    Ep.116: What Will The Next Two Years Look Like?

    Everything that happens after the midterms will be terrible…for Republicans. It’s not going to be great for the country, but it’s going to be REALLY bad for the GOP. Donald Trump will melt down into a puddle of narcissistic injury after being rejected AGAIN by the entire nation. It was his brilliant idea to force himself on the ballot and he will own the massive loss his party of pedophiles, Nazis, and grifters is about to suffer. No matter how many times he says he didn’t lose, everyone will blame him, and Trump will know the vote was a referendum on how much he’s loathed by America. That will lead the thin-skinned dictator wannabe to spend two years taking revenge on the people he’s supposed to be governing. Trump’s suicide run will be horrific, and he will drag the entire Republican Party down into the depths of hell with him. But not the rest of us, because no matter what this deranged, treasonous kiddie rapist does, he will never break us. We are about to break him and his regime. The ballot is stronger than the bully.

    Ep. 115: ICE Tries To Murder Another Latino Deliveryman

    ICE was never a good idea. It was always a cesspit filled with racists hoping to cleanse America of the people they hated. Now? It’s a rabid animal that has to be put down. There is no fixing ICE. It cannot be redeemed or returned to its core mission. This IS its core mission. It always was. The only difference is that they’ve stopped pretending to be law enforcement. ICE has become the fascist white nationalist paramilitary weapon it was intended to be from the start. Abolish ICE. Fire every agent. Ban them from law enforcement for life. Charge them with crimes against humanity. Lock them up for 25 years. Execute the ones responsible for murder. Send the clear and unambiguous message that America will no longer tolerate lawless fascism. #NurembergThemAll The Opinionated Ogre Podcast is 100% listener-supported.

    Ep. 114: Nuremberg Them All

    Ogre Note: DERP goes the Ogre! Thursday’s upload was broken, and since I was offline the rest of the day except for a few quick notes, I didn’t realize. That was sloppy of me, and I apologize. The full episode has been uploaded, I swear!, and it’s all good now. Donald Trump will not be able to use the United States Postal Service to rig the midterm elections. That was his last, best hope to legal steal our votes and keep his party of Nazis and pedophiles in power. The pressure Trump has put on the USPS to act illegally is so intense, his handpicked Postmaster General wants to quit. With this last avenue closed to him, Trump will be forced to resort to desperate and ham-fisted measures. They will be so obviously illegal in nature, none of it will work. But everyone involved will be exposed to severe legal jeopardy. Democrats have a window of opportunity to nuke the fascist movement from orbit by having their state Attorney General press charges against every single fascist f**k that dares to touch a ballot or harass a voter. Make the fascists absolutely paranoid that coming within 30 miles of the 2028 election will land them in prison for 20 years. Make the lawless afraid of the rule of law again. That’s how we start to take our country back. The Opinionated Ogre Podcast is 100% listener-supported.

Main Stories 3:44 - 15:00 Florida’s illegal concentration camp was far worse than we thought it was, yet somehow exactly what we expected. 15:01 - 22:40 SCOTUS shoots down Trump’s plan to use the Post Office to rig the midterms. Now the regime is desperate. Scenes from a Crashing Economy 22:41 - 31:45 The oil crunch just got a lot worse. Here comes the pain. 31:46 - 35:05 The Bond Market is getting ugly. This stuff is nerdy and confusing, but will still hit your wallet like a sledgehammer. 35:06 - 41:05 The real reason for the “AI will kill us all!” hype. Hint: A trillion-dollar bailout is coming. Headlines for Short Attention Spans 41:06 - 45:00 Failson Trump Jr. had a Putin-connected Russian oligarch (is there any other kind?) pay for two days of after-wedding parties. The press is curiously incurious after YEARS of screaming about Hunter Biden’s “corruption.” 45:01 - 46:40 Joe Manchin and John Fetterman continue to prove the saying, “With friends like these, who needs enemies?” 46:41 - 48:20 Trump is murdering the Kennedy Center because he can’t put his name on it. What fascism cannot control, it destroys. 48:21 - 50:57 The Very Serious Anti-Trump Conspiracy Investigation is falling apart. We’re shocked. 50:58 - 54:00 Democrats are planning to train 100,000 volunteers to watch and report on Republican interference at the polls. 54:01 - 1:00:50 Trump is pushing a very VERY unpopular pro-Flock camera message right before the midterms.

    Ep. 113: Happy $100/Barrel of Oil Day, America!

    Are you wondering why gas is getting more expensive again? Have you, perhaps, noticed that the price of diesel is higher than you’ve ever seen it? Why is it going back up if the Strait of Hormuz has been closed this entire time? Well, a little bit of oil was trickling through, but that’s over for now. But more importantly, the mitigation efforts we had in place have been used up, and now there’s jackshit we can do to stop the death spiral of energy prices, especially now that the cold weather is moving in and people will be heating their homes soon. Donald Trump and his regime of incompetent imbeciles started a war they can’t end, and now we’re all going to pay the (higher) price. The only upside is that the strategic geniuses at the White House managed to use up all of their gimmicks to hold down the price of gas before the midterms. That lack of planning is going to punch them right in their stupid f*****g faces. Ha. Ha. Ha. Want to hear the rest? Come join the Ogre Nation Conversation!

Trump’s moronic war of choice is pushing energy prices back up, and we’ve used up our mitigation efforts! Right before the midterms! Masterful electoral gambit, sir! 5:25 - 19:05 It’s been 25 years since 9/11, and Republicans are still trying to recapture the high of crushing our civil liberties under the guise of “national security” and toxic patriotism. A Republican tried to murder a Democratic candidate this week. But it’s not domestic terrorism, and the GOP’s nonstop violent rhetoric isn’t repsonsible. Sure is weird how that works… We Live in the Stupidest Timeline 24:07 - 28:31 RFK Jr. is a f*****g monster, and he’s trying to cover up the child deaths from his ongoing measles outbreak. 28:32 - 41:05 Pennsylvania is struggling with a local outbreak of the deadly disease. Except instead of taking precautions to protect its most vulnerable, babies in the neonatal ICU, one hospital is shrugging its shoulders and shouting “YOLO!” We really do live in the stupidest timeline. Florida Woman Rants and I go into a full-on “F**k the anti-vaxxer!” rant here. Headlines for Short Attention Spans 42:07 - 47:46 Trump’s “New America” tweet is a desperate bid to distract the country from his legion of failures. But it’s not working anymore… 47:47 - 49:30 The Missouri Supreme Court made Trump cry big, sobby tears of rage 49:31 - 51:15 Marco Rubio has a piece of shit Nazi as his head speechwriter because of COURSE HE DOES 51:16 - 56:15 The regime let TPS protections for 170,000 Salvadorans expire so they can push them into illegal status and hunt them like animals. 56:16 - 1:10:10 MAGA is dying, and we have a way to directly measure it 1:10:11 - 1:05:54 The GOP’s grand gerrymandering experiment is biting them in their cheating fascist asses.

    Ep. 112: America’s Greatest Enemy Is...Canada?

    Trump turning on our allies doesn’t make any sense unless his goal is to weaken America. Since he’s a Russian asset and has been since the 80s, yeah, not really a surprise. But why the concerted whole-of-government effort to demonize Canada, CANADA, of all places? Does Trump hate hockey? Do moose and Canadian geese offend him? Did Celine Dion give him the cold shoulder once? The answer may lie in how Russia views Ukraine: As a threat and a prize to pillage. A threat insofar as Canada is a free and open democracy thriving on our very large shared border while we become a failing autocracy. But also a prize filled with natural resources to plunder, guarded by a vastly inferior military. Trump’s fascist America can’t just invade such a country. But after years of deliberate antagonism, and provocation and demagoguery, wouldn’t you know it? 38% of Republicans see Canada, CANADA!, as a hostile threat. Crazy and tinfoil hat stuff? So was Project 2025. Substack has been slowly choking off traffic to smaller newsletters and podcasts like this for more than a year.

The legacy press kind of glossed over WHY we’re in a new trade war with Canada. And why, exactly, has the regime decided the greatest threat to the United States is our closest ally? You’re not going to like the answer. 16:27 - 20:30 The regime is escalating its attack on the elderly and disabled as part of its quiet eugenics programs to cull the herd. #NurembergThemAll. Every last one of these Nazi f***s. 20:31 - 27:51 America’s food supply is becoming dangerous, and that is by design. We are living through a grand libertarian experiment. And like all libertarian experiments, it’s stupid, doesn’t work, and we’ve already done this before. Time for a history lesson. I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream Because of F*****g ICE 27:52 - 32:11 Nazi cosplayer Greg Bovino is taking the grifter’s road because of COURSE he is. 32:12 - 39:57 Milo Yiannopolous got deported. Ha. Ha. F*****g Ha. Headline for Short Attention Spans! 39:58 - 42:15 Homeland Security is abusing an obscure law to spy on journalists. Where my free speech advocates at? Greenwald? Taibbi? Nothing?! F**k you. 42:16 - 45:41 Trump has ordered a midterm convention where everyone will praise the Dear Leader. There’s just ONE little problem… 45:42 - 49:04 Texas Republicans are panicking as James Talarico mops the floor with criminal Ken Paxton. Cue the election rigging. 49:05 - 50:45 HAHAHAHAHA! Pete Hegseth wants to run for president! Oh please, oh please, oh please! 50:46 - 51:55 Mass Murderer RFK Jr. knows who to blame for kids dying from measles: Doctors and the press. 51:56 - 55:08 The GOP’s ban on abortion is forcing women to get the care they need later, and it’s hurting women. Just like the “pro-life” party of misogyny planned. 55:09 - 57:57 Some good news: The wildly unpopular Trump has ordered his cult to praise him as their midterm closing message. Masterful gambit, sir! 57:28 - 59:47 “Weak” candidate Abdul El-Sayed is leading his Republican opponent despite weeks of the legacy press trying to sabotage him. Teehee!

    Trump is such a man of the people, he wants to dump cheap, toxic ground beef on the market for the peasants to buy!

    Ep. 110: Infinite Money For Stupid Trump Shit

    When the history books are written about this blighted period of American history, they will marvel at how a country founded explicitly on the rejection of an unconstrained executive allowed a wannabe tyrant to flush billions of dollars down the drain on nonsensical vanity projects and dementia-fueled whims. From mutilating the White House to crippling our modern aircraft carriers by demanding outdated technology, Trump is a dying old man desperate to force everyone to remember him and throwing a temper tantrum until things are back “the way they used to be!” I can’t wait until it’s all erased and nothing is left. I hope Trump lives long enough to see his “legacy” vanish so he can die in total despair. Can you think of a better fate for a malignant narcissist than to be forgotten while he’s alive and raging? Ha Ha Ha. The Opinionated Ogre is a Stay-at-Home parent first, foul-mouthed hater of fascist Republicans second. He’s been making the most horrible people in the country miserable for over 15 years, and the hate he feels for American Nazis is eternal and without limits.
