Also USA. My teachers ran the gamut from not letting anyone to treating us like adults. My school was VERY white with only a handful of black kids across all of high school. One of the teachers was well known for never letting the black kids go until one of them went and peed in his trash can to prove a point.

The ones who treated us like adults got treated with the most respect. Weird how that works.

I have a question. Are the journalists actually writing these headlines or is there an official “slam artist” doing the headline writing?

I’m asking because I really don’t know.

I’m pretty sure they’re throwing out insane names so that when their evil but sane actual picks go through confirmation it’s much easier to swallow.

Gibson has sued everyone who came close to their body style. They did win back in the day over the “open book” headstock (the mustache looking top). They’re super litigious. I don’t see them winning this for a variety of reasons, number one being that I don’t think there are really guitars.

I love how Mr. America First keeps endorsing inferior shit made overseas. This is one hundred percent one of the hundreds of LP knockoffs that you can get for a couple of hundred bucks apiece if you buy in bulk on Alibaba with garbage pickups, sharp frets, and terrible glue joints. Probably an extra hundred bucks for the inlay and “paint job”.

Except I bet they paid for a couple of them and that’s all they actually had made. One to show, one to put up on their wall, and the rest are “sold” and never fulfilled with a kickback to the grifter in chief. If someone actually pays the $11,000 or whatever for one with Trump’s signature they’ll order a few with the signature already stamped over the clear coat (not actually signed! shocker!) for the same couple of hundred bucks, kick back 30% to trump, and keep $6000 per idiot who wants to put that on their wall.

Edit: What in the chicken fried fuck is a “Trumpbucker” pickup?

Bullshit. They want those workers scared that they’ll be deported because being afraid of that will keep their wages low and keep them compliant. This is good for the larger construction companies who employ those workers.

I’m going to make a prediction. If I’m wrong then I’ll admit it. I think they’re going to do one wave of very loud deportations, quietly abandon it, and relax the borders briefly to fill the spots that were left by that wave. Just enough to scare the absolute shit out of migrant workers into working, coming home, not putting their kids in school, and not peeking their heads out until it’s time to make agriculture and construction companies money.

This is drunk speculation.
