A conservative plan forĀ Donald TrumpāsĀ potential transition into the presidency calls for dozens of prisoners to be executed, according to HuffPost. An 887-page plan by Project 2025, led by the ultra-conservative Heritage Foundation, says that if elected, Trump should make a concerted effort to execute the remaining 40 prisoners on death row. The sectionās author, attorney Gene Hamilton, advised that Trump ādo everything possible to obtain finalityā on the current list of people until Congress forces them to stop. Hamilton is the vice president ofĀ America Legal First, a group of former Trump lawyers bent on attacking āwokeā companies, headed by Stephen Miller. Trumpās approach to theĀ death penaltyĀ stands in stark contrast to that of PresidentĀ Joe Biden, who has openly opposed theĀ death penalty, but doneĀ littleĀ to move forward legislation to reform or abolish the practice since entering office.
For those of you not in the know Project 2025 is Republicans plan to turn the USA into an authoritarian state.
Thereās a series of detective novels Iāve been reading for years. Bernie Gunther is a WW1 veteran who joined the Berlin police force in the 1920s, and left when his Jewish boss was fired by the Nazis. Author is Philip Kerr.
In one of the novels, Bernie runs into an old cop pal and they have a drink. The cop tells Bernie that there were about 30 executions in all of Germany the year before the Nazis took over, and there have already been over 200 this year. The cop wonders how far itās going to go?
That sounds interesting as fuck, is that Berlin Noir?
Yes. Each book is a stand alone, but they do go in āhistoricalā order.
Slightly off topic. Max Allan Collins Nate Heller books are āhard boiled historicals.ā The latest "Too Many Bulletsā covers the Bobby Kennedy assassination.
Thank you! You just gave me a whole new series to dive into. Super excited.
enjoy
Are they in English?
Yes, Philip Kerr the author is English.
Looking for that now.
I want to take a break for doom news podcasts
Enjoy
I might have to check that series out. Thank you.
It actually reminds me a bit of Babylon Berlin, a German noir show which was based off the Gereon Rath series by Volker Kutscher.
Seen it. I usually hate TV shows with subtitles, but this one kept me going.
I need to watch it again, I think Iād understand it better the second time.
