Leaving someone in jail for life lets them reflect on just how badly they ****ed up, killing them frees them of that.

Trump's probably too narcissistic for him to reflect on much but at least he'd be guaranteed to spend the rest of his days in a derelict ****hole of a cell and not a gilded mansion.

trump seems pretty upset and think it's unfair about being held to what he's done in the first 100 days, who's the jerk that made that a deadline anyway

Ah, but you see he's very clever. He didn't promise to achieve those things, merely introduce the broad measures and fight for their passage, so he fully delivered.

The real meat's on the first page of that "contract".

Capital Punishment could be OK only if:

1. It is proven that it sometimes deters and

2. The criteria for certainty of guilt was moved to "beyond a shadow of a doubt" and

3. The murderer was a non poor person who meticulously planned the act purely to make money OR the murderer was someone who was already going to get life in prison who would otherwise consider his next murder a free roll. The "cruelty" of the murder should not be a factor.

I would also add a number four to prevent shenanigans.

4. To be eligible for capital punishment you must be white.

I agree completely.

Love how the pro life party wants to keep murdering people.

And of the two written dissents produced by those four, zero had anything to do with innocence but instead on the general problems they have with execution procedures. I don't know how my post could have been much clearer wrt that.

Seriously? That's exactly what you were doing by posting those three tweets and you know it. You just saw them in a feed somewhere and gobbled it up immediately, and spewed it back out as with your normal spam. It's like Breitbart-left with your posts sometimes
