    They do this with whoever is president or influential at the moment.

    Newsweek trying to frame it as a sign of heightened political tensions in the US is deceptive and irresponsible. Mentioning the Charlie Kirk memorial is totally irrelevant, the band woulda done this anyway.

    This isn’t news, this is fire stoking and it should be deleted.

    My first thought before clicking on the article was, “Have they ever heard of GWAR?”

    Apparently not since they’ve definitely executed Musk before. As well as Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton, Hitler, multiple popes, and a variety of monsters and aliens.

      They had Brett Kavanaugh give Amy Coney Barret an abortion when I saw them, can’t recall if that was before or after Trump beheaded Biden before the band beheaded him in turn

    I saw Trump and Putin get eviscerated at a Gwar concert like 6 years ago. That’s what Gwar does. They’ve been taking the piss out of politicians and public figures for decades.

    Amazing, but it’s rude to call people you don’t like a “dummy”. Oh, it was like a mannequin? That’s far less good news.

    I knew it was GWAR without even reading the article. I saw them do this with Hitler and a few other political figures thirty years ago. What a groundbreaking article.

        Honestly I would have clicked for a sanity check if others hadn’t already confirmed.
