stuff like this is troubling:

Witness: Condemned Alabama man coughed, heaved during execution - CNN.com

now the electric chair seems brutal and if people are heaving for 13 mins thats also pretty brutal so whats so wrong with the firing squad? now i get that any sort of lethal punishment could probably be considered cruel and unusual but if we are going to do it a shot to the heart seems like a quick enough option. or change it up and have a couple snipers go for head shots. whats quicker than that?
 
I think we'll all be seeing a lot of this in America's near future.

Trump launches war on unions - POLITICO

I don't know, are unions irrelevant at this point? Or does this set the stage for a Congressional war for 2018, could the democrats win back the House and/or Senate then? The union leaders have always been skeptical of Trump. It's the rank and file that voted him in. Wonder if they're regretting that.

Looks like now would be a good time to get that "Don't blame me I voted for Gary Johnson" sticker on my car. :D

Easy there Jon.
 
The beauty of our mostly dysfunctional political system is that, when people don't get what they are promised, they can vote everyone out. So your senators and representatives are on a 2 year timetable.

I'm not a big fan of the death penalty (probably should only be reserved for true monsters like serial killers) but if they are gonna do it I got no problem with a fire squad or hanging. Cheap, effective, and relatively painless. They should give them a choice of those two.
 
I hope it's Ted Nugent. This verse seems apropos:

Well, I make the pussy purr with the stroke of my hand
They know they gettin' it from me
They know just where to go when they need their lovin' man
They know I'm doin' it for free
