Others are advocating for Biden to commute the sentences of federal death row prisoners. His attorney general, Merrick Garland, paused federal executions. Biden had said on the campaign trail in 2020 that he wanted to end the death penalty but he never did, and now, with Trump coming back into office, it’s likely executions will resume. During his first term, Trump presided over an unprecedented number of federal executions, carried out during the height of the pandemic.

Yeah, well watch that not happen.

America's bloodlust can never be satiated.

Trump will probably bring back gladiatorial combat as a Twitter video exclusive.

More likely pay-per-view torture to death.

I was hoping Roberson would have gotten a reprieve. Bloodlust’s in Texas won’t listen to anything at all.

People have loved gladiatorial combat since time immemorial.

I mean look at the popularity of Pokemon even to this day. It's basically baby's first Mandingo fight. Even kids can see the appeal of sending creatures enslaved to you to fight each other :>
