He's clearly plotting to use the military as his personal hit squad, abolish the DOJ, install sycophants in every position, overtake school boards and election boards, engage in vote suppression and openly suggesting he'll abolish democracy.
Wait...
Truly disgusting. As I said in the other thread, those who support the death penalty are filth.
Interesting but very sad interview with the guy in the guardian - https://theguardian.com/us-news/2024/jan/21/kenneth-smith-alabama-execution-nitrogen-gas
Tbh I can somewhat understand the want for revenge that the death penalty gives people(Especially the family of the victims). But I agree with you it’s a insane and disgusting policy to put into practice.
They actually devised a new way to kill people after the previous attempt at killing him through lethal injection failed because they couldn't find a vein, and subsequent injection plans were delayed because they couldn't find the drugs involved. The fact that they went out of their way to devise a new way to kill him is pretty sadistic.
Advocating for the death penalty is to proclaim that someone's vengeance is more important than the life of an innocent person, because there can be no doubt that there are people on death row, and who have been executed, who have done nothing wrong.
And perfectly on brand for the majority of this country. The first and last answers, when taken together are sickening.
"Capitalism!!!" "Shut down the big 3 and make thousands of people lose their jobs!!" ...."but not if it's wall street or a company in my state.."
The couple of articles I’ve read seem to suggest this new method isn’t any “better” at killing and could be in fact more dangerous to both the prisoner and the executors. Really messed up.
Agree. I’m always depressed at how well it polls in a number of different countries.
Alabama Republican: ‘Everyone has some type of racist in them’
I mean Alabama, so not surprised. What a way to make a justification of suppressing votes and trying to defy court decisions on fair maps. Everyone's a lil racist huh!
I posted a Netflix documentary on this subject in here https://www.redcafe.net/threads/the...n-america-thread.461474/page-87#post-31557621.
I saw that link and it is on my list to watch. Thanks for posting it!
Odds for a People's Republic of Texas?
This guy should probably focus on his own government getting overthrown resulting in his own death.
Can you imagine if the actual 2nd American Civil War didn't start over Jan 6, Trump attempting a coup, a terrorist attack on the government, or anything like that - but instead over states' rights to use barbed wire to drown kids?
Why would I want to take someone's barbed wiring?
The GOP's pivot from policy to grievance has led to what we are seeing now. Their drug addict like base has an ever-increasing tolerance for the level of rage needed to keep them satiated and I can't see this ending well.

I'm sure the president of Columbia is being hauled up before Congress any minute now...
That will reach many ears in the US. Don't assume they're as informed as the ones who post here.
What's this about then?
Fecking hell, what a day. What a time to be alive. Anthony scores AND with his right foot, and I agree with something Tucker said.
Everything is upside down .
Oklahoma GOP votes to censure Lankford over Senate border talks
Its a crisis, Dems want the open borders! Then some people actually try to make a deal and get some policy rather than endless fearmongering and rhetoric. Nope nope we need that endless fearmongering we can't have "fixes" or actual policy Trump needs it to run on!
All day long everyday right wing media squawking in their ears about the migrant waves coming to kill them in the grocery store, steal their jobs, take half their paychecks, sneeze dangerous diseases on their kids.

Hard to describe when exactly this started, but I think a massive shift was the story about Russia and 2016, and then Jan 6th. It's pushed a lot of liberals into conspiratorial hyper-vigilance and an aversion to doing politics and standing by their own values, preferring to blame the omnipresent foreign hand and treating political issues like a hostile invasion.
Proper unhinged response that.
That not everybody loves Israel as much as politicians in Washington, has not crossed her mind, apparently.
Ah bless him, he wishes there would be a civil war. Also Russia doesnt have a problem with immigration, nobody wants to come there. Oh about separation, they always dealt with that by crushing it in blood. Also People's Republic of Texas is a comparison with an Ukraine situation, when they organised a separation of parts of an independent country. It's all a bit messy in any case in his head.
Just read the last 3 or so pages of this thread. It's truly mind bending stuff. I remember first going to America 25 years ago and seeing a country that led the world in nearly everything, now it's dysfunctional basket case in so many ways.

On a serious note, how long do you think it will take before she gets canned by the DNC? The last thing they need is another liability, especially when they already have to deal with Bob Menendez.
