A conservative plan for Donald Trump’s potential transition into the presidency calls for dozens of prisoners to be executed, according to HuffPost. An 887-page plan by Project 2025, led by the ultra-conservative Heritage Foundation, says that if elected, Trump should make a concerted effort to execute the remaining 40 prisoners on death row. The section’s author, attorney Gene Hamilton, advised that Trump “do everything possible to obtain finality” on the current list of people until Congress forces them to stop. Hamilton is the vice president of America Legal First, a group of former Trump lawyers bent on attacking “woke” companies, headed by Stephen Miller. Trump’s approach to the death penalty stands in stark contrast to that of President Joe Biden, who has openly opposed the death penalty, but done little to move forward legislation to reform or abolish the practice since entering office.
For those of you not in the know Project 2025 is Republicans plan to turn the USA into an authoritarian state.
So, it’s saying his words stand in contrast. His actions, on the other hand, seem to say very little.
Perfunctory reminder that presidents are not kings. Congress passes legislation.
Good luck getting the American people to grasp the concept.

Neat, haven’t heard that word before
Tell that to the Supreme Court.

Which equates to 535 kings ruling over 300 million serfs.
Or are they all just sockpuppets for one hidden king?
Smell the democracy!
It’s fun to say. It sounds like it should be a type of hedgehog fart or something. I like complicated words for totally ordinary things.
…you realize that still doesn’t speak well to the Democrats ability to organize and pass legislation? The republicans are the threat that they are because Democrats leave this shit on the table. It’s like abortion; there have been several occasions in 21st century where the Democrats had the legislature and the presidency, yet it still comes down to 9 unelected elders. They even had a month’s forewarning of the Dobbs decision, yet no legislative fix! They didn’t even try!
Wow, you managed to completely ignore mountain of misdeeds by conservatives to then blame dems for what conservatives have done over and over again. Not only that, you’ve conflated the death penalty and abortion along with general shit-talking of democrats, mostly baseless Fox News talking points…
But what really speaks shit about conservatives it how they’re constantly tearing down our democracy and then trying to blame democrats for it— just like you are here. The problem for you is: we’re not as stupid as you think we are.
Are you a bot or just a paid shill?
I’m not saying conservatives are good, I’m saying democrats are not very serious about opposing them.
Are you a child, or have you only recently started paying attention to yankee politics?
You’re spreading GOP disinformation and talking points, and you’re not fooling anyone.
It’s 2024, not 1864, Lmao
christ it’s like i’m talking to 2016.
is it nice? moving through time without noticing or remembering it’s passing? As static as a simpsons character?
If you don’t like that your bs isn’t tolerated here, leave.
Throwing tantrums won’t change that.
How is any of what I’ve been saying “GOP talking points”? Do the conservatives in your life pay nearly this close attention to what the democrats do? Because all the conservatives I know are freaking out over Facebook stories of kitty litter in classrooms or Heather Has Two Mommies being available at the local library.
If your reaction to criticisms of the DNC is to immediately assume i’m some spooky agent provocateur, then you’re approach to politics is just as mindless as the Facebook conservatives.
Ok bye!
“Dems are bad at protecting abortion because the law on the books was overturned by a corrupt Repub SCOTUS. That’s why we have to deter Dem votes, so we can have an even more corrupt SCOTUS.”
Do you think about what you are typing at all, or is this like a copy/paste from some sort of propaganda and disinformation Discord group?
You seem to misunderstand the Dobbs decision. There was no law in the books, abortion was set by the decision of a previous supreme court ruling, Roe V Wade. Dobbs over-rulled that ruling – if there had been an actual law, passed at any point in time the legislature, there would have been nothing the supreme court could do.
A month before the Dobbs ruling and until the following November, the Democrats had the house, senate, and presidency. If they had passed a law enshrining abortion as a right, then all court rulings would become moot.
And… the supreme court is already a captured body for the republicans. Too late. There is going to be a republican in office either next year or in another four. That’s just how US presidencies go – no party holds the wing for very long. Pearl clutching about the makeup of the court is a little late at this point.
