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.

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

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.
