@markjacob.bsky.socialReposted by @swin24.bsky.socialI hate it when US officials refer to warfare, includng the deaths of thousands of noncombatants, as "kinetic engagement." Euphemism is the weapon of charlatans.

@swin24.bsky.socialMost of the most pro death penalty people in the country simply weren’t clamoring for this
@swin24.bsky.socialAnother terrible thing about the public livestream execution thing is that nobody was asking for it. It’s just being done to satisfy Trump’s far reaching bloodlust
@swin24.bsky.social… “do u remember Donald Trump’s killing spree”, a perfectly appropriate response to that from any normal person would be: you gotta be more specific And it’s a testament to the horror of trump 2.0 that somehow term 2 is not just generally worse but markedly so
@swin24.bsky.socialIt’s not your fault tbh, he did a lot of it while he was actively trying to steal an election in an effort that culminated in a deadly assault on the capitol and also while everything was by destroyed by Covid, it is a testament to the abattoir nature of the first trump presidency that if u say…
