Now this is what fragile masculinity looks like.

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.

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.

He also sent the secret service to interrogate Eminem. He’s such a pathetic baby.

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.

Gwar shows are a lot of fun so seconding this; go if you get a chance (and maybe bring a change of clothes).

Ahhh I miss IA. The only time in my life I was paid $1000 to stand around for three hours because the road crew forgot about us.

Hello stagehand! My dad was one. Good luck! Be safe!

One of the best concerts I've ever seen. Soooo much blood! And watching el presidente get disemboweled was rather neat

I dare Trump to go on stage at a Gwar concert. Even Jerry Springer did it.

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?

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 18 points 3 hours ago

I'm pretty sure "antifa labelled as terrorists and anti-American" is about as officially fascist as you're going to get.

Californian here. Regretfully, I have no argument. We'll get her back, but I have no doubt it will hurt

There's no 'official' registry of fascist states.

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