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 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.
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.
Perhaps substances would be less tainted if we didn’t have the drug war policies?
As I said before, fentanyl is a blurry line…
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.
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?
