Trump, in an executive order: “The Government’s most solemn responsibility is to protect its citizens from abhorrent acts, and my Administration will not tolerate efforts to stymie and eviscerate the laws that authorize capital punishment against those who commit horrible acts of violence against American citizens.”
Abhorrent acts like denying over 1/4 of healthcare coverage claims? Abhorrent acts like demanding surgeons scrub out and immediately call back the insurer to justify the surgery that they were in the middle of performing?
The other side of that coin is that capital punishment doesn’t protect anyone from anything. In fact, it puts us all in more danger for a variety or reasons, including:
The State can kill you with impunity if so desired
Where capital punishment exists, people who commit crimes are more likely to escalate to more heinous acts in order to evade capture
capital punishment is only there to satiate conservative voters in the countries, they love this. otherwise the states wouldve all eliminated them already.
And this indirect effect, even when the person sentenced to death is undeniably guilty:
Opportunity cost. The legal process of appeals that goes on before a convicted person is actually executed is more costly than life imprisonment. The money spent on that process is not spent on constructive public good.
By his own decree his 2020 administration should be facing capitol punishment for acts of federal agents in Portland and other cities during peaceful protests over unrest at the time.
Trump wasn’t talking about Luigi, his act was about supplying lethal injection drugs to states with pending executions. Luigi hasn’t received any sentencing.
President Donald Trump ordered the attorney general to pursue the death penalty “for all crimes of a severity demanding its use” in an executive order signed January 20. The order ended the moratorium on federal executions enacted by former President Joe Biden’s administration.

No, of course not.

The true goal of authoritarian regimes.

I only wanted to point out the hypocrisy, but you make a good point:
I forgot:

1/3 which is much worst than 1/4 denial.
This shit comes from the same mouth that incited a fucking riot and tried to overthrow the government. Fuck this piece of dog shit.
