, including expanding possible execution methods to include electrocution and death by firing squad.
The approved amendment to the"Manner of Federal Executions" rule gives federal prosecutors a wider variety of options for execution in order to avoid delays if the state in which the inmate was sentenced doesn't provide other alternatives. The rule was included among three dozen policy changes President Donald Trump is attempting to push through before the end of his term. The proposed changes were first reported by ProPublica.
Lethal injection explained 01:27There are 28 states that allow federal and state executions, and the lethal injection is the primary manner of execution. At least nine of those states allow for alternative methods such as electrocution, lethal gas, firing squad and hanging. Hangings were not mentioned in the amended rule.
The GOP is the CCP of America.
👎🏽👎🏽
Good. Get rid of them.
That is disgusting but I would agree for politicians starting with Trump and his partners in crime
Rethuglicans!
Abolish the death penalty
Trump’s platform this year wasn’t so much “Vote or Die,” but more like “Vote AND Die.” An administration dedicated to death, literal and figurative.
Shameful, shameful, shameful!
I’m no expert on the Bible but.... how does this work? question.. I mean so does the Bible change its language for the people doing this or do they get like heaven instantly or are they are atheist? Perhaps they agree ask for forgiveness after each time I mean.. christians? 🤨
INTERESTING !
This is obviously wrong and devious - shut down the shit show today realDonaldTrump is a bitch
Are they trying to have someone specifically executed?
Why would they that? What are they up to?
MF
Wait....I thought they were pro life?🤦♀️🤯
Why Barr and Trump both ( along w many others) are NOT on the list of scheduled executions after all they have killed in these last four years remains a mystery. Countless lives have been lost as a result of poor (slothful) leadership. Many lives have been needlessly taken.
Macabre
They are so insensitive and selfish
Didn't know human beings could be this wicked. The GOP is a disgrace.
I thought republicans were pro-life...
USA of Trump: the killing fields
Yep the evangelical Christian pro lifers. Puritans in the day and perverts in the dark! Insane!!!
But then Donnie pardons a criminal?
The united states is a barbaric society.
Pro life GOPHypocrisy at it's finest.
Are we supposed to be impressed by an increase in executions?
America GOP IS NOTHING MORE THAN HAYERS THEY NEED TO BE OUSRED FOREVER
I doubt they’re rushing anywhere. More likely what was already on the agenda.
Biden can get rid of it all
of course they are getting ready for Trumpy and his family, just like Czar Nicholas and his family - with the exception no diamonds allowed on their clothes
Going out with a bang. 🤯
More lies
realDonaldTrump literally trying to get more people killed before leaving office😂😂 They want states to bring back firing squads GOP will enjoy all the election ads in 2022! MAGA WhiteHouse SenateGOP SenateDems TheJusticeDept RachelBitecofer smerconish JoeBiden 🇺🇸🇺🇸
The Republicans playing devil yet again.
Between barr trump and the rest of the do nothing republcans they've killed enough people with the virus don't you think!
OMG - just imagen Archie - imprisend 37 yrs for a crime he did not commit - imagen 37 yrs., guess he is not alone - many on the deathroll are innocent. Awful.
BULLSHIT.
Why?
Omg they’re devils. This is pure obvious evil.
WHAT TOTAL BULLSHIT CNN. THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS TRUMP WOULDNT DO THAT.
This is looking more & more like a Hitler run country. Firing squads? Will someone please stop these idiots? Republicans in the Senate & House - WAKE UP!!
I thought he was pro life?
He wants to maximize his opportunities to kill Americans, if not the virus then lets kill all the death row. It plays to his base who would probably offer to be part of the firing squads.
Pro-life but speeding up the process for death penalty Does anybody else see the hipocrisy
SMH! barr going to be right in jail with his buddy when this ends! barr and trump were personal friends of epsteins don't forget! the last person to see epstein before his murder was barr!
How about we execute their ass’s they deserve
What? Change the rules to make it convenient for them ?! That doesn’t sound like them (sarcasm)
Republicans are Pro Life?!!! Apparently only in the womb.
You do realise this is more to do with what will end Biden do when some prisoner/state says they going to execute a prisoner by firing squad It’s all part of the Rep party and Trumps scorched earth policy
My question is about this type of democracy ?
Can’t wait till he’s gone!!! Bye bye
What a bunch of awful cnts.
William Barr acting as a terrorist?
Trumps killer squad minions at play. Nazi's with only hate in their soul. Traitors of the american people.
This administration believes that before they leave in 50 days, the loose ends they need to tie up are *checks notes* executions. “The Difference Between Christian Evangelicalism and Religious Nationalism”
So, this is what we have sunk to? Hitler’s regime executed the same orders during the Fall of the Third Reich. WTF is wrong with the GOP? You’ve been playing way too much Call of Duty 2024! Just never ends. FUCK TRUMP, BARR, GUILIANI & MCENANY!
I would say, who on Earth would be sick enough to volunteer to be one of the “squad”... but I’m sure the GOP favourite Kyle Rittenhouse would put his hand up, along with the Seal guy that Trump pardoned and numerous other sickos that support him.
🤮
Justice must be served
Before you know it they will approve mass executions by gas or firing squads! What is it about GOP wing so blood thirsty, either hunting or in its case executions? Just had another thought! They may use criminals as NRA sports targets?
They obviously didn't vote for Trump.
How very Christian of them. Makes me feel sick.
And you thought the GOP was pro life 🤷♂️
Maybe they can add Fool-Aid to the firing line for being a traitor to the USA.
This is the pro life guys right?
Bye Bye Barr. American voters are kicking your boss out.
Not content to only kill 250,000 people, the Trump administration races to kill more.
Total perversion and blood lust
This is archaic, evil, insane and anti-life. What the hell is going on?! This is America people. We are better than this. Our Lord will not be pleased with those who are responsible for this policy.
Wretched assholes!!
😱
you are Darkness and you have no power over the Light StopTheSteaI2020
he is hitler
I hope the justice department can make it in time - how barbaric! Thank god that Trump monster is on his way out 💔
The minions dance to he who calls the tune !
When I thought this administration hit rock bottom they always find a way to take it down even farther. Sickening
Joe Biden cheated. Treason was committed. Biden must concede and treason must be punished harshly.
Thank God soon we won't have to see this obese criminal.
These people are EVIL‼️ They sold their souls...Satan’s coming to collect his due😳
Cruelty is the point. And evil is their calling
So it's not good enough to use lethal injection, they want to put people down like rabid dogs.
Let President Joe Biden handle it he is the President of the people of the United State of America
In 2020 the 'pro life party' wants to kill people by firing sqaud... What a legacy.
They're preparing the firing squads for the Swamp!
They are trying to kill as many people as they legally can. We won't forget how the Republicans were silent through all of this
I wonder witch method they will give Kyle Rittenhouse
Only Donny would squeeze in a few more deaths than he already caused. I'm shocked he didn't talk Thomas into retiring so he could put a young ultra-right-wing justice on the SCOTUS.
Guess killing thousands by mishandling COVID-19 wasn’t enough for him.
Wait? I thought they were pro-life?
Not pro-life. The Republican value.
So let me make sure I understand our government’s stance: let’s hurry up and get this done, so we can kill people quicker before the draft dodger leaves office because we know Biden will end the program?
Trump and his administration want to kill more people and as many as they can on top of what they killed with their ignorance of Coronavirus.
“Final days of the Trump administration“? Are you dreaming or a time traveler?
So damn sick!
I bet they are mostly in a rush to change the policy for TREASON
Hard to believe this is our country. This is not a dictatorship. He shouldn’t be able to do this without congress. He is not the lawmaker.
But some of these convicted guys have done some bad things. Especially those convicted of sexually assaulting and murdering kids. Those should be executed by firing squad & I'll cheer. I'm a democrat.
that's like - insane- to the Nth degree- expediting executions like a slaughterhouse, while Pardon-man starts his crooked-crew Pardon-athon all of December
The same type of logic that lead to the SS speeding up their Final Solution during the waning days of the War in Europe.
Heart Attack... Please for the love of? He's a turd.
While I don’t support the death penalty, I would still think that anyone who did support the death penalty would not rush into such a decision. Rushing to kill people seems like an act of desperation not one of justice or deterrence.
Just like y’all rush to kill unborn babies!!! The difference is the babies haven’t had a chance to do anything wrong yet!!!
Pardons for Friends. Death for the rest.
Think it’s very sad for history to remember you for the number of people that were sent to their death on your watch, some who may have been not guilty. Wonder how that will be taught to new lawyers.
Pro life crowd 🙌 👌
So Trump wants to kill more people.... The administration that let kill 260,000 and counting Americans of COVID19 and many more prisoners..
Sickos
So how do these good evangelicals think this is what Jesus would do?
Why dont we put this fat whale out in the Bermuda triangle
Bill Barr is the Höss of the Justice Department. Surely there is a criminal act being committed by him. We are not this in humane.
Why?
What is your choice, Barr?
I knew 2020 was missing something........ Firing Squads. 🙄
“You think there was four years of chaos under Trump because the media created said chaos. You’ll think there’s four years of calm under Biden because even if World War III pops off, the media will create the illusion of peace and calm. None of what you see is real.” -Jesse Kelly
Demons need blood
👍👍
Wow...what a pro-life thing to do! ProLife by realDonaldTrump TrumpIsNotProLife
What a legacy indeed.
OMG! How do these people sleep at night
Which employee is going to go work as part of a firing squad in 2020....must be the psychopaths that love realDonaldTrump
pro-lifers are rushing to kill adults via executions and COVID, BUT slow to evacuate their offices when they know they’ve been fired by the American public. Yup, that’s the Grand Old Party we love to hate.
Merica!! 🤔 Living in a proper place above this gang hideout is fucking weird
New doj need to lock this educated criminal first
So be it, it’s on his head. His legacy is death.
'It also suggests that if the state where the crime occurred does not permit death sentences, a judge can designate another state with those laws and utilize their facilities to carry out the execution.' That shouldn't be allowed.
Barbarians
How much state federal tax dollars will the NRA get for this program? Can you research this please? MSNBC washingtonpost TheDailyShow They will need to purchase bullets and weapons for this and this will require I’m sure more than “they need.” They will invest.
Trump is beyond insane. Let's kill a bunch of people quick before I go
Killing people is a priority for the 'pro-life' politicians.
How about pulling convicts apart with horses? That didn't make the list?
Geez! They seem to be hurrying to be making NRA very happy! I wonder if they are scared to lose them as a donor or something after realDonaldTrump leaves...🤔🤔🤔
This is disgusting. I hope there is some way to stop this. Why would anybody be in a rush to execute people before leaving office?!
The administration is not over and won't be until 2024 at which time MORE REPUBLICANS WILL WIN.
Dems united in fake ballots! Xi killed doctors to ensure the Covid 19 entered USA. Xi will crush all American jobs & USA freedoms. The 'I voted' sticker rightfully should read 'i voted for China&Iran Leaders' Bidens/Clintons/Obamas sold out the USA years ago for $ POWER.
265k covid deaths weren't enough for them
trump should pardons
Let he who is without sin cast the first lethal injection...
Biden and Harris should jail Trump, his family and all corrupted Republicans including Barr and Pompeo.
Proving once again that deaths are the specialty of the Republican Party.
Who cares.
I thought republicans were the right to life party! I guess they get to choose the lives that are worthy to live. Such hypocrisy
Not pro life after all. Pro life is only valid towards zygotes.
The party of pro-life is rushing to execute? VP SecondLady how are you silent to “play God” and execute? Pro-life my ass!
Because they haven’t already exacted enough death on Americans?
This is crazy !!!!
Really.....how can it be okay to have someone so devious and scheming as president of the USA!!!!!
Just trying being good Christians
Getting reading for a future where a dictator could be running the country. Just imagine that one.
Bill Barr is the face of shame.
Death penalty for Barr would be acceptable.
Great Job by them.
Barr must be barred!
Why? So more options for when the traitors are sentenced?
Pro lifers be like “yes presidick trump. Good job”
Changing the rules to kill more faster. I am sorry but this administration’s track record when it comes to human life is horrendous. Starting with inaction of violence by white supremacists, towards minorities, Covid deaths & now this. This is just evil and pointless
Be funny if trump were convicted of all the covid deaths he allowed and was sentenced to death by his own rule. baldheadedhoe
I thought Trump supporters are prolife?!
He wants to literally kill as many people as he can. realDonaldTrump Covid deaths as of today 272,254.
Evil , evil , cruel, evil ....”vengance is mine “ sayeth the lord...what sayeth thou? Giveth me another piece of thine turkey? i careth not whence and if thee government tresspasseth upon our rights?
He doesn’t need to change the law, the GOP is killing thousand of Americans every day by their stupidities!
Wicked, Evil people! 74 million voted for this! Some said it was because of their pro-life belief! Well Well Well! I guess all lives don’t matter!
Demons
This is what they want to be.... especially those who are not loyal.
The pro-life party everybody!
Trump loses the election and so they’re increasing executions and want to add different methods of execution? Seems like they’re trying to live out some of their fantasy of being ruthless dictators in the time they have left.
Trying to sell bullets for the NRA..🤨
Pure evil!
A legacy to be proud of.
It’s cause Republicans are so pro life you know.
US future = no freedom of speech, no gun rights, no property rights, cashless society so they can really track your every movement, can't leave your house without master saying you can. Your too dumb to make your own choices and decisions becasue they are elite and smarter.
Wow these guys are fucking archaic
Nothing like these Law and Order Pro-Life Republicans cranking up the death machine and handing out pardons to their friends with impunity.
At this point it really does feel like: 'I like Captain Solo where he is.' -Barr
Trump, Barr and death keep coming up, civilians next, the cool-aide is being stirred, Mcconnell to administer
Kkkyle Rittenhouse should be on death row. I don't understand what is going on with this sudden need to execute. What is the agenda?
Trump administration is basically killing Americans with Covid and executions.
GOP , The ProLife party
Unpopular option: im pro-choice and pro execution........beats being a hypocrite 🤷♀️
Literally in a hurry to kill as many people, birds, anything living that they can. I thought Evangelicals preach mercy and love, how can this be🤑🤔🤫
Sick fucks.
If this isn’t the most evil administration this country has ever seen, I don’t know what is.
Betting that someone told Trump most people on death-row are democrats.
And they call themselves pro-lifers Their hypocrisy know no limits. GOP motto “hypocrites we are.” “Liars R Us.” GOPCorruptionOverCountry GOPHypocrisy
I guess if they really want to answer to a firing squad when they’re finally found guilty of sedition thats on them.
TRAITOR!
Wait, I thought the Trump administration was Pro Life?
Donald J.Trump has pure evil in the place where normal people have a heart. When God decides to punish Trump for all the evil he has spread in this country I pray that he brings Trump to his knees with no mercy.
The ProLife party. Not seeing much respect for life here. Guess what? My God does not approve.
trump & republicanCULT installed judges..Believing These judges would be LOYAL to them and go along With their ATTEMPTED COUP..they DIDN'T!
The pro life party?🧐
Monsters
All you in the world. Please understand this is CNN and are willing to divide Americans by spreading vile stories designed to push our emotional’buttons’. Even If if you are anti-Trump, please don’t be anti- American. Fight back against the lies.
Haunting
It’s more important to execute prisoners when other folks don’t even have their basic needs met.
If the French people accept the tyranny of the state, the situation will be generalized to the rest of Europe.
so how long have they been scheduled for execution and how long have they had food, clothing, & medical care since they committed the crimes that were punishable by Death!! Does anyone care about their victims or their families!!
Barr needs to be the first one to go. He is just like Trump the worst in America
“Pro-life”
Pathetic
Considering all the trump People That Could be held accountable for treason this may not be The best idea
What’s a few more after 250k plus
That will deter no one
Sick disgusting pigs
🤔Riddle me this how can the Republicans preach about being Pro-life yet they are also Pro-death🤔
Trump is evil personified.
Why What’s their ever-loving reason
Shameful. A legacy of death. A startling reminder of how quickly & brutally we can descend.
Did Barr grow up in Hitler Germany
DiaperDon killed 250,000 people. Still not enough. But maybe Barr only wants to make sure his boss won't evict the firing squad. Just kidding. DiaperDonald is a white male. Won't happen. DeathPenalty DOJ
The pro-life party is at it again. Kill Kill Kill (people, pandemic stimulus bills, appointments, whatever is in their way).
Pure evil
'justice'
Is this the beginning of their plan for a scorched earth before leaving office?
Firing squad is so mob. What legacy.
Incredible.. To the bitter end William Bare, once respected under another republican administration, continues to be complicit to DJT and foster is Fucked Autocratic Rule! Pathetic. Power and Life are short.. Hell is Eternal especially when dealing directly with the Devil!
This is pathetic as hell
The BASTARDS!!
Awful just Monsters
January 20 cannot come quickly enough! This nightmare has got to end!
Death penalty in a 'civilized' country? Horrific. What are you? Barbarians?
The Trump administration's motto is 'Letting people die is our hobby'
Just like the Nazis on the run
The jig is up. The house of cards is tumbling down.
Looks like someone is holding the bag on Barr.. Maybe we should find out who?
😂😂😂😂😂😂 Final days?
back_the_BBC Wow! Isn’t democracy just great? And what distinguished company to be in, eh?
I hope the rumor that CNN is thinking of hiring PressSec Kayleigh Mc Enany is false. If not I won't watch CNN again
bidencheated
Democrats continue to fight for the rights of criminals and damn victims
Awful. There will be a reckoning.
Kind of weird for a bunch of prolifers to be rushing people to their state sponsored murders isn’t it? 🤔
Inhumane. But, now you know where Barr is.
realDonaldTrump Justice Department is in a rush to execute as many people as they can by changing rules before he leaves office!! Hasn’t Trump killed enough people with Covid!!
Thou Shalt not Kill.!
He really isn't what I expected God would look like
What next - the guillotine?
I’m all for the firing squad if it applies to treason.
Anyone surprised by barr being a huge govt hack is a moron
whatever the pro-lifers want man, chair, rope; they got my uterus in one hand and the switch in the other
Pitty we can't include therealdonaldtrump in that group... yet!
Seems a little gratuitous. Unless they need to get rid of someone that knows too much.
So much for being 'pro-life'.
No surprise that trump would want to kill people to try and assert some feeling of power as he leaves office pathetic and in disgrace --
How fucking dumb is this FakeNewsCNN? I mean the Clintons wanted me dead and it didn't take them long, now did it? Signed, Jeffery Epstein
Party of pro life. Can’t wait to kill.
Next stop guillotine design & fabrication. 😎
Even want firing squad as an option. My God people.
Blood thirsty POS.
Trump--throwing a bone to his bloodthirsty followers. Sickening.
This is why no one takes them serious about being pro-life. I mean, how can you force women to bring a human to life only to put that human to death later on in life? Make it make sense.🤦🏽♀️
They aren’t killing enough people in the pandemic? How bloodthirsty can you be?
meanwhile the american people are struggling
Hillary, Brennon, Clapper, Comey are on the list
If you play you will pay . No reason taxpayers have too. And if you want to chime in- we can delay the elect fraud results. Live by the sword fall by the sword 👍
I hope the new AG opens investigations into Bill Barr.
Not surprising. Even the close to 300,000 that Corona has claimed were very innocent but they never blinked or showed empathy. They continued gathering masses to infect as many as they can in campaigns & now our hospitals are overflowing. Hard to believe how evangelicals relate.
Are they going to allow use of the guillotine?
'Covid relief?' 'Nah, executions' '😐'
Barr andTrump are sick bastards . This is beyond the pal. Do any of them do any good things for America
WHY?
Fake News!
Let’s go!
