Would the American people fail to understand that the death penalty has been carried out if the execution of the criminal weren’t live-streamed? Of course not. The cruel spectacle is the point. Today's Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and @joshuatait.bsky.social:

I opine that Russell Vought is a lot more than reasonably intelligent. But obviously intelligence doesn’t coincide with moral values. His vision for America is draconian as hell. He is the most likely the influential person in Govnt. Why? He has a 1000 page outline for restructuring America.

One of the top influences on Trump. Dangerous dude. Project 2025 co-architect, Russell Vought who is the OMB Director, is said to be reallocating funds in ways that bypasses Congress’ approval. He’s also the ex-CEO of an organization which is a part of the Heritage Foundation.

Yep. It infuriates me that vile Vought - the architect of Project 25’s policy program for Trump 2.0 - is so unknown by the general public; (I understand this invisibility is intentional.) Russ Vought is working behind the scenes to implement the Heritage Foundation’s Christian Nationalist agenda

This shows just how extreme the US is. Livestreaming an execution by firing squad is the behaviour of a bloodthirsty dictator. Yet the Albanese Government is tying us closer and closer to the Trump regime.
