William Barr’s Lame-Duck Execution Spree Is Unprecedented. With these plans, the administration not only thumbs its nose at precedent, it also reveals yet again its true character.

Last week, the Trump administration announced that it would continue to carry out executions in the days and weeks leading up to the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden, with the last one now scheduled just five days before Biden takes office on Jan. 20, 2021. This bloodthirsty decision is another and particularly grotesque way in which President Donald Trump and his Justice Department are defying the norms and conventions for modern presidential transitions.

The Death Penalty Information Center reports that the last time an outgoing administration did anything remotely similar was more than a century ago, in 1889. At that time Grover Cleveland, the first Democrat to be elected president after the Civil War and the only president ever to have served as an executioner (when he was the sheriff in Erie County, New York), permitted three executions to proceed in the period between his electoral defeat and Benjamin Harrison’s inauguration in March 1889.

Since then, every outgoing administration has halted the federal death penalty during the transition period. Trump and Attorney General William Barr are not merely failing to engage in a merciful pause: They are rushing to execute persons who might be spared by a new administration.

Indeed, the Biden administration intends to try to abolish the federal death penalty and provide incentives for states to abolish it as well. A spokesperson reaffirmed this intention on Saturday: “The president-elect opposes the death penalty, now and in the future, and as president will work to end its use.”

It will be the first time that the federal government ends up carrying out more executions (10) in a single year than are carried out in all the states which retain capital punishment (8). Those 10 executions would be the most carried out by the federal government since 1896, when Cleveland’s second administration put 16 people to death.

From 1995 to 2000, 42 percent of the 183 federal death cases submitted to the attorney general for review came from just five of the 94 federal districts. And federal death verdicts, like those in the states, are concentrated in states that were claimed by the former Confederacy. Three of them—Texas, Missouri, and Virginia—account for 40 percent of the total.

These guys - and their ilk around the globe - believe they have their own country. One with its own laws and rights, completely unrelated to any geographical or sentimental boundaries. "We do as we please - loyalty or die." He's just in America now because the grifts are easier.

Another day, another body count for the fwad in the White House. Now he is publicly encouraging people to gather in groups for Thanksgiving. People will die because they will take his advice. I just hope they're all Trumptards.

^ Have fun when Biden re-installs all of the gross warhawk neocon/neolibs that GWB operated with buddy.

You asked for it. You got it.

Climate ‘apocalypse’ fears stopping people having children

Further research was needed on a more diverse group of people and in other parts of the world. The self-selecting group in the study all lived in the US and were largely white, more highly educated and liberal. (And probably Democrats.)

Opinion polls of the general public indicated people were connecting the climate crisis and reproduction, with one poll in 2020 finding that among 18- to 44-year-old US citizens without children, 14% cited climate change as a “major reason” for not having children.

Where the fuck did that come from?

The far left has made outrageous claims just as the far right. I see both as being a problem.




The people who think 9/11 may have been an 'inside job

You think Antifa is some kind of organized group with a list of things they all believe?

You have a lot to learn.

Correlation is not Causation.

You could list off literally 1,000 different reasons why college "educated" white kids aren't having children.



Now if we could only find a way to equally damage the brains of every ethnicity across the planet into not having kids, we might finally have a winner on our hands for how to solve the overpopulation problem that nobody ever wants to talk about.
