    I have two questions in regards to how this is going to play out that has nothing to do with politics..

    1. Did Jon Tester or anyone on his staff know about/approve the image on this print? Regardless of his position on it, if he likes it or not, etc. I just can't believe his campaign would have thought putting this poster in circulation was a good idea if they had the chance.  I want to be a fly on the wall of that PR person's office today....

    2. It makes me really sad that PJ has made front page national news over this, and no doubt it's going to get even more attention in the next couple of days, but no big news source will touch the story of how they just raised $11,000,000 for homeless people.

    Has anyone come out asked the obvious?

    How do you know who the corpse is?

    I love it when PJ pisses people off.  Awesome poster after an awesome show.  Love John Tester in the tractor flying overtop the mayhem on a John Deere
    :lol:

    Read one article where some “fans” are already turning on the band.  GOOD riddance. Don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out.

    Its a “violent” poster and displays horrible “extremism”.  Conservative snowflakes are uniting 
    Gimme a break

    Regardless of your position, this is front page national news at this point. It's going to get ugly.
    Only on Faux News.

    I agree with this, it is a bit hypocritical. 

    This doesn’t mean I agree with how the president has spewed hatred. But if you’re against what he is doing, which I’m sure most of us here do, matching it with more hatred is not how to go about. Just my opinion. 
    To me, depicting some sort of violent act towards the president would be over the line and very hypocritical.

    This was art and symbolism.  I don't see the art showing hatred or violence so much as the aftermath of a trainwreck of electing a morally corrupt reality star as a president.

    My daughter and I were just discussing this.  We never once thought that was Trump being eaten by the eagle until now.

    In all honesty, the blue suit and the red tie seem to suggest it is Trump... but the dead guy is nowhere near as fat as Trump.

    Art is impulsive and we're all hypocrites at times. Watch the DTE video again and juxtapose that against appearing at a fundraiser for a guy droning weddings. If you put any artist's work under intense scrutiny, you'll always find some contradictions.

    I gotta say....overall I like the theme of the poster. I’m not a fan of the dead trump. Wouldn’t like it if it was a dead obama either.  But that’s about it, I don’t like it...but I know it’s just art. But I do wish they hadn’t put that on the poster. Maybe substitute Kap kneeling instead :)

    If you see any comparison between what Kaepernick is trying to do & what Trump is trying to do...... yikes.
    I don’t. No idea how you got that. It’s just another anti-trump image that isn’t so morbid. 

    Seriously, how in the hell did you get that from my post?



    Because you suggested substituting Kaep for Trump. It's not that illogical of a conclusion based on what you wrote.
    He suggested Kaep protesting, not his decaying corpse

    I still fail to see how an athlete protesting social injustice could replace Trump's image on this poster and still work with the theme.

    Anyone think this may cause some protests around Wrigley this weekend?
    There were some very well armed (military rifles) security outside of the stadium in Missoula. Made me wonder if there were some threats made.

    Gee, never thought of it this way
    If it was Obama instead of Trump, no one would bat an eyelid.  Because it is Trump, it's an outrage.
