The Trump administration vows to seek the death penalty “whenever possible.” But federal cases move slowly, and few result in a death sentence at all.

    I don’t even understand in what world they think it would be a good idea to martyr a guy who has a higher approval rating than either party or any branch of government.

    Who owns the Intercept?

    Pierre Morad Omidyar (born Parviz Morad Omidyar, June 21, 1967) is a French-born Iranian-American billionaire.

    Ahhh ok makes sense why this “news article” is assuming guilt and a death penalty ruling of a defendant that doesn’t even match the description of the assassin

    Honestly, a candidate could win in a landslide if they made “giving Luigi a full pardon” one of their campaign planks.

    At the Bernie+AOC rally in SLC yesterday the cheers when a speaker mentioned how bad United HC is were some of the loudest of the night. Was clear that a majority were cheering for Luigi.

    Trump is a fucking moron to be executing people. Don’t most people realize that since 1963 and before Trump came to office the US Federal government only executed 3 people? One of which was Timothy McVeigh? (Even he should not have been executed. He is a valuable source of information on how white supremacists radicalized people who don’t even view themselves as white supremacists).

    Trump executed more people in his final 6 months in office than any other president. Even FDR, a president who served 3 full terms before dying early in his 4th didn’t have that speed of execution. FDR did execute more people, but over half of them were Nazi saboteurs during ww2.

    Trump just wants to feel powerful by signing death warrants.
