Seems based on what I have read that the guilotine worked pretty well.

Only if it’s an old woman.

Back in the days of the Wild West, if you were found guilty of murder, you would swing from a noose within a day or two.
They didn't put you on death row for thirty years at the taxpayers expense.

I appreciate the need for the appeals process but there has to be some way to expedite things.

And that goes both ways. Justice deferred is justice denied. A wrongly convicted person shouldn’t be sitting on death row for decades on appeal any more than the family of a victim should have to wait for a sentence to be enacted.

More nuclear sabre rattling from the Russian thug.

I gave this a laugh. Western Europe has become mostly leftist cowards, to afraid to stand up for their Country and culture. If they are to ignorant or cowardly to fight back, I don't feel a bit sorry for them.

They got what they voted for. Lean back with some popcorns and watch it unfold. I am sure there will e a "clean-up" one day when the pressurecooker explode. It will be a show!.

Oh wow! Ninety bucks will buy half a tank of gas ... and five sniffs of diesel fumes. Yeah, that'll buy a lot of votes. Pfft.

Hey RLD, after reading back through some posts in the Politics section, reference US politics that you seem to obsess about, I can’t help but notice, as witnessed by some of your posts, that you do not know the differences between/among socialism, fascism, capitalism and crony capitalism. Seems odd given your often self-described education and career background.
