Pearl Jam stopped being edgy about 20 years ago, and now they’ve completely jumped the shark of originality by calling for the death of President Donald Trump.
To promote a fundraising concert for Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) at the University of Montana, Eddie Vedder’s group of virtual has-beens commissioned a poster featuring a bald eagle picking at the skeletal remains of Trump in front of a burning White House, along with a bevy of other cliche imagery:
Also depicted in the image are Jon Tester and his Republican opponent, “Maryland Matt” Rosendale, who has a lobster claw for a hand and waves a Maryland flag. Tester is portrayed heroically leaping over the nightmarish scene in a tractor, Evel Knievel-style. A scruffy hillbilly in the bottom left corner holds what appears to be a U.S. Constitution with a “2nd” visible, referencing the Second Amendment. The macabre image is framed by the giant initials of the band: “P” and “J.”

The poster, which Rosendale called “reprehensible,” was a collaboration between Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament and artist Bobby Draws Skullz. Ament is a longtime friend and supporter of Tester’s, and Pearl Jam has been frequently associated with Tester’s campaigns. Unsurprisingly, Tester has not responded to requests for comment about the poster.
Again: it’s become unfortunately cliche for celebrities to call for the death of Trump. However, the Pearl Jam poster could complicate Tester’s already shaky re-election bid. Trump carried Montana by a whopping 20 points in 2016, and Tester previously drew the ire of the president when he claimed that Rear Adm. Ronny Jackson, Trump’s nominee for VA secretary at the time, had a habit of handing out prescriptions “like candy” to soldiers.
Indeed, Trump still has a positive approval rating in Big Sky Country. If Tester doesn’t want to test his constituents, he might do well to apologize for the poster.

If it weren’t for President Obama we might not have done the intelligence community assessment that we did that set up a whole sequence of events which are still unfolding today including Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation. President Obama is responsible for that. It was he who tasked us to do that intelligence community assessment in the first place. CLAPPER’S OWN CONFESSION

The Very Illiterate Democrats every day grow more and more Illiterate! Do they not have Brains enough to know by posting such Trash as what this group came up with last night! Do they not know that each day they continue to try and destroy our President! That all they are doing is helping the real Patriot Democrats that are still True Americans are Dropping out of the Democratic Party! With every threat that is made against the only President that has had the Back Bone to stand against the Crooked Politicians that have been for many years sponging off the American working peoples! They have been Breaking the Constitutional Laws ! They are trying to make there Positions Career Positions! Where the Constitution states this is not to happen! Not to mention that all these people that have lost there minds! And would rather live under a dictator ship do not have any idea what they are actually doing! Most of them have never been to see the actual way people have to live under such a regime! which they will learn they have no Freedoms in one of these Regimes! Are these Liberal idiots that are socialist communist people so down right Stupid that they would give up there way of life in a free country! To have to live in a country where they are not allowed to think for them selves! Even to the point they are told when to take a crap or go in there clothes! Are these so called used to be Americans really this ignorant?
Democrat party and their sheeple are Insane Asylum candidates.Not mentally fit to be dog catchers even.How can supposedly sane people be that mentally twisted or insane?Democrats are a SCROOGE
Do ya expect anything else but but this kind of crap from the democrats?
Is this not a crime? Remember when the clown at a rodeo donned the mask of Obozzo? He was crucified and fired never to be heard from again. He was a comedian and not being nasty.
Imagine if you will …IF this was a depiction of Obozo…the media would be screaming “Racism” till the midterm elections
These Trump haters are disgusting. This should never happen in America. Presidents come and go. Get over the fact that your choice didn’t get elected.To go to such extreme to show your disrespect for a sitting President, shows the moral decay this Country is in. Go climb back into your sewers, under your rocks,or put in a straight jacket, because normal human’s don’t act like this, so you must be deranged, or insane !!!
Agree!
Someone left the Jam out. Mold grew on top. Tester will not be served Jam on his burnt toast.
Pearl Jam…..hmm if I were playing the game of Dead or Alive, I would have guessed dead. Yawn.
I claim to be a Christian man but when I consider the issues the democrats are fighting for or supporting I can’t help but to think this is the lowest of the lowest of any species that walks this earth. I even hate being in the same room with this filth…. God forgive me but they are murdering or supporting their rights to murder the most innocent of all life in the womb. They have no consciousness whatsoever….
I lost any interest I might have had in Hurl Cram way back in the mid-90’s when I found out two things about the band: #1, they played a concert somewhere to raise funds to protect the habitat of some endangered frog (now, that in and of itself isn’t really a bad thing and would not on its own turn me off towards a band). #2, they came out in support of abortion. Those two hypocritical things combined told me all I needed to know about them. Worthless trash who placed far more value on the lives of frogs (and other animals) than on the lives of unborn human children. In light of that history, this poster really isn’t all that surprising to me. Tasteless and hateful, yes – surprising, no!
Pearl Jam is what liberals put on their s##t sandwich’s. Oh yeah, I forgot, liberals don’t like bread. So, who cares what a band who has no current music does? This is the same thing Omorosa is doing, raising a stink to sell books/albums(for PJ). And this poster, when I first saw it, reminded me of Obooma and his “Hope” poster, which again, reminded me of Hitler. So, maybe PJ needs to write songs about Hitler and how he treated the Jews with respect.
What the hell is the matter with these lunatics. Don’t they get paid to work and run our government? Doesn’t seem to be much of that going on these days. If politicians have time to do this ludicrous stuff they need to resign, give up their pensions and go home.
Eddie Vedder and Pearl Jam can go to liberal hell. I used to love you guys but now you suck….
I find those people, Tester, Pearl Jam, etc. to be disgusting, immature, and very basically ignorant. If they are so unhappy with this country, they should leave. Indeed, I would encourage the military to gather them up, emplane them and drop them off in Africa, almost anywhere would do.
I have the satisfaction that one day when God stamps your ticket, Pearl Jam will find the fire a lot hotter where they are going to end up. Eagles don’t eat human carrion only buzzards do along with the bugs and worms. You just predicted your own future. Ha-Ha-Ha
Trump haters(including PJ or anyone else) are morons, but worse….they are anti-American morons. Regardless of if all the brainwashed willfully ignorant fake news loving leftist idiots admit it or not,Trump is getting more done to actually help the country for once than the last 30 something years of establishment traitors trying to ruin it.
I didnt even vote for Trump, but I can at least see and admit the TRUTH instead of believing everything the lying left media tells me.
Treason has its reward. Ready, set……
Tester has lost ground since falsely claiming the President’s physician, Ronnie Jackson, gave up prescription meds like candy and also that the Jackson crashed several cars. The Secret Service issued a rare denunciation of Senator Tester saying all of his accusations were untrue. Now, Tester has lost ground even more. He’s down some 16% in the polls. Also, did anyone notice the ANTIFA colors of black and red, from ANTIFA’s flag colors? Time to start arresting people.
Stop the madness. Prosecute! No one should get away with threatening any President of the United States, period. No comedian, no celebrity, no government official, No One. Where is Secret Service? Time to get serious.
If you cannot give negative feedback to your friends publicly, perhaps you cannot be trusted with 1000s of employees. Omarosa proved Trump is not near as quick to kick someone to the curb as I am. Perhaps the Republican leadership of Montana did not chose wisely when running him in the primaries.
Liberalism is a mental disease and it is terminal. I didn’t let my son listen to Pearl Jam when he was 15 years old…now that he has a child…he thanked me. When will threatening the President be a crime and wth didn’t we do it when Obama was President? That’s one death I could have dealt with.
Have any of you thought about what you will do if these sadistic pieces of garbage (Democrats and Liberals) succeed in taking down our President? We already know they will lie, cheat, steal, and even kill to get what they want. Sessions is impotent (or one of them), the FBI, the Justice Dept., politicians, and the media all promote violence and are never prosecuted. It’s going to be up to the people.
This is equally disgusting to what New York’s Gov. Cuomo said. He said “America was never that great”. This kind of artistic work and verbal abuse borders on hatred and mental illness. The artist and speaker both need to be locked up forever and drugged heavily, in Russia.
Why do we have all these sick people??? Is this a fallout of Obamacare getting rid of people over 70. Get a life because we’re not over the hill!!! I even think those over 70 may not have lost their minds yet like some of the younger ones are showing they have.
Pharma and Obumer care
Nancy guaranteed you would love this.
Who made the poster?
