Donald Trump shares horrific photo of bloodied corpse to attack rival Nancy Pelosi

Source: Metro

The President of the United States shared a photo of a man’s body draped over a metal fence on Monday morning. The image is apparently that of an anti-government protester killed in Iran.

Metro has chosen to pixelate the image, which is too disturbing to share uncensored as President Trump did.

The original tweet which Trump shared said:

‘Question: Who in America supports this mullahs’ crime? ‘Answer : Nancy Pelosi #NancyPelosiFakeNews #IranProtests2020 #IranPortests’ (sic)

Asshole is claiming that because our side opposes the way he chose to commit an unlawful execution of a foreign government official, that means we support that foreign government's unlawful executions of their civilians.

It's deplorable logic at it's worst.

I don’t agree with it, but I get it. It’s like when people were talking about how some human rights violations may have happened with the death of bin Laden, others would retort with pics of the WTC on fire. “This is the work of the man you’re concerned for” kind of thing. Soleimani was responsible for the deaths of US service personnel. He was also responsible for the deaths of hundreds or thousands of Iranians during protests.
Like I said, I don’t agree with trump’s “reasoning”, just trying to wrap my head around it.

Glad someone can Read Trump's Mind. Should be a hashtag.

He tweeted a photo of a bloodied corpse to the Speaker of the House. A woman! Classy, not.

Not sure what kind of message that sends. Or maybe he's feeling snowflaked by impeachment.

I’m just saying I understand the mindset. And in other circumstances, I might agree with the argument. I wouldn’t shy away from sending something like that to Pelosi. She’s not a delicate flower. She’s a person with a lot of power. And the message is that “this person who’s killing you’re up in arms about was a terrible human, and has killed a lot of people. Too bad HIS victims (in this case, people protesting for freedom against an authoritarian theocratic regime) didn’t have you looking out for them.”
Just like if someone was angry about the execution of Timothy McVeigh. You show them the ruins of the federal building he bombed. You show them the picture of the firefighter holding the baby that died. You try to shame them into joining your side.
It is, at its heart, a manipulative and dishonest argument. A straw man attack. But it’s effective.

pics of dead Kurds, Puerto Rican death stats and him throwing paper towels at them, and kids in cages, with death stats on refugees in custody.

But we also need to directly refute his lies about dead Iranians. Distinguish between opposition to his unprovoked attacks and support for Iran's crimes. Perhaps counter with Saudi murders and Trump's support of them. Or Trump's support of Duterte's murders. Or his love for the North Koreans who caused the death of an American student.

People don't realize that his use of twitter is what gives him a bludgeon to keep the republicans in line. If he didn't have that, they would not fear his cheap attacks so much. We might have some splintering in that party that would allow for a fair impeachment trial in the Senate.

Letting him abuse the TOS like he does is a disgrace. He makes a fool out of himself and of the United States every day.

Who would be a good person to head up this campaign? I am thinking someone with celebrity status, like Bette Midler.

There was a world before Twitter and the only way to get Twitter to listen/change/follow their own rules is to have a mass boycott. Same as facebook but too many are addicted. So. Fucking. Wrong.

Of the rivers of blood that will eventually flow copiously as his agenda advances. It is getting more obvious and we should be seeing more verbal references to his incredible hatred and increasing lust for violence now.

Obviously, we have to either get this madman with his lust for power away from the wheel, or we have some very dark and gruesome days to come. I don't see a compromise here. When you know that his goal is complete power, what else would you expect? It is so bad, that he could very well take everyone and everything down with him should his strategy fail.

it's entered into the Congressional Record in plain, unedited view for all to see forever.

If a president is allowed to publish something this vile on media that can be seen world-wide in the blink of an eye (including to millions of children around the globe with smart phones), then he should be shamed and censured in public with a demand for a public apology.

Trump seems to want Twitter to serve him in two incompatible ways: both as a venue for making official government proclamations and for posting vile content one might see inked on a shithouse wall.

He has it all, greed, evil, stupid. He likes to brag but the reality is he inherited 55 Million from Daddy and managed to go bankrupt. Of course he is also morally bankrupt.

I think he is consistently bleeding non far right folks, particularly women, especially College educated women.

We pick the right ticket and run a strong campaign.....and remain vigilant in watching for malfeasance.....and we should oust him and hopefully see him soon in a Jumpsuit matching his skin color.

Just getting back to some kind of normal will be a relief.
