Tiny-d donnie keeps insisting we are in the “golden age” and things were so terrible under Biden. 🙄

How dare you impugn the prowess of this guy!

capital punishment supporters
discomfort and pain
I don’t think most of them even have normal human empathy. I’ve seen lots and lots of these kinds of arguments, and what people seem to be missing in these arguments is that some people have no moral compass. It will give them no pain and no discomfort whatsoever.
Remember this: people used to take their kids and have a goddamned picnic while people were being lynched. It was family entertainment for them. We still have people among us that would go right back to that sort of thing if permitted.

Hegseth or Dump?ETA - oh I see the alcohol part. I guess it’s Hegseth since donnie doesn’t drink. Other than that, I guess it could be either of them.

Anyways making the dude rot in a private ran prison is way more of a punishment than getting a quick bullet to the head.
Yep. Dude said he wants to be a martyr. I think just letting him live the rest of his years in prison is a much better option, all the way around.
But all too often, the dumbest and least moral monkeys on the planet are the ones calling the shots.

I was just listening to the audiobook for Enlightenment Now.
And man is this a gut-punch: he was talking about the overall trend, worldwide, of capital punishment trending downwards. Including in the United States.
He talks a bit about how the U.S. is an outlier among first world countries in that we still even have it, and how we are in the company of some rather awful nation-states when it comes to still having the death penalty - China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, etc. You know, real beacons of freedom. Then he quotes someone (?) that said it may be possible that even in America, and even in the Southern states, it may trend to zero.
By 2026. The book is from 2018.
Well, I guess we missed that chance. But as long as we keep electing stupid apes like donnie and having bloodthirsty assholes like Hegseth who clearly peaked in high school running things…it might be a while.

These same roid monkeys threw an MMA thing on the WH front lawn.

☝️ This is the answer. Also: a loyalty test for special treatment - or at least not getting attacks - from Dump.

LOL, like this really needs careful consideration.

Also, why can’t ding-a-ling donnie even pronounce “vegan” properly, for fucks sake?
He sounds like a goddamned alien in a skin suit when he talks about Talarico.
It’s 2026, and assholes like donnie are still trying to paint being plant-based as totally gay and fem or whatever. I swear that assholes like donnie are going to lose their fucking minds if vat grown scales up, because lots of people are going to eat something that doesn’t involve suffering. If being a vegetarian for 20+ years is any indication, they won’t be able to ever shut the fuck up about it if they are even sitting near someone eating vat-grown…
Of course, some states have preemptively banned it and it’s pretty easy to guess which ones. 🙄
I didn’t read it. I’ll just assume billionaires are funding this for totally good reasons for the American people and for democracy.

Who is going to be doing this checking, I wonder? And we are talking about kids, right?
Or are the cons trying to tell private organizations how to run sports for adults, too?

Hm, it’s like “JD” here is taking a page out of Mike Johnson’s playbook. Well, at least he didn’t pretend not to have even heard of about it, like Mikey always does.
Surprised he was not practically sprinting away from the camera while answering.

To conduct the arrest, the ICE officers used two vehicles to block Bergal’s car. After he refused orders to exit his car, Bergal accelerated and smashed into the ICE vehicles, Charles said.
Charles said Bergal “then weaponized his vehicle and proceeded to accelerate, going towards other officers.” The officers responded by firing their weapons, believing “that their life and the life of the partners and general public were in danger,” he said.
Is there video?
Because I remember the lying liars saying the same kind of shit before…
