He’s gonna fill every white space of The White House with his shitty taste and mental illness. Whoever promises to pull down all Trump’s decorating monstrosities and throw them on a big day one bonfire in the front yard of The People’s House will certainly have my vote.

It's because I'm from Texas and need to verify my age using things like my SSN

No way!!! Don't trust it. Twitter and Facebook and Nextdoor don't ask me to verifiy my age. This is stupid.

12. No one on reddit trusts it. I thought the Texas law applied to sites like Porn Hub.

14. This is Blue Sky's decision. It's because occassional posts here and there have NSFW, nudity and occassional porn.

Facebook, twitter and reddit also have NSFW, nudity and occassional porn. So does YouTube. YouTube asks me my age.

Yes, some troll on BlueSky could post some hardcore stuff, but I'm sure it would get taken down quickly.

The Texas law was to limit real porn. Not occassional nudity.

They have no support. So I finally, emailed them and they said, "We'll fix it". They never did. I think I had to get a new account or something.

So, this is their cheap way of dealing with the Texas law. Let's just make all Texans submit this info like we're pornhub, problem solved.

the fireplace will need to be replaced once he's gone. The usual quick transition in decor from Trump to the next occupant that happens during the inaugural ceremony will take weeks not hours.

The White House was specifically kept to classical simplicity as befits a republic. His love of gold is beyond Versailles and into empire styling.

And the emperor still has no clothes
