Barr: Trump "Detached from Reality," Believed He'd Get 4 More Years
Former US Attorney General William Barr has a new book out called One Damn Thing After Another, and he’s been doing a number of interviews promoting it. Previously, Barr revealed that Trump fired him after he shot down the then-president’s claims of voter fraud and called his team of lawyers a “clown show.” He said in another interview that despite Trump trying to end democracy in America, he’d still vote for him over a Democrat in 2024. This week, Barr did an interview with Fox News’s Bret Baier where he revealed that Trump was convinced he’d be able to take the White House in 2020 even after the results had shown he lost to Joe Biden. Barr said it was “unsettling” when Trump told him “he had actually won the election and how the machines were rigged and that he was actually going to be there for another term.” The former Attorney General said, “this showed a detachment from reality that was stunning.” Even if Trump started the “big lie” to deceive people, it’s possible that as the weeks and months went on, he genuinely started to believe it himself.
Proud Boys Leader Arrested in Underwear Over Trump Riots
Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio has been arrested on a conspiracy charge in connection to the January 6th Capitol riots. Tarrio is accused of organizing the attack alongside five other members of his neo-fascist group. He allegedly participated in a secret meeting in a Washington DC parking garage prior to the insurrection along with making a series of text messages and social media posts to set up the events. Tarrio was not at the Capitol himself that day, as he was being detained for burning a stolen Black Lives Matter flag two days earlier. Police arrested Tarrio at his house Tuesday morning, and video shows the Proud Boys leader surrendering to law enforcement wearing nothing but his underwear. It’s too bad the lawmakers who conspired in making the events of January 6th take place probably won’t be subjected to the same treatment.

Trump FURIOUS About Failure of His Farcical Social Media App
Donald Trump’s social media app Truth Social is off to an embarrassing start, and it’s making the former president furious. Trump launched his platform last month with the goal of making it a competitor to Twitter. According to sources from the Daily Beast, Trump has been on the phone with business partners swearing and wondering why the app isn’t getting more downloads and attention. As it stands now, Truth Social’s usage is comparable to other right-wing sites like Gab and Gettr. Trump’s major problem is that Truth Social is becoming a conservative echo-chamber, which was completely predictable. Part of what draws people to apps like Twitter is that there can be real debate and discussion among people with different viewpoints, something Trump’s site doesn’t have. Another problem is that Truth Social doesn’t live up to its promise of being a “free speech” platform, as it restricts what people can say about the site itself. On every level, Trump’s latest attempt to become a social media mogul is failing miserably.

MyPillow Mike Lindell's Most Insane Prediction Yet
MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has moved onto his next promise and prediction after failing to deliver on overturning the 2020 election results countless times before. Lindell now says that he has a class action lawsuit coming soon which will target all voting machines. The pillow tycoon said in an interview with Right Side Broadcasting that, “it’s the most important class action lawsuit in American history — in world history.” In an Arizona speech, Lindell went as far as to say he’s launching a lawsuit against “all machines.” Mike says he’s been working on the case for five months and has been giving constant updates on his platforms Frank Speech and Lindell TV. Like so many other projects from the MyPillow guy, this one seems set up for failure.
