Where did you get the trillions? Trumptard gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton alleged that less than $250 billion in taxpayer funds have been lost to fraud, waste, and abuse in California over the last five years, covering programs such as welfare, pandemic unemployment, and homeless initiatives. (It is legal for Trumptards to lie until either their heads fall off or they lose, which is why they lie constantly.)

What is your point? I've seen Trumptards drop dead all around me. Not surprising me, but life goes on smoother and smoother the more of them die. That is because Trumptards are sand in the gears; without sand, things are smoother.

You're the one who brought up Scott Adams because news of his horribly painful death still keeps you hard all night.


Don't ask me that question.

That's a question you should be asking yourself every day.

You've lost everything forever and you're still too stupid to realize that.

The game is already over buddy.

You and your ilk are nothing more than footnotes in American History now.

You see Gavin Newsom out there looking like TEMU Patrick Bateman today with his eyeliner on and everything? Dude ain't looking too good these days. Looking like Dennis Reynolds from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia with all that makeup on his face.

This is one of the reasons why I'm telling people that any election polling they're hearing from either side means abolutely nothing right now, and nobody should even be spending any of their time or attention on them until after SCOTUS makes their June round of rulings and we start seeing the shape of what elections going forward are even going to look like anymore.

The Voter ID issue is a dead issue. Democrats (those in power) lost that hands down. A CNN poll just showed 84% of whites support it. 82% of Hispanics support it. And even 72% of blacks support it. When looking at party support, 71% of registered Democrat voters support it.

So people can show you all the election polling in the world, but this shift shows that either Democrat voters are seeing a seismic shift of their way of thinking on this issue, or MUCH more likely, they finally feel like they're free to speak out on issues such as these with common sense applied without feeling like everyone else in their bubble will attack or ostracize them for speaking out.

The worst of the violent offenders, both illegal alien and American Citizens are finally being arrested and facing the possibility of very long federal sentences for their crimes. Hollywood celebrities are being called on their bullshit and their hypocrisy immediately after they say something stupid. The DEI is being stripped away from all the companies, and likely will be making up the large majority of layoffs from the larger companies. HR Departments finally shrinking for the first time in 2 generations, and many positions that didn't even exist until 2020 disappearing altogether for good.

People are finally seeing reasonable reactions to things again on their shiny rectangles, after decades of nothing making any sense. Hints of a little order to the chaos forming.


This carries over into Independents and Republicans too. A lot of people are always afraid to speak their mind because they have a lot to lose.

So what the Voter ID issue amounts to is that it has always been WIDELY accepted as common sense has only been relegated to the sides as a fringe issue by the Left after they took over almost the entire Legacy Media, while they unleashed their internet bullies on anyone who dared say that requiring voter ID was not racist. It is unarguably Nationalist. But it's not racist. And those two words have two very different meanings.

So I got called a Nazi by Ted and Second and Wishy and Reaverfan and possibly even JO... and even got a LOT of pushback from Kiki on this particular issue when I would argue for it over the last 10 years, but it turns out that I was right all along.


This is EVERYWHERE. This is pervasive. It's snuck its way into literally everything like those weeds you're always fighting every year.

And we're finally doing lawn maintenance at home.

All this other bullshit is a distraction from that.


And the best part of all is that people just aren't paying attention to what the Legacy Media says anymore.


I haven't looked into it, but I'll bet that even Greg Gutfield is slipping in the ratings right now along with the idiot Network Lefty shows. I just don't find anything they have to say these days any funnier than dad jokes on the inside of a

A year ago, everyone was doing the “Trump dance.” Now the president is too scared to show his face at the Super Bowl

By Alex Shephard | February 7, 2026

ne-maga-cultural-relevance


Donald Trump is trying not to make a big deal of the fact that he won’t be attending Super Bowl LX when it kicks off on Sunday. The game, which is being held in Santa Clara, California, is just “too far away,” said the president, who regularly flies across the world on a taxpayer-funded plane that solely exists to take him wherever he wants, whenever he wants. In the same interview, though, Trump did indicate another possible reason why he wasn’t attending: the Opening Ceremony and halftime show. The latter will feature a performance from Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny and the former will feature Bay Area punk rock band Green Day — both of whom have been sharply critical of the president, his administration, and, particularly in the case of Bad Bunny, ICE.

“I’m anti-them. I think it’s a terrible choice. All it does is sow hatred. Terrible,” Trump said.

It’s tempting to dwell on the delicious irony in Trump’s statement: There is no one in recent American history who has sown more hatred than the president. But it doesn’t matter. Trump wouldn’t be at the Super Bowl even if Kid Rock were performing alongside a host of country singers no one has heard of — which is, incidentally, the slate of the right-wing Turning Point USA’s “alternative” halftime show, which is sure to attract dozens of viewers. Trump isn’t going to the Super Bowl because he is, one year into his term, more unpopular than he’s been since the January 6 insurrection. He knows that when the cameras inevitably found him in his box, he would be mercilessly and loudly booed. Staying home and stewing — and posting incessant (and most likely racist) drivel on Truth Social—is preferable. It’s still humiliating, just less so.

Trump’s absence at Super Bowl LX, combined with TPUSA’s show, tells us where his second term is headed. A year ago, Trump had real cultural power, particularly in the sports world. He attended Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans and was applauded. Pro athletes celebrated goals and touchdowns by breaking out the “Trump dance.” There was wide concern that the right had achieved massive cultural power through influencers, popular YouTube shows, and comics. Now Trump is staying home, and the best counterprogramming his allies can come up with is a performance by one of the most talentless performers American culture has produced in the last quarter-century.

The rise of the “Trump dance” — seen everywhere from college football stadiums to international soccer — was, as I argued shortly after the election, a sign of the wider cultural normalization of Trump and the utter failure to make him societally radioactive. It also pointed to one of the more disturbing trends revealed by the 2024 election: Trump had gained ground with a lot of people who, not so long ago, didn’t like him at all. Young men, in particular — not just white men without college degrees, but from a wide array of social, racial, and economic backgrounds — had warmed to the president. They thought he was funny, someone worth imitating — and saw no social cost for embracing him. And Trump was winning over these people in part because American culture — particularly online culture, but sports as well — had gotten more right-wing and reactionary.

TPUSA’s show is amusing for a lot of reasons. One is that Kid Rock is terrible, not just musically but lyrically; his songs celebrating statutory rape have gone viral recently. “Young ladies, young ladies, I like ’em underage, see / Some say that’s statutory (But I say it’s mandatory),” Kid Rock rapped on the soundtrack to the 2001 children’s movie Osmosis Jones. Kid Rock was a cultural force of sorts in 2001, but in 2026 he’s been a has-been for two decades. For t

<< We know that they are lying, they know that they are lying, they even know that we know they are lying, we also know that they know we know they are lying, but they are still lying. >>

https://andrewtobias.com/handing-the-mic-to-david-corn/

I wonder if the United States is slipping into such a fog.

The Donald Trump regime, of course, is predicated on lies. His 2024 campaign was a crusade of disinformation. Haitian immigrants are eating cats and dogs; criminal immigrant gangs have taken over entire cities; public schools were performing gender affirmation procedures; Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were purposefully allowing fentanyl to be smuggled into the United States. And Trump, as you might recall, was clocked by the Washington Post during his first term as spewing more than 30,000 falsehoods and lies.

It’s no news flash that he’s prevaricating non-stop. But what’s most worrisome is how brazen he and the fellow fibbers in his gang are—as if there were absolutely no concern about being caught or found out. And not just regarding lying. They’re also brazen when it comes to racism, abuse of power, and corruption. In the quaint days before Trump, lying presidents and lying elected officials tried to make it seem they were not lying. Corrupt presidents and corrupt elected officials tried to make it seem they were not corrupt. With Trump and his banditos, there are no such games of pretend.

It leads to a disturbing dynamic in which Trump and his lieutenants display their atrociousness to such an extent that it can lead to inurement. We know their actions are outrageous, they know their actions are outrageous, we know they know, they know we know they know—and this circle swallows itself. Nothing changes.

Trump denies he’s vengefully weaponizing the Justice Department to take down his enemies. Yet we see this clearly happening in multiple instances, with the prosecutions of James Comey, Letitia James, and Adam Schiff and the criminal investigations of others, including former special counsel Jack Smith and former CIA director John Brennan. These cases have been mounted over the objections of professional prosecutors and handled by political hacks—a true sign they are flagrant abuses of power. Yet Trump and his lackeys insist this is merely the Justice Department doing its job by the book. There has never been a more obvious perversion of the DOJ. They know we know.

Trump denies he’s a racist. Yet he has a long history of racist statements and acts. I don’t need to run though all that again. But a few days ago, when he was on Dan Bongino’s podcast—to which the former FBI deputy director has returned to resume his conspiracy-mongering career—Trump said, “Minnesota is a mess. There’s something in the water up there…I won three times but I got no credit for it…It’s a rigged state. Really rigged badly with the Somalians, and the Somalians and the theft…These are people that don’t work…We gotta get ’em out, most of them. And it’s most of them. Ninety-two percent don’t work…Many of them drive Mercedes-Benzes.” In December, he exclaimed, Somalis “are garbage” and “contribute nothing. I don’t want ’em in our country…We don’t want ’em in our country…Let ’em go back to where they came from.” Pure, unadulterated racism. On Thursday night, Trump put up on his money-losing social media site a meme depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes—which was later removed, though the White House defended it. And the White House, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of Labor have been routinely posting memes and messages that promote images and slogans used by white supremacists. In modern times there has never been such undisguised and explicit racism purposefully propagated by an administration. They know we know.

Trump engages in the most overt corruption. His wife accepted a $40 million payment from billionaire Jeff Bezos and Amazon for a mediocre (at best) film—a way-above-market-value licensing fee—while Bezos and Amazon have multiple interests before the government that Trump controls.

There was another whopper of a lie this week about India buying Russian oil. The US and India are hammering out a new trade deal, and terms are being reached. When Trump announced that the two sides were close to an agreement, he added that as part of the deal, the Indians had promised to stop buying all Russian oil. Trump said that the Indians had “assured me today that they (India) will not be buying oil from Russia”. Then, to reinforce the point, Trump described the (nonexistent) Indian pledge as a “big step.” To finally show how amazing he was, Trump claimed that not only would the Indians stop buying Russian oil, they would replace those purchases with US oil.

Immediately the press started reporting this claim as fact.

US to cut tariffs on India to 18%, India agrees to end Russian oil purchases
By David Lawder and Aftab Ahmed
February 2, 2026 5:06 PM GMT • Updated February 3, 2026

The sole source for this headline was Trump’s claim that India had agreed to this.

It was a lie. The Indians two days later released the entire text of the agreements reached so far between the US and themselves. You can access it here.

There is not a single word about India stopping the purchase of Russian oil, of replacing such purchases of Russian oil with American oil, etc. Indeed, even the discussion of India purchasing oil (and other products) from the USA is very vague. There is no commitment to do so, just a statement of intention.

Here is the key text: “India intends to purchase $500 billion of US energy products, aircraft and aircraft parts, precious metals, technology products and coking coal over the next 5 years.”

So actually, India is not committed to buying more US oil at all. Btw, in exchange for this non-commitment, the Indians seem to get access to advanced US processors. Hey ho.

I can assure you now that India will not stop purchasing all Russian oil—and it was wildly irresponsible of the press to say so. We heard the same things in October, when the Trump administration first announced their “sanctions” on Russian oil sales. Actually at that point through the end of November, Indian purchases went up. Since then, Indian purchases have modestly reduced (though continued at high levels), but overall the Russians have been able to sell far more to China than they have lost in sales to India.

It's clear now that Trump is defending Russia and protecting Russia. It would be far better that this is how his ridiculous lies, and they are lies, are reported next time.

For assuredly there will be more deceit in the future.
