    Ep. 36: Thieving Little Shit Elon Musk's Coup Is Still Going

    The legacy media has abandoned us in favor of sucking up to oligarchs and fascism. Find voices you trust (other than me) and subscribe where you can. Independent voices like the Opinionated Ogre will be needed in the coming days and we will require your support. This podcast is free but for $5 a month or just $50 a year, you can keep the lights on. Musk walked his pet president little Doggie Donnie into the Oval Office and had him sit and play gimp in front of the legacy press while making sure everyone knew who was really in charge. But, you know, don’t call it a coup. We’re still in the thick of it and nothing is going to make us stop giving you the news and analysis you need to hear. Fascism thrives in silence so come listen to us laugh and rage at the f***s trying to destroy America. Ogre Nation News Update! 2:55 - 16:35 Musk’s coup is systematically crippling the parts of the government that can interfere with his corrupt businesses. 16:36 - 24:12 Republicans launch the next stage of their coup: Attacking the courts. 24:13 - 37:30 Republican cowards confirm Tulsi Gabbard, a known Russian sympathizer to a position where she can funnel classified information to Putin. And then there’s Captain Brainworm taking the reins right when a pandemic looms… 37:31 - 41:44 Trump's racist and poorly planned immigration raids are disrupting other parts of the government. Was that on purpose or because he’s a f*****g moron? 41:45 - 48:47 This week in vomit-inducing racism 48:48 - 53:45 Headlines for Short Attention Spans 53:46 - 1:02:02 Shit We’re Watching This Week 1:02:03 Happy Birthday.

    Ep. 34: Republicans Shoot Themselves In The Foot. Again (Special Guest: Lila!)

    The Opinionated Ogre Podcast is 100% listener-supported. 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! If not, it’s all good. Welcome to the Ogre Nation anyway! We have a special treat for you this week! Shannon and I have our very first special guest! Lila the Opinionated Teen! If we have to talk about terrible things, we might as well do it in enjoyable company. Lila was crazy nervous to join us but after she and Shannon spent 30 minutes bonding over rap beefs and their mutual love of Megan Thee Stallion, she relaxed and did fantastic. We loved having her on and she needs lots of encouragement from you, our beloved audience, if she’s ever going to return. Give Lila some Ogre Nation love! Also, this is the episode where I come out as Bi. I do, in fact, like both Star Trek AND Star Wars. I’m Bi-Starxual. Ogre Nation News Update 3:35 - 18:42 The tragic accident at Regan National Airport lays bare the incompetence and inhumanity of the Trump regime. You voted for cruel assholes who politicize the deaths of children and that’s what you got, America. 18:43 - 39:41 Trump’s regime is completely lawless and that’s the entire point. They’re engaged in a war on the entire concept of the rule of law. The silver lining is that they’re still very stupid. 39:42 - 47:30 The immigration raids are just as ugly as we imagined and then some. Also, Stephen Miller is about to get his long-dreamed-of concentration camp to start exterminating the people he hates. 47:31 - 51:10 Ron DeSantis has lost his mojo as he faces a rebellion in his own kingdom of Florida 51:11 - 58:20 RFK Jr. is a monster and any Democrat who even hints they will vote for him needs to be removed from the party. 58:21 - 1:05:27 Headlines For Short Attention Spans! 1:05:28 - 1:14:30 Shit We’re Watching This Week! Things We Mention In The Show After another loss to the Chiefs, the Bills are still closer than they seem 2 figure skaters from The Skating Club of Boston, their mothers and coaches among DC plane crash victims The FAA is facing a major crisis without a leader because Elon Musk pushed him out Trump fires heads of TSA, Coast Guard and guts key aviation safety advisory committee Trump fires multiple federal inspectors general in overnight purge Trump fires senior labor board official in ‘unprecedented and illegal’ move Trump White House rescinds memo freezing federal money after widespread confusion Trump says U.S. will send 'worst criminal illegal aliens' to Guantánamo Bay Kansas officials say tuberculosis outbreak is largest on record in US history Get full access to The Opinionated Ogre at opinionatedogre.substack.com/subscribe

    Ep. 32 Trump's A Terrorist, Not A President

    The Opinionated Ogre Podcast is 100% listener-supported. 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! If not, it’s all good. Welcome to the Ogre Nation anyway! Well, here we are on the other side. Bleh. Trump 2.0 is a shitshow of idiocy, lawlessness, and corruption and it’s been three whole days. Gonna be a looong four years. The most important thing to remember is that this is a marathon, not a sprint. Trump and his puppeteers want you exhausted and scared, and they really REALLY want you to surrender. F**k these assholes. Give them nothing. Do it out of pure spite if you have to. Shannon and I will be here for you, week after week, holding these fascists f***s accountable even as the legacy press surrenders completely. Ogre Nation News Update! 3:16 -14:05 Trump’s sad and petty inauguration 14:06 - 29:34 An Opinionated Ogre PSA: Do. Not.

    Ep. 32: An Alcoholic Nazi Rapist For Sec. Of Defense? Yay!

    The Opinionated Ogre Podcast is 100% listener-supported. 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! If not, it’s all good. Welcome to the Ogre Nation anyway! This week’s episode is live, people! Gotta say, I wasn’t expecting much from Republicans and they really lived down my expectations. What a goddamn embarrassment. There are no good Republicans. All of them are craven cowards and that does not bode well for the next four years. Just remember, when this is all over and the tribunals begin, none of them get to hide from what they’ve done. They all knew what they were doing and they did it anyway. Ogre Nation New Update: 2:13 - 17:47 The Pete Hegseth confirmation hearing was exactly the craven display of Republican cowardice we were all expecting. 17:48 - 27:32 If Trump isn’t a Nazi, why is he planning an anti-immigrant propaganda blitz? 27:33 - 34:54 Florida is engaged in genocide against trans people. Don’t like that word? Find a better one to describe erasing an entire population of people. 34:55 - 42:00 Anti-vaxxers are dangerously stupid and should have their children taken away. 42:01 - 48:19 There’s a new ceasefire deal in Gaza. Maybe? 48:20 - 55:51 Headlines For Short Attention Spans! Things We Discuss During The Show Victims’ shoes speak volumes at U.S. Holocaust museum High risk: anti-vaxxers in the delivery ward Get full access to The Opinionated Ogre at opinionatedogre.substack.com/subscribe
