Summary

Trump vowed to direct the DOJ to “vigorously” pursue the death penalty for violent offenders after Joe Biden commuted the sentences of 37 federal death row inmates.

Biden’s decision, aimed at halting federal executions, drew mixed reactions: victims’ families expressed both support and anger, while death penalty opponents urged Biden to extend clemency further.

Trump criticized the commutations as undermining justice and pledged a return to “Law and Order” during his presidency, reigniting debate over capital punishment.

    What the fuck is Joe Biden’s problem? “I need to save degenerate murderers from the death penalty because the death penalty is barbaric and uncivilized, and I need to give Israel more bombs to kill children.” What kind of moral triangulation is this? Who is it for?

      Remember, solving any problem while not solving every problem is a complete waste of time and it’s better to do nothing.
