Executions, even when done in the public square, has never deterred the criminal behavior that warranted it. And Live streaming for all the world to see gives exactly what Hassan and the Taliban wants. Turning him into a martyr and fueling their “great satan” propaganda machine.

We all know what’s going to happen. The next Democratic president will spend literally his or her entire first term trying to undo the damage done by Trump and his minions. Over those next four years, Republicans will complain that prices are high and that the Democrats have made a mess of things.

The memo did not stop Alito from lying to the late Senator Edward Kennedy, whose diary revealed that, while meeting privately in Kennedy's office, Alito assured him that he would never vote to overturn Roe. Unlike Republican Senator Susan Collins, who believed the same lie from Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett, Kennedy was not gullible enough to vote in favor of Alito's confirmation.

The same people that talk about 'protecting' girls in sports and restrooms are dead silent on the Cornell 7. Trump the rapist takes it a step further and condemns AG Letitia James for daring to seek justice for the victim. Just another classic example of conservative gaslighting.

For someone who championed prosecuting domestic violence and elder abuse cases when she was Westchester County DA, I mean she actually exhibited a brain & some integrity then. Pirro definitely lost more than her race against Andrew Cuomo for AG. That’s when she apparently had an early MAGA lobotomy🤪
