Millions can’t afford rent, but at least the government is making snuff films.
So not only will they turn this guy into a martyr, but the first US military execution in many decades will be firing rifles at a guy bound to a wheelchair.
If this doesn’t cause widespread retribution by religious fanatics/suicide bombers, I’ll be very surprised.

I would be shocked if that wasn’t the point. Governments have a long history of stoking those with a “radical” agenda in the name of having a bogeyman. See Indian Removal, Pearl Harbor and Japanese Internment, the Crack “Epidemic”, October 6th, etc…

literally the definition of ghoulish behavior. ghoulish adjective ghoul·ish
: relating to, dealing with, or morbidly delighting in things considered shocking or gruesome
Of course it’s barbaric but why do those idiots think it will be good PR for them? Did anyone ever see a firing squad execution that made the victim look like a bad guy? Hollywood brainwashed a lot of people into thinking that electric chair is how the bad guys die but firing squads in popular culture are used kill the innocent in the most cowardly way. From Paths of Glory to The Wind That Shakes the Barley firing squad is always shown as the way the oppressor kills people. It will not make them look though, it will make them look evil. What are they going to do next? Crucify Mamdani?
This administration is using fear and intimidation as daily tactics. The PR goal is keeping people cowered and isolated. Unchecked, they would have people impaled on the white house lawn. They value the brutality.
6 daysThis is the truth. They live for the pure brutality of imposing their will and the indecency of it all. These assholes have no conscience and no thought except for the betterment of themselves. These assholes are also in complete control of everything right now and I hope enough people wake up. I doubt it… But you gotta have a little hope. Besides I’m old and it’s no longer my watch.
Also, almost forgot, all this violence and chaos sets up the use of trauma based programing. Mkay?
These dopes believe their own propaganda, and honestly believe that most of America supports them, and are as horned-up to see a live execution as they are. Who wouldn’t want to see THAT? It’s wicked awesome! They’ll watch it, and love it, you’ll see, and then they’ll all vote for MAGA.

Like any fascist, they relish the opportunity to get away with being morally awful in public.

It’s a loyalty test. If you don’t support this you’re not a true believer.

There’s this picture of a Serbian anarchist right before he’s shot. He has the most genuine smile on his face. I think about him all the time.

If it’s anything more than a campaign of fear, hubris, or a fascist dog whistle (tornado siren), then it’s probably meant to be a trigger or signal for the most aggressive supporters with the least common sense.
The ones who believe that it’s wrong to curse on TV, unless their favorite president is saying it. The ones who will watch a shitty comedian and then repeat an offensive joke, claiming it’s ok to repeat it because someone famous said it. The ones who get secretly turned on thinking about their own guns and using them against their neighbors with the campaign sign for their candidate’s opponent. The ones who are scared to pull the trigger because the police might get confused arrest them when they’re actually the good guy; but the police will understand when they see the president executing an enemy of the state.
And enemies of the state come in various flavors, all defined by the president’s social media: people who don’t automatically love the smartest and most peaceful president of all time, people who complain about gas prices, people who complain about grocery prices, people who don’t say “Super Intelligence,” people who have shared JD Vance memes, people who said anything negative about Charlie Kirk after he died.
Even in my most pessimistic thoughts, this isn’t meant to be an immediate catalyst; just a reasonable enough way to further dehumanize criminals and erode our country’s compassion. Just another step before publicly executing enemies of the state and then political opponents. And then calling on the J6er types to do their part and prevent their neighbors from “illegally” trying to vote for the opposition, who will probably be defined as terrorists.

Will Dennis Miller call the play-by-play? With Dog The Bounty Hunter making technical comments? Opening prayer by Joel Oafsteen, and a very special musical performance by Who-the-fuck-is-Lee Greenwood?

It’s the fascist slide: every day a new outrage, then by the next day it’s normalized. Everyone thinking “surely this time someone will do something to stop them.”
So Hegseth wants to play YouTube, but the war effort is completely fucked?
What a dumb pedophile goon

unrelated but how the fuck have you been remembering your username for over a year
back on topic:
“dumb pedophile goon” are accurate descriptions of Hegseth, but I’m struggling to find a label that fits the psychopathy of live streaming an execution
Who tf does that
Neo-nazis, ISIS and maybe the IDF
LiveLeak is back and it has a .gov tld

A password manager is a wonderful thing.
- 5 days
Look bud, I have one manager and it’s already too much
they’re always “deadlines this” and “serious conduct violations that”
I can keep records of my passwords by myself just fine. I use KeePassXC. I used to use an encrypted spreadsheet, but I forgot the decryption phrase after two long weekends doing heroin and bath salts with RFK jr as a minor
Unless you have some recommendations?

LOL, I’m just saying that a password manager is my best guess at how the guy with the weird username remembers it.
My recommendation is for RFK Jr. to lay off the bath salts but up the dose on the heroin.

It will unfortunately have an audience. Look at how many people not only watch, but seek out disturbing video of all sorts of things. As long as it’s someone they don’t know, it’s another car wreck, live on TV, and they’ll slow down to see if they can see something.
I hope I’m wrong and there’s lots of outrage.

Terrorising US troops during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars is a good thing.
Hasan exited the SRP building and headed for an auditorium to find more targets, but upon opening the auditorium door, he found a graduation ceremony going on inside. He could not distinguish between soldiers and civilians because of the graduation gowns, so he left and headed back towards the SRP building.
literally more of a moral compass than most US troops. Certainly higher than people like Graham Plattner.

That doesn’t excuse killing a pregnant woman. He outright admitted he was doing it in support of the Taliban as well.
Just a bunch of losers who never did anything “manly” in their lives like go kill a bunch of Middle-easterners so instead they watched a bunch of Ogrish and Liveleak and deamt about how they would have killed everyone with brown skin and jerked off to Apache helicopters firing missiles into crowds of people visible on thermal imaging have decided that they will vicariously pull the trigger executing a Muslim on their personal Liveleak stream so they can tell each other what badasses they are.
(Just in case it isn’t obvoious the “manly” killing is deeply derisive and sarcastic. They’re fail-upwards macho men that wished they’d gunned down the “enemy”. Arpaio, John Wayne, Nugent, et al. but spent their lives making stories up about themselves)

No, you’re not wrong. As a man, a lot of men have extremely fragile ego. They bully because they want to feel power.
These DumB Animals always forget that this shit cuts both ways. One day it will be MAGAs sobbing like a babies, as they faces their firing squads, with the world watching.
I’d love to see Hegseth just frog-marched off to prison for life.

The squad has tobe made up of volunteers … right. I would refuse if I was a soldier. In fact I would take reasonable punishment for it. If the risk is to join them in the squad I’m using all resources to get away. The people who execute this man should be tried. Thus isnt a service to their country. It’s just a satisfaction of bloodlust.
