel more bombs to kill children.” What kind of moral triangulation is this? Who is it for?
Remember, solving any problem while not solving every problem is a complete waste of time and it’s better to do nothing.
Are you mad at the right things?
