    trump and Mike Johnson convicted and executed by firing squad

    Trump will probably die of old age, sadly. Vance might get to be tried though, if he takes over the regime.

    But they won’t be shot. They’ll be hanged. Execution by firing squad is a military “distinction” - at least when it’s carried out as part of a lawful sentencing process - and it’s considered one notch above hanging, which is reserved for common criminals and is applied to particularly disgusting characters as a mark of shame.

    That’s why a lot of Nazis were hung rather than shot. I don’t think we’ll think of high-ranking MAGA officials as worthy of a firing squad.

      I would be fine with a firing squad for every single neoconfederate, if it meant every single neoconfederate. Best for the bastards to be quickly removed from society enmasse, so that decent people can get on with rebuilding society without them.

      As an ordinary dude, the only real difference I see with hanging and bullets is how much time and suffering leads to the final result. I have better things to do, such as working a job that a neoconfederate can no longer fill.

      I didn’t know that. I just read on Wikipedia

      Göring made an appeal asking to be shot as a soldier instead of hanged as a common criminal, but the court refused.

      which is interesting and aligns with what you said

        Insult to injury. Soothes the sense of justice to imagine the humiliation and anger nazis could have felt when taken to the gallows
