Dozens of Democrats urge Biden to quickly end federal death penalty
By Aris Folley - 12/15/20 07:27 PM EST

Dozens of current and incoming congressional members have signed onto a letter penned by Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) calling on the next administration to making abolishing the death penalty a priority once President-elect Joe Biden enters office.

In the letter, reported by CNN, Pressley slams the Trump administration for resuming federal executions this year amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and for executing “more people in six months than the total number executed over the previous six decades.”

“The current administration has weaponized capital punishment with callous disregard for human life,” Pressley said.


“With a stroke of your pen, you can stop all federal executions, prohibit United States Attorneys from seeking the death penalty, dismantle death row at FCC Terre Haute, and call for the resentencing of people who are currently sentenced to death,” Pressley continued in the letter to Biden.

Congress should NEVER allow anything from Presley to get out of committee, yet hit the floor for a vote, unless it is her resignation, and it requires Congressional acknowledgement.

THE REAL REASON:  hundreds if not thousands of Democommies have committed treason with this election, committed treason with the coup against Trump, and I would add the BIG GUY and his and his family's treason in taking payoffs from enemy states, i.e. China, and all the above should warrant indictment, conviction and dispatch to hell.  That is if we had any justice in Washington, and yet we all know justice died in Washington decades ago!

But the USA has for a very long time been the sleeping giant.  Japan woke us up one sunny morning on December 7th, years ago.  And since the end of WWII we have curled up and resumed our slumber.  We haven't thought right since about enemies and threats to the USA. 

We have millions of illegal and legal aliens enter the USA taking jobs from USA citizens, and no one has done a damn thing about it.  Along comes Trump with the rhetoric to end H1-b Visas DAY ONE of his presidency to end the abuse of white collar workers, and build a wall to end the abuse of blue collar workers.  What happens?  Trump meets with the tech billionaire oligarchs months into his presidency, does a flip flop, increasing the H1-b Visa numbers.  And Congress is considering to increase the numbers further which will displace thousands more of USA citizens from tech jobs.  All the wall, a few hundred miles constructed, a promise to turn folks back at the border, etc, and the invasion is reduced.

Well along comes Traitor Joe promising to end all that, open the border for millions to flood in with the promise of free everything at USA taxpayer expense and citizenship.  Hooray!

What we will witness is the accelerated destruction of this country on steroids!  Joe Biden has committed three acts of treason I am aware of, each meriting a dispatch judgment with a guilty finding, and we have Pressley wanting to end the death penalty.  Any Republican going along with this should be primaried out of Congress.

Oh, my.  One would almost think they're nervous about something.   :yowsa:
