Not so much a given name but a jack as in Jack of all trades or a playing card. A lesser version of Smith.

Conversely, A smith is in between a jack and a master. I guess Jack Smith is someone who's unsure and confused about the level of his talents.

Who’s Jack White?

And why would anybody care what he thinks?

Seven Nation Army, Fell In Love With a Girl, We’re Gonna be Friends (my favorite!), Denial Twist, St. James Infirmary. Billy F. Gibbons spoke highly of him. Plus The Raconteurs and other side projects. Don’t agree with his politics but he is a good musician.

But Jack, what happens if I don’t like your speech and tell Elon to cancel your twitter account. Is that ok?

“You took on a big responsibility with your purchase, and “free speech” isn’t some umbrella that protects you from that.”

The responsibility is to his checkbook, and yes, actually free speech is exactly that. An umbrella that protects you as you exercise it.

Well, here is his performance of Loretta Lynn’s ‘Van Lear Rose’ at the Grand Ole Opry during a tribute show after she died. I think it’s great Loretta Lynn song, and a great performance by him. Incidentally, Loretta grew up in Van Lear, Kentucky and her father worked at the Van Lear coal mine.

Why don’t these losers just go start their own platform.

I’ve heard that before. A heavy base line always helps make up for weak and rather meaningless lyrics, sung by an autotuned singer. Useful as a movie soundtrack maybe...

Overrated.

I’m actually not super interested in Trump being on Twitter (or not being on Twitter), but the slow reveal of what a complicated, global, subversive infrastructure the former management of Twitter created is astonishing.

White is a DNC hit man. A real scum bag.

“Despise paying your fair share...”

Who loves paying taxes? Espexially when we see government wasting our hard earned tax money?

Do these people even know how this country was formed?

Given how fiat “money” is magically created out of thin air by banks via fractional reserve lending formula bs, taxes are meaningless and not needed, and even former fed chairs have said american tax policies are simply punitive.

You intend to give platforms to known liars

Like you, Jack? You told everyone your wife was your sister.
