Who was the last us president beheaded and burnt by gen public even if it was just a doll?

Disagree, the media just like to paint it that way.

I think that Bob Dylan has a lot to answer for ...

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
The battle outside ragin'
Will soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'

Ban him for inciting violence.

Unlike the POTUS, he is warning the senators and congressmen about impending violence.  He was also foreseeing a leftist movement rather than right wing insurrectionists - times they are a-changing indeed!

Love it! Because of a Dylan song in the 60s, Trump should be allowed to use Twitter to mobilise his mob. That makes a lot of sense 

By the way, this is another great example of the right-wing victim strategy. They’re perfectly happy to condemn Kathy Griffen over her bloody head routine, First Amendment be damned. They clutched their pearls while complaining that this would endanger the life of the President. They managed to extract an apology but Kathy Griffen had to flee the country anyway. But when Trump incites violence which kills 5 people, they then say Kathy Griffen did it so Trump should be allowed his freedom of speech. Great logic there.

After all, cancel culture is only allowed when right-wingers are wielding it as a weapon. We’ve seen it over here regarding Abdul-Magied’s Anzac Day tweet. She must have laughed when she read stories about the investigations into cold-blooded murder by the SAS.

Interesting, thats the same sort of language that I see Trump banned from Twitter.

Inferred meaning seems to be the problem to me, but thats just what I see.

Very different language in Dylan’s protest song to what was said by the POTUS and his henchmen directly to crowd to incite insurrectionist.

Rudy Giuliani:  “Let’s have trial by combat.”

Eric T-rump: “Have some backbone. Show some fight. Learn from [the POTUS] and we need to march on the Capitol today.”

After urging supporters to attend with “Be there. Will be wild!”, the POTUS’s remarks included:

“Republicans are constantly fighting like a boxer with his hands tied behind his back. It’s like a boxer. And we want to be so nice. We want to be so respectful of everybody, including bad people. And we’re going to have to fight much harder. …

“We’re going to walk down to the Capitol, and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women, and we’re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them, because you’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength, and you have to be strong.”

“When you catch somebody in a fraud, you are allowed to go by very different rules.”

“We will never give up. We will never concede. It doesn’t happen. You don’t concede when there’s theft involved. Our country has had enough. We will not take it anymore, and that is what this is all about. And to use a favorite term that all of you people really came up with, we will stop the steal. …

You will have an illegitimate president. That is what you will have, and we can’t let that happen. These are the facts that you won’t hear from the fake news media. It’s all part of the suppression effort. They don’t want to talk about it. They don’t want to talk about it. …

We fight like hell, and if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.”

“Now it is up to Congress to confront this egregious assault on our democracy. And after this, we’re going to walk down, and I’ll be there with you. … We are going to the Capitol, and we are going to try and give — the Democrats are hopeless, they are never voting for anything, not even one vote, but we are going to try — give our Republicans, the weak ones, because the strong ones don’t need any of our help, we’re try — going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country.”

During the occupation of Congress, the POTUS tweeted:

“These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever!"

Twitter removed the POTUS’s video because:

“This is an emergency situation and we are taking appropriate emergency measures, including removing President Trump's video. We removed it because on balance we believe it contributes to rather than diminishes the risk of ongoing violence.“

An appropriate response in my opinion.

It will be interesting to see how the impeachment for inciting insurrection and the prosecutions being prepared for similar offences proceed.  That should sort out what was inferred and what was meant.

I bet you, that the majority of respondents here are painting me as a Trump supporter.  I am not.  I don't really care, I choose my position to keep the bastards honest, as per a previous Aussie PM.
