I have no idea who you are (sorry) or what Strip Law is, but dang if this song isn't now fully embedded in my brain

added to my questionnaire for potential friends

officialjackwhite "Jack White is a washed up, has-been loser posting drivel on social media because he clearly has ample time on his hands due to his stalled career," wrote Cheung. "It's apparent he's been masquerading as a real artist, because he fails to appreciate, and quite frankly disrespects, the splendor and significance of the Oval Office inside of The People's House."--White House Communications Director Steven Cheung Listen, I'm an artist and not a politician so I'm in no need to give my answer or opinion on anything if I'm not inspired or compelled, but how funny that it wasn't me calling out trump's blatant fascist manipulation of government, his gestapo ICE tactics, his racist remarks about Latinos, Native Americans, etc. his ridiculous "wall" construction, his attacks on the disabled his attempted coup and mob insurrection and destruction of the sacred halls of congress, his disparaging sexist and pedophilic remarks about women, his obvious attempts at distraction about being a close personal friend of Jeffrey Epstein and his inclusion in the Epstein files, his ignorance of the dying children in Sudan, Gaza, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, his lack of empathy for military veterans and those struggling with poverty, his attempts to dismantle healthcare, his obvious wimpy and pathetic kowtowing to the dictators Putin and Kim Jong Un, his nazi like rallies, his attempts to sell merchandise and products like Goya beans through the office of the President, his fake "gunshot to the ear" that he showed no medical records or photographs of his constant, constant lying to the American people, etc. etc. No, it wasn't me calling out any of that, it was the fucking DECOR OF THE OVAL OFFICE remarks I made that got them to respond with insults. How petty and pathetic and thin skinned could this administration get? Masquerading as a real artist? Thank you for giving me my tombstone engraving! Well here's my opinion, trump is masquerading as a human being.

officialjackwhite He's masquerading as a christian, as a leader, as a person with actual empathy. He's been masquerading as a businessman for decades as nothing he's involved in has prospered except by using other people's money to find loophole after loophole and grift after grift. His staff of professional liar toadies like Steven Cheung and Karoline Leavitt have been covering up and masking his fascism as patriotism and "ample time on at golf than helping ANYONE in the country. Improve. Anything. There progress with him, only smoke and mirrors and tax breaks for the ultra wealthy. So maga folk, enjoy your concrete paving over of the rose garden, your 200 million dollar ballroom in the White House, and your gaudy ass gold spray painted trinkets from Home Depot, cause he ain't spending any money agenda. on helping YOU unless you fit into his white supremascist country club rich idiot. No intelligent person can defend this low life fascist. This bankrupter of casinos. This failed seller of trump steaks, trump vodka, trump water, etc. This man and his goon squad have failed upwards for decades and have fleeced the American people over and over. This professional golf cheat, this grifter who has hundreds of thousands of deaths from his inaction of the pandemic on his hands, this man that the majority of the country somehow were fooled into supporting and voting into office (through the flawed electoral college) and their love of reality television stars. Being insulted by the actual White House that this particular conman leads is a badge of honor to me, because anyone who trump supports and likes is a villain who gives nothing to their fellow man, only takes what can benefit themselves. And no I'm not a Democrat either, I'm a human being raised in Detroit, I'm an artist who's owned his own businesses like his own upholstery shop and recording label since he was 21 years old who has enough street sense to know when a 3 card monte dealer is a cheap grifter and a thief.

Trump doesn't seem to see that some people are still immune to his threats.

Jack White criticized Trump's Oval Office decor. The White House then called White a "washed-up, has-been loser... masquerading as a real artist." And White, undeterred, posted an absolutely blistering takedown in response.

When you realize that what you were taught in school was selected so it wouldn't inconvenience you.

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

I realize I may be too late for this round, but I've been hoping for a return of Pocket Mars!

This is true. Love your work, @stellerarts.bsky.social!

I've had a couple of people separately think I was a woman named Victoria. One of whom stood in front of me doing the "are you sure" thing upon me affirming that I was not, in fact, Victoria and was not her child's dance teacher 25 years ago

WTF

This is straight-up cruel

We asked Senate Republicans: is there any millionaire or billionaire rich enough who doesn't need another tax giveaway?

$10M a year? No.
$100M a year? No.
$500M a year? No.
$1 BILLION a year? No.

With Republicans in control: Billionaires win, families lose.

He nails it.

I was convinced for much of my early life that 4am JUST DID NOT EXIST.

I was getting ready to tell Target why I stopped shopping there, only to discover that all of the "Feedback" links on their website are inactive. Guess they can just pretend not to know why their customers are vanishing into the ether.

Done. No way I'm trusting the Musk administration to keep my financial information safe!

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

For those ready to stop playing nice.

This. Especially Senate Republicans.

The trust that AGU built has been eroded by its wholesale erasure of DEIA from its websites in premature compliance with a non-legal directive aimed at fed agencies. It wasn’t even aimed at AGU and AGU chose to comply in advance. I see they’ve rebuilt some of those webpages. They need to do more.

Unsurprising. But still awful.

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

Let me guess... Then he got some money

Trump Sells Out Ukraine to Putin in Oval Office Surrender Donald Trump’s press conference today was one of the most disgraceful moments in U.S. history, signaling a complete surrender to Vladimir Putin.

Donald Trump’s press conference today was one of the most disgraceful moments in U.S. history, signaling a complete surrender to Vladimir Putin.

This should be required reading for every American adult, especially those who voted in (either through action or inaction) this inhumane administration.

Bishop Rejects Whiny Baby's Apology Demand "I am not going to apologize."

Yesterday, we witnessed Bishop Mariann Budde stand firmly against Donold’s fragile ego. After calling out his blatant hypocrisy in her powerful sermon, Donold demanded an apology, like the whiny, snotty little baby he is.
Her response?

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.
