Pete Hegseth wants to turn the Fort Hood mass shooter's execution into a public spectacle, complete with a livestream. Lt. Gen. @markhertling.bsky.social and @samsteindc.bsky.social react: "This is depravity, and it's not something we should be doing or leaders in the army should be allowing."

Filming and releasing video of an execution is more common with terror groups like the Islamic State, which became infamous for videos of gruesome executions of prisoners who were not given due process or convicted of crimes. And mass shooters have livestreamed their killing sprees. Now it's us.

Is it courage or is it ethics, a never failing moral compass, integrity and honesty? All qualities that are absent in the current POTUS, his Administration and blind followers.

If Donald Trump, with his record of corruption and law-breaking, is not impeached, we might as well strike impeachment provisions from the Constitution. He is the reason they exist and must be implemented.

When the ISIS video of a beheading was shared worldwide, disgust/condemnation followed. Who would believe that the U.S. would EVER join that club by airing the execution of Hassan by firing squad? Can the Felon/his administration bring the U.S. any lower? ICE murders/kidnappings is already too much.

Fort Hood shooter’s execution will be live-streamed, Defense Dept. says
“We’ll make sure that people are able to watch it,” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Thursday about the firing squad execution of convicted Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan.

Great piece by Lisa Needham for Aaron Rupar’s Public Notice: Trump meme coin investors, including rich foreigners, have lost $3.81 billion but gained an opportunity to bribe the president of the United States. It’s mindblowingly corrupt.

Pete Hegseth probably thinks it's macho for him to obsess about testosterone levels and order an execution to be livestreamed to the public. But it really screams male insecurity and desperation. He is one sick individual.

“Pretend I’m on the ballot,” Trump says. He is, along with: An illegal war, high gas prices, ICE’s street murders, measles, crypto scams, explosive diarrhea after food safety cutbacks, concentration camps and pardons for cop beaters. When you vote for Republicans, you’re voting for all of that.

Trump’s past 24 hours of desperation:

— posts Sen. Tom Cotton’s cellphone number and tells people to call him over daylight saving time
— again tries to scam voters with fraudulent promises $5,000 checks to every adult citizen if Republicans win the House and Senate
— says if Democrats win it will be “a 1929 disaster” and an economic depression, essentially admitting he believes his term will lead to a Great Depression
— tells a Mobile, Alabama rally to close their eyes and “pretend I’m on the ballot”
— says he’s giving $100 checks to 20 million seniors
