NYC terrorist was happy as he asked to hang ISIS flag in his hospital room. He killed 8 people, badly injured 12. SHOULD GET DEATH PENALTY!

Would love to send the NYC terrorist to Guantanamo but statistically that process takes much longer than going through the Federal system...

...There is also something appropriate about keeping him in the home of the horrible crime he committed. Should move fast. DEATH PENALTY!

1. He's so fucking stupid

He has no concept of why his moronic spewing just hurt the federal governments chance of winning a death penalty case.

2. Morning Joe...

MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski is growing increasingly worried about President Donald Trump’s mental state as the special counsel probe gathers evidence that his campaign team may have colluded with Russia.

She said the dead giveaway was Trump’s tweet just before midnight calling for the execution of a suspect 24 hours after the New York City truck rampage, which she said fit the “psychological profile of someone up all night freaking out.”

Brzezinski and co-host Joe Scarborough agreed the president’s tweet violated historical norms and imperiled the prosecution, and they were troubled that Trump slurred the U.S. legal system as a “laughingstock.”

“There is a frightening arrogance happening here as we watch the feds close in on this president,” Brzezinski said. “Look at him, listen to him, listen to what he said about the legal system. Listen to what he said about the suspect, whether you are for or against the death penalty. Look at his behavior, look at his tweets before midnight. Something is going on here, and I think it might be a complete breakdown. I really do.”

8. He doesn't care. His base will cheer him for this.

That's the only thing that's important
To get praise from his base
Nothing else matters to him

3. Why the hurry? Why so interested in this case but not the Las Vegas case? WTF!?

[Miles Archer]

4. "Troubled individual"

He sees the Vegas shooter as a "troubled individual," and the NYC attacker as someone who needs to die, and soon.

I'm gonna go with Mika's assessment, which I posted above. He's up all night and freaking out because Mueller is closing in. He can laugh off the "Russia, Russia, Russia fake news," but Mueller is following the money, and that will lead to no good for Trump.

OF COURSE Manafort will flip to save his own ass (if he hasn't already).

OF COURSE Flynn and Kushner will flip if they are indicted.

Walls are closing in.

6. I suspect tRump's problem with this is....

he see it as an event that could be seen as a failure on his part. Therefore, he's very quickly acting to counterbalance that possibility in the press. He knows his tweets are front-page every time.

Regardless of his bluster, it will go down as a terrorist attack on his watch.

5. i'm sure don would like to be the executioner....sick man

9. I wonder if he really would - I kind of take him as the cowardly type

But then again maybe he wouldn't feel like he had any choice. To be clear - i think he's keen on the suspect dying as soon as possible; I just don't know if he would really want to be the one to do the execution.

7. He can't stand that people are criticizing him for his tweet last night...

so he is doubling down. You know that he is listening/watching Morning Joe this a.m..y! Oy!
