the timing - displaying his *godlike* characteristics... his will over life or death. if you don't see the real picture here, then you're not thinking critically enough on trumps vanity and ego.
I see what you're saying.

Personally, I have no issues with the death penalty.

If you have someone in prison for appalling crimes and will never be released, what's the point of keeping them? They are of no use to anyone, and are just a drain on the public purse

I don't care about the optics, it should have been done a long time ago. Of course though the Left on Twitter are outraged... what a suprise. They'll fight for abortion rights but oppose a death penalty. They guy was a monster but politically he's a St.

Strip it back and take politics out of the question and I don't believe anyone would have a problem with this guys death, especially if it were a member of their family that he had killed.

The defence on Twatter is that he didn't kill anyone, it was his mate. I read one flipping article that Jimbit posted to know that isn't the case. The woman was still alive when he set the car on fire. I suppose this is one of those times where reality doesn't matter though.

I hate how everyone has started to treat everything as a political meal. That belly has to burst at some point.

The Guilford Four and Birmingham Six were sent to prison for appalling crimes, never to be released. :)

I'd be interested in hearing anyone's views on why Biden:s still backable when market settlement could be imminent, except from people who still think Trump's going to win, Biden's going to jail, they'll be a military coup reinstating Trump, etc. ;)

Might have something to do with the conspiracy guys though. They're calling this weekend the "suicide weekend" because they believe this is the last chance for the creatures of the swamp to come forward before they get taken out. I shit you not & they could be betting on it, there is enough of them.

What i think it is more likely to be though is the last drops of hope that Sidney Powell will deliver a win... I think that, as far as I'm aware is the only case that hasn't yet been thrown out.

Forget it. It's over. Trump has lost. The Supreme Court have thrown out his long-shot.
The guy is a 24 carat dick. He's polarized US society and politics and for no other reason than his own vanity.
We've witnessed a disgraceful misuse of the judicial process.
Thankfully, common sense and decency has prevailed. He can now sod off back to being a ridiculous TV personality.

Biden's drifted a tick. Some people know things we don't - perhaps the US military are laying him with a plan up their sleeve. :o

Forget what? It was an observation, not a belief!

Sorry, couldn't resist the opportunity to gloat. But references to Sidney Powell get my gander up. She represents a side of the US that makes me gag. Despicable use of law.

I think a lot of people feel the same as you about Sidney. On the flip side a lot of people have now pinned their hopes on her & maybe they've hoped so much that they're now at the stage of belief and are putting their money on it. We are a few hours away now from it being confirmed and the market being over. Probably a little while longer for the conspiracies though.
