Former President Donald Trump had been widely discussing with “close associates” ahead of his 2024 presidential campaign bringing back the death penalty, expanding the execution methods used by the federal government, and even broadcasting executions as a means to deter violent crime and drug dealers, Rolling Stone reported on Tuesday, citing multiple sources close to Trump.
Rolling Stone’s Asawin Suebsaeng and Patrick Reis write that Trump has been regularly asking those around him, “What do you think of firing squads?”
The article adds that “Trump has talked about bringing back death by firing squad, by hanging, and, according to two of the sources, possibly even by guillotine. He has also, sources say, discussed group executions. Trump has floated these ideas while discussing planned campaign rhetoric and policy desires, as well as his disdain for President Biden’s approach to crime.”
“He has even, one of the sources recounts, mused about televising footage of executions, including showing condemned prisoners in the final moments of their lives,” noted the article.

Fine with me, if that is an official plank in his campaign, I’ll vote early and often.

Of course these are only pretend journalists, but that only means they’re not as good at lying as the real ones.
Me too. Along with governors and mayors of sanctuary states and towns.
Yup... good old sparky.
Love it!
Sharks gotta eat.
Why don’t we just go back to pitchforks and burn any “witches” at the stake. Heaving sarcasm.
If this is true and if Trump wins and he does implement this………
Trump will be President for only 4 years.
Who will be President after him??
Newsom perhaps? Whitmer?
The Left will take this type of program and use it against us.
There will be executions of Conservatives (Insurrectionist) daily.
This would be a bad idea and open a Pandora’s box.
Actually the normative Biblical means of CP was communal stoning, befitting the crime being against more than one person, but the community, and which helps all to realize how serious such an offense it, and have a better sense of justice.
Blood lust is not a good look for a civil society.
Yep. Media doing their typical lying again.....
Great idea. BLM and Antifa would fade away if this returned.
I have often thought about the pay-per-view idea, too. I’d rather the proceeds go to the families of the victims.
Mediaite therefore bullshit.
But killing duly convicted murderers is a good idea. I’m in favor of nitrogen asphyxiation as a method, but I’m not picky.
That could work too.
We don't have a civil society. We have a race war.
DeSantis Derangement Syndrome rears its ugly head ...
Televised public dismemberment should provide more entertainment value.
