This is a death cult & they thrive on sadism. They want to use terrorism to control the people. Torture porn to desensitize & normalize violence & death. It is psychological warfare.

If they use a line of Barrett .50 cals, it will be like shooting the "helpless cripple" with an anti-aircraft gun! Donnie's love letter penpal Kim will be so jealous!

I don't know that any amount of alcohol would rid any decent soul of the taste of things to come.

I think this is four out of five, so…

Few of the things they did are as reprehensible as this one. Livestreaming an execution?

We have become the Taliban + North Korea. Just incredible. And 1/3 of the Americans support these assholes.

Maybe 1/3 of *voters* support the GOP, but I wonder what polling would reveal about how people feel about televised executions.

I suppose offering the condemned man the traditional last cigarette will be off the table. Smoking is hazardous to your health and would send the kids the wrong message.

You know how every once in a while there's a story where you're like, "I cannot." This is that story for me.

Fuck the death penalty. It is WRONG WRONG WRONG. Anyone who watches it can burn in hell.

You are SO right. When we are all subjected to this as a "normal" part of America, there is no turning back. What in the holy fuck of all that is sacred are we teaching our children, grandchildren, great grandchildren... Generations will think this is all just a video game. No harm, no foul. It's despicable.

I just had the only positive thought I could scrape up about this subject: They're going to fuck up the live streaming of this because they are terrible people who are terrible at everything. It will not work like they expect, although I'm sure that the video will be released later regardless.

Let's face it, whomever decides to handle this thing 'live streamed' is going to get hacked to shit, or overloaded or anything else. The pros *should* stay away from handling this, and all of their 'loyal' people who offer to help out will just fuck it up even more.

If Donald Trump was not put in front of a firing squad after J6, than maybe we just shouldn’t use it.

the guy in the White House

If Americans have chosen to live in a system that regularly kills people in order to replenish their belief that they are good people and the system is just, than let the outcomes of that system be shoved in their faces.

All I have is complete and utter disgust with this sad excuse of a human being.

I can't even muster that for him.

In other news, hurricane, Saudi Arabia really taking it in the pants by the Houthis (which honestly is a cute name and should be attached to something cuter than those scrappy warfighters - "Look, there's a little Houthi"), John Ossoff tells it like it is and I fucking love it, and Stephen Miller is revealed to have ordered warehouse detention centers that cause migrants pain and discomfort-If Trix lifts the ban I will give you all an elaborate scenario wherein I happen to meet Herr Miller and he is 10 seconds ahead of his security detail.

I imagine it starts with a door slamming shut and locking him in a cinder block room alone with you.

Mighty Little Dog's avatar

Almost every bone in the face yields to the elbow.

Houthi is the name of their leader. It would be like calling us Trumps.

Mighty Little Dog's avatar

Well, it's cute and should be repurposed for a furry marsupial.

gallbladder's avatar

Canned Trumps are even worse.

Our_Man_In_Redneckistan's avatar

That sounds like a challenge wrapped up in a net good.

RRJKR's avatar

Used to be that you had to travel and then stand around in a crowd for hours to witness a public execution. Now you can view it from the comfort of your recliner, beer and snacks on hand. How far we've come!

Chemical's avatar

No jokes about this barbaric bullshit. We're repaying injustice with more injustice. Besides, death is too good for the sack of shit they are executing, so just let him rot in prison.

"It's not a firing squad, it's a kinetic strike!"

Stuart's avatar

If Hegseth is invited to serve on the firing squad, will they give him the dummy cartridge? In a way, it would be fitting.

Padraic Smithies's avatar

I was thinking the same thing. At least that way he can have the thrill of participating w/o anyone noticing he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn from 5 yards.
