Trump says he's "most excited" about the death penalty for drug dealers

Trump and his ilk sure do enjoy fantasizing about killing people.

So is he sending out a Death squad to track down Purdue Pharmaceuticals executives? Or do white drug dealers get a pass in death wish scenario?

So, anyone want to take the over/under on how long it takes his supporters to start forming roving gangs of vigilantes, like Deuterte has?

Several South American countries have much harsher penalties for drug dealing and production, but all it does is seem to ramp up the violence.

These “relentless and draconian countermeasures” have done little to lessen China’s drug problem, according to a report released last year by the Brookings Institute, a Washington, DC-based think-tank.

What’s offensive to me is that all of Trump’s “problems” (and support for his proposed solutions) are counterfactual, either entirely or in the details. That he even recognizes there’s a drug problem is amazing (because it’s acknowledging some aspect of reality), but then his understanding of it is entirely based on fantasy, making it impossible to address the problem (or even making it worse).
It’s like when he announced that he was going to get rid of HIV, then immediately shut down needle exchange programs… which will increase HIV transmission.

Wrong skin color. He’s thinking about other, highly specific “drug dealers.”

Honestly, do you even have to ask the question? He’s been pretty darn clear about what the answer would be.

I dunno. I think his base has a disproportionate number of dealers/users. This may not be the popular position he thinks it is, even with those idiots.

I know, I know. :wink: But at this point it even feels superfluous to ask rhetorically…

I’m confused about the association between a trade deal and China’s death penalty. Is part of the deal to ship containers full of drug dealers to China?

If he’s trying to reach some
elusive moral high ground…
He’s trippin’

I think it’s more to import their death penalty.

Oh. I wasn’t aware we could import changes to our laws. Can we get that one from Europe that ensures health care for everyone?

Not with Trump and the GOP in charge unfortunately.

Is that green drink on the table absinthe? Death penalty!

They’re already organized. D2S just hasn’t formally announced the pogroms

Was just thinking same thing.

Its like he inspires all these jackbooted assholes to rise up around the world in every country, and simultaneously gets to coopt their atrociously vile ideas.
