Boeing'd now a major motion picture comedy starring John Candy because nobody says "major motion picture" anymore but that's the phrase I wanted to use.
Buried on page 554 of the plan is a directive to execute every remaining person on federal death row — and dramatically expand the use of the death penalty
this kind of scrutiny is, in a weird way, why I think Trump may be the harm reduction candidate. Liberals and liberal outlets have endless excuses for the Democrats and their failures, and with any other Republican they keep the gloves of respectability on. But they hate Trump so much, they do real actual combative journalism on everything everything his campaign does.
unfortunately, a fraction of people make it as far as the actual article
Trump gets top billing for what he may eventually do, Biden gets a paragraph sandwiched in the middle for what his administration is currently carrying out
Also he’s president. He has the power to permanently commute their sentences to life imprisonment instead. If he cared about stopping this he could do it in 5 minutes.
I mean, it's not exactly hidden. Republicans have been foaming at the mouth to bring the death penalty back in full force for decades now and the Trump administration did go on an executing spree on their way out last time.
There's likely no more soft landing for the US, Trump will do the thing P2025 is pushing, executing all the federal death row inmates, to normalize it, and expand sex crimes against children to include public appearances of drag queens and such. Probably his or a future admin will really push prison on the unhoused, climate/drug war refugees, and certain gender/political minorities (for the free labor to prop up other stuff).
It's all very predictable and another 4 years of Biden won't prevent these things happening, just prolong them and probably make it worse somehow by bottling it up for longer.
"Shit, Project 2025 threats aren't working... Jimmy, what do we have in the back???"
"Uh... Donald Trump is going to authorize hundreds of thousands of hillbillies with shotguns to go out and murder the blacks, transes, and ay-rabs on his first day in hypothetical office?"
"...Jimmy, you're a goddamn genius; have a promotion."
Fuck it, I hope they do at this point. Maybe I'll get got first, if I'm lucky. Like, I hope the smuggard genocide collaborating crackers who've been haranguing us to voot bloo regardless of the racist genocider they want to put up understand: I'd genuinely rather die. I would genuinely rather die myself at the hands of a reactionary cracker than support their genocider-in-chief.
Eh, whatevs. I'll probably be too jaded to care if that did happen. Been protesting a genocide too long to really look at death in a normal way lately.
Halfway through I had to give up making a shitpost for a guy I made up named Nick Liberal...
Somehow the actual post with its generic lib klaxon call of "democracy itself is on the line" annoyed me and it zapped my inspiration. So here it is as a shit comment.
