This guy has a real hard on for executions.

Earlier this year, the dozens of inmates on Louisiana’s death row had a glimmer of hope: In April, Gov. John Bel Edwards, a Democrat, used his last state of the state address to call on the legislature to abolish executions. He declared them exorbitantly expensive, difficult to administer, and often wrong, pointing to more than 50 reversals of sentences and six full exonerations of death row inmates in the last 20 years… But, in Louisiana, the governor does not have sole authority to commute death sentences; granting clemency requires the approval of the Louisiana Board of Pardons and Committee on Parole. In July, the board, acting on advice from Attorney General [and now Governor-Elect] Landry, denied all 56 petitions outright and en masse.

      The game for fascists is to use titles to cover the flaws, so go exactly opposite meaning: pro-death and godless.

        Let’s not equate godlessness with evil given the many decent non-religious types out there.

          True. Folks that believe in God but do not follow are godless. The rest of us understand there is no afterlife or creator for it so the idea of a god is not a consideration. We are not godless as there is no god to have.

          That man believes there is a god and anti god. His support is not with the god he believes exists.

      I’ll bet he likes taking “donor’s” bribe money too, Jesus did say you needed a lot of money to buy a penthouse in supply side heaven, after all.
