Trump said on social media that publicly airing the execution “might have been a strong deterrent for the World to witness how America deals with Terrorists and SCUM like Hasan.”
But, he continued, “any very good and well meaning people would rather not watch him die, through streaming, or through any other visual device.”
Not because it’s morally reprehensible but because there was backlash.
How Republican Christian of him and the rest of the shitty Republican Christians.
“IDIOTS! I never said streaming, I wanted it to be pay-per-view, all profits to ME!”
Doesn’t change that your government wants to do this and they want a population that supports it. The first isn’t going to change, they just don’t have the second, yet. Hegseth and Trump want you to become the kind of person who wants this on tv, think about who you elected to wield power and how they will use it to change you.
Not because it’s morally reprehensible but because there was backlash.
TBF, the backlash comes because it’s morally reprehensible. So by extension…
But yeah, Trump himself doesn’t have any moral or ethics.
Lmao. From the moment this was announced it was a no-win scenario for them. Hegseth gets to look like a bloodthirsty idiot again, and Trump gets to get called TACO again.
Thanks for the gift, Pete.
He found out the guy was in a wheelchair, and they’d rather have Rambo than a paraplegic. They wanted the message to be “doesn’t matter how big and strong you are, cross us and we’ll kill you.” That doesn’t work so well when you shoot someone in a wheelchair.
Also this all started because Kegshit went for pt run with some army people and got absolutely smoked by women.
Eh.
Not that I wouldn’t put it past this fascist regime to publicly execute someone if there wasn’t any pushback, but I think most of us knew this was just more grandstanding. Flexing the muscles because that’s what conservatives respond to because they couldn’t care less about policies that could actually help them.
It was always the case that even a lot of conservatives wouldn’t want their kids to be able to tune in and watch someone being killed. So it never made sense for them to actually do it. So now their narrative to their stupid, violent base can be “Well, we wanted to get serious about punishing criminals, but the sissy lib tears made us stop”. Of course their stupid, violent base will eat that up.
And, of course, it also served as a distraction from Trump’s complete and utter failure as president and child rape.
It’s TACO Thursday!
Couldn’t get a big service to host it anyway, it was going to be on kick and TikTok. That probably factored in as well.
Never even heard of kick… but just knowing that it considered hosting this pretty much guarantees I won’t be looking into it.
Don’t worry; it’s bankrolled by Stake, an infamous online casino
Well they had to push kick to host a bit but TikTok begged, is my understanding.
Which seems weird because isn’t kick one of the more shady livestream sites?
Yeah. If they had, most countries would have started banning that service from operating
Or at least started passing laws to heavily restrict them
Motherfucker.
