Oh, wait…hmmm… Unfortunately, he knows this will resonate not only with his base, but with a much larger audience in this country than just that. ---

We’re talking about the type of criminals who blow themselves up, or keep killing until they get gunned down in a hail of police bullets. I’m straining to think of exactly what changes you could make in a justice system that would deter such a person from committing the offense in the first place. Faster trials? Longer sentences? Worse prison meals? ---

Stop straining to make sense of what President FuckingMoron says because he doesn’t say things that make sense. He says things for the consumption of those who don’t have working brains. ---

> [@John\_Mace](#): > > Trump is already calling for the death penalty in the NYC truck-killing case. I know this is just SOP for him, nothing out of the “ordinary”, but it so disgraceful for a president to fuck with the judicial system like this. When will our time of national shame finally be over??? Since they\* want\* to die, shouldn’t he be calling for life in prison if he really wants to deter them? Trump is soft on terrorists, giving them exactly what they want. Sad. ---

I’m straining to think of exactly what changes you could make in a justice system that would deter such a person from committing the offense in the first place. Faster trials? Longer sentences? Worse prison meals? I believe the correct answer here is to kill everyone who speaks kindly of them and to possibly torture any close relations. ---

Oh no, Trump isn’t crazy, and he’s got a lot of smart people advising him. :eek: Well, that’s what I was hoping when he was elected, that he would hire smart people actually qualified for the jobs they are put in, and maybe listen to them.

> [@Euphonious\_Polemic](#): > > Why on earth would anyone have thought that? What evidence existed that Trump was even remotely able to discern a competent person from a lickspittle sycophant? To be entirely fair to the poor sods who didn’t instantly assume the worst/truth, during his campaign he managed to hire people who were able to competently shuttle him from place to place and get him onto podiums. His campaign was run _much_ more competently than his administration, as evinced by the fact his tour bus didn’t immediately crash into a telephone pole and explode the second it pulled away from Trump Tower. Nobody could predict that upon taking the presidency he would 1) immediately abandon everything but hiring donors, and 2) immediately succumb to the stress of the job and become completely senile. ---

Yeah and now Donna Brazile has basically fed the GOP a new Crooked Hillary conspiracy angle. Not sure what HRC did to piss off the Donna but boy did she ever do it this time. It’s funny to reflect on all of the talk of the Republican party’s circular firing squad because the Democrats seem to be determined to form one before the GOP does. As I’ve said, centrism is dying. It’s going to be replaced by competition of the extremists in a survival-of-the-fittest, winner-take-all political cockfight.
