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 don't like saying this but I will forgo any of my liberal socialist ideals if Biden wants to do whatever it takes to get votes from republicans.
Edit: Man, you people are sad little trolls. Go spend some time out in the IRL world. It's genuinely depressing to see so many keyboard warriors spend their time regurgitating the talking points from the comfort of their echo chamber.
To clarify my meaning, whether you agree with my politics or not, I think Biden has been a far better president than anyone could have hoped for (possibly the best I can recall) but I still have a philosophical disagreement with him when it comes to protections and equity for all. I believe there are some programs that the federal government should run to give all Americans the best opportunities (education, healthcare, housing, UBI, etc) and I believe that taking excessive capitalist gains from the ultra wealthy is a small drop in the bucket to promote some fairness. I will lean back on these philosophical ideas which I've had little hope of a centrist of adopting and encourage him to lean further right if that means he can take some votes away from the inarguably worst president in modern times (yes, worse than Regan).
If you think Trump should be the leader of the US, that he some how represents or understands democracy, that he cares about you or the United States, that he's a good president or person, or is better than Biden in any regard, you and I are not existing in the same solar system so there's no point in arguing. I don't have anything against Republicans but the extreme and religious conservatives and the MAGA cult do not align with the freedoms dreamed by our founders or promised in the Constitution of the US.
When you totally know what words mean
When you don’t https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_socialism
This is just regular liberalism.
Were you born this fucking stupid or is it a conscious daily choice to fail yourself and everyone around you?
Oh no! Not wikipedia
Read a book lib
That's literally just regular liberalism but 'there should be some co-ops!' I.e., it's just liberalism.
Just complete gibberish, socialism's goal is the abolishment of capitalist property relations and worker ownership of the means of production
Liberalism in 99% of its political and theoretical formulations absolutely does not want those things, you're the definition of an opportunist and utopian idealist, further proved by the fact you're willing to sacrifice this make-believe ideology of yours in the hope of courting fascists
If things don’t turn around for him, he might have to lower himself to try to get votes from non-Republicans.
That's just polite fascism though? Oh! You are a liberal, got it.
Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds
In support of him or against him?
Ok, monkey's paw granted... he does a peace negotiation with Russia on Ukraine and then promptly declares a 2nd war, now on Mexico, Fentanyl, China, Venezuela, and Cuba, because why not?
I swear, y'all dems practice democratic centralism, don't ye? Freedom of thought, unity in action....
I don’t know why you’ve thrown fentanyl in there. Doesn’t everyone want to declare war on that? Otherwise, do republicans want war with these countries so much that they’d vote for Biden if he declared war with them (which a president is technically unable to do)?
Nobody with more than a handful of braincells thinks any drug war is a good idea, what the fuck is wrong with you
Here I thought anyone with a handful of brain cells was opposed to people dying from using tainted illicit drugs. I apologize for my assumption.
Perhaps substances would be less tainted if we didn't have the drug war policies?
Which drug wars were successful, genius?
Depends on your definition of success. If you mean at removing drugs from wide availability, none. If you define success as making the prison industrial complex obscenely rich by locking away a new class of slaves and absolutely fucking ruining their lives, all of them.
Why yes most everyone is. Which is why anyone with a handful of braincells are against war on drugs style policies. Because they do not work and produce far worse outcomes for society than the drugs themselves.
As I said before, fentanyl is a blurry line....
This would be a worthwhile comment in 1950. Today, it just looks like you are clinging to what your high school civics class taught you like it has any bearing on the world.
Idk, I mean it's something every republican detests.... even if they know how the first war on drugs's consequences.... (yk, fentanyl actually has broader medical use, specifically as a legal anesthetic and palliative care, so be wary when fishing the waters with it)
Yaasss, btw, I guess you haven't heard of hyperbole....
To add upon this, I've heard congress is the only power that can declare war... and, I mean, considering Republican mindset... you can easily get a bi-partisan approval for declaring war on one of those countries
Note: I guess you see me as a bad-faith arguer?

Yes. That's literally the point I've made. These are all better options than Trump. I don't know why this is so difficult for people to grasp.
And come on, "genocide" is a strong specific word and not what's happening in Gaza. There are mass casualties in an unjust attack on civilians. Just because something is indefensible and heinous does not at all mean it's literal genocide. There's an attack on locations where terrorists are presumed to be hiding. I'm not going to defend it but I'm not an Israeli who just suffered the worse attack on my country ever with my family held hostage underneath schools and hospitals.
I'm not supporting genocide nor am I supporting this war. I am suggesting that a slightly more right leaning democratic president is preferable over Donald fucking Trump.
This should not by any means be a controversial opinion outside the most braindead of cultists. How anyone could possibly suggest that Donald Trump is better than literally anyone else is absolutely not within my ability to comprehend. I would prefer someone like Warren or AOC but I would sooner vote for Desantis over Trump.

Israel is currently bombing Gaza to get hostages back.
You’re right and I’m thankful that people are finally seeing how horribly the Palestinians have been treated for generations. The Palestinians and the US should be helping Israel oust Hamas.
I said Destantis was better than Trump. He’s the second worst possible candidate I can imagine.

Cool.
Still, I’m voting for Biden over the guy who’s explicitly intent on overthrowing the US government. It’s not a choice I like but it’s the only logical one we have. I will stand beside you in opposition to this war but that does not mean I’m going to vote to obliterate democracy.
deleted by creator
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.
He said the line!!!! He said the line!!!!
definitely, voters caring very strongly about not doing genocide is why this democracy is falling apart.
The adults in the room are praying for the US to collapse and balkanise ASAP. Even if Biden wins, the best case scenario for the world is for the US to die. Even if the Dems win the next 10 consecutive elections in a row, the US deserves to die.
Your country is an experiment based on "Hey what if we don't want to pay taxes to the British but are ok with building on stolen land with slave labour for the purposes of (some) white guys getting the ability to get extremely rich???"
Its a failed experiment. The best argument against the existence of a just god is that your nation has not been smote out of existence by the hand of the divine.
Tomorrow, if every politician, businessman and government agent that dictates how your country is run got amnesia, and every reference and memory of your laws, your wretched constitution and how your government operates magically erased from existence, I have no doubt in my body that the ensuring nation(s) that spring up in its place will be not only better for the citizens, but better for the whole world.
It would have fewer children gunned down in places where they should be safe, fewer people dying from rationing insulin, fewer people selling their plasma just to not die from exposure, fewer minorities and family pets executed by agents of your government in the street, fewer citizens poisoned by plastic and lead in their water, and fewer people half a planet away murdered by your troops or your bombs.
A better future is possible, but it's not from festering like maggots the the corpse of your dying empire.
P.s.: Free Palestine.
I don’t disagree that the US is a failed experiment. Because Trump even has a chance to win another election is enough evidence of that.
THAT is what you think evidence is?
He's such a fantastic moron, I can't believe he's still going on such flimsy supports.
And he's not stopping
He even literally said "adults in the room"!
I need to find a good lib bingo card and see how many lines I can get off that peckerwood
You could fill the whole card three times by now
Yes. It points to our disregard for a proper social support system. Our freedoms and a free market economy trump the country’s best interests. The states have too much power while the nation lacks enough.
You should have led with that
Its still not that good lol
You would think the fact its founded on genocide, continues to support genocide, and runs an imperialist world order that exploits and impovershes the global south may be better evidence
I don't give a shit about amerikkka, fuck amerikkka
LMAO, cry about it more loser
Should be a new site tagline
Best presinald EVAR!!
Yep. Those things make me angry.
Not as angry as this asshole makes me https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/100-times-president-trump-supported-israel/
Joe Biden has been supporting Israel for 50 years. You aren't angry about Joe Biden's support for Israel. Shut the fuck up
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.
What you're experiencing isn't difficulty understanding our gymnastics. We're not doing any. Genocide is one of the most horrible and evil things humans can do, and Joe Biden is making it happen. Therefore voting for him is tantamount to doing one of the most horrible and evil things humans can do. You're having difficulty with your own gymnastics, twisting yourself up trying to justify why you're voting for a holocaust.
You’re seriously lacking context and historical events and rejecting everything we have learned about the other candidate. Remove head from ass, please.
lmao, back to pretending that your shitty opinions are a result of nuance and context.
If you've ever wondered what you would have done in Nazi Germany in the 30s, it's "support Hitler because socialists scared you".
And here's why I don't:
1000+ Black bodies, sent to the morgue by cops in this nation per year since 2012. This nation still lynches just as many Black folk as it did during Reconstruction, they just changed how it's done. Here's why I don't: prison slavery, for the Black folk who get lucky enough to not get murdered in the streets by sociopathic Anglo-Saxon (from here on: settler) 'police'. Here's why I don't: concentration camps at our southern border, for the refugees of Global Southern countries that we ruined in the first place by pumping them flush with guns and terrorists to depose leaders our sociopathic leaders 'don't like'. Here's why I don't: Tacit Amerikan support of genocide; in Donetsk, in Luhansk, in Libya, in Syria, in Afghanistan, in Palestine. Here's why I don't: You cosign all of it; you and all your other Democrat stoolies. You'd cosign it in Leningrad, Beijing, Havana, and Pyongyang too; if only you could reach.
Hell, you'd cosign it in Atlanta, in Chicago, in Minneapolis, and in Compton; and I KNOW YOU WOULD from the way liberals talk about the RICO-charged Cop City protestors.
Why the fuck would I want to save the country that enslaved my ancestors, imprisons my relatives where it doesn't kill them, and sits there and leers in my face with intent to gaslight me into believing they're not the enemy? Death to the settler; death to his empire.
Know what's really fucking sad and frustrating? Americans like you who care more about some nebulous concept of "America" that has never existed than Palestinian lives who are being brutally killed every single day using American weapons and with American support. That's pretty disgusting
You're a lib. You believe in nothing but your own comfort
LOL. That’s by far the stupidest thing I’ve read in this thread; and possibly this whole year.
Considering you posted this
I'll take that as a compliment
lmao if you can excuse genocide you definitely don't give a shit about "democracy"....which this country doesn't even have in the first place
oh God you are a being of pure racist imperialism
please die
If I'm to assume you are a grown adult, the way you argue with someone you label as a "genocide lover" is to wish death upon them?
See folks, this is the problem with cultists. They have no sense of reality. They live solely in their bubbles.
I'll have you know that I am not a one-issue voter. While I've always had concerns over Israel's treatment of Palestine and viewed Netanyahu as a hateful warmonger, I understand there are complex issues on the other side of the world which I have limited knowledge of based on reporting I seek out and trust. Which is to say, very few realities are black and white. You can be opposed to genocide and be in favor of retrieving hostages and be opposed to zionism while also supporting a government and military that stands in the way of total disaster and even greater loss of life in the region.
The world is complex. I'm sure your family or your job or your neighborhood is complex. I'm sure people have made assumptions about you and your life without proper context. Maybe someone hates you for a thing you did (granted, not genocide) but they don't know all the good things you've done or how much love is in your heart.
I can choose to re-elect a not-perfect US President that isn't someone who's running on a campaign to do all he can to dismantle the foundation of the country I'm a citizen of. I'm not the biggest fan of this country but we do at least have a president who's open to listening to the people. Do you think DT would listen and change his mind on anything that doesn't empower him?
That's a lot of words to say you're a genocide supporter
Removed by mod
I'm interested in saving as many innocent live as possible, which doesn't include those of genocide supporting libs like you
This isn't a game for us, this isn't just politics for us, we fucking hate you because you're acting like an inhuman monster devoid of any empathy as you support the ongoing mass starvation of children
You are absolutely seeing this as a game and not seeing the whole picture. If you weren’t you’d see that you can work to compel Biden to stop supporting this war while also acknowledging that Trump is an even greater supporter of Israel and threat to Palestine.
That's why groups are saying they won't vote for Biden dumbass - to compel him to stop supporting this genocide
You're the one treating it like a game because you think you can trade off on the lives of Palestinian children while simultaneously washing your hands of them.
You're disgusting you know that, let me say this more simply for you son, any vote for Biden is explicit support for genocide, end of story
There's no set of tortured apologetics that will wash off the blood, you better straighten yourself out motherfucker, cause you're a fascist and you don't even know it
There it is folks, this clown wants whitewash decades of colonialism and fascism so he can blame one bad guy just like he does with
and 
Nailed it! Every ill in the world for libs is always pinned on the one bad actor. The US or Isreal stay innocent in their minds, even though both are founded on settler colonialism and genocide

I am a one-issue voter, is the thing: I will not vote for a genocidal CRACKER. If the other genocidal CRACKERS that comprise this nation continue failing to find whatever morals they claimed to espouse all those years they were teaching me about the Holocaust, then they deserve whatever happens to them afterwards. These are not my peers, my countrymen, nor anyone I consider worth saving. You deserve to watch the erosion of all your ancestors' ill-gotten gains.
It’s safe to assume then that you’re not voting for Trump. That’s fine by me.
No offense, but
