Question reporters should be asking every Republican elected: Your president trusts Putin, praises Putin, is beholden to Putin, and wants to help Putin annex more of Ukraine. What are you going to do about it?

Trump thanked Putin for a few hours’ worth of diesel, then told Ukraine it’s “time to get a new president.” Hours after Russia killed 12 people in Zaporizhzhia, including 3 children. Today’s update:

Trump is a filthy bastard. His collusion with russia amounts to high treason. While Moscow continues to escalate its massacres of Ukrainians, Trump is offering criminals money. It's a strong incentive for the Ukrainians to bomb russian refineries even more—the Europeans must help them decisively.

Zelenskyy: “It would cost the US nothing, absolutely nothing, to help Ukraine. “And I said openly: Help us defend our skies and dominate them. And then Putin will sit down at the negotiating table. “Why? Because he will lose everything. Three months, two months — he will lose everything.”

The severity of punishment has no impact on deterrence, whereas probability of getting caught has high impact. In Britain they made theft a capital crime & pickpockets would steal from crowds gathered to watch hangings. They knew authorities were focused on the condemne. Low probability capture.

Trump has claimed that states are “merely an ‘agent’ for the federal government” and they must do what the president tells them. “Almost nothing in that statement is correct as a matter of law,” Marc Elias says. Keep an eye on the people trying to rewrite the rules: demdock.com/4rSKLdE

They studied public executions in Britain in the 19th century & found that immediately following public executions, there was a noticable deterrent effect, but that it quickly eroded & then reversed, resulting in a net zero impact. So the reality is that there is no positive impact from this at all.

He's such an idiot. Publicly executing people is not a deterrent. There is lots of research on this. Britain stopped the practice in the 1860s not out of any sort of humanitarian concern, but because it didn't work as a deterrent.

It's important to keep in mind that the question wasn't whether you oppose Israel's *response* to the Hamas massacre. It wasn't even about whether you support Palestinian rights etc etc. It simply asked if HAMAS was "justified" in massacring, torturing, burning alive & raping over 1,200 people.

Admitting you fucked up when you got caught lands a whole lot differently than if it was preemptive. It reads as an attempt to avoid social accountability.
