What This Is
realstupidshit.com exists to document and mock the absurd, the dishonest, the embarrassing, and the scammy moments happening in real-time across American politics, media, government, and the internet.
The point is simple: if something is dumb, dishonest, embarrassing, scammy, or absurd enough to deserve mockery, it belongs in the conversation here.
Our Tone
We're funny but political. Blunt but readable. Mean to nonsense and not to normal people. We target public figures in official capacity and systemic stupidity — not private individuals, not kids, not regular folks trying to live their lives.
What We Cover
Politics: Cabinet members, senators, representatives, and executive branch absurdity.
Internet Nonsense: Viral stupidity, social media chaos, and the dumbest corners of online life.
Government Nonsense: Bureaucratic incompetence, policy failures, and government dysfunction.
Media Nonsense: Clickbait headlines, editorial failures, and journalism gone wrong.
Hall of Shame: People and institutions that deserve to be remembered for their failures.
Scam Watch: Fraud, grifters, and schemes targeting regular people.
Kids: The unfiltered, hilarious logic of children saying things they shouldn't.
Our Standards
We source from real news outlets (AP, Reuters, NYT, WaPo, CNN, Fox, MSNBC, etc.). We research thoroughly. We don't fabricate quotes or details. If something is satirical or speculative, we say so.
We're not here to be fair to people who are being dishonest. Fair ≠ accurate. We call it like it is.
