So will Pete Hegseth's future execution by guillotine be live-streamed too?

The last line of that article is chilling. Have we as a nation really slipped this far? Amnesty International said in its report on executions in 2025 that it knew of at least 17 public executions — 11 in Iran and 6 in Afghanistan.

Sick. Just sick.

Barbaric.

The practice of public executions was discontinued in Denmark in 1882.

People are too desensitized to the death penalty. If they see it in action, maybe they'll realize how barbaric the practice is.

prurient, disgusting, and totally barbaric

Republicans: “we need to post our commandment of thou shall not kill in every school in America” Also Republicans: “Hey kids who wants to watch a TikTok livestream of us killing a man.”

Actual barbarism, disgusting

Sickening 😡🤢🖕

Knowing these pieces of shit, they will auction off spots to fire the guns. They gotta make life miserable for us while the tv president makes what he thinks is good content.

Could the #PeteHegseth approach to “toughness” and the “warrior ethos” become any more trashy? Live-streaming an execution will make us look even more crass than we already are. Thanks for that, Mr Dept. of WAR.

A public execution right before an election you say?

Beyond demented.

Aw yeah -- that's good ol American Christianity for ya!

More spank bank material for conservatives and christian nationalists. They sure get off on inhumanity.

This is not the America I grew up in. This should not be who we are. Hegseth and Trump are fascists and sadists. Anyone involved in this spectacle should refuse to participate and resign in protest.

I understand your proposal. What I want to know is where is a petition or something easily shared across platforms ? You said "please join me..." but didn't provide anything for us to join (except to follow you on substack). I was hoping for more details about that, cuz I'm listening.

Great, we're becoming ghouls again.

Sounds about right, for what America had become. 😞

HOW DARE HE MAKE THIS PUBLIC! OUR CHILDREN WILL BE TRAMATIZED IF THEY SEE SUCH A HORRIBLE SCENE! HE IS TRULY MISSING A SENSITIVITY CHIP!

Of course Hegseth wants it to be public. Any opportunity to get his face on camera with a fresh spray tan, a new suit and his Zoolander frown. It’s all about the theater.

Live streaming = barbarism

Whiskey Pete is an inept low functioning alcoholic. He needs this theater of cruelty to look tough. It just makes him look like a thug.

This is not only morally repugnant and against any Christian values these people espouse ; but will inspire more spree killers who wish to have the most attention possible , right up to the end. We are a morally bankrupt country now , and sliding into an abyss we must escape anyways possible.

Barbaric and disgusting.

the american dream... Bismillah c'est les ténèbres

That is atrocious...

this is going to be anyone who is not maga after the midterms. we're all terrorists according to them. get ready.

It continues with Trump's pattern of acting like the Handmaid's Tale was some kind of eutopia

Shoot a terrorist by firing squad, on livestream, like Al-Qaeda does with a sword? To live on in video as a martyr to inspires a multitude? Better to ghost him like we did bin Laden. Out of sight, Out of mind.

Orange Caligula. The dementia is such that he hears "emperor" and then can no longer process " stabbed to death by the Praetorian Guard". Lapdog Hegseth's days are numbered.

Oh hey look the public executions are starting. You know these criminal traitors are playing with fire here. You make public executions a thing again, once they're out of office and their trials end in convictions, they're probably gonna regret this.

And the public will demand the end to the death penalty afterward.

Waiting to see the list of influencers who will be invited. Kegseth will turn it into a state sanctioned snuff film.

Kegsbreath and Poopie-Pants-Pedophile-in-Chief livestreamed would break the internet.

Pete is fake Christian.

Oppose every execution -state sanctioned violence violates the sacred dignity of every human life. “The dignity of human life must never be taken away, even in the case of someone who has done great evil.”(JPII) Death penalty is immoral in all cases, does not uphold life, or help grieving families

The Pentagon will livestream a firing squad. Capital punishment is one debate. Making it a spectacle is another, and is wrong on so many levels.

This too was predictable. They were kicking it around during the 2024 campaign. Like everything else it was normalized and not taken seriously.

We're a couple of steps away from stadium executions.

I nearly fell off the treadmill at the gym when I saw this on the news. There are no words.

Says nothing about the shooter. Says everything about the country we have become.

As the USA spirals into a violent autocracy…

Pete Hegseth's bloodlust is disgusting and barbaric.

Hogsbreath learning from his Iranian friends. Of course they could sell tickets to the live stream with all proceeds to the 🍊💩🤡. Maybe run a public lottery to be part of the firing squad. There are worse possible depravities but maybe none too depraved for hardcore MAGA types or the US government.

The average MAGAtard loves this livestreaming execution because he's a Muslim. How are they any better than the Taliban?

The sort of thing broadcast by the Iranian regime - two repressive theocracies

Barbarism clickbait. How far the US has been dragged down by this regime. Horrific!

Just wait for TACO. Someone other than Trump or Hegseth will be used as an excuse to override the public execution.

Bread and Circus ladies and gents. Next, they’ll throw in a few hyenas and lions for an enhanced experience. And those…the supreme inbreds, they voted for this.

The stupid maga Neanderthal will probably put it on pay per view to make money on it … a real Christian thing to do…

Horrific!

Barbaric.

Public executions are the kind of thing they do in dictatorships. So if you had any doubt, here we are in one.

Just barbaric.

They object to Drag Queens and want to Glorify this? Sick.

And baby killers

I will not mourn for this man. But I will not find joy in his death. And I will not give my approval to potentially making that guy a martyr to some batch of dipshits out there. Let him rot in jail.

ISIS Style

Crazy people that drunkenseth

This cannot happen. We cannot join Iran and Afghanistan as the only nations that carry out executions as public spectacles.

We are not sure.

Only #MAGAChuds will watch. #BloodLust is strong in those #Idiots.

This is ridiculous. And must be stopped.

We're the Americans now. Cope.

There are public executions in Afghanistan, it's true, but I don't believe any nation on Earth has ever livestreamed an execution. That idea is a uniquely American bit of evil.

This is happening for one reason only. The shooter is a Muslim. The recent botched lethal injection gives them an excuse to bring back a more barbaric method and use it on a Muslim. If this were a white guy not only would it never be seen but he wouldn't get the death penalty

This says a lot about the values of our ruling junta and their cult followers here in the US.

Pay-per-view? Donate to tRUMP’s pac!

"Sure, I'm going to be impeached, but am I going to be impeached enough?"

How absolutely absurd is it that a "my two dads" book gets banned because of the supposed harmful message but it's okay for our government to sanction and condone the livestreaming of executing people. Where's the outrage, you stupid Maga nitwits & you Moms for Liberty morons? JFC what a shitshow.

Shame on any network that shows it. We're in the dystopia we've been reading about for generations.

Jesus effing crisp. This cannot be real

So Hassan was radicalized and indoctrinated which resulted in the shooting. Irony is dead at this point.

More Man in the High Castle - public executions and Nazis

Surest way to end capital punishment in this country would be to make us watch it.

Why not make school children watch it, like Saudi Arabia used to encourage parents to take their children to see public beheadings? This administration continues to exceed expectations by reaching new lows weekly.

More evidence this administration is led by barbarians

Hunger Games.

If NPR carries this live, I will not ever again listen to a broadcast or watch or read another story from this agency - or ANY "news" agency that carries this live. It's disgusting. It's barbaric. The ONLY people who deserve death are TRAITORS - Trump, Hegseth, Miller and the Entire GOP.

Let's join North Korea, Afghanistan, and Iran in a race to the top -- of barbarity.

substack.com/@minkie2/not...

Cool, if Pete is on board with live-streaming himself standing in the town square, letting the crowd stone him for his many colorful sins. Deal Pete? And will the soldiers ordered to kill him get support and therapy? Or just some testosterone?

One of the last discussions I had on twitter before leaving was with an Iranian author who was defending the regime for hanging a man and leaving his body suspended from a crane at a busy intersection. So much for saying the U.S. was different. We’ve fallen into the abyss; it’s mind numbing.

Maybe you should cut his head off with a sword, behead him!

This is sickening.

I can’t help but wonder if the reason the Cheeto and the Suckretary want to make such a cruel spectacle in this case is because the man’s last name is Hasan🤔

Next, the guillotine. And the cult will cheer. Sick. Vote early.

The US is an uncivilized backwater run by Nazi oligarchs.

If you watched the Georgia senate debate last night, we already witnessed a public execution.

Will be the biggest islamic terrorism recruitment video since Abu Ghraib !

Since we are all living in a Paul Verhoeven movie now, has anyone thought to ask him if he has any ideas for a happy ending?

This is disgusting. The fact that children will be able to see this on the internet is horrifying. This is not normal behavior.

Televised Executions? USA's Christian Taliban.

Perfectly normal… for an authoritarian regime.

The "Party of Life".

And you were wondering what TrumpTV would do for programming? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I cant wait to watch trump execution

Somebody should ask Hegseth if he'd be so keen to livestream it if the person being executed was white.

Do we have names from the Epstein list yet?? Can we make those public too?

Disgusting. I, for one, do not have a desire to watch someone die. Our cruel administration just loves this sort of pain.

I'm surprised Pretty Petey isn't beheading him
