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.
Biden has funded a genocide and oversees an government which completely sold out to corporate interests, the military industrial complex, and the prison industrial complex. They watched big pharma kill thousands in the opioid epidemic. They bailed out the banks after the great financial crisis, while the middle class was left to die.
Every congress member relies on corporate funding for campaigns. They can literally hold stock in the companies they regulate. Those corporations' interests are completely opposite of the interests of the working class.
I couldn't care less if some feckless oaf posts a picture of a US figurehead in such a position.
Why do you shitlibs always make vague accusations instead of specifically enumerating the lies you perceive? You're all too cowardly to just say what you actually think because you know what you actually think is wet dogshit.
If you're not even capable of basic reading comprehension what are you even doing here
Genuinely, nobody gives a shit about your personal opinion on voting, not only has nobody asked you about it, it's incredibly rote and predictable. You claimed there were lies and exaggerations - quit dodging and address your accusation with specifics.
Libs never engage with specifics. That's why their favorite dodge is to claim something is "complicated" and "needs nuance"
Nothing on this list is specific to Biden's presidency.
So, when pressed over and over again to simply identify the "lies", the best you come up with is that it's all true but it's also true about other presidents?
Does anyone in your life take you seriously?
You may not get it now, but hopefully you will someday
but I personally hold my presidential candidates to a higher moral value than the rest of the public.
Just wanted to add, no you fucking don't, because you're willing to forgive Joe Biden for genocide. I wouldn't forgive the average person for that, but since you're fixated on Trump you're willing to vote for genocide.
being smug about being wrong is such a uniquely liberal trait
You claimed another user was lying. You dodged and dodged and dodged and finally decided to explain that their "lies" were omitting that other Presidents do the same shit. This is, you'll find, not lying.
You're a fucking clown and I am at this point absolutely certain that everyone in your personal life knows that you're a clown.Dude. I don’t know what broke you but, on planet earth, claiming that a person did a thing when it was not only not them but someone else is called lying.
You're really gonna be this stupid? If I say you posted on the internet, I'm a liar because so did millions of other people?
Holy shit man, log off and go look in a fucking mirror you joke.
'Cultist', nice perjorative you fucking weasel. Like y'all genocidal settlers don't call Trump's crazies the same thing. Nice equivalence.
I will forgo any of my liberal socialist ideals if Biden wants to do whatever it takes
This was you.
but I personally hold my presidential candidates to a higher moral value than the rest of the public.
This is you lying in light of what you said in that first quote.
Own your skullduggerous, chronically-lying settler-assed horseshit with your WHOLE CHEST.
Incorrect. Fundamentally incorrect. Fractally incorrect. Trump didn't let 61 Black protestors against the Cop City project that BIDEN drafted, funded, and adamantly stands by, get fucking federally RICO charged. If nothing's done about them, if they're not saved, they will ALL see prison chattel slavery internments of at least 15 years. Not a single Jan. 6th rioter got this treatment. I had more money in my pocket, and a better paying job under Trump. Meanwhile, under Biden, Indeed, Monster, even LinkedIn, all full of scams and fake jobs and if I'm ever unemployed for two years again despite sending out 20 applications a day AND having credentials and degrees out the nose, I'm gonna start chalking outlines of my own.
While we're on the subject of Genocide Joe and his manifold fuckups, Biden just sent/promised 18 billion USD worth of jets and ordnance to Israhell again this morning. Biden's not preferable. He was never preferable, in fact; now he's just wearing his armband JUST as flagrantly as Trump did, will, and probably will again because you people have no interest in actually performing the morals you claim, as a result, no interest in making Biden EARN IT.
There is no way for us to reconcile; no aisle to meet in the middle of. I will not support a genocidal segregationist; especially not a genocidal segregationist who is making NO tangible improvements to the material conditions that the non-elite of this society live under. Death to the settler. Death to his empire.
Show
I won’t get into how the economy is actually the best it’s been in 40 years
Then where are the jobs, peckerwood? Why did it take me two and a half years to land a job with all my accreditation? Why is my partner STILL unemployed despite THEIR search? Why is a week's worth of groceries 300 dollars? Why am I spending nearly as much on gas? Why are houses so prohibitively expensive that I'll be renting a flat literally all my life? Why are used cars the cost of what new cars were ten years ago? You're so full of shit, when they flush you out for your coffin fitting, you'll fit in a goddamned matchbox.
I won’t get into how the economy is actually the best it’s been in 40 years
Oh wow i knew we were dealing with a turbo
smuglord, but damn thats ideology so pure that Zizek would OD 
He's such a fantastic moron. Dollars to donuts this guy's only 'engagement' with this country's financial woes is through Fortune, Forbes, and FT.
if you want to claim that grocery prices are fine, you are way to comfortable that i cant even imagine it. No one saying the "economy" is fine knows what the fuck they're talking about in terms of the majority of peoples experiences right nowMf probably buying at Trader Joe's talm bout "this is the best economy in 40 years
Show"
I know that the vast majority of grocery prices have come back to normal... These prices are likely not going to go down.
Then this is not the 'best economy we've had in forty years' you absolute car exhaust addict. Thanks for proving my point for me. Your only stock in trade is lies, more lies, and pissing on my leg tryna tell me it's raining. Death to the settler; death to his empire. Even balkanization is better than this.
don’t know how the economy is measured
please get out your calipers and measure the economy for me oh learned master
"the economy" isn't a thing and you don't measure "the economy"
purchasing power is way down and people are falling into povertyFuck off, genocider. You don't measure for the people; you're measuring for your masters. Your numbers, your 'reality', is not mine or anyone's that I live near. Your words, your measurements, and your claimed morals are just as hollow as the rest of the settler cohort's; you no longer deserve, and are no longer invited to hold dialogue with me.
your exaggerations and lies
Own your dogassery with your whole chest
I’d ecstatically take four more years of this
Watch out, you're forgetting about the "crypto" part of being a cryptofascist
Its literally the same picture except one is tinted blue and the other is tinted red.
i went and looked for the image ... to uh.. confirm if true or not
it's "just" trump showing a truck parade and one of the trucks has it as a large sticker/decal
Show
‘Just’
normalising this is part of the problem. It isn’t ‘just’ a video of two trucks.
Ummm ackshully it doesn't say that in the parmesantarian's Big Book Of Fucking Over American People so three pinocchios for you!!!one
It is normal. Trump supporters have been like this since 2016. Right wing cranks existed way before that.
Right, this shit has already been normalized. We ought to be concerned with how to deal with it.
It's "just" a video of two trucks, given what the headline claimed.
When I first read the headline, I figured the image would be a kinda jank AI generated picture of Biden bound and gagged. Like... The headline makes it seem like that's the focus of Trumps post.
But it isn't. The focus of the image are the trucks adorned with Trump memorabilia. That's the thing he cares about in this case. The presence of the Chud Tailgate Murder Fantasy is incidental.
And for that matter, what do you mean "normalizing"? This shit is already normal. That's the problem.
The presence of the Chud Tailgate Murder Fantasy is incidental.
Tagline NOW
It's literally just a video of two trucks? Do you notice anything out of the ordinary with them? Because most of us aren't experts on trucks, and frankly it's extremely uncivil to gatekeep your knowledge.
okay
i edited my comment to better fit what you said please lmk if there's any other problems with it so i can edit those too
thank you for the effort you provide to really fight the good fight i couldn't do this without you thank you for helping me i can't belive i normalized it thank you you helped me thank you
I saw one in my hometown last summer. It's not new or exciting. Some people got together and decided Truck nuts weren't trashy enough
That man has the attention span of a goldfish, probably didn't even watch it to that point, just saw the Trump flags and then the ego forced a repost
violent images
I hate to be the one to tell you this, Seattle Times, but this is fetish content.
the latest example of the Republican candidate’s use of increasingly violent rhetoric and imagery this campaign season.
Unlike Biden's non-violent rhetoric of "Israel has every right to defend itself" when people confront him with the fact he's actively funding a genocide.
lol anyone who doesn’t think a tailgate piece that makes it look like you got the president tied up in the bed of your truck is funny sucks.
Its weird, right?
Democratic Party People and liberals will constantly SCREAM about how the "right wing", Republicans, and conservatives are an existential threat while pointing to this stuff as proof.
But will instinctively reach for pearls to clutch instead of a gun.
liberal socialist
When you totally know what words mean
Were you born this fucking stupid or is it a conscious daily choice to fail yourself and everyone around you?
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.
but I will forgo any of my liberal socialist ideals
In support of him or against him?
if Biden wants to do whatever it takes to get votes from republicans.
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....
Doesn’t everyone want to declare war on that?
Nobody with more than a handful of braincells thinks any drug war is a good idea, what the fuck is wrong with you
Perhaps substances would be less tainted if we didn't have the drug war policies?
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....
fentanyl actually has broader medical use, specifically as a legal anesthetic and palliative care, so be wary when fishing the waters for fighting the war against the drugs...
if he declared war with them (which a president is technically unable to do)
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.
I don’t know why you’ve thrown fentanyl in there. Doesn’t everyone want to declare war on that?
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)
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)?
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?
The adults in the room
He said the line!!!! He said the line!!!!
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.
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 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
Our own country is literally falling apart, not due to war but because people keep voting on one issue they currently feel strongly about.
definitely, voters caring very strongly about not doing genocide is why this democracy is falling apart.
I guess Americans just don't give a shit about America anymore.
I don't give a shit about amerikkka, fuck amerikkka
And it's really fucking sad and frustrating.
LMAO, cry about it more loser
I guess Americans just don't give a shit about America anymore. And it's really fucking sad and frustrating.
Should be a new site tagline
Joe Biden has been supporting Israel for 50 years. You aren't angry about Joe Biden's support for Israel. Shut the fuck up
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.
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".
I guess Americans just don’t give a shit about America anymore. And it’s really fucking sad and frustrating.
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
I will stand beside you in opposition to this war
You're a lib. You believe in nothing but your own comfort
That’s by far the stupidest thing I’ve read in this thread
Considering you posted this
I guess Americans just don't give a shit about America anymore. And it's really fucking sad and frustrating.
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
Netanyahu
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
That's a lot of words to say you're a genocide supporter
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 can work to compel Biden to stop supporting this war
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
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.
What liberals fundamentally fail to grasp is that no amount of appeasement of the "center right" will be enough. No amount of Joe Biden murderous reactionary border enforcement or unabashed collaboration in the zionist genocide will be enough for the reactionary forces. The liberals cede ground for nothing, throwing away the lives of those they see as subhuman anyway, and the reactionaries just adjust their positions to be even worse and continue braying for blood as if nothing happened.
no analysis, only war
