Mark my words, they’re going to use this to “legally” eliminate any opposition.

The death penalty is more expensive, it occasionally kills wrongly convicted people, and there is no credible evidence that shows it deters crime.
I’d rather spend that tax money on potholes. This is dumb.

It's cruel though, and killing people makes small men feel big.

I can see this being morphed into immediate executions against dissidents or undesirables.

I think everything you listed are features, not bugs, to this regime.

Sometimes? About 50% of executions were of innocent people

It only is more expensive because of the appeals process... Something tells me this administration won't give them rights.

No no no don't you know it's John 316 that says "and Jesus said unto Paul "Kill all of your enemies and take your own vengeance here on earth. Empathy isn't real, fuck the poor."

Remember Pam, no one was entirely safe from Hitler's purges or suspicions, regardless of their past loyalties. History repeats, and if you happen to misstep, Trump could find his own version of "The night of the long knives"

The way he always somehow escapes the net our best hope is death by cheeseburger.

No anything he does as President is immune from prosecution, his BFFs in the SC said so!

The veil isn't just thin, it's also transparent.

The dots are so close they’re touching, yet so many people refuse to connect them.

They’re gearing up to jail and murder dissidents.

That way they can kill, uh, I mean silence the next Epstein because a court said so.
