WELP! This week’s show was quite the doozy! We have dozens of shitty little Young Republicans getting outed as Hitler-loving scumbags, Donald Trump worrying he’s going to burn in Hell for eternity (Hint: You are, Donny. Ha-Ha), and The Great Inflatable Costume Resistance of 2025 continues! And that’s just a tiny bit of this week’s craziness!
Come join me and Florida Woman Rants as we serve up the news with a heaping dose of humor and anger because, honestly, it’s the only way to stay sane in these insane times!
Don’t forget! This Saturday, October 18th, is the No Kings Rally across the nation. Find a protest and join it!!!
Ogre Nation News Update
2:30 - 8:40 The Trump Shutdown enters its third week. Republicans are abusing their power to make things worse, desperately hoping Democrats will break before Open Enrollment begins and everyone finds out how much the GOP is fucking them over on healthcare premiums.
8:41 - 18:10 Well, well, well…someone leaked the private chats of a bunch of Young republicans and, SURPRISE!, it’s dripping with racism, homophobia, misogyny and Hitler worship. Almost like every time we call Republican Nazis and fascists and the worst people to ever exist, we’re not even slightly exaggerating.
18:11 - 21:40 Remember that Measles outbreak that went away? Well, it didn’t and it’s spreading across the country to a 30-year high thanks to the hard work of RFK Jr. and a regime filled with anti-vaxxer murderers.
