-Trump
How pathetic a world we live in where the POTUS wants the state to kill people and is proudly quoted about it more than once in his lifetime. I get that sometimes we want people to die. Trump's death will be gleefully celebrated worldwide, and I will join.
But there's just something so insidious about people in power wanting the government to kill people THAT HAVE NOT EVEN BEEN PROVEN GUILTY OF ANYTHING. Trump campaigning for the death penalty for Central Park Five should've been enough to disqualify him from ever being seen as a decent person. And yet millions ignore or agree with his sentiments of executing first and asking questions later. I cannot even fathom that anyone can fully think through the death penalty and still support it. Not even for the proven-guilty. Because there's almost always some possibility of error. How can anyone support laws that could ever possibly lead to the state murdering an innocent person? Like, ever, one time? What a sick world.
There's a whole lot of real good reasons to be against capital punishment. Little t promoting it is just one more.
I agree. It's a very rare thing that Trump ever supports, does, says, or likes a thing that isn't revolting. Any time an exception to that rule seems to come to light, I have to question if I have a wrong/horrible belief. He's just such a consistently shitty person that it's hard to fathom.
Not really sure which part of “Lock her up” implied “..after due process and a conviction by a trial of her peers” so this shouldn’t really be too surprising.
If you read my comment, you'll find no hint of surprise that Trump himself would say this. In fact I reference another time he did this, in the 80s.
Shit, they used to give people medals for shooting Nazis.
