Yeah, the definition of “torture” has been considerably eroded since Guy Fawkes’ time. Nowadays, serving arugula on an unchilled salad plate is considered torture by — ironically (and hypocritically) — people who routinely behead children and flay the flesh off living victims.
We have no apologies to make to these wretches. Nothing we could do to them compares to what they do in the course of a normal day.
The “ultimate torture” is living in a society where any LIBs/DIMs/RINOs are allowed to assume positions of authority or responsibility. That is aptly described as “living Hell”.
