Good leaders change their mind and there has never been a world leader as good as Trump in all of human history. He’s the goat and it’s not close.

This has got to be satire.

Delusional. Putting this man on a pedestal like a good little cuck.

I believe it's a small vocal minority of people who are blood thirsty to see Hassan get executed live on tv, but it's truly disturbing none the less.

This country continues to spiral into moral decay.

And no, I do not think he should get off and not have punishment, but blowing his brains out on live tv is not going to bring healing to anyone and will only serve to satisfy thanatophiles and sadists.

exactly how i feel about all of this

Not always, but I'm fine with it in this instance. I feel like public executios are another event horizon that should not be crossed. It's a deterrent against the behavior that might lead to said execution, but also a massive platform for martyrdom sympathy.

I've prayed and soul searched on this issue, and I don't feel like the offsets are a net benefit.

If we're trying to NOT be like Al Qaeda, Hamas and Taliban, we should avoid adopting their calling card public execution spectacles. All these people understand is death, and we can give it to them without the attention they want. Give them an internet-wide martyr's death, and you're ultimately giving them EXACTLY what they want. For context, quietly double tapping Osama Bin Laden in the face and then dumping him at sea, that was the pinnacle of disallowing the possibility martyrdom. They're a bunch of goat r@pers in caves, but they're far from stupid and they use Internet propaganda as effectively as the US government does.

This administration has to be one of the most disorganized and non-communicative group of people to have ever been in the WH. It’s astounding how terrible they all are at communicating with one another. Just a straight up circus show.

No. Neither any Democrat (as a political actor), any governor, nor an ordinary state/federal judge acting outside proper process can unilaterally halt Nidal Hasan’s scheduled military execution.Nidal Malik Hasan (the former Army major convicted in a 2013 court-martial of 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder for the November 5, 2009, Fort Hood shooting) is under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

His death sentence was upheld through the full military appellate process. The U.S. Supreme Court denied review in March 2025. President Trump approved the death sentence on October 2, 2026; the Acting Secretary of the Army then set the execution for December 3, 2026, at 1 p.m. CST by firing squad at Fort Hood (the first U.S. military execution since 1961).

Relevant Authority president: Sole authority to approve a military death sentence (and can commute or pardon). Once approved and after the required appellate process, the Army sets the date under its regulations (generally 60–150 days after approval).

army.mil

Federal civilian courts (habeas corpus): Hasan can still file a petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (typically in the District of Kansas, where he has been held at Fort Leavenworth). A federal district judge, circuit court, or the Supreme Court could theoretically issue a stay or grant relief on constitutional or jurisdictional grounds that received full and fair consideration in the military courts. Legal experts describe this path as narrow and potentially rushed; success is not assured, and prior review reduces the likelihood of broad new claims. Novel issues (e.g., method of execution or livestreaming) could also be litigated and might delay proceedings, but they do not automatically stop the sentence.

nytimes.com

Governors: No authority. This is a federal military case, not a state capital case. State governors control only their own state prison systems and death rows.

Individual Democrats (or any politicians by party): No unilateral power. Members of Congress cannot order a stay. Political affiliation confers no legal authority to intervene in a military execution. Only the President or a court acting through proper legal channels can affect it.

Hasan’s military appeals are exhausted. Any further delay would require a successful (or at least stay-granting) habeas filing or presidential action. Historical precedent exists for federal court intervention delaying a previously approved military execution (e.g., Ronald Gray after President George W. Bush’s approval). Whether Hasan’s counsel will pursue further challenges remains open; he has historically been uncooperative with some defensive efforts.

More about Ronald Gray after President George W. Bush’s approval).

Ronald A. Gray remains on U.S. military death row at the United States Disciplinary Barracks, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. He is the longest-serving inmate there (sentenced in 1988) and one of only four currently under military death sentences (alongside Nidal Hasan, Hasan Akbar, and Timothy Hennis).

en.wikipedia.org

Background of the crimes and Conviction, Gray, a former Army specialist/cook assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, carried out a series of rapes and murders in the Fayetteville area in 1986–1987. Victims included soldiers and civilians.

He was convicted in both civilian and military courts:In North Carolina state court, he pleaded guilty to two murders and five rapes and received eight life sentences.

In a 1988 general court-martial at Fort Bragg, a panel unanimously convicted him of two premeditated murders, one attempted murder, three rapes, and related offenses. He was sentenced to death.

Military appeals (Army Court of Criminal Appeals, then Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces) upheld the conviction and sentence. The U.S. Supreme Court denied certiorari (around 2001).

Bush’s approval and the planned 2008 executionOn July 28, 2008, President George W. Bush approved the death sentence—the first such presidential approval for a military service member since the 1950s. The Secretary of the Army then directed that the execution occur by lethal injection at the Federal Correctional Complex in Terre Haute, Indiana, with a date set for December 10, 2008. This would have been the first U.S. military execution since 1961 (Army Pvt. John A. Bennett, by hanging).

politico.com

Federal court Stay on November 26, 2008—two weeks before the scheduled date—a federal judge in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas (Judge Richard Rogers) issued a stay of execution. This allowed Gray time to pursue further appeals via a habeas corpus petition under 28 U.S.C.

Trump made the correct decision on this. Hegseth was so gun ho for justice he got ahead of his skies. It happens...The live stream would have most likely given Hasan a delay tactic.

I actually don't disagree with what you're saying here. I think think it's piss poor presidential leadership and should be disqualifying, except that he possesses man's most potent weapon (ridicule) and beat everybody's arse with it.

And then release a pack of MIL Belgian Malnois to tear at his corpse, forever tainting his soul per his own religion as his body has been defiled by dogs.

Make the red MAGA hats autographed

quote:

---

An autographed red "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) hat signed by Donald Trump typically sells for $2,000 to $12,000+, depending heavily on the type of authentication and the platform.

Price Breakdown by Authentication and Listing

• Beckett or PSA Letter of Authenticity (LOA): Usually ranges from $2,000 to $3,500 (e.g., Beckett-authenticated hats around $1,999.99 via Walmart and PSA/DNA-authenticated caps around $3,449 on eBay).
• Special Inscriptions or Display Cases: Higher-end or specialized pieces with custom inscriptions can reach $5,999 to $10,000+ on platforms like eBay.
• Boutique / Collector Listings: Some certified COA listings on marketplaces like Etsy list around $11,875 to $11,987.
• Other Signatures (e.g., Antonio Brown): MAGA hats signed by sports or pop-culture figures rather than Trump sell for much less, typically around $89.95 (via Golden Autographs).

Key Factors That Affect Value

• Authentication: A trusted third-party certificate or letter of authenticity (COA/LOA) from major authenticators like PSA/DNA or Beckett Authentication Services (BAS) is required to command a high price. Unverified signatures carry a high risk of being fake and fetch a fraction of the price or are difficult to sell.
• Condition: A clean, unworn red hat with a bold, legible signature in black ink is worth significantly more than a worn or faded item.
