More death penalty
Trump plans to kill more people.
President Donald Trump will roll out new plans to tackle the country’s opioid epidemic on Monday in New Hampshire, the White House said Sunday. The plan will include stiffer penalties for high-intensity drug traffickers, including the death penalty for some dealers, Andrew Bremberg, director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, told reporters Sunday.
The concept of the death penalty for certain drug traffickers is something Trump has been outspoken about, but this will be the first time it will be part of an official administration plan.
“The Department of Justice will seek the death penalty against drug traffickers when it’s appropriate under current law,” Bremberg told reporters during a phone call Sunday evening.
rump called for the death penalty to drug dealers earlier this month at a rally in Pennsylvania. His plan is expected to focus on sentencing reforms for drug dealers that would stiffen penalties for high-intensity drug dealers while “other people languishing in prison for these low-level drug crimes,” a senior administration official said.
“The President thinks that the punishment doesn’t fit the crime,” the official said, adding that these penalties would be for dealers who bring large quantities of opioids — particular fentanyl — into the United States, not the people that are “are growing pot in the backyard or a friend who has a low-level possession crime.
“His plan will address, and he will address, the stiffening of penalties for the people who are bringing the poison into our communities,” the official added.
The stiffening – geddit? They’ll be stiffs. If you kill people you turn them into stiffs. He’s such a joker.
On Sunday’s call with reporters, administration officials would not get into specifics on Trump’s death penalty proposal and referred all questions to the Department of Justice. When asked if the death penalty would be an appropriate punishment for some traffickers, a senior administration official again referred the question to the department but said capital punishment would be fitting in some instances.
The official said the death penalty proposal would be something the Justice Department will be “examining to move ahead with to make sure that’s done appropriately” and not wait for Congress to propose possible legislation on the matter.
Yes let’s hurry up and kill people.
Can you tell how badly he wants to be President Putin? To settle once and for all quien es mas macho?
Trump is in phropecy! Phropecy I tell you…! Phropecy!
“For his evangelical supporters, there’s a sense that Trump’s unlikely election to the presidency proves that he has been chosen by God,” Young told Newsweek. “He shouldn’t have won the election, so the thinking goes, so the fact that he did—and that victory came only via the Electoral College, no less—just demonstrates that only God could make it happen.”
It’s all there in Daniel 9!
Phropecy!!!

Trump is aware* that the majority of states have abolished the death penalty, isn’t he? I suppose he thinks that he can just command them all to reinstate capital punishment, but can he really?
*or whatever passes for awareness in the vacuum of Trump’s head.p
I could get behind this. Lets start with tobacco executives and booze pedlars.
Do they sell booze and fags in Walmart?
I got hung up on this bit:
While “other people”… what? Would be let go? Stuck into probation? Be left to rot int heir cells?
‘…high-intensity drug dealers’
In a plague of prescription drug abuse, who is he talking about?
Billions of doses are produced on one end….and consumed by addicts at the other. No one seems to want to know what happens in between.
Cigarettes, yes, I imagine they probably do (though I avoid WalMart like the plague, the fondness of the non-landed non-gentry around here suggests they have a bit of everything). Liquor laws vary from state to state. I was shocked when I came to Nebraska to see hard liquor sold in grocery stores, because in Oklahoma where I come from, nothing stronger than 3.2 beer can be sold in grocery stores; hard liquor needed a separate store. So it depends on what you count as “booze”. I find the 3.2 beer to be very risky, myself, because so many people think you can’t actually get drunk on it, even though you certainly can.
Thanks for starting my week with a migraine ;)
You must accept at least some of the blame for this panel…
