And your post is the first I've seen suggesting it. I'm guessing you believe he committed treason. To even sughesting the idea of executing a president os quite disturbing.

I could live life with capital punishment being illegal. However, I'd be on-board giving it to Dylan Rood, Nidal Hassan, the El paso shooter, Nikolas Cruz, and other mass killers. At one time, it was di rigueur to suggest it for George W. Bush. No way! And even as evil and probably treasonous as Trump is, I just cant be ok generally with capital punishment for non-violent offenders. Julian Assange might be the one exception.

Anyway, I wanted there to be at least on DUer objecting to the notion of a Trump execution. You and I probabaly agree on everything but that.

I just cannot get to the point where I want him executed.

For me to want someone executed, I have to believe he affirmatively WANTS someone dead and affects the process to make that happen.

Bad decision-making, no matter how evil, that may indirectly cause death doesn’t warrant executing the decision-maker. Or at least in my book.
