Trump Rages at Biden for Wrecking His Plans for Executions: ‘Makes No Sense’

Human rights experts praised Biden’s decision to commute death row sentences—which baffled death-penalty hawk Trump.

Summary

President Joe Biden commuted the sentences of 37 federal death row inmates to life without parole, sparing all but three convicted of high-profile mass killings.

Biden framed the decision as a moral stance against federal executions, citing his legal background and belief in the dignity of human life.

Donald Trump criticized the move as senseless, vowing to reinstate the death penalty.

Reactions were mixed: some victims’ families condemned Biden, while others supported his decision. Human rights groups praised it as a significant step against capital punishment.

    People make exceptions for things they believe in all the time. Religion is a prime example; show me any established religion, and I’ll show you a few dozen beliefs associated with that religion that 99.9% of worshippers conveniently ignore. That doesn’t mean they don’t believe. That just means they have limits.

        Zoroastrianism.

        I’d be willing to bet that if you could even find someone practicing the religion, they’re not praying several times a day in a fire temple.
