The actions of the cheeto-king's government ministers are making me reconsider my opposition to the death penalty.
If - and to me it is a big "if" - the US can recover from our present era of facism - we will need something akin to what was called "De-Baathification" in Iraq, "Denazification" in post WW-II Germany, etc. Under those programs some people were executed after being found guilty at trials.
The ministers of our present government - particularly Miller and Noem - are engaged in what are crimes against humanity. The governor of Texas is not far behind. As as result of these crimes real, innocent people (including children) have suffered real harms and some have died.
When, and if, our nation's integrity and principles are restored, how far ought we to go with our punishments?
