    Every president before has given zero-fucks when criticized or joked about. Yet this orange kiddie-diddler lashes out uncontrollably and clearly can’t take a joke. How many times has he threatened to pull a channel’s broadcasting license over this. That some toxic fragile ego tiniest-dick energy.

    When I worked at WotC around 2010 my boss told me back in the 90s GWAR wanted to be their house band, and used to show up at the company regularly to make pitches.

      With the number of nerdy art students associated with the band, that does not surprise me. Other than the logistics between the two home bases (the Dairy Slave Pit in Richmond VA and WoTC in Seattle WA.

    I have seen GWAR: crucify the pope, disembowel George Bush, split Paris Hilton in half, rip babies out of protestors, shove a giant cross up a priest’s ass, chop off a skinhead’s head and throw it into a living toilet and stuff Henry Rollins into a giant meat grinder. Powerful fun. GWAR shows were the best. It’s cartoon violence. Even at it’s most patently offensive, it’s hilarious.

      If Trump had seen them chop off Obama’s head at Riot Fest like I did, he would be celebrating them and feeding them Arby’s at the White House.

      So like a Mola Ram C-section? I like GWAR a decent bit I guess but that doesn’t really seem to go with the others in the group just makes me wonder the context.

    I was an IA stagehand in the early 2000’s… NGL, the stage breakdown after a GWAR show was one of the stickiest, slipperiest, goopiest “outs” I’ve ever done. Not even the Lippizaner Stallions (and those horses are fed some weird food that makes their poop toxic, which is wild, since horse poop is the least offensive of any large animal) were as messy.

    GWAR puts on a highly theatrical, great show… If you get a chanct to see them… By all means… take it.

    Not surprised President Peevishness can’t handle the heat. So typical for the thin-skinned one.

      Seen them during the first election

      They killed Hillary, Trump, and Bernie

      Trump was naked and wearing a cartoon sack of money for clothes, Hillary was sick and kept vomiting blood, and Bernie was old, died first, and came back as a mutated super monster that tried to eat everyone and had to be killed

      The story, if you can call it that, was that Gwar were running for president of the universe and the only way to win was to kill your competition

        I like how Bernie clearly gets a bit more respect compared to the others. Like they’re clearly poking fun at him still but in a way where I feel like there’s no active malice involved.

        That sounds super awesome. I’m not really one to go to concerts and shit like this (disturbingly close to 40 now and a layabout) but that definitely seems like a sick AF show. Probably fun as hell

          GWAR concerts are always rad. The music is second to the actual show

          But you will get covered in fake blood (it’s pretty much just water) so wear a white shirt and if it’s cold outside, bring a change for the car

      “I was the one who told them to put a bag over your head. The secret service doesn’t do that, the CIA does, but not the secret service. I made them do that, and it was very cool and based.”

    They say they killed 4 decades worth of presidents and never got any call from secret service. I promise you, thats because Clinton was too busy getting laid and playing the saxaphone, Bush was too busy with 9/11, Obama was too busy breaking barriers and dealing with his own death threats, and Biden…honestly, Biden is so old I wouldn’t be surprised if he never had a clue what was going on around him.

    You think any of them give a fuck, or have even heard of GWAR?

    But I guarentee you, tRump was googling his own name, trying to find people praising him. Came across some entertainment story covering GWAR. So tRumps name came up as a death story. His little fee-fees got a boo-boo, and sent the literal secret service to deal with it.

    This is who we’re dealing with as our president.

    Hey, quick question. Honest question. Does anyone have any arguement to be made for how the united states shouldn’t officially be labeled as a fascist country?

      shouldn’t officially be labeled as a fascist country?

      There’s no ‘official’ registry of fascist states.

      To be clear, it’s still a fascist shit hole.

      the irony here is that Jerry Springer had a powerful hand in the degradation of society. his show (any many others like it) not only normalized societal breakdown but celebrated the the perpetrators that inflicted the most damage. he was, for all intention, one of the first new-age content creators that troll for engagement.

      his show educated a nation of children that it was acceptable to have unprotected sex and ignore your responsibilities. that the risk was acceptable to have sex with your family members. that the risk to lie, cheat, and steal was worth the benefits.

      again, not just him but many shows empowered people to make poor decisions with little to no impact.

      the old phrase was, “you are who your friends are.” I think it’s more adapt to use, " you are what you watch."
