awesome poster.

The same outfit that still allows Sirius XM Fly to play R Kelly? Or Pop2K to play Chris Brown? So on and so forth...

Go ahead fuckers...go right the fuck ahead.

Is Trump actually supposed to be dead on the poster? It looks like his head is up and he’s trying to crawl away. 

No. 

It's not a vulture trying to find some lean muscle tissue... it's an eagle- symbolic of America- not letting him run off after the damage he's done.

That’s why I was saying he’s an undead zombie, but still going after the Russian  cash.

I wanted this poster the moment I saw it, the message is so poignant and it's really cool looking + Jeff's contribution.
I was hoping to be able to pick one up but now that it's blown up, I'm afraid it will be a white whale unless I want to drop a bundle.
For those who were lucky enough to get one at the show... congrats!!  

These are selling for over $500 now. They were going for $90 on ebay yesterday lol. They'll come back down to earth after the craze wears off. Nobody wanted it until it hit the news. Plus who knows, maybe a few will hit the store when they stock the leftovers. I really want one as well and am kicking myself for not buying it for under $100 when i had the chance yesterday. Figured i could just grab one down the road and not spend the $$ now. Oh well.

Yep.  I actually had one last night for $89 and backed out on the thought that i was being an idiot.  Figures.  Oh well, you win some and you lose some.

Interesting that Tester disavowed the poster.

Never mind.

I checked the image out closer. He's a dead guy in some way. That would also explain the dramatic weight loss.

I’m going to be at wrigley with my homemade nutsack vulture sweatshirt on.  Hope it gets a laugh or two.

I like the poster and I want one.  Doesn’t bother me a bit.  I do wonder how tester’s camp must be feeling about the whole thing though.  It’s obvious from Jeff’s quote that he had a bunch of ideas he gave to the artist who drew it up and “killed it” as Jeff said, but I don’t think Jeff or Tester knew what the print would look like until the rough draft got sent to Jeff.  I wonder if Tester ever saw it at all?  As far as politicians go, any publicity is probably good, but I bet they’re a bit shaken?

I have been looking for a comment by Tester or his campaign but haven’t found one yet. Can’t wait to see what eventually comes out. Politically, probably the safest thing for him to say is something along the lines of “while I don’t agree with the imagery, I fully support their right to express their artistic vision and political views blah blah blah..”, but it would be fantastic if he actually comes out in support of it. 

Found this in the article from the AP and here's the link: https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/republicans-blast-pearl-jam-poster-burning-white-house-163608901.html?soc_src=social-sh&soc_trk=tw

Tester officials said the campaign had nothing to do with the poster.

"We never saw the poster before the show and we don't like it," Tester spokesman Chris Meagher said. "And we don't condone violence of any kind."

Tester had to do that.  PJ put him in a bad position.

Disappointing but hardly surprising.  I’m sure he called Jeff and said “sorry man, I gotta do this. All my advisors are telling me it’s bad PR”.
It’s too bad but politics is a game and he has to play. 

ZeldaZonk

Yeah, you're probably right. I'm sure he was on the hook to say something negative about it. Someone was pulling the puppet strings so to speak.

Ha ha I think he has. I saw a link on Twitter but I didn't dare click on it and fall prey to his bait.

Or a good position if you know the code.

He did the only thing he could as a politician, distance himself from danger.  He’s uninvolved if he just plays dumb.

Bad time to mention that Canahoda/Britain actually burned down the White House in 1812? 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burning_of_Washington

Keeping things in perspective, this just an artist's rendering of what Trump is doing to America. It is a criticism of him, not of the country or its people. It is not advocating any violence (as has been reported by some right leaning "news" agencies), in fact it is doing the opposite...it is encouraging the people to take back their country by exercising their right to vote on November!

Fucking Canadians! And dont get me started on the British!

Fuck Tester. What a coward not to stand up for his "friend" that did so much to get him elected then re-elected. Typical Washington fraud.
