Former president Donald Trump disseminated on social media on Friday an image of President Biden with his hands and feet tied and his mouth gagged, the latest example of the Republican candidate’s use of increasingly violent rhetoric and imagery this campaign season.

The image can be seen about halfway through a 20-second video that Trump posted on his Truth Social site. The post says it was recorded Thursday on Long Island, where Trump traveled this week to attend a wake for a recently killed police officer.

In the video, two trucks decorated with giant Trump flags and altered American flags are driving on a highway. On the tailgate door of one of the trucks is the image of Biden lying horizontally, bound and gagged.

Trump has a history of sharing and promoting violent images featuring his perceived enemies.

I just... it's hard to wrap my head around the gymnastics you all are doing here.

War is always bad. I don't support any war at all, even if it's declared by someone I support.

Because I have some knowledge of what has happened in the region over the past fifty years and more, I would sooner vote for Biden than Trump. Trump is also a zionist and many times more supportive of Netanyahu's hateful warmongering than Biden or any other US president has ever been. We can be opposed to some of a person's actions while also celebrating all the good things they've done. I have always been opposed to Biden as president because of the things he did as a senator in the 90s. And don't get me started on his age and the threat of Harris being president. Still, he's what we've got now.

Regardless, I don't know why people keep changing the subject to this war. This war or the other war have nothing to do with our courts or our freedoms or our education system or our healthcare or our polluted environment. Our own country is literally falling apart, not due to war but because people keep voting on one issue they currently feel strongly about. This is why our congress is so polarized and failing to get anything done. Voting Trump into office is going to be the end of democracy. His own former cabinet members are urging people not to vote for him. Hard core conservative judges are afraid of what he' going to do. people not to vote for him. The adults in the room are looking at The United States of America and begging its citizens to save the country.

You all need to get your heads out of your asses and take a look at your own front yard. This is an extremely dire election year.

I guess Americans just don't give a shit about America anymore. And it's really fucking sad and frustrating.

Joe Biden has been supporting Israel for 50 years. You aren't angry about Joe Biden's support for Israel. Shut the fuck up

[–] oxjox@lemmy.ml 0 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Every (modern) president has been supportive of Israel. We’ve been sending them billions every year for 50 years. Biden isn’t going to fix this and Trump will without doubt be immeasurably worse.

Everyone here keeps claiming I like Biden. I started this whole thing by saying I would I sooner support a Biden I dislike even more before I would support Trump. I don’t know why it’s difficult to grasp disliking one person and disliking another person even more and choosing the better of two evils. This is a very basic concept. Although, to be honest, as much as I dislike Biden for so many thing's he's done or hasn't done, I have to admit he has far exceeded anyone's expectations. I don't like him but I respect the job he has done.

Have people just forgotten that we had a President Trump? That he was impeached twice. That he’s a convicted sex assailant. That he set into place increased taxes for the middle class. That he manipulated our legal system and seated the most conservative judges ever across this country. That he tried to interfere with our election and overturn the results. That he has brought unwarranted doubt to our electoral process. Republicans and conservatives are trying to take this guy down. I can not imagine how horribly evil or brain dead someone must be to consider this guy.

Your support is collaboration, you fucking dog. You are complicit. The blood is just as thick across your hands, you ABSOLUTE genocidaire. This is no longer dialogue; you need not post a reply. This is merely condemnation at this point.

You've proven my point, you talking about how much you respect a genocidal Zionist tells us all we need to know about how "angry" you are. Eat shit you genocidal worm.
