Trump Is Racing to Bring Back Firing-Squad Executions
Read Time:52 Second

There have been many predictions—from instigating nuclear war to pardoning Joe Exotic—about what President Donald Trump might do during his final months in office, but it’s fair to say few people guessed this.
According to a report from ProPublica, Trump is trying to rush through a proposed regulation that could see federal executions being carried out by firing squads again. The proposed rule cleared White House review on Nov. 6, according to the report, so it could be finalized any day. However, the archaic method may never be used—all five scheduled federal executions are expected to be carried out with lethal injection, and President-elect Joe Biden opposes the death penalty.
Elsewhere in the report, it’s stated that Trump is also trying to push through a regulation that would exclude transgender people from federally funded homeless shelters and loosen water-saving standards on showerheads—a personal grievance the president has frequently railed about to rally crowds.

There are arguments as to which is more painful and which is quicker, but I’m not a perfect man. They don’t make halos that fit me. One video clip that will stick with me to the end is the one of Romanian president Nicolae Ceaușescu and his wife, begging and pleading as they were ripped apart by automatic weapons.
I remember that, as well as the one when they captured Ghaddafi hiding in a sewer pipe and one of the rebels stuck him in the ass with his knife, multiple times. They then shot him, although that was off-camera. The worst I think was the one where ISIS had captured an enemy pilot, put him in a cage, covered him with jet fuel, and then set him on fire by way of the fire trail. Poor bastard had to watch the flames creeping closer and finally reaching him. He was screaming and swatting at the flames but to no avail. Never forget it.
Well what could possibly go wrong with this.
