Welcome to the Ogre Nation anyway! Republicans continue to prove that they are unfit to govern, leading us down a path that will cost lives for decades to come, even as the legacy press continues to bend the knee in abject surrender. When the regime falls, and it will, everyone has to be held accountable for selling out democracy to pad their f*****g bank accounts. Ogre Nation News Update! 2:40 - 12:48 The regime pays back half a billion in filthy fossil fuel donations by killing a crucial Obama-era EPA legal ruling. Enjoy all the extra pollution courtesy of the “both sides are just as bad!” crowd. Florida Woman Rants gives a short history lesson about Love Canal. 12:49 - 22:38 Gallup obeys in advance and ends presidential approval polls because Trump’s numbers are in the s*****r. CBS manages to go from bad to unbelievably worse all in the same week. The legacy press continues to fail us. 22:39 - 25:40 As we enter the third government shutdown of Trump’s second term in office, we see the results of electing people who despise the very concept of government. 25:41 - 31:41 You Scream, I Scream, We All Scream Because of F*****g ICE 31:42 - 35:52 We Live in the Stupidest Timeline - I give a little Ogre history lesson about Lysenkoism. 35:53 - 46:56 Headlines for Short Attention Spans 46:57 - 53:10 Self-care of the Week Get full access to The Opinionated Ogre at opinionatedogre.substack.com/subscribe

Welcome to the Ogre Nation anyway! Between pedophiles and traitors, there doesn’t seem to be a single honest grifter in the entire Trump regime. Gone are the good ol’ days when Republicans just lined their pockets with good ol’ ‘Murikan greed. Now they’re either working for hostile foreign nations or raping children, or frequently both. #NurembergThemAll Ogre Nation News Update 3:00 - 7:14 Tulsi Gabbard is protecting someone close to Trump who is (presumably) doing something very illegal with a foreign government. We don’t know what. We don’t know who. But this reeks of treason. 7:15 - 25:20 Bad Bunny electrified the nation with a Super Bowl performance for the record books. Watching the right melt down into a puddle of racist outrage was just the icing on the cake. Also, Super Bowl commercials mostly suck now. 25:21 - 36:10 Europe is coming for the pedophiles in the Epstein files. America? Not so much. Here, the pedophiles are protected by the very people who swore to destroy them. 36:11 - 47:37 You Scream, I Scream, We All Scream Because of F*****g ICE 47:38 - 1:00:30 Headlines for Short Attention Spans 1:00:30 - 1:06:45 Self-Care of the Week Get full access to The Opinionated Ogre at opinionatedogre.substack.com/subscribe

    Ep. 84: Trump Panics, Doubles Down On Being A Dick(tator)

Please help us continue to inform/amuse/outrage you by becoming a supporting subscriber today for only $5 a month or just $50 a year (a 17% discount!)! If not, it’s all good. Welcome to the Ogre Nation anyway! This was another week that displayed enormous weakness for a regime that depends on the illusion of absolute strength. A wounded and dying animal is at its most dangerous, but that doesn’t change the fact that the animal is wounded and dying. Come join the Ogre Nation Conversation and let’s talk about it! Nerd Bonus! Guest host Frederic Poag and I spend a whole lot of time yapping about RPGs after the show. Ogre Nation News Update! 3:03 - 9:23 Trump ramps up his attack on the free press because now that the legacy press is collapsing, he has to silence independent voices next. A sign of strength? Hardly. 9:24 - 16:35 The regime raids the Fulton County election office in Georgia. Tulsi Gabbard was there, too. The regime is straight-up panicking about the midterms, and this is what that looks like. 16:36 - 34:10 Nazis swarm the Opinionated Ogre newsletter because calls for accountability terrify the “party of personal responsibility” more than death and taxes combined. 34:10 - 36:45 A bit of breaking news about a big tough manly MAGAt that got arrested in Texas after attacking a teenage girl and then getting his ass beat like a drum by her classmates. 36:48 - 46:01 You Scream, I Scream, We All Scream Because of F*****g ICE 46:02 1:15:05 Headlines for Short Attention Spans! 1:15:06 - 1:20:50 Self-Care of the Week 1:22:34 - 1:29:15 Ogre and Fred’s super nerdy aftershow discussion about different RPGs 1:29:17 - 1:36:07 Fred’s extended D&D selfcare segment Get full access to The Opinionated Ogre at opinionatedogre.substack.com/subscribe

    Episode 83: Minneapolis TACOs Are Delicious

Please help us continue to inform/amuse/outrage you by becoming a supporting subscriber today for only $5 a month or just $50 a year (a 17% discount!)! If not, it’s all good. Welcome to the Ogre Nation anyway! The regime goes too far in Minnesota and is forced to back down in the face of public outrage. The violence is far from over, and things will only get worse from here as the regime panics and tightens its grip, but this was a test of their power, and they failed. The illusion of fascist infallibility, control, and public support is shattered. Stay strong. The fascists are afraid, and we have to keep them afraid until they break. Ogre Nation News Update! 4:12 - 8:49 Ilhan Omar attacked by a “f*****g a*****e.” Trump’s stochastic terrorism strikes again. 8:50 - 42:15 ICE murders another innocent person in Minneapolis, and America rises up to smack down the fascist regime. 42:22 - 57:25 Headlines for Short Attention Spans 57:26 - 1:02:21 Self-Care of the Week 1:03:40 - 1:12:30 - Bonus Punch The Nazi track! Florida Woman and I went off on a whole tangent about the GOP and Nazis that broke the flow of the show, so we cut it and put it at the end.

    Diogenes Club, E3: Welcome to the Club

    Fascism thrives on fear. It wilts under scrutiny. Never look away. Never stop fighting. Hold them accountable and make them pay for every cruel thing they do. It’s the only way we get through this. Support this newsletter for just $5 a month or $50 a year and we’ll get through together. Had a chat with some nerds, a doctor, and a bachelor yesterday about what a piece of shit Michael Cohen is, the dying racism of white power, how the press protects the GOP, and how Nazis should meet the end of a hangman’s noose. It was fun, you should totally watch us cook. :) Thank you Cat, Cris, Jeanne Elbe, Ea Himmelbjerg 🌿, San, and many others for tuning into my live video with Evan Fields, Walter Rhein, Eric Lullove, and Nick Paro!

Welcome to the Ogre Nation anyway! Year One was an epic clusterfuck of evil. Year Two? Not going as well for the fascist f***s as Year One. And it’s only going to get worse for them going forward.

Ogre Nation News Update! 5:55 - 27:05 One year in, and the regime is trying to cover up its weakness with increasingly violent attacks on Americans. 27:06 - 37:27 The midterms are coming at us fast, and the blue wave is only getting larger. Now the Senate is in play, too. Teehee. 37:28 - 43:05 Trump has a new scam: 19th-century colonialism? 43:06 - 53:15 Scenes From a Crashing Economy 53:16 - 1:07:08 Headlines for Short Attention Spans 1:07:09 - 1:11:52 Self-care of the Week 1:13:25 - 1:14:42 The rest of Frederic’s Football TED Talk from the opening. 😆😆😆 Get full access to The Opinionated Ogre at opinionatedogre.substack.com/subscribe
