Welcome to the Ogre Nation anyway! The absolute top priority of the Democratic Party when they topple the Trump regime is to purge the courts of corrupt judges. The Federalist Society has tipped its hand, and its operatives have shown that they are an existential threat to the rule of law. Nothing will get done until these traitors are removed and the Constitution restored. We have a lot to get to this week, so come join the Ogre Nation Conversation! Ogre Nations News Update! 1:45 - 9:31 We talk about the San Diego neo-Nazi shooting because the legacy press won’t. Why? Because when it’s neo-Nazis, it’s an “ISOLATED INCIDENT” and the story vanishes. (Nathan, aka “Little Mr. Florida Woman Rants [https://substack.com/profile/25053661-florida-woman-rants]” is hanging out in the room as a special guest host. 😆) 9:32 - 17:49 Virginia Democrats discover what we’ve all known all along: The most corrupt Supreme Court in American history is a stickler for the rules…but only when it hurts Democrats. 17:50 - 26:28 Trump and the GOP’s poll numbers are so bad, all their gerrymandering and election rigging will not save them. 26:29 - 36:36 Trump’s $1.8 billion slush fund for domestic terrorists and his insider trading are new high-water marks in corruption, and the legacy press is too busy to notice. 36:37 - 41:10 I Scream You Scream We All Scream Because of Fucking ICE 41:11 - 59:50 Headlines for Short Attention Spans 59:51 - 1:08:55 Self-care of the Week (Nathan has left the room at this point) The Unedited Hotmess Livestream!

There was MUCH ranting to be done. Just as we were getting ready to record, 6 unelected Republican extremists helped the GOP rig elections, Trump is setting the world on a path towards financial ruin, the legacy press tone polices the left AGAIN, and I let loose on Trump’s corrupt DoJ for paving the way for #Nuremberg II: Electric Chair Boogaloo.

Ep. 94: Trump's Own Regime Staged A Mini-Coup Against...Trump. No Big Deal!

These are dark times but I will continue to tell the stories you need to hear in a clear (and usually profane) voice. If I entertain/anger/inform you, preferably all three, please consider becoming a supporting subscriber today for only $5 a month or just $50 a year (a 17% discount!). Trump is so erratic and out of his depth, his own regime won’t allow him near important military operations. That should be top news. It was borderline to a coup and yet, just another day in the regime. Other news to talk about. No big deal. This is how normalized the dementia and insanity of America’s would-be dictator has become. One wonders how much longer that will continue when the oil shock finally hits America sometime in the next 4-6 weeks? Anyway, come join the Ogre Nation Conversation as Florida Woman Rants [https://substack.com/profile/25053661-florida-woman-rants] and I dig into the lunacy that is America! Ogre Nation News Update! 1:25 - 19:02 What stupid shit did Trump do in the Middle East today? How long do we have before the oil shock catches up to us? 19:03 - 28:15 What the fuck is happening at the FBI with Kash “Blackout Drunk” Patel? 28:16 - 34:38 We Live in the Stupidest Timeline - Pete Hegseth Edition 34:39 - 1:17:57 Headlines for Short Attention Spans 1:17:58 - 1:32:50 Self-care of the Week 1:34:22 A special PSA from Florida Woman about your kids and driving.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
