He’d better do it. Since 1976, 16 people have been executed by the federal government. 13 of those happened when Trump was last president. Once Trump realized that he could legally have people killed he put federal executions into high gear. I have no doubt that when he take office again, he’ll again start pushing to execute everyone on death row and then get more people added.
As a Catholic, you’d think there would not be much to weigh?
Biden is, once again, considering doing something. He won’t, but he’s thinking about it, and really isn’t it the thought that counts?
Fact is that Canada, the UK, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, and Australia have abolished the death penalty.
China, Iran, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, and Syria (under Assad) use the death penalty.
Choose your group.
I don‘t care what a politician weighs or considers, I am interested in what he does
I kept following this situation wondering “why???” And really was not expecting this detail
The move came after Biden, a lifelong Catholic, spoke with Pope Francis Thursday. In his weekly prayer, Pope Francis asked for the commutation of America’s condemned inmates.
Huh. At least I know how we got into this situation now… :/
Why is the leader of the secular United States of America so frequently using religion as a fucking guiding force.
Add this to the bonkers situation where half your population are treating the incoming leader as a god emperor.
What century are you lot living in
I don’t love either of those things, but hey, if Biden is going to use fairy tales as the foundation to do something good, I’ll take the W.
Thankfully, even with donvict’s win, I see that my country is trending less and less xtian and if I thought their god Jehovah/Allah/Yahweh/Elohim had anything to do with that, I’d thank he/she/it/them. I’d love to see the day when politicians do NOT wear their xtianity on their fucking sleeve; they do as their character Yeshua said in their fan fiction and keep their little book club in the closet, and finally this country would live up to being the secular nation it was actually founded as.
Right now, though, the religious “nones”, including agnostics and atheists, are probably some of the most ignored, even though they constitute a huge amount of people.
world leader uses religion for good
Why would anyone do this?
Biden throughout his entire career as a politician has stated that he is Catholic and follows Catholicism to the tee even at work and has made his views on everything else very clear
yet he still got elected as vice president with Obama twice and then voted in once for president
and the Democrats had Walz that teamed up with Trump to stop the oil 3 pipeline protesters as vice for Harris who catered to celebrities and republicans
we are in the current century here, but not all the citizens vote or are allowed to vote and would wager that the results would have looked entirely different if most citizens were to vote/ able to vote
Commute Trump’s would-be assassins. Send a message.
Abolish capital punishment!
