*That's nice, but it's a pity you don't disapprove of it enough to also
disapprove of Donald Trump.  *

*According to the US Constitution punishments can be cruel, or they can be
unusual, they just can't be both cruel AND unusual. So it would be
Constitutional to burn somebody alive as long as you didn't broadcast it
because that would be unusual, and it would be Constitutional to broadcast
a beheading because if done properly death would be quick. *

*It's interesting that Republicans are in the habit of accusing Democrats
of advocating **Sharia law**, but until a Republican president decided to
join the club only two countries in the world were in the habit of
broadcasting executions, Afghanistan and Iran.*
