Concerning the disgusting imagery that is being displayed by the deplorables atm....

[Ferrets are Cool]

What the hell is different between showing the President hog tied and gagged in the back of a pickup and depicting him hanging from a tree or sitting bound in a chair and being shot in the head? ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHING!!
The asswipes with these images on their truck tailgates should be LOCKED up as dangerous.
This is NOT free speech.

1. Exactly

I think the sub-text is that Joe is being taken to a lynching. Not as an observer either.

The message was clear to me from the first time I saw that image.

2. Agreed My Friend

They know not of freedom or liberty or democracy or decency. They may think they are clever. They are not. They are proud of their ignorance and display that pride often.

3. Despise white wingers, but what I've seen so far, I think it would be a violation of

free speech to lock people up for these tailgate wraps. I’m sure there are symbols that are unacceptable, but we can buy similar symbols of trump hogtied (though none of us would).

Now, “too stupid or vile to drive” might work as a charge.

I think there is better criticism of trumpsters than this issue. Hell, Brandon could probably escape those ties like Houdini.

4. What is illegal

About hanging the likeness of a President from a tree?

5. Unless you DON'T think it's a threat...

6. It doesn't meet the legal threshold

It's been done to every President in my lifetime. Images of all kinds of examples are available with a quick search of the web. Nobody has been convicted, let alone charged.

7. My feelings too. But it is unusual for a former Prez to display such images. It's at least tacky.

[Zeitghost]

8. Agreed

It's disturbing to say the least.

9. Republicans have given new meaning to

the word tacky. They are so far beyond tacky.
