Welcome back to the Top 10 Conservative Idiots! I know what you're thinking - why does it say "Final"? Well, as we announced on Mastodon, this is going to be our last regular season for a while. I know. It was not an easy decision. But it's been a long time coming. And the reason why we are calling it quits during an election year is simple - we're burnt out. There's just too much bullshit out there to keep going at the rate we're going and we couldn't possibly fit everything into one week. There is some good news though, is that many of our favorite segments like Beating A Dead Horse, I Need A Drink, Conspiracy Corner, We're All Gonna Die, and of course - Holy Shit, are going to live on in some form or another. And speaking of Holy Shit, our wildly popular spinoff program Holy Shit: The Sunday Sermons, is getting a third season and will continue on indefinitely every year. But don't think of this as the ending. Think of it more as a "sophisticated breakup". We're still going to continue the program, and we would like to continue to get to 400 editions. But for now, that being said, we're going to go out with the absolute biggest of bangs in the meantime, including our trip to Canada and our college tour! Yes, we're sending off by going back to school! But depending on which way the election goes, either way, things are going to drastically change. But that's it - enough explaining, let's get to the episodes and we've got some good ones being planned for season 17! This is our farewell tour... for now. But we will be back. Enjoy! And as always don't forget the key!

Edition #17-1: The Raging Wrath Of The MAGA Bunny Edition (7/18/24)
https://democraticunderground.com/100219182324

Live from Santa Ana! As usual, whenever the Top 10 is on an extended hiatus, we like to catch up on things we missed. Most importantly, we have to talk about the UK and France elections. They were able to wipe out a collective 20 years of shitty conservative rule, so why can't we get it done here? We also have to talk about the dangers of the Heritage Foundation's proposed Project 2025 and how it is going way too far. Plus we also have a shit ton of other off the wall things that conservatives have been up to in the 6 weeks we've been gone. And speaking of the Heritage Foundation, how could one little organization do so much damage to the United States? Well it's a hell of a lot and that's scary to think about! We also have a new edition of We're All Gonna Die - California's Death Valley came close to reaching the hottest temperature on earth, something not seen in over 100 years! Should we be frightened? Oh yes! And in our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in "Holy Shit", we have to talk about Oklahoma's insanely unconstitutional Bible Mandate - and is it SCOTUS bait? You betcha! We add Texas' full time Fox News Correspondant, professional Trump ass kisser, and occasional Congress member Troy Nehls (Q - Batshit) to the ever growing list of People Who Somehow Got Elected! And in a new edition of our never-ending void into online tin foil hat nuttery in Conspiracy Corner, it's the end of Alex Jones and Infowars as the final nail in the coffin was handed down - so what's next? We haven't seen the end... yet. We also have a new People Are Dumb, because of course they are! And finally it's time for our 2024 election coverage with our segment Road To The White House - and the merging of the GOP and the Trump party is completed with this convention, we have reached the point of no return!

Edition #17-2: I Sold My Soul For MAGA Edition (7/25/24)
https://democraticunderground.com/100219237984

Live from Montreal! Well, the unthinkable has happened - Joe Biden has announced he's out, so who's in? Kamala Harris has stepped in and is busy winning over hearts and minds! Meanwhile, the attempt on Trump's life at that rally outside Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the GOP has decided to embrace the concept of unity. Yeah, sorry guys, it's hard to play nice with fascist authoritarians! We take a look at the highlights (or lowlights) from the RNC and their full embrace of the MAGA party by nominating Trump, ugh, and JD Vance, double ugh. We also do a deep dive into an aspect of the election that nobody is talking about - a growing minority of increasingly vocal crypto-bros are throwing around big money behind some dark horse GOP candidates, and they're all in on MAGA. We profile GOP dark money sugar daddy and Federalist Society co-founder Leonard Leo in a new This Fucking Guy. In our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in "Holy Shit", it seems like MAGA-friendly megachurches are going all in on the unholy Dark One and his fire and brimstone brand of authoritarianism - so get your talking points ready for Spiritual Warfare 2024! In a new edition of Beating A Dead Horse - one of our favorite groups here, Tenacious D, is under fire for some comments that Kyle Gass made during his birthday celebration in Sydney, but did he go too far? Probably. And in our weekly venture into the seemingly never-ending void of online tin foil hat nuttery in Conspiracy Corner, in another example of why we can't have nice things in this country, the online white supremacist blog-o-sphere has turned the attack on Trump into an attack on DEI hires, and it's every bit as disgusting as it sounds! Plus, in a new "I Need A Drink", in what may be the ultimate "fuck you" to poor people, one wealthy Indian oligarch is holding the world's most expensive wedding, to the tune of $500 million! What the happy couple spent their money on will both shock and disgust you! Finally this week, in our ongoing coverage of the 2024 election to end all elections in Road To The White House, Canada's got a plan in case the US should break into civil war 2.0, but how close are we? The answer will surprise you!

Edition #17-3: Who's Afraid Of The Big Bad Kamala? Edition (8/1/24)
**CANCELED**

Live from Edmonton! THIS EDITION WAS ABRUPTLY CANCELED DUE TO SERVER FUCK UP. THERE WAS MATERIAL WRITTEN BUT IT DID NOT GET PUBLISHED, SO WE ARE COUNTING IT AS AN OFFICIAL EDITION ANYWAYS. DATES RESCHEDULED.
Live Musical Guest: CANCELED

Edition #17-4: The Silence Of The MAGAs Edition (8/15/24)
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100219338078

Live From Edmonton! The choice is in and now it's official who's going to be running against Donald Trump and JD Vance - Kamala Harris and Tim Walz! So who is Tim Walz? We take a look at the Minnesota governor and his policies, which are the exact opposite of JD Couch Fucker. Meanwhile, Trump gives an interview to X / Tesla / Space X / Starlink CEO Elon Musk - and the results and laughably predictable disaster are just about what you would have come to expect from those two. But recent Trump antics have had the MAGA dude bro sect questioning their loyalty to Trump, and they have totally upended the vote - a segment that traditionally votes hardline conservative - and they're changing their tone to... RFK Jr? Yes, he could sway the election, but not in the way you'd expect! We debut a new segment - "Revisionist History", and no, MAGA, you do not get to rewrite the events of the 2020 George Floyd riots. We see through your lies and bullshit! And in a new We're All Gonna Die - we answer the question "Is it hot in here or is it just you?", and the answer is yes it's hot in here and only getting hotter! In our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in "Holy Shit", our resident pastor has been glued to MAGA extremist Joel Webbon's podcast, and if you want a preview of where things are headed, look no further, and oh yes it's only going to get worse if they get back into power! Plus in a new Beating A Dead Horse - the Olympic opening ceremony in France featured, among other things, drag queens performing a reenactment of Leonardo's famous "Last Supper" painting - and set off a firestorm of controversy from the usual suspects! And in a new edition of our weekly foray into the never-ending world of online tin foil hat nuttery in Conspiracy Corner, Trump seems obsessed with serial killer Hannibal Lecter - but why? We have to get to the bottom of this one! In a new "I Need A Drink", the Olympics in France are still a thing, and French pole vaulter Anthony Ammirati's now infamous "bulge" became the stuff of legend after it cost him a metal opportunity... so what was it? We have our theories! Finally in "Road To The White House", we have to take a look at the history of comments from VP nominee JD Vance - it's totally insane. And yes, he may have fucked a couch.

Edition #17-5: The Cybertruck House Rules Edition (8/22/24)
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100219369805

Live from Vancouver! We have to take a look at what could potentially happen if the right wing does something they've been threatening to do for years and that is certify the vote, could it happen? Probably and SCOTUS would lead the charge, and you won't like the outcome! There's so much news involving both sides of the election that we have to lump it all in one entry because there's too much! Meanwhile, JD Vance does everything he can to drive women voters away... and is there anything that this guy does that's not super weird and creepy? Elsewhere, Tesla / Space X / X CEO Elon Musk could potentially have violated numerous international treaties by gifting Chechnya's Razman Kadyrov an armored Cybertruck, because, reasons. In a new edition of We're All Gonna Die -there's dueling viruses - monkeypox and humanparvovirus - that could potentially create headaches for the WHO - and not shockingly - MAGA doesn't care! In our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in Holy Shit, the right wing has a history of nominating some batshit crazy candidates, but North Carolina's Mark Robinson may be one of the most extreme of them all! We also have a new edition of our segment that exposes the dark side of relentless corporate greed in "Late Stage Capitalism" - does a man whose wife died on Disney property have the right to sue them? Disney's bizarre answer will have you thinking twice before you click on that TOS agreement! And in our weekly venture into the never ending void of online tin foil hat nuttery in Conspiracy Corner - Trump made an absolutely batshit claim that he was in a helicopter with former San Francisco mayor Willie Brown - so is he lying? Probably. We also have a new People Are Dumb, because of course they are! Finally in Road To The White House - when Trump fails to draw an audience, he retreats to his own personal megaphone, Fox News, and his increasingly bizarre press conferences have many questioning his cognitive abilities! Oh we hope!

Edition #17-6: Wheel Of Corruption: Ride Or Die Edition (8/29/24)
https://democraticunderground.com/100219397868

Live from the University Of Southern California! The 2024 Democratic National Convention has wrapped up in Chicago and it was one for the ages, with the party uniting behind nominee Kamala Harris, who gave a fiery speech that hit all the right notes! Of course it wasn't met without MAGAs attempting to crash the party - though they were very quickly found out and hilariously shamed on social media! Meanwhile, Trump continues to thumb his nose at authorities by holding an awards night for the January 6th rioters - to which, those of us who aren't in the MAGA bubble, we all have a collective "What the actual fuck???". Elsewhere, noted anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorist Robert Kennedy Jr, who was last seen polling at 0%, dropped out of the race and endorsed Trump (boo), but his rebrand of making the Trump campaign the healthier alternative is absolutely laughable. We also have a new "We're All Gonne Die" - if you've lived in California for any length of time, you've probably heard talk that the "Big One", aka a massive earthquake, is going to happen. But it hasn't, but could it? It's possible, especially with a series of recent jolts suggesting mother nature might be erupting soon! In our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in "Holy Shit", it seems that MAGA Christians have just given up and are now attacking one of the very principles the United States was founded on - freedom of speech! Sigh, why we can't have nice things in this country! We have a new "Beating A Dead Horse" - it seems like Trump just can't play a song at his rallies without someone telling him "NO", and it's glorious! We're tired of pretending it's not! And in our weekly venture into the wacky world of online tin foil hat nuttery in Conspiracy Corner - was the Trump "assassination attempt" staged? Well, once again, it's one of those talking points that always changes depending on what talk shows you watch! It's weird AF! We also have a new "I Need A Drink" - sharks off the coast of Sao Paolo, Brazil have tested positive for cocaine - so should we panic at the thought of cocaine sharks or should Brazil get some help? Either way you'll have that damn song in your head! Finally this week in our ongoing election coverage in Road To The White House - Trump has been threatening to move to a non-extradition country run by a literal dictator - could he do it? Probably, probably not. Either way, we don't expect him to STFU any time soon.

Edition #17-7: The Tortured MAGAs Department Edition (9/12/24)
https://democraticunderground.com/100219453343

Live from the San Diego State University Open Air Theater In a (not really) shocking development, the DOJ learns that a MAGA-centric media company including prominent MAGA podcasters Tim Pool and Benny Johnson, may have taken millions in money from RT, the Russian state owned TV network, to produce and air pro-Putin content on Youtube. *Pretends to be shocked* Donald Trump pays a visit to honor the troops in Arlington National Cemetery, but his visit was an absolute disaster that angered both veterans and citizens alike! Meanwhile, Elon's X gets completely banned in Brazil because he thinks America's free speech absolutism applies to other countries! Hint: It doesn't. In election news, it appears Trump may be screwed when key swing states like Michigan and Pennsylvania vote to keep RFK Jr on the ballot - even after he dropped out of the race and endorsed Trump! What could go wrong? In a new We're All Gonna Die - there's a killer asteroid heading towards earth as we are doing this show, but is it gonna kill us all or burn up in the atmosphere? Eh, Little column A, little column B. In our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in "Holy Shit", we are absolutely perplexed by the fact that MAGA isn't conforming to their "unity" talking point, instead it's heading in the opposite direction, led of course by our friends Joel Webbon and Sean Feucht! Yes, get ready for an impending disaster everybody! And in our segment that exposes never-ending corporate greed in "Late Stage Capitalism" - were you hoping to watch last Sunday's big game between USC and LSU? Well too bad, because DirecTV and Disney are saying "screw you" to the consumer, and this might not be the end of their feud! In our weekly venture into the never-ending void of online tin foil hat nuttery in Conspiracy Corner, this is a good one - apparently the most hardcore MAGAs are totally paranoid about Alexa telling voters to vote for Harris, but their exposing of the flaw is backfiring on them in spectacular fashion! We also have a new "I Need A Drink" - there's not one, but two insane decorating trends making the news this week - refrigerator decorating and extreme dorm room decorating! Come on, this is peak capitalism here! Finally this week, in Road To The White House - Elon Musk attempts to use X's "GROK" AI bot to undermine Kamala Harris and boost Trump - and his attempts are backfiring on him spectacularly! This isn't 2016 anymore, we're onto you!

Edition #17-8: The Trump Who Cried Wolf Edition (10/3/24)
https://democraticunderground.com/100219530628

Live from UNLV - Las Vegas! Another day, another Trump assassination attempt, and yes, as you would expect, this one is even weirder and more unhinged than the last time. Oh and wait until you guess who the GOP is blaming for this one. Sigh. Meanwhile, in Texas, it looks like the end of an era as a judge finally plants the final nail in the coffin for the mad man of Infowars as Alex Jones is forced to liquidate all of his assets to pay the Sandy Hook families. Play stupid games, etc. In Missouri, a terrible injustice was done as the MAGA SCOTUS and governor Mike Parsons executed Marcellus Williams for a 1998 murder that he may have been innocent in. Elsewhere, if you thought that Trump's NFT trading cards and sneakers were ridiculous, wait until you check out his new line of $100,000 watches! And speaking of ridiculous things that cost $100,000, we debut our new segment chronicling the (mis)adventures of the world's most ridiculous vehicle on 4 wheels since the DMC Delorean in our new segment "Cyberstruck"! Elon never saw this one coming! And in our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in "Holy Shit", we have to take a break from chronicling our gripes about white nationalism and America's shift to becoming a totalitarian fascist theocracy to tell you what's at the box office this week - and whew, there are some seriously batshit options to choose from! We add full time Fox News correspondent, professional internet conspiracy theory shit poster, and part time Louisiana Congressman Clay Higgins (Q - Batshit) to the ever growing list of People Who Somehow Got Elected! And in our weekly venture into the never-ending world of online tin foil hat nuttery in Conspiracy Corner, did My Pillow's chief insurrectionist Mike Lindell intentionally price his crappy merchandise for the low price of $14.88, and did it trigger a Nazi dog whistle? Yes, both of these things happened! We also have a new People Are Dumb, because of course they are! Finally, in Road To The White House - Trump and Vance are going all in on the bizarre pet eating conspiracy floated at the debates, and it's costing them big time! Sigh...

Edition #17-9: I'm Not Shipping Up To Boston Edition (10/10/24)
https://democraticunderground.com/100219553929

Live from Gonzaga University in Spokane! As we were putting together last week's edition, Jack Smith went and unveiled some absolute bombshell new revelations in the Trump election interference case, which includes among other things, some forced rioting! WTF. In Los Angeles, some members of a white supremacist group get running fentanyl across the Mexican border! We are expecting crickets from Sean Hannity about this subject. Meanwhile, on the Gulf Coast - dock workers at the port of Miami are going on strike, which has set some people off in a needless hoarding frenzy again... gee, who's responsible for that, I wonder? We also take a look at the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene, and the Fox News appointed MAGA chuckle fucks in Congress are gearing up for an insanely evil tactic to delay federal aid to Georgia until after the election! Wanna lose the House and presidency? That's a good way to do it! And in a new We're All Gonna Die, think Helene is the only hurricane we'll experience this season? WRONG! The beatings will continue until morale improves! And in our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in "Holy Shit", it's been 20 years since Mel Gibson's magnum opus "The Passion Of The Christ" has been released, and he's revealed that there's a sequel coming next easter: Jesus 2: Electric Boogaloo! Oh wait, The Passion Of The Christ 2: Resurrection. We'll take a look at the movie and celebrate the Holy Shit way! We also have a new Beating A Dead Horse: A guy in Texas paid $4K for an autographed Taylor Swift guitar, only to destroy it. But it's not the only insane virtue signal out there! And in our weekly venture into the never ending world of online tin foil hat nuttery in Conspiracy Corner, a judge in Arizona finally threw the book at notorious election denier and Mike Lindell crony Tina Peters and it's glorious! And in a new "I Need A Drink" - tired of waiting for the rise of the machines? It's here! Google's radio AI bot became self aware last week and it set the internet off in a fiery tizzy! What's next? All podcasts are affected? Oh crap! Finally in our ongoing look at election coverage in Road To The White House, we recap the VP debates and it seems like JD Vance couldn't stop lying! We may need bigger keyboards to combat all of his lies!

Edition #17-10: Wheel Of Corruption & The Purple Crayon Edition (10/17/24)
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100219577384

Live from Northwestern University in Chicago! With just 24 days to go until the election, Bob Woodward drops an absolutely bombshell connection between Trump and Putin during the early days of COVID that is not that shocking, and we probably should have seen it coming, but will it change anyone's minds at this point? No. Yes, Trump did go to the World Economic Forum in Detroit where he again proceeded to publicly embarrass himself, but again, that probably won't change anyone's minds either. And with Hurricane Helene ravaging the Gulf Coast, we again, have to have a serious discussion about the inherent dangers of misinformation and disinformation. Which of course, can be solved by - STOP LISTENING TO STUPID PEOPLE!!! Which of course is leading to the GOP MAGA conspiracy theory chuckle fucks in Congress wreaking the havoc they were elected to by waging war on the one government agency that's trying to help them - FEMA. Fuck them! And in a new We're All Gonna Die - speaking of the hurricane, after the roof was ripped off of the Tampa Bay Rays' Tropicana Field like opening a sardine can, how safe is anything anymore? Well, we're all gonna die! And in our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in "Holy Shit" - yes, everyone knows about the Dark One's favorite Bible, and OK's superintendent Ryan Walters forcing religion on public schools despite that his forceis grossly unpopular, you'll be both surprised and disgusted to find out where this is heading! And we also add Ryan Walters (Q - Batshit) to the ever-growing list of People Who Somehow Got Elected! And in our weekly venture into the never-ending void of online tin foil hat nuttery in Conspiracy Corner, a growing faction of Q nuts are suggesting that Hurricane Helene was a bioweapon engineered by the Department Of Defense, but is it really more than the last 10 hurricanes? SMDH. And we also have a new "I Need A Drink" - Tik Tok is suggesting ways to keep your skin hydrated while you're on a long flight but really, are any of them good? Probably not. Finally in our ongoing election coverage in Road To The White House, yes, we have to talk about 3rd party candidates. Yes, there's no chance in hell of them winning everything, but there's a slight possibility they could add some headaches to the vote count.

Edition #17-11: If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power Edition (10/22/24)
https://democraticunderground.com/100219602756

Live from VIllanova Univesity! With just two weeks to go until the big election day, people are finally starting to question Trump's mental cognitive abilities after his bizarre press conference that became a disco. WTF is going on? And with Trump - normally not one to get his name in the news - canceling more appearances, even his close handlers aren't sure what to think of this mess, which means we could be one Big Mac away from a JD Vance dictatorship. Scary stuff! And could trans women be barred from playing sports? The bizarre conspiracy that originated in places like Infowars is rearing its' ugly head again - so is there any traction or is it just outrage bait? We're guessing the latter. And speaking of weird voting things, no, betting markets aren't an accurate source of polling. Hell, the polls aren't an accurate source of polling these days. In our segment on the most controversial vehicle made in 40 years, Cyberstruck - Tesla appears to be getting in the law enforcement game, but actual police departments are chucking the electric cars because they don't work for their needs! Shocking! And in our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in "Holy Shit" - could the right wing achieve their grand prize, which is a nationwide total abortion ban? We suspect this is why they are going all in on the Unholy Dark One! We profile Chino Hills' extremely controversial MAGA church pastor and Trump ass kissing cultist Jack Hibbs in a new edition of "This Fucking Guy"! And in a new edition of our weekly venture into the never-ending void of online tin foil hat nuttery in Conspiracy Corner, you'd think the armchair "election integrity" experts (term used loosely) in Texas are upping their game, and you'd think they would learn their lesson after the Cyber Ninjas failure. But never bet against the house! And in a new edition of "I Need A Drink", our friends across the pond in the UK are reeling from a bizarre cheating scandal in their sport "Conker", and oh yes, it's even weirder than you think it could be! And finally in our weekly election roundup in Road To The White House - Kamala decides to step out of her comfort zone for a Fox News interview - and the results of course vary depending on which shows you watch. Sigh.

Edition #17-12: We Need To Talk About Donny Edition (10/31/24)
https://democraticunderground.com/100219643749

Live from the University Of Michigan! Halloween Spooktacular! On the eve of the election, Donald Trump holds a rally at New York's Madison Square Garden that literally goes full Nazi, does this sound familiar? 1939, meet 2024. Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal drops a bombshell about Trump's BFF Elon Musk that he regularly communicated with Vladimir Putin prior to his hostile takeover of Twitter in 2022 - just another right wing political hit job! Speaking of hit jobs, two of the nation's largest newspapers - the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post - failed to endorse a candidate, and it's absolutely criminal. Democracy isn't dying in darkness, it's being murdered in broad daylight! And while we don't normally cover Trump's stupid rallies, his disasters in Traverse City and Pennsylvania have us wondering if this is a sign of things to come. In a new edition of our award winning journalism segment Top 10 Investigates, we delve into the new world of "biohacking", which claims to add years to your potential lifespan, but if you guessed it's riddled with scammers and false claims, you are correct! In our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in "Holy Shit", why do the holiest among us get even basic history and religion wrong every time? We don't have an answer, but we can point fingers at the people who are responsible! In our segment that exposes extreme corporate greed in Late Stage Capitalism, Disney gets in trouble for fully embracing artificial intelligence. Did we learn anything from last year's writer's strike? No. And in our weekly venture into the never-ending world of online tin foil hat nuttery in Conspiracy Corner, there's a growing number of far right conspiracy theorists, led by Mr. Brain Worm himself, Robert F. Kennedy Jr, that drinking raw milk is good for you. Spoiler alert: it isn't! Plus in a new I Need A Drink - 80s and 90s nostalgia is hitting hard as a once revered supermarket chain is finally shutting its' last location for good. Yes, K-Mart, we salute you with a Blue Light Martini! And finally, in our weekly roundup of election coverage in Road To The White House - think this election is going to spared from 3rd party madness? Well you're wrong, and there's a couple of new faces who could wreak havoc at the polls! Have we learned nothing from 2016? No.

Edition #17-13: We're Not Gonna Take It Edition (11/14/24)
https://democraticunderground.com/100219721918

Live from University Of Connecticut! Now that the dust has settled from the 2024, elections, we have to ask the question - America, what the absolute fuck is wrong with you? And there's so much information coming that we also have to ask the question - America, what the fuck is wrong with you? Yes, we're well aware that his bizarre MAGA cult is growing increasingly deranged and unhinged, and it may be a long time before that pandora's box is closed. We also find out exactly how bad things could possibly get the day after God King Fuckface is inaugurated and he has one party rule - things are going to get very ugly, very quickly! And in our segment that explores the ongoing quest for never-ending corporate greed in "Late Stage Capitalism", lost in the news, there's an ongoing strike at the New York Times between the newspaper and it's tech team. Enjoy playing Wordle? You might want to start finding alternatives. In our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in "Holy Shit", we're going to lighten the mood by talking about one of the unholy Dark One's minions and talking about the guy who put his name on the Bible and his song God Bless The USA - and he's even more unhinged than you might think! We also profile the man who will be in charge of "securing the border", Tom Homan, in a new This Fucking Guy, and whew, this fucking guy is a real piece of shit! Also in our weekly venture into the never-ending void of online tin foil hat nuttery in Conspiracy Corner - why does Trump's new health czar, Mr. Brain Worm himself, RFK Jr, keep saying he's going to remove fluoride from the water supply? It's every bit as crazy as it sounds! We also are going to lighten the mood by having some People Are Dumb, because of course they are! Finally in our new segment - Road To The Shit House - there's a new government agency we should be alarmed about - the Department Of Government Efficiency, a job they created just for Fuckface's personal helper monkey Elon Musk. Yup, we're going to be run by a meme!

Edition #17-14: Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap Edition (11/21/24)
https://democraticunderground.com/100219750173

Live from Rutgers University! Now that we got our frustrations from the results of the 2024 election out of the way, we have to talk about just how bad things are going to get - and as the song says, you ain't seen nothing yet! And because we like to educate as well as entertain, we're going to give you a guide on how to talk politics with your friends and relatives this Thanksgiving, because it's going to get ugly very quickly and you need to be prepared for it! And putting one of the most controversial members of Fuckface's party at the helm of the Department Of Health & Human Services, well, what could possibly go wrong there? A hell of a lot, because Mr. Brain Worm, RFK Jr, is a dangerous lunatic and even more dangerous than you could ever expect! Meanwhile, in a move that nobody saw coming and everyone saw as hilariously ironic, is that satirical newspaper The Onion, purchased Alex Jones' venerable Infowars outlet - one of the reasons we have a second term of Fuckface. So yes, it's hilarious! And we also have a new We're All Gonna Die. Yes, we're watching the saga of H5N1 (aka avian flu) with every bit of sheer terror as everyone else. With Brain Worm in charge, you have nothing to worry about (sarcasm)! In our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in "Holy Shit", why are MAGA pastors celebrating the Unholy Dark One's ascending to the throne the same way we'd expect ISIS or Al'Qaeda to? Well we can't quite put our finger on it! We profile neo-Nazi podcaster and professional Twitter shit poster Nick Fuentes in a new edition of "This Fucking Guy!". And in our weekly venture into the never-ending world of online tin foil hat nuttery in Conspiracy Corner, could Elon's X merge with Fuckface's Truth Social? It's both entirely possible and has been thrown around in the news a lot since the election. We also have a new I Need A Drink - Disney music celebrity Ariana Grande's mom wants her ashes spread at Disney World - and we're going to tell you why you shouldn't do that under any circumstances! And finally in our post-election coverage in Road To The Shithouse, yes, Fuckface's cabinet is every bit as bad as you think and he's just getting started!

Edition #17-15: Wheel Of Corruption: Frozen Empire Edition (12/5/24)
https://democraticunderground.com/100219792627

Live from Syracuse University! Joe Biden exercised his presidential pardon privilege and finally pardoned his embattled son Hunter, but MAGA and Fox News of course won't shut up about it! Meanwhile, the president of Mexico issues a stern warning to Fuckface about his proposed tariff scheme, and squashes a few Fox News talking points in the process! Speaking of tariffs, we need to have a talk and explain exactly what they are, and how Fuckface could permanently damage international trade for the next several generations, all so Elon can make more money. Meanwhile, the WORST Congress in American history continues to wreak all the havoc it can as Nancy Mace (Q - Batshit) declares war on trans people in Congress. And speaking of Elon Musk, could the Muskrat's DOGE pretend agency do all the damage it's threatening to do? Probably and probably not. Plus in a new "We're All Gonna Die", we could all actually die from this one, as premier Russian warlord and future overlord of earth, Vladimir Putin, has issued a dire threat to build the deadliest nukes possible. Although since the Ruble crashed, we're calling his bluff. And in our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in "Holy Shit", sigh, with the unfortunate ascension of the Unholy Dark One to the highest throne, we have to deal with the return of one of his more bizarre niche groups of fans - "the Prophets". Yes, "the Prophets" are back and they are just as batshit insane as ever, and we have the clips! Plus we profile Fox News correspondent and Orange Fuckface's new "border czar" Pete Hegseth in a new "This Fucking Guy". You thought Tom Homan was bad, you ain't seen nothing yet! And in our weekly venture into the never-ending void of online conspiracy theory depravity in Conspiracy Corner - since the current strain of avian flu - H5N1 - jumped to cows, producers of raw milk are in a rage because California shut down a known raw milk producer. Really, people, do we have to explain why you shouldn't do this? WTF. And in a new I Need A Drink - it's December which means the return of our favorite Christmas themed convention - Santa Con! Yes, the Ho Ho Ho-iest convention of them all is leaving the confines of New York City and going nationwide! We'll tell you where it's coming! Finally this week in Road To The Shithouse - yes, we have to talk about one of the things that got Fuckface elected - the trans issue, and it's every bit as weird as you might expect!

Edition #17-16: Death Of An Insurance Salesman Edition (12/12/24)
https://democraticunderground.com/100219815369

Live from UCLA! As we were going live last week, the world was shocked when the CEO of United Healthcare was murdered in New York City, and wait until you hear about all of the truly evil shit he was up to prior to his unfortunate murder. Meanwhile, in Fuckface news, his nomination of neo Nazi Fox News correspondent Pete Hegseth gets weirder and weirder. Will he make it? Probably not. Plus with more and more stories of Fuckface voters experiencing buyer's remorse - we have to ask - is the "honeymoon" period over? MAGA fans are still swooning but the rest of us have had enough! Quit watching Fox! And speaking of Fuckface, his new "DOGE" department that's mainly meant to give his personal helper monkey Elon Musk something to do, how much damage could this new "department" actually do? It will be like putting a bull in a china shop and then trying to put back together the pieces. Ugh. And speaking of Elon, in our ongoing segment about the world's worst vehicle in "Cyberstruck" - it's official - the Cybertruck is the most unreliable vehicle in Consumer Reports history, while the nation's two biggest insurance providers - State Farm and Progressive - are threatening to not insure them! Elon just wants to watch the world burn! And in our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in "Holy Shit", is the hostile takeover of the US government by the church looking increasingly inevitable? Yes, and it's going to be led by the worst people you know, including his Unholiness himself! And in our segment about never-ending corporate greed in Late Stage Capitalism - PC gaming equipment manufacturer NZXT is in a heap of trouble by some prominent gaming Youtubers over its' extremely predatory rent to own PC program, and it's even shadier than you think it is when you strip it down to the details! In our weekly venture into the never-ending void of online tin foil hat nuttery in "Conspiracy Corner", the guy at the center of the California raw milk recall could soon be finding his way into the FDA - what could go wrong there? Ban the shit already! And in a new "I Need A Drink", it's winter time, which of course means new Hallmark movies, and one is absolutely dominating the streaming and discussion - "Hot Frosty", and we will have to find out what's up with that! Finally this week in Road To The Shithouse, we have to discuss some of Fuckface's new and even scarier cabinet nominees - yes he's actually appointing these people to positions they do not belong in! Ugh.

Edition #17-17: 2024 Year In Review Edition (12/15/24)
https://democraticunderground.com/100219835441

Live from Santa Ana! It's our season finale which means it's time for our annual look back at the year that was! 2024 started out looking promising as January and February indicated that the worst thing Fox News had to worry about was a non existent border "crisis" that they escalated. March and April saw Biden's approval ratings drop at the beginning of the presidential primary season, while it seemed like it was inevitable that the GOP would rally behind Orange Fuckface again. May and June saw Orange Fuckface getting his much deserved sentence in his sexual assault trial, while completely ignoring those other trials he was on, which of course, started staging more people to his cause, which is... some weird form of patriotism we're not used to. July and August had the "assassination" attempt on Fuckface, while Joe Biden finally dropped out of the scene because of peer pressure and his performance in the first debate which can be boiled down to five words: "Shut the fuck up, Donny". September and October was 100% about the election, with Fuckface making an extremely weird series of speech appearances while he denied debates, and Kamala stepping in for Biden and enjoying a surge in popularity. November and December ended with the WORST ELECTION IN UNITED STATES HISTORY, while the CEO of United Healthcare was murdered near his NYC home by an unknown assailant and unwittingly got America to pay attention to healthcare again. Plus in our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in "Holy Shit", it's the end of the year which means it's time for our annual year-end roundup and our look ahead to what the wacky world of the religious right is going to be up to next year! We finally profile Fuckface's personal helper monkey, the mad man of Tesla, and mega billionaire Elon Musk in a new This Fucking Guy! We also have a new People Are Dumb, which is our favorite People Are Dumb because we have the best of the best, the stupidest of the stupid, for 2024! And finally in Road To The Shithouse, we have some final thoughts about Orange Turdburglar's election and what we can expect next year when he takes office and the shit hits the fan! Ugh.
