    America is now going to execute a few people. Maybe Trump wants to start a few riots so he can call a state of emergency and cancel the mid terms? Or he’s executing a few black people ( I assume the people to be executed are black) to appease MAGA.

    What a strange post about USA executions – bizarre.

    For the record there have been 16 executions, so far, this year. 10 black, 6 white across 4 states, namely Florida, Texas, Oklahoma and Arizona. Florida leads the way with 9.

    Why would you assume the people to be executed are black? Another bizarre comment.

    “Why would you assume the people to be executed are black? Another bizarre comment.”

    White people make up 74.8% of the American population, but only 37.5% of the executions.
    Black people make up 13.7% of the population, but 62.5% of the executions.

    So black people are executed at a far higher rate than white people, but since when did you let facts get in the way?

    It’s hilarious how your attempt to say this isn’t a race issue does exactly the opposite.

    “Trump has used his second term to resuscitate the federal government’s use of the death penalty. On his first day back in office, he signed an executive order directing the Justice Department to reinstate capital punishment and pursue its use more vigorously, following the Biden administration’s pausing of federal executions”.

    Maybe there’s a disproportionate ratio of serious crimes committed?

    State executions are distinct from Federal executions: the former are relatively common, the latter are, or were, rare

    In July 2020, the first federal execution under the presidency of Donald Trump was carried out, the first after a 17-year hiatus. Overall, thirteen federal prisoners were executed between July 2020 and January 2021, including Lisa Montgomery, the first woman executed by the federal government in 67 years.

    President Trump oversaw more federal executions than any president in the preceding 120 years

    Maybe there is, maybe there isn’t. Until some evidence is provided, we don’t know. Who’s assuming things now?

    Trump has now taken to criticising Netanyahu’s tactics; it’s obvious that the US president knows that the vast majority of the American public do not side with the Zionists.

    The next step, of course, would be for Trump to announce that all US backing of Israel (intelligence, munitions, money, etc) is going to end. Fat chance, though.

    All these right wing figures end up falling out in the end.

    I see that, to the surprise of nobody, evidence regarding crimes disproportionately being committed by black people never arrived.

    And yet some Americans still think Trump is a tactical genius many moves ahead of the opposition on the political chess board ….

    I actually agreed with the orange buffoon on something he said yesterday: Israel wouldn’t exist without the US.

    Broken clocks and all that. He probably thinks every country wouldn’t exist without the US.

    This is the key.

    Trump has spent billions of US taxpayers’ money and driven the whole world into financial strain purely to get a worse deal than was already in place… and all because he couldn’t say no to Netanyahu

    The man is a total imbecile.
