1. Easiest poll ever

Of course I don't agree with torture, and I don't think it works anyway.

[spanone]

2. what he doesn't seem to understand is that it is ILLEGAL. the WORLD has deemed it ILLEGAL.

there are no alternative facts involved here.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

4. The Deplorables approve of it.

[spanone]

6. it's not their choice.

3. Kick this poll or it will sink.

I might be convinced to torture Republicans with assigned reading and reality recognition exercises. I have a mean streak.

[Equinox Moon]

14. NSA just captured your comment.

I just watched the Snowden movie this week, so it is fresh on my mind. The massive domestic spy apparatus is triggered by certain key words. With Du being anonymous, it helps us.

Oh, I also agree with you.

[rzemanfl]

20. Well if assigned reading is a crime I am fucked, right? n/t

[Cattledog]

5. tRumps endorsement of torture gives validation to

our enemies to do the same to our troops. It is also a violation of International law and puts tRump in War Criminal
territory.

[Delphinus]

7. If there had been

a "fuck no!", that's what I would have voted. As it was, it was a simple "no".

[HoneyBadger]

8. No torture, no death penalty, shrink military, legalize all drugs, no drilling, no pipelines

Focus all on climate change

[Raster]

9. Goood God NO!

Once again, the Orange Anus proves he lives in his own toxic little world.

TIRED OF THIS SHIT - LET'S IMPEACH THE MOTHERFUCKER!

[Solly Mack]

10. Who will hold him accountable?

Anyone that knows anything at all about me on DU knows precisely how I think about torture and those who engage in torture....and the lack of accountability.

[irisblue]

11. Trump is my enemy, I will not torture him. gross thought

[uppityperson]

12. Where's the hell no option?

[True Dough]

13. So allow me to ask

why is it wrong to torture enemies, presumably terrorists, but it's acceptable to punch a Nazi in the head?

The poll here makes it clear (27-0) as of this post, that few, if any, DUers advocate torture. But many DUers have emphatically condoned assaulting someone who is a self-professed Nazi.

Granted torture is more severe than a blow to the head, but a strike to someone's skull can result in unconsciousness and even death if they bounce their cranium off the sidewalk.

I oppose both measures, for the record, unless it's a matter of self-defense or intervening where someone else is being physically attacked.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

15. Is it okay to torture NAZIS ? No

[True Dough]

17. But a punch to the head

which could have long-term debilitative consequences depending on how hard it's thrown and where it lands, is acceptable?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

18. I have been punched in the head.

Torture would be several people punching you in the head at once.


Would punching a NAZI in the arm be appropriate?

[uponit7771]

19. We're don't want anything from Nazi's? tia

[NanceGreggs]

16. I am anti-torture.

However, I am FOR the psychological torture of certain people - like repeatedly Tweeting/posting that Trump's inauguration drew less than 10,000 people.

I understand that drives him even more crazy than he already is. Eventually, it will break him. I'm good with that.

[Wounded Bear]

21. Didn't support it then, don't like it now...

for a myriad of reasons.

[Fresh_Start]

22. I'm willing to do a controlled test...on Trump, Conway, Bannon....

and then we can assess the results.
