Sure. The death penalty is the ultimate form of premeditated murder and it doesn’t deter anybody from premeditated crimes. Also, the three drug cocktail is horrific. Look up that issue.

AKA:

The Miami Herald has been, for the last several years, doing a number of (relatively brief) stories exposing the myriad abuses and deaths covered up by the prison system in Florida. Rainey’s death was one of the worst, but I think a case could be made that the killing of Randall Jordan-Aparo was worse, as he was…

You know, maybe he wouldn’t have died from having been essentially poached and flayed alive. I mean, was that what really killed him? We’ll just never know. /s

This is in the top 99% of the most horrible thngs I’ve read. Gut-wrenching. We have to make sure in this country that all humans are treated like humans. We have to take care of each other, especially the ill.

If you think getting a conviction for police brutality is tough, that’s nothing compared to a conviction for prison abuse. Prison guards are worse than the mob when it comes to closing ranks and clamming up, and the unions as a rule are not shy about taking political revenge on DAs who come after them, up to and…

This is absolutely horrifying and unacceptable. This type of barbarity cannot just be accepted and it should piss everyone off, because when we imprison people we are doing so in the name of the state, aka all of us. I do not want this kind of shit done in my name and I’m even more fucking angry knowing that our…

There was the very liberal Jimmy Kimmel, not attacking, not ridiculing, not even joking about Tim Allen’s politics - and Tim Allen projects a judgement that wasn’t even suggested. Kimmel was being a perfectly congenial host. So again, where is the perceived persecution? In Tim Allen’s head.

Those mean liberals won’t allow him to work in Hollywood. Oh wait - he’s got a low rated weekly shitcom that ABC inexplicably keeps on their schedule. So what, now, was he bitching about?

To irrelevancy, and beyond!

The Drumpf Ministry of Propaganda is working overtime to keep everyone from focusing on the administration’s tangled web of ties to Russia. Of course Goebbels Conway is on the board of the sham organization giving him the “award”.

The bottle of wine I just drank did more in its life for women than Mike Pence ever will.

I heard today that the number of tourists visiting the US have dropped. Combination of different factors, mostly people don’t feel welcome, they worry how they will be treated, applying for a visa is a pain in the ass and the US is just a less apealing place to visit now

I don’t care if their metrics showed that they do *worse* at school. Why are they even measuring that? How about measuring # of doctor visits or growth charts or just not being fucking hungry all the time!!!!!! How do these people even sleep at night?

It really is the darkest timeline. It’s especially aggravating to me that they use the “poor mouth” excuse to deny necessary and proven-effective government services to the poorest of our citizens. Let’s be clear here. The United States is not poor, and the U.S. Government is not poor.

i think most of us define the cost of human life far differently than the trump administration.

This guy is seriously ok with more kids not having access to FOOD. FOOD!

You really do have to wonder what’s going through their heads. Paul Ryan is currently hitching himself to a healthcare plan that will result in a 15-20% rate hike RIGHT WHEN THE MIDTERM IS HAPPENING, and they’re sending people out daily in front of the press to talk about how meals on wheels and free lunch programs…

Strange that prescription drug abuse is never addressed by these geriatric white men....

Jeff sessions is only slightly less awful than Steve Bannon
