C+C Music Factory is in because fuck you, that’s why. > In a [post](https://www.instagram.com/p/DY3WSXVRwYA/) on the group’s official Instagram account, rapper Freedom Williams said his phone had been blowing up with friends asking why he would take part in an event put on by the Trump administration. Williams said he didn’t care at all what the critics had to say — a point underscored by the fact that he appeared to be delivering his message while sitting on a toilet. > > “I don’t give a fuck about Trump. I don’t give a fuck about Trump’s family,” Williams said. “I know the type of fucking anarchy he creates. But the day I let you motherfuckers tell me what to do is the day I die.” > > Williams went on a lengthy rant that covered former President Barack Obama (who “never did shit for you”) and Trump’s immigration crackdown (“damn near Nazism”), among other issues. He said he had considered dropping out of the National Mall show as backlash grew, but ultimately decided he wouldn’t cave to critics. > > “I don’t give a fuck about Trump. But I also don’t give a fuck about you, either,” he said. > **[Rapper Defends Performing At Trump-Backed Freedom 250 Concert In 7-Minute...](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/c-c-music-factory-freedom-250_n_6a188044e4b0ddcc8468f892)** > > It appears the show will go on for C+C Music Factory, one of the groups billed for Trump’s '90s-heavy National Mall celebration. ---

Well, that’s true (and a good catch). “State” _does_ get applied to many aspects of a national government (including Dinners). But you know that “state fair” has a meaning that’s never in the past been _anything_ to do with “a fair of State” or such. (Not to be confused with an Affair of State.) Lame. ---

That’s gotta sting to get snubbed by the last survivor of Milli Vanilli. Like standing on the side of the road next to your broken Yugo and declining a ride to town in a Cyber Truck that stopped for you. _“Nah, Man!. I’m good. It’s only a few miles and the rain is gonna stop eventually.”_ On the other hand, I’m sure the UFC fight on the White House lawn is going to be a UGE Success! 🫣 I predict it will be talked about for years to come… ---

The concert lineup is apparently down to three of the original nine: Martina McBride, Vanilla Ice and Flo Rida. Ice is MAGA, bur we’ll see if the other two stay in. ---

> [@Q.Q.Switcheroo](#): > > Who are three people who have never been in my playlist? To be fair, McBride is a really big country star, and has been for 30+ years (though she hasn’t released a new studio album since 2018). She’s won the Country Music Association’s Female Artist of the Year Award four times (behind only Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood), and has had seven platinum albums, and 20 songs which reached the top ten on the Country chart. But, if you don’t listen to country, of course she’s never been on your playlist. ---

I’ll bet Trump wanted McBride because he saw she had a hit called “Independence Day.” And I’m guessing no one told him the song’s about a woman leaving an abusive domestic situation. Maybe she’ll dedicate it to Ivana. And Marla. And Melania. ---

Sean Hannity used the chorus as the intro to his radio show. The list of songs that the right loves but does not understand is impressive.
