Disgusting.
Damn. They're not going to leave anyone one shred of innocence. And everyone else from whom we've stolen it will celebrate our comeuppance.
These people are such freaks
The Pentagon announced on Monday evening that Nidal Hasan would be executed by firing squad, which Hegseth recommended and President Donald Trump approved. Acting Secretary of the Army Adam Telle set the date for Hasan’s execution on December 3 at 2pm ET, 1pm CT, at Fort Hood.
Hegseth said the execution would occur on “a Thursday, we’re going to do it at one o’clock, which is when he did it, and it’s going to be soldiers with rifles executing the firing squad.”
Jesus fuck we have lost our way
It’s just a return to what was before, because the people forget after decades of comfort what its actually like living under the rule and culture of tyrants and sycophants.
It breaks the heart.
"Violence in our hands, embrace it if need be."
But this is what we’ve always wanted as a fundamentalist Christian nation: some hardcore eye-for-an-eye shit you can take the kids to. Put it on TV. The line between entertainment and real death is long gone. “Here. Here's American Gladiators. Watch this, shut up. Go back to bed, America. Here is American Gladiators. Here is 56 channels of it.”
Ironically the actual fundamentals of Christianity:
Be kind to your enemy. Turn the other cheek. Forgive those who trespass against you. ..to the least of these... Let he who is without sin...
Hush, that’s communist talk!
America has always been violent
If toxic masculinity had an avatar how would it be any different than Hegseth?
Backne
I hope one day it's his turn and they do the same. I'll make popcorn
Fascists always gonna fash.
This is just warm up. Trump has been itching to execute his "enemies" via firing squad - Stalin style - except that trump has instantaneous WORLD WIDE ACCESS to the world. He has been DYING to start executing his enemies. You know, like democrats. Intellectuals. news people. Like that. That's why he made firing squads part of the federal "justice" system in his first term. Long term planning. Once he steals the next election he'll have carte blanche to be the Stalin he's been trained to be.
I figure because he's such a sleaze that he'll make it pay-per-view and cash in on that too. Finally... his ratings will begin to climb.
Intimidation and fear monger don't scare me nazi fuck stains! want evil? come knock on my door bitches
