I don’t follow. Is this part of the 7-D chess where Trump gets played as the fool again while Russia and China help Iran target U.S. bases and then Trump rolls out the red carpet (literally) for both of them?

Wrong grifter. Newsome married Kimberly Guilfoyle — another one of the corrupt people in Trump’s orbit.

On diesel, “structural” is a stretch. Prices had been consistently under $4 for two years prior to the Iran war, and averaged $3.52 in January, before the war. Prices have jumped more than 78% since the Iran war began.
Here’s a chart of diesel prices starting exactly one year before Trump took office until today. The red line is the day he launched the Iran war. Look at the pre and post invasion prices.
I mean, come on. Prices were stable for more than two years in the lead-up to the war.

Meanwhile, Trump Signs Order Exempting Russia From Sanctions Legislation
Because of course he did. Who could have ever predicted this? /s Trump has been so tough on Russia, lol.
Happy Friday, Comrades!
Of course, Russia has an export ban because they need all of it for themselves. And the amount is de minimis. It’s either a performative charade to find a way to normalize Putin, or it’s just Trump being a fucking idiot, thinking this will somehow lower prices meaningfully before the election. Probably both.

Trump going full mask off today. If you ever had any doubt he was a Russian asset, this week’s actions and statements should have cleared up any doubt.
Reagan and Lindsey Graham must be rolling over in their graves.
Now that we’re making deals with Russia to buy their energy, do we sanction ourselves, like we sanctioned India last year?
I love how Trump said Ukraine could have ended this war many times. They could have ended it the same way the Allies could have ended WW2 if only they had surrendered. Does Trump not understand that Russia could end the war literally any day by stopping their invasion? Yes, he probably knows that, but doesn’t actually give a shit. He’d rather his real estate envoys work out deals with Putin than actually pursue peace.
Now Putin will have U.S. money to use to bomb kids, drone shopping centers, and murder civilians daily.
I guess we’ve officially joined the Russia/Iran/North Korea/China axis. But the only schmuck rolling out the red carpet is Trump for these brutal dictators. They see him as a useful idiot.

[quote quote=11397]Yeah, what Cornfed said. Couple of thoughts.
- 79% want a 10% cap on credit card rates. Uh, how about not using your credit card or if you do, pay it off every month.
- 57% want U. S. Govt. to regulate AI immediately. Asking government to regulate AI is like betting on the tortoise to beat a gazelle. By the time legislation is passed – any legislation- AI will be generations and light years beyond the AI generation subject to the legislation.

Um, we’re referring to it as Super Intelligence now Beeg_Dog. Did you get the memo? We’re putting cover sheets on all the TPS reports, and anyone who doesn’t refer to A.I. As S.I. is now considered “the enemy”.
This directive came straight from the Dear Leader. Please try to comply with the political correct words. Thank you for your attention to this matter:

So Cornfed, was Trump was lying about the main reason for this latest war? He said we needed to get rid of their nuclear program.
Quoting myself from last year: “I think we are half-assing this. Trump wants to have his cake and eat it too. Either we plan this properly, do this right, go in full scale. Or we stay the fuck out.”
I was right about the anemic bombing last year and prescient on my recommendation to not half-ass it or stay the fuck out. Trump chose to half-ass it again. No coalition. No preparation. Disregarded advice of anyone competent (since only loyalists are left).
It’s a shame Trump and Hegseth only value loyalty and kicked out the competent people. I guess they were part of “the deep state” or maybe Kegseth thought they didn’t have big enough boners and enough testosterone? That seems to be his only concern.
but here we are. Trump and Hegseth didn’t learn a single lesson from the Ukraine war.

Honestly Mick, it’s amazing how naive your comments were (“Trump does not arrest or jail his political enemies”). Trump literally posted a message on Truth Social addressed to “Pam” (Attorney General Pam Bondi) and wrote “We can’t delay any longer, it’s killing our reputation and credibility” and then went on to talk about several people who needed to be dealt with by the DOJ.
So far others include:
- Former FBI Director James Comey — dismissed in late 2025 because of how absurd it was — and then re-indicted in April over a social media post that was equally absurd (idiotic, really).
- Sen. Adam Schiff (“insurance and mortgage fraud”)
- Former CIA Director John Brennan
- Former Fed Chair Jerome Powell (probe dropped)
- Fed Governor Lisa Cook (criminal referral, not indicted, with Trump attempting to fire her—now before the Supreme Court)
- And let’s not forget New York AG Letitia James (“mortgage fraud”)
Trump was asked about these and promised there would be others. But of course Trump doesn’t do such things.
What amazes me isn’t the fact that he’s done this; it’s that you guys somehow don’t understand how corrupt he is. I’m sure you must be shocked, SHOCKED that he is even tainted with the hint of corruption. No, it’s not Trump. Surely it must be that all these people are guilty.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the message I referenced earlier was actually meant to be sent privately to Bondi. Trump believed he had sent it directly and was surprised to learn it was public. So we can add incompetent to corrupt.

It’s uncanny how accurate my prediction was. I gave it 12 months. Here we are 10 months later and Newsom is of course being investigated by the DOJ. So fucking predictable.

Just a quick update to this thread: Russia has definitely lost, whether they realize it or not. I don’t know if that means Ukraine won, but Russia is clearly the loser. Or at least one of the losers. At this point it’s just a matter of time for them to either realize they lost and withdraw or escalate with nuclear weapons or something.
Putin just needs to come terms with it. I suspect he hasn’t accepted the loss yet. But give it a few months, give or take. one way or another he’ll get the message.

Which programs are wasteful? At least the “tax and spend Democrats” try and pay for their spending. Republicans just lie and swear they won’t spend. And then proceed to wreck the economy and spend like drunken sailors with no plan to pay.

And? This means all immigrants are evil and bad? I assume that’s the point of randomly highlighting a Somali.

The article is built around a partisan campaign estimate, not a neutral audit proving California lost $425 billion to fraud. The number comes from a paper by Republican controller candidate Herb Morgan, who combines fraud, improper payments, inefficiency, cost overruns, and disputed policy spending into one large “exposure” figure. Even his own framing does not treat every dollar in that total as proven fraud.
That said, some of the underlying problems are real. California’s auditor has flagged major weaknesses in programs like EDD, Medi-Cal, and CalFresh, and the state’s homelessness oversight has also been criticized for failing to track costs and outcomes well enough to judge effectiveness. So the article is using real oversight failures to support a highly exaggerated political narrative, rather than offering a clean factual accounting of fraud.
The most defensible officially documented failure amount is roughly $46.2 billion in EDD paid ineligible benefits, plus narrower figures like $1.013 billion potentially fraudulent LWA payments and $1.9 billion in questionable Medi-Cal payments. The much bigger numbers in that article come from bundling those with broader policy spending and inefficiency *claims*.
In other words, California can do better, but this is a political piece, not a neutral accounting. Only about 10% of what he’s claiming is concrete official loss figures, and the rest is political aggregation. It takes real failures and packages them into a more inflammatory narrative by mixing documented losses with estimates of waste, inefficiency, and policy spending the Republican opposes.
