BREAKING: Music legend Jack White gives a "double f*ck you" to Donald Trump and his "fascists" after they use music from his band The White Stripes without permission — and announces a lawsuit against them.

And White was just getting started....

"Oh….Don’t even think about using my music you fascists," White wrote on Instagram after a Trump aide posted a clip featuring the White Stripes' hit song "Seven Nation Army."

"Law suit coming from my lawyers about this (to add to your five thousand others,)" White wrote.

"Have a great day at work today Margo Martin," he added, addressing the Trump aide who posted the video.

The musician also slammed Trump for his disgraceful behavior in Arlington Cemetery. Staffers working for the convicted ex-president got into a violent altercation with a cemetery worker after they were told not to take photos and videos.

"And as long as I’m here, a double f‑‑‑ you DonOLD for insulting our nation’s veterans at Arlington you scum,” White wrote. "You should lose every military family’s vote immediately from that if ANYTHING makes sense anymore."

Well said!

I prosecuted sex predators. Trump is one.
I shut down for-profit scam colleges. He ran one.
I held big banks accountable. He's owned by them.

I'm not just prepared to take on Trump, I'm prepared to beat him.

After Gregory reformed the calendar, those who followed the old calendar or lunar cycles were harassed by devout Catholics and called April's fools for not following The Pope. They were considered fair game for tricks and abuse.

Word fact of the day: ‘penguin’ is one of the few words in the dictionary of Welsh origin: it comes from ‘pen gwyn’, ‘white head’.

(And a reminder that penguins were also once known affectionately as ‘arsefeet’.)

‘Seijaku’, from Japanese, describes tranquillity in the midst of chaos; a stillness and calm even when the world seems mad.

You might find it in ‘apricity’: the warmth of the sun on a winter’s day.

Word of the day is ‘phrontistery’ (17th century): a place to withdraw to for thinking or contemplation.

If no phrontistery is available, then to ‘latibulate’ is to find a corner and hide in it.
