Fyi, death by guillotine is actually incredibly ethical and humane.
Infact, in modern research, rats that are used in research and then killed are done so via a guillotine.
A friend was a pharmacologist researcher and told me that they gave them a little ketamine so they were out of it then cut their heads off. It’s quick. They die within a few seconds.
Contrary to popular belief. Breaking the neck or even cutting it through does not result in instant death. Only paralysis. Though severed head is faster death. (Fastest death is obliteration of brain stem).
Many of the nerves that control the face actually run down into the neck and enter the spine there. So cutting off the head, at the base of the skull, also paralyzes the face.
It’s sort of how people think that since fish can’t scream they don’t feel pain. That’s stupid.
Just cause the head can’t scream, Don’t mean it’s dead. I suspect that’s why so many think breaking someone’s neck or cutting off their head is “instant”. It’s definitely “certain death” but it’s not instant.
It takes a little bit of time for oxygen to be deprived from the brain enough to cause unconscious and then death.
Breaking the neck or severing the head isn’t immediate death. Someone with a broken neck (even if it causes face nerves to be severed) may stay alive/conscience up to a minute or two. Just paralyzed. Knowing they can’t breathe. Knowing death is coming.
Terrifying.
So the gallows it is for the traitors.
I think we can agree only some of them deserve the guillotine.
You misspelled gallows Steve
It’s a good thing for them that I don’t get to make the decisions, because prison would not be what I decide.
Bannon is a piece of shit ghoul but of MAGAs most influential assholes he’s ones of the few that has enough guile to understand what will happen if they somehow lose the gambit they’ve embarked upon. Things are only going to escalate from here after the big loses they suffered Tuesday and as the economy continues to ride a unicycle on a 2x4 across the Grand Canyon

I wonder if Bannon and trump internally refer to this future state as being Bolsonaro’d.
The system will not deliver justice. People’s justice might not be as kind as what Bolsonaro’s getting.
I found the book mindfuck so interesting listening through who bannon was when the guy first met him and the journey to what he became.
We tend to assume these pieces of shit were always as bad as they currently are, so listening to stories like that are quite valuable to understanding how we get to where we are/were. The way this kind of awful can grow in the right person.
If a 2028 Democratic presidential candidate has any platform other than arresting Republican figureheads, I will not support them. Lawbreakers and criminals belong in prison.
I’ll be honest, I would not have had the left campaigning on “lock him up” but I’m not sure there can be any other option.
If they cop out with some unity bullshit it will just happen again in 4 years when people forget or decide they need a change or whatever.
Yay 2 party systems.
Both lock them up and make america better should be campaign. With all the specifics of course
at this rate i don’t think there is going to be a 2028 election or a democratic party.
What a Treasonous Pig. I hope his bacon gets fried
They are never going to prison. Democrats would never imprison their only chance to win against.
Oh man, could you imagine if THAT was how Trump ran for another term?
Democrats: Surely our fellow americans wouldn’t repeat-repeat-repeat vote for him! We can compromise to pass the “We Can Keep The Best Presidents As Long As We Want And It Is Temporarily Legal To Drink Water Without Asking Nestle” bill!
They need to be tried for treason, and punished accordingly.
That’s a coup right? That sounds a LOT like a coup.
It’s only a coup if it happens in the coup region of the world. Otherwise it’s just sparkling facism
It’s technically not a coup since the US Citizens voted them into power in order to do this.
Ahh. Just hitler vibes then.
You can coup democratic rule. The rulers of America, in the theory of republican liberalism, being the voters (though you could also laugh at that assertion it has theoretical principles on its side if not reality)
Alternate headline: Bannon tells GOP they’ve been doing just an absolute fuckton of crimes.
Crimes which current democrats will ignore in the name of making peace.
That bastard sez a lot of things. That’s all he does.
You mean the people who betrayed America and let hundred of thousand of Americans needlessly die in the pandemic?
Then cut aid to foreign governments so they could bail out their authoritarian friends causing hundreds of thousands more people around the world to die needlessly?
Prison? I was hoping for public executions
Best I can offer is healing wounds, looking forward and moving on together. We need a strong show of bipartisan support, not a witch hunt.
/s
Phew! I thought you were going to offer thoughts and prayers.
Good, I was worried we’d be dwelling on the past
Me too. The catharis from seeing the moment of shock and fear just as the guillotine’s blade touches the skin on their neck will make all of this worth it.
I was hoping more for a Mussolini style upside down hanging in public where anyone who wishes to can desecrate their corpses.
The Ceaușescu look if you will
Upvoted this and it was the 47th one. Feels good
That statement seems treasonous. Where is Efrem Zimbalist Jr. when you need him?
