Once again, Republicans are the shittiest Christians.

    I find it disturbing that some Americans glorify violence but vilify love and sex.

    • Blood, dismemberment, decapitation? PG13
    • Sex? Rated-R
    • The F word more than one time? Rated-R
    • Okay with public executions, but drag shows are too much.
    • Gay people kissing? Woke and against nature

      I saw a joke going around: “False hope suddenly surges as the words ‘firing squad’ and ‘Trump’ are seen together.”

    I grew up watching ISIS and cartel execution videos, some of the worst stuff out there. This is not what the “good guys” are supposed to do. It’s just absolutely disgusting. Anyone who supports this is simply a terrorist

    By the way everyone needs to remind the right-wing that the public execution of Charlie Kirk was cooler, more entertaining, widely approved, and sold more merch.

    And thus…

    spoiler

    Killing chuds on camera has more mass appeal to Americans than executing a traitor who killed his fellow comrades.

    Oh look.

    Bread has become expensive,

    so here come the circuses.

    When this is over, we need to recreate that famous photo of Mussolini a few hundred times all over DC. (You know the one.)

    I think the only firing squad execution worth watching since WWII would be one where it is Donald J. Trump who is being fired on.

      God, I’d actually pay to watch that. They could market it for ppv. Lots of people would pay for that I expect.

    Let me see how many other authoritarian dictatorships do public executions: Iran, North Korea, Yemen, but none of them broadcast them in live streaming. The only other occurrence of a live streamed execution was with the ISIS

    This is really stupid because desensitizing the public to violence in such a way doesn’t typically end well for those in charge, historically speaking… It’s evident thinking isn’t their strong suit…
