Avi K: Trump has been credibly and publicly accused of sexual assault by over 20 women. As in the case of Bill Cosby, when you have these many allegations, there is little change they are false. Biden and Harris may have had some misconduct but it’s nothing compared to Trump’s history.

Noahides or the king may technically be allowed to use the death penalty for anything (if necessary to perfect the world) but of course the ideal is the Torah system with all its procedural safeguards and restrictions, which execution in only rare circumstances, and according to one opinion in the Gemara, only once in 70 years. Many countries in the world have extremely low crime rates (and low incarceration rates!) and no death penalty, so experience shows it’s not necessary.
