The administration of United States President Donald Trump has announced plans to expand the use of the federal death penalty, including through the deployment of firing squads.

The announcement on Friday was part of a policy document issued by the Department of Justice, setting out the legal argument for various methods of execution.

It touted steps for “restoring and strengthening” the death penalty as integral to the pursuit of justice.

“The Department of Justice acted to restore its solemn duty to seek, obtain, and implement lawful capital sentences — clearing the way for the Department to carry out executions once death-sentenced inmates have exhausted their appeals,” the Justice Department said in a news release.

The orange twat probably watched a movie with someone getting executed that way, fell asleep, shit his diapers, and when he woke up decided that was the coolest thing ever...

Sorta like how the shitgibbon is trying to reopen fucking Alcatraz. Ugh.
