two black men and one black woman.

Since Trump reinstated federal executions, of the 8 federal-only prisoners executed so far in the last year of Trump's administration, 5 were white, 1 native American, all executed last summer, and 2 black since, with the 3 more to come, scheduled now for early 2021. Lisa Montgomery, who murdered a woman and cut the baby out so she could have it for her own, mentally ill of course, was scheduled to die 4 days ago but is still alive because her attorney came down with Covid.

Fwiw, Trump is racist of course, but I think Trump's cruelty and malice are directed at virtually everyone because he enjoys exercising his power that way and because when angry he wants to hurt everyone -- including his loyalists, who in spite of their dutiful support for everything he does continually enrage him by always failing him.

Death row inmates and the families trying to cross the border have one important thing in common: they are particularly vulnerable sets of victims available to exercise his cruelty on.

And so are those vulnerable to economic devastation, tragic losses, and death by the pandemic he not only refused to stop but encouraged his own trumpists to spread, many of whom have died and will die for it.

RIP to all who've died as a result of giving him the power to kill.

He's a psychopath. He enjoys. having the power over life and death.
If he had not been born rich... the FBI would be digging up his basement. He would be dead or in jail.

Let that sink in. This is the reason. he is all in for herd immunity. He enjoys killing.

the Biden Admin's AG investigates Trump very thoroughly. The serious crimes must be charged and if convicted, he must get prison time.

I read objections that he will not be convicted, because MAGAts will get on the jury. If that happens, we have done our best, even if that is only a record of the charges, evidence, and court proceedings. The world must know what a monster he is. It makes a necessary chapter to follow his presidency.
