I don’t fuck with Trump. I don’t give a fuck about Trump. I know the type of fucking anarchy he creates.

Ah yes, government overreach and fascism, aka anarchy

    Nothing says 250th anniversary celebration like booking a bunch of acts that were popular for the 215th anniversary.

    Wow, you aren't kidding:

    which included the likes of Milli Vanilli, Vanilla Ice, and Poison vocalist Bret Michaels

    These all completely disappeared by the early 90s

    The artists were never told about any political involvement with the event,

    Like, cool they took a stand, but...what did they expect? The guy's not doing anything without himself front and center.

    He says he was asked if he wanted to do a gig in DC on the 25th. It sounds like his agent didn't mention the name of the event, the purpose, or anything else that made it sound different from his normal shows.

    But he also ranted about a number of other things including vaccines, capitalism and Obama, all while taking a shit. All I know for certain from it is that his message is that we should all go fuck ourselves.

    At least one of my childhood figures I looked up to had some sense.
