Who is America?

President-elect Biden is the anti-Trump who promises to restore dignity to American politics.

Why would a US president in the last weeks of his administration want to start executing federal prisoners at a furious pace, even as he pardons four American mercenaries who murdered 14 Iraqi civilians in cold blood? The federal government has killed 10 men already this year—more judicial killings than in all of America’s states combined. Three more executions remain to come before Donald Trump leaves office next month—one for a murder committed when the condemned man was barely 18 years old, and one the first woman put to death by the federal government in 70 years.
