Friday, January 24, 2025

State Rep. Bruce Skaug (R-Nampa) introduced the bill which would make Idaho the only US state to give preference to a firing squad.

Humanitarian, all-round good guy, and Colonel Sanders doppelganger State Rep. Bruce Skaug (R-Nampa) who introduced the firing squad bill is my nomination for worst person in the world. (Undated photo via the public domain).

Instead of introducing a bill to outlaw capital punishment, Skaug is working hard to enshrine it. Didn't he hear Bishop Mariann Budde's national sermon about showing mercy and compassion? The Trump Crime Family (TCF) sitting in the front pews unhappily heard the sermon. And boy, did they look uncomfortable. Priceless.

Red, white, and blue baseball bats wrapped in barbed wire sounds more MAGAish. But only if, with every whack, the goons shout, "Praise Jesus!"

Personally, I'm pro-guillotine. And also compelling all members of the public to bear witness to it. Don't hand out barbaric punishments and then act all dainty and civilized about it.

A good ol fashioned draw and quartering is the way to go. If it's good enough for William Wallace...

A country isn't a civilized society if it condones capital punishment.

What is wrong with these people? Have they been one possessed with evil demons? Is there something in the water?

Democrats have gone from being pro safety, pro USA citizen, and common sense, to instead fretting about deporting evil criminals and having compassion for killers. It is why it is necessary to elect those who will Make America Great Again and make us safe again. Democrats have lost the concept of needing both. Instead of making good people safe as their priority they want to protect criminals and problematic others

A country isn't civilized and pro safe society if it supports allowing vicious vile murderers to continue to kill innocent victims ever. They need removed from society forever.

Unless they commit crimes or murder for Trumpy.

Then violent armed cop killers and insurrectionists should be allowed to run free. As long as they commit those crimes while yelling "Trumpy akbar!"

Yeah. Makes total sense.

There have been more than enough wrongful convictions and prosecutorial fookery to warrant retiring the death penalty.

It is interesting that Donald Trump, the GOP, and MAGA have stopped using the word "rapist" in their public comments.
