Top 10 Conservative Idiots #17-15: Wheel Of Corruption: Frozen Empire Edition

Welcome back to the Top 10 Conservative Idiots! Yoooooooooooooooooooooo!!! What’s up Syracuse, how you guys doing? Sold us out again! You guys doing fucking good? Great! So we’ve only got 3 more Top 10s before the end of the year and our planned extended hiatus. Because like I keep saying, we got to take a break, because this stupid election cycle nearly brought us to the breaking point and it had the worst possible outcome of any election in United States history. One party rule. We’re venturing into uncharted territory here. But we’re taking a break for a while because we definitely need to get our heads straight. Hopefully we still have a country when we come back from our long slumber, but who knows if that’s going to happen? Ugh… this is a totally fucked up situation this country got itself into and it's only going to get worse. So we’ve got just two more Top 10s before our long break with our last being our famous year end round up, and we can’t wait to blow up this shitty year and send it packing into the dustbin of history! Do we have time for the thing? Of course we do! And trust us, we’re going to go into great detail on this subject next week, but we’ve got to talk about Hallmark movies. Some people are obsessed with these fucking things. But none have been the topic of discussion more than one movie that’s been released this year – Hot Frosty. Yes, Hot Frosty is a Hallmark movie made for Netflix about a woman, played by Lacey Chabert, who brings a snowman to life, who inexplicably takes the form of a Chippendale’s dancer. And this movie is a phenomenon. It’s insane what this movie has inspired. And of course, if you don’t have ridiculous merchandise, it doesn’t exist, right? Well, yeah in the spite of all the weirdness going on around the world, why not give it some Christmas cheer? Come on, ho ho ho, right ladies? OK before that gets weird, enough of the intro! We have a lot of idiocy to get to. But first – Stephen Colbert gives his insight on the Hunter Biden pardon:

Come on, kids! Say it with me! It’s time for the WHEEL OF CORRUPTION! YAY!!!! So where do we begin this week? In the number one slot, is Fox News (1). I’m sure by now you’ve all heard the brew ha ha with Hunter Biden finally being pardoned by his dad, and yes it’s causing both the MAGA and Fox world to seethe with anger. Keep seething, assholes! In the second slot this week is of course incoming president Orange Fuckface (2) and this week – while he’s waving his tariffs around in the same way a terrorist or mass shooter would wave around their AK-47s, the president of Mexico quietly put an end to his idiocy, but that won’t stop him. Nothing will stop him. In the third slot this week, speaking of tariffs (3), we need to do some edumacation! Yes, because just like last time when we gave you some fuel for your Thanksgiving dinner conversations, this week, we have to have a discussion about what Fuckface’s insane tariffs are going to do to not just the US economy, but the world economy. And well, none of it is good! Taking the fourth slot this week is Nancy Mace (4). Yes, the worst House in United States history - Fox News sponsored MAGA Qongress, got back to work and it’s great to see that Mike Johnson is getting back to the things that matter – banning trans people from using the proper bathroom. And none were more triggered by it than Nancy Mace – who showed full on mental illness in this process. This country is losing its’ damn mind. In the number 5 slot this week is a new We’re All Gonna Die (5) and what’s going to kill us all this week? Nuclear weapons! And the Moscow mad man himself – Vladimir Putin – has made good on his threat to produce “the deadliest weapon”. So what is it? There is of course only one way to find out! In the number 6 slot this week is of course our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in “Holy Shit” (6), and this week, with the selection of the Unholy Dark One to his position on the throne (yes, that’s a poop joke), comes with him the return of a most unwelcome group of people – the Prophets! Yes, the MAGA prophets are back and crazier than ever, and we’ll tell you some of their more insane prophecies! In the number 7 slot this week is a new “This Fucking Guy” (7) and this week, we’re profiling former Fox News host and current probably convicted felon who’s the newest member of Fuckface’s cabinet from hell – Pete Hegseth in a new “This Fucking Guy”! Taking the number 8 slot this week is of course our weekly venture into the never-ending void of online tin foil hat nuttery in Conspiracy Corner (8) and this week – the state of California shut down a producer of the drink that is drawing in MAGA conservatives – raw milk, and well, if you are even thinking about indulging in a glass at this point, you’re truly beyond help. In the number 9 (NEIN!!!) slot this week, we have a new I Need A Drink (9) and this week, it’s December, which means that time of year, which means the return of everyone’s favorite Christmas themed convention, SantaCon! But this year, there’s a twist! The jollier-than-thou crowd was traditionally confined to the space of New York City, but it’s branching out all over America! No one is safe from this hard-drinking, hard-partying group of Santas! Finally this week in our ongoing election coverage in Road To The Shithouse (10), we have to talk about the issue that may have steered folks to vote for Fuckface – the trans bathroom issue. And no, media, we didn’t get it wrong, they unleashed a firestorm of hatred. And unfortunately, that’s what the United States is in 2024, and it’s really scary! Finally, to top things off, we have some live music from the great Foster The People! Buy their new album “Paradise State Of Mind” or you’re no friend of this program! Enjoy! And as always don't forget the key!

Let’s start by giving the wheel a good strong spin, shall we? And it lands on… wait for it… oh hey, one of our patented Clips Without Context!

LMAO! Someone want to tell Patel that the US doesn’t operate under a monarchy and we don’t tolerate that sort of thing? SMDH! Spin it again! And it lands on… Fox News!

Let me ask you something – do you always love it when the bullies get shot down at their own game after making fun of you for so long? I know I do! The term that you’re looking for, I believe, is called “schadenfreude”, which is the German word for taking joy at the suffering of others. So what am I getting at, you might ask? Well, last weekend, Joe Biden put an end to the endless harassment coming from Fox News and MAGA about his embattled son Hunter, by pardoning him, which he should have done before the campaign started. But now that he’s got six weeks left of his term and nothing left to lose, what fucks does President Biden have left to give? None if you ask us! Well, that’s exactly what he did in issuing the pardon. What’s Marjorie Shit For Brains going to do now besides fantasize about Hunter Biden’s dick pics? She might actually have to do her real job for once. Well, needless to say MAGA and everyone who’s drinking the Fox News Kool-Aid is having an absolutely epic meltdown over this pardon and we’re going to just sit back and let the MAGA tears flow freely while they pout over their latest outrage.

The judge who presided over the California tax fraud case against Hunter Biden called out the president for mischaracterizing and minimizing the charges against his son in announcing why he was pardoning him.

"The Constitution provides the President with broad authority to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, but nowhere does the Constitution give the President the authority to rewrite history," U.S. District Judge Mark C. Scarsi wrote in a ruling late Tuesday.

An attorney for Hunter Biden had asked the judge to dismiss the indictment against his client in light of President Joe Biden's pardon on Sunday night, but did not initially submit a formal copy of the pardon, and instead sent a link to the president's statement saying that his son had been "selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted" and was the victim of a "miscarriage of justice."

Scarsi said the president’s “representations” in the statement accompanying the pardon “stand in tension with the case record.”
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/joe-biden/judge-hunter-biden-case-calls-presidents-pardon-statement-attempt-rewr-rcna182825

Uh…….. fucking what?????????????? Dude, he’s not re-rewriting history here. That’s Fox News’ job to do that! Thank you Syracuse! Well, at least some sanity has prevailed in that former presidents are lining up to give their insight into the pardon. Yes, for those of you lurking, Hunter Biden has a shady history and we’re not passing judgement on that. What we are passing judgment on is that the right judges people on their person. And it’s insane to watch. It’s how utter dogshit people like Marjorie Greene get promoted into positions that they don’t belong in. Imagine if Hunter had been MAGA and saying the shit that they want to hear. Yeah it’s that insane.

Former President Bill Clinton defended Joe Biden’s decision to pardon Hunter Biden on Wednesday, contending that the president’s son was facing tougher consequences than a typical citizen for his crimes.

“I personally believe that the president is almost certainly right that his son received completely different treatment than he would have if he hadn’t been the president’s son, in this kind of case,” the former president said onstage Wednesday at the 2024 DealBook Summit.

Clinton’s defense of Biden’s controversial pardon lands as party leaders grapple from the fallout. California Gov. Gavin Newsom broke with the president on Tuesday, saying he was disappointed even though he understood why Biden decided to grant his son clemency, echoing several other elected Democrats who oppose the pardon and worry about its consequences.
https://www.politico.com/news/2024/12/04/clinton-biden-pardon-hunter-00192605

So what this does is two things – one, it saves Hunter Biden from the prosecution and persecution from Fox News, MAGA, and of course, Fuckface himself, and you just know that they would find some way to kill everyone they don’t agree with. But of course, with every action, there’s a reaction from the “experts”, who always find a way to pee on the parade. But come on, when Fuckface finds a way to pardon the whole J6 rioters who were arrested for breaking into Congress, the right wing media will be patting themselves on the back. Shit, here’s Paul Manafort and Roger Stone at Mar-A-Shithole holding up their pardons like hunting trophies. So yeah… there are times when you should listen to “experts” and times when you shouldn’t.

When President Joe Biden entered office in the wake of the Jan. 6 attack on the United States Capitol, he promised to restore and respect the rule of law. After Hunter Biden got into legal trouble and was ultimately convicted in a case brought by a special counsel appointed by Biden’s own attorney general, the president stood by this promise, vowing repeatedly that he would not pardon his son.

But on Sunday, Biden broke that vow and issued Hunter Biden a full and unconditional pardon for any offenses he may have committed since Jan. 1, 2014. The move spares Biden’s son from serving any time in prison and insulates him from further actions from the incoming Fuckface administration.

In a statement, the president said Hunter Biden was “selectively” and “unfairly” prosecuted. “In trying to break Hunter, they’ve tried to break me — and there’s no reason to believe it will stop here. Enough is enough,” Biden went on to write.

The president’s decision flatly breaks his vow and comes amid intense scrutiny over how justice in the United States is served. Initial reaction ranged from criticizing Biden’s reversal, with Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, a Democrat, calling it a “bad precedent” that will “sadly tarnish his reputation,” to others, including legal experts, noting the odd path that led to Hunter Biden’s conviction.
https://www.msnbc.com/top-stories/latest/hunter-biden-pardon-inequality-justice-system-Fuckface-rcna182658

Yeah come on, even the judge isn’t buying this shit. But come on, is Biden the one who’s lying? Like Fuckface and his stupid “news” network lie constantly 24 hours a day like it’s a bodily function, and they don’t get called out on it as much as they should. Yeah Biden flip-flops once and Fuckface flip flops like every day on every stupid decision. But how is it we’re the ones who are fighting each other over the subject of pardons? Again, Roger Stone and Paul Manafort held up their pardons like they were hunting trophies. And how is it unconstitutional when it’s literally written in the constitution that the president has pardoning power? Just… it boggles the mind!!!

Two days after President Joe Biden issued a blanket pardon to his son Hunter Biden, the federal judge overseeing the younger Biden's tax charges in California slammed the president's characterization of the case as an improper attempt to "rewrite history."

U.S. Judge Mark Scarsi -- who was appointed by Orange Fuckface -- took aim at President Biden's suggestion that "no reasonable person" would find the charging decisions against his son fair, noting that the "president's own attorney general and Department of Justice" oversaw the case.

"In the President's estimation," Scarsi continued, "this legion of federal civil servants, the undersigned included, are unreasonable people."

"The Constitution provides the President with broad authority to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States … but nowhere does the Constitution give the President the authority to rewrite history," Scarsi said.

[font size="8"]Fuckface Vs Mexico
[br] [/font] [br]

Let’s spin it again! Come on no whammy no whammy no whammy no whammy no whammy no whammy… STOP! Hey it lands on a Get Out Of Jail Free card! I’ll just put that away for later.



Spin it again! Hey it lands on… Orange Fuckface!

We could have told you that Fuckface was going to be a national embarrassment before he was installed back in the White House. But he is six weeks away from taking office and wreaking the havoc that he promised during the campaign. One country though is fighting back. And it’s that one country that he’s been demonizing the last 10 years – our neighbors to the south, Mexico. It’s no secret that the newly elected president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, is not a fan of Fuckface or the MAGA fascist verse that’s been destroying democracies around the globe the last 15 years. Anyway, the two have been trading blows lately, and it will be really interesting to see how this develops and with Fuckface’s threatening of mass deportations, we’re not going to expect this relationship to end particularly well for anybody. And we also know that, if you’re not glued into the Fox Ministry Of Propaganda, you know that the numbers regarding immigration over the Mexican border are grossly exaggerated. Which is totally on brand for this crew.

President-elect Orange Fuckface declared a win on stopping illegal immigration through Mexico on Wednesday after talking with that country's leader. But Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum suggested Mexico was already doing its part and had no interest in closing its borders.

The two spoke just days after Fuckface threatened to impose sweeping new tariffs on Canada and Mexico as part of his effort to crack down on illegal immigration and drugs — a threat that drew a prompt and terse response from Sheinbaum, who said any U.S. tariffs would be met with reciprocal measures from her government — stressing: "There is no subordination here."

Sheinbaum said on Thursday she did not discuss tariffs in the call with Fuckface. Fuckface said in his social media posts that Sheinbaum had "agreed to stop Migration through Mexico, and into the United States, effectively closing our Southern Border." Sheinbaum indicated on social media, however, that she'd "explained" to Fuckface that Mexico is already "taking care of" migrant caravans, calling it an "excellent conversation," but indicating no major changes in her government's policies.

"I explained to him the comprehensive strategy that Mexico has followed to address the migration phenomenon, respecting human rights. Thanks to this, migrants and caravans are assisted before they reach the border," the Mexican leader wrote. "We reiterate that Mexico's position is not to close borders but to build bridges between governments and between peoples."

Oh come on, people! Stop your rabbling! Of course, don’t think that this feud between Fuckface and Sheinbaum is over because it’s only just getting started. We can only imagine the sheer havoc he’s going to wreak on Mexico once he gets his precious “day one” like he’s been threatening. Come on, how much damage can one guy do in 24 hours? Oh, trust us, if MAGA makes good on the promises they’re threatening, there’s a hell of a lot of damage they’ll be able to do the first 24 hours! Of course, if you watch Fox for any length of time, you would see that they’re greatly exaggerating and lying their asses off about what really happens at the US – Mexican border. But of course, anything is a win with Fuckface in charge, it’s criminally insane.

President-elect Orange Fuckface declared a win on stopping illegal immigration through Mexico on Wednesday after talking with that country’s leader. But Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum suggested Mexico was already doing its part and had no interest in closing its borders.

The two spoke just days after Fuckface threatened to impose sweeping new tariffs on Canada and Mexico as part of his effort to crack down on illegal immigration and drugs.

Fuckface said Sheinbaum “agreed to stop Migration through Mexico.” Sheinbaum indicated separately on social media that she told Fuckface that Mexico is already “taking care of” migrant caravans, calling it an “excellent conversation.”

“We reiterate that Mexico’s position is not to close borders but to build bridges between governments and between peoples,” Sheinbaum added.

Yeah, sorry, but Mexico’s position and the position of the new, fascist United States Of Fox News are two totally different things. But if you watch that POS network for any length of time, you would think that a caravan the size of the population of the greater Los Angeles area was crossing the border every other day. But the reality is – the actual number is a lot smaller than that! However, Mr. Art Of The Deal, aka Orange Fuckface, doesn’t see it that way. He listens to the worst people on earth and surrounds himself with the worst people on earth. He could be using his platform for good, but instead, he uses it for pure fucking evil. And of course, if you watch Fox News for any length of time, you probably wouldn’t be sitting in our audience right now.

U.S. authorities made about 46,700 arrests for illegally crossing the border from Mexico in November, down about 17% from October to a new low for Joe Biden's presidency, an official said Tuesday. The arrest tally marked a decline of more than 80% from an all-time high of nearly 250,000 in December and casts doubt on predictions of an increase ahead of President-elect Orange Fuckface's inauguration Jan. 20.

U.S. authorities made about 700 arrests on the Canadian border in November, down from 1,283 in October, according to a U.S. Customs and Border Protection official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the figures are preliminary and not made public.

Last week, Fuckface promised sweeping new tariffs on Mexico and Canada, as well as China, as soon as he takes office as part of his effort to combat illegal immigration and drugs. He railed against an influx of migrants entering the U.S. illegally, eliciting a sharp response from President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico, who highlighted the steep drop this year.

U.S. arrests on the Mexican border fell by about half after Mexican authorities increased enforcement within their own borders in December, then plunged by about half again after the Biden administration introduced severe restrictions on seeking asylum at the border.

Spin it to win it! And it lands on… come on no whammy no whammy no whammy no whammy no whammy… STOP! Ah, one of our patented Clips Without Context!

Uh… dude, this guy wants to lead the fucking UNITED STATES MILITARY! Of course he’s going to be vetted, because the GOP does not own the White House no matter how much they like to think and are convinced they do. SMDH. Fuck these people. Spin it again! And it lands on… the economy!

Last week was Black Friday, and this Black Friday had an extremely different tone from previous Black Fridays. And that is because we could be looking at a whole new economic landscape in January when Orange Fuckface takes over. One of the things he’s been threatening to implement on “day one” is some rather high tariffs against countries that he hates – China, Canada, and Mexico, among others. Never mind that we’re in a global economy and that PC and phone you’re using, or that car you’re driving, or that new kitchen appliance you’re installing might contain parts sourced all over the world. But these tariffs that Fuckface is proposing will have MASSIVE implications and will impact supply chains all over the world. But hey, America first, right? That’s what you voted for. Don’t get me started on that bullshit because I could spend hours on it. But hey, right before the election, people were complaining about the price of groceries and gas. This week? Headlines about how we’ve had the best Black Friday ever and record Thanksgiving travel. Now let’s let the reality of that consumer dopamine rush you got from your Black Friday purchases set in.

President-elect Fuckface made instituting sweeping tariffs one of the cornerstone pledges of his 2024 campaign, a move experts warn could lead to price hikes for many everyday goods.

Why it matters: Voters' frustration with the economy pushed many to support Fuckface, but experts warn levying tariffs could reignite inflation and even spark a trade war.

Driving the news: In social media posts Monday, Fuckface announced a tranche of new tariffs on the U.S.' top three trading partners — Canada, Mexico and China.

Fuckface said that on his first day in office he would sign "all necessary documents" to charge a 25% tariff on all goods coming from Canada and Mexico.
He also added that imports from China be levied a 10% tariff "above any additional Tariffs."
https://www.axios.com/2024/11/30/Fuckface-tariffs-raise-prices-goods

Yeah BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! You know, we used to give George Bush a hard time about his policies, but they weren’t dangerous and reckless like Fuckface’s are. And he wasn’t a sadistic and vindictive asshole like Fuckface and his goons are. But if he made good on these threats like he’s promising, and Elon’s DOGE eliminated the Fed, the FTC, and the SEC, we could be looking at an economic crisis not seen in human history. This would be a DEPRESSION level crisis. And these goons will stop at nothing to enact their evil agenda. It’s an absolute recipe for disaster. Let’s look at cars for instance. Do you like driving foreign brands like BMW, Subaru, Kia, Toyota, Honda? Well guess what – you will be paying big time for them.

President-elect Orange Fuckface's new tariff proposals could hit American and European carmakers hard — and could push prices up for your next car.

A Friday note by S&P Global estimates a 25% tariff on Canadian and Mexican imports, coupled with a 20% tariff on light vehicle imports from the EU and UK, could cost some carmakers 17% of their annual earnings — and as high as over 30% — before factoring in interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.

Higher tariffs could hit General Motors, Jaguar Land Rover, Stellantis, and Volvo hardest, S&P Global said. Meanwhile, BMW, Ford, Hyundai, and Mercedes-Benz may be less impacted. "Orange Fuckface's re-election will likely intensify the headwinds the global auto industry will face in an already challenging 2025," the authors wrote.

These tariffs could push car prices higher and lead Americans to dig deeper into their wallets for another vehicle. Wells Fargo estimated Wednesday that tariffs could raise the price of cars made in the US by an average of $2,100. For vehicles fully produced in Canada or Mexico, prices in the US may increase between $8,000 and $10,000 higher, Wells Fargo estimated.

Damn right! But by the way – for those of you who are panic buying things like monitors, laptops, phones, and PC hardware – take a deep breath and chill out. Yes, it will get more expensive when these things kick in. But there’s going to be a lot of channels and hurdles that he’s going to have to jump through before these could be implemented. It won’t happen magically on day one through an executive order like they are threatening. Because again, we’re dealing with a group of people who don’t know or give a shit how the government works. They only know what they hear from TV news and it perpetually angers them.

President-elect Orange Fuckface has promised a major escalation of the nation’s tariffs.

Fuckface has proposed tariffs of between 60% and 100% on Chinese goods, and a tax of between 10% and 20% on every product imported from all U.S. trading partners.

Economists widely forecast that tariffs of this magnitude would increase prices paid by U.S. shoppers, since importers typically pass along a share of the cost of those higher taxes to consumers.

Fuckface's tariffs would cost the average U.S. household about $2,600 per year, according to an estimate from the Peterson Institute for International Economics.

Some products would likely undergo much more significant price increases than others, experts told ABC News, pointing to items like electronics and toys that rely heavily on imports.
https://abcnews.go.com/Business/Fuckfaces-proposed-tariffs-raise-prices-products-experts/story?id=115893557

Well, duh! We could spend all day talking about how fucking evil all of this tariff shit is and how bad it’s going to fuck up the American economy for a generation or two. But let’s let an actual retail chain describe how it’s going to work for you. For all of you MAGA voters who are just now Googling “are tariffs bad?”, we can answer that question for you: YES THEY ARE BAD and they’re going to get that much fucking worse! This is an idea that should have never been floated in the first place, let alone to the worst president in American history and his billionaire sidekick! And come on, it’s going to affect the mad man of Tesla too. Because his electronics in his electric vehicles will be that much more expensive, not that he cares about that sort of thing!

Best Buy and other similar retailers may be particularly vulnerable to Fuckface’s proposed tariffs since “there’s very little in the consumer electronics space that is not imported,” Barry said.

The company is the importer of record on only 2% to 3% of its products, according to the CEO, who noted most of the production of goods it controls has been moved out of China. Best Buy reported 60% of its costs of goods sold came from China in Q3.

New tariffs could also impact Best Buy’s sourcing from Mexico, a country which accounts for its second-highest total of imports after China.

Last week, Fuckface said he plans to levy a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada on his first day in office. He also imposed a 10% tariff on goods from China.

Spin the wheel! Come on, no whammy no whammy no whammy no whammy… STOP! And it lands on the guacamole option! Come on out here, Ernesto! Ernesto is of course our sous chef here at the Top 10 and like most good chefs, we found him working in the back of a Chipotle while we were getting some burritos. Ernesto is going to prepare our tableside guacamole which I will be eating through the duration of this program. Here’s your $2, Ernesto! All right, look at that!



Spin it again! And it lands on… bathrooms!

You know, back in the early days of the Top 10, we had a running segment called “The Bathroom Police” detailing harassment of trans people in bathrooms. We may have to bring it back. Now that the dust has settled from the worst election in United States history has settled, the worst House in United States history can get back to work wreaking the havoc that it was designed to do, in order to please a batshit insane news network owner because it’s good for ratings. While the economy was but one issue plaguing the electorate, the real issue that put Fuckface back in the White House has once again reared its’ ugly head – the trans bathroom / sports issue. And while the next iteration of the Fox News MAGA Qongress takes shape, one member in particular is being singled out. That rep is incoming freshman representative Sarah McBride. Why is she being singled out? That’s because Rep. McBride (D – Delaware) is America’s first transgender Congressperson. She’s being targeted by South Carolina rep Nancy Mace (Q – Batshit). And Mace has gone increasingly insane, introducing a series of bills aimed at the incoming representative. But this isn’t just mere insanity, it’s full mental illness on display. But then again, that’s the kind of person who Orange Fuckface attracts to his cause, and none of this will end particularly well.

McBride, a Democrat from Delaware, didn't respond to questions on the topic as she entered the House Democratic caucus meeting Tuesday morning.

Monday night, she responded to Mace in a post on X, saying, "This is a blatant attempt from far right-wing extremists to distract from the fact they have no real solutions to what Americans are facing."

Outside the Republican conference meeting, GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia called McBride a "biological man" and said she had confronted House Speaker Mike Johnson at during the House Republican Conference meeting Tuesday morning about what "men in leadership" would do to address their concerns.

"You know, Sarah McBride ... should not be using any of our restrooms in the Capitol, in our office buildings. But Nancy Mace's resolution doesn't go far enough," Greene said.

Gee, why are we not surprised that Marjorie Shit For Brains chimed in on this? With those two idiots at the helm, it can only go downhill from there, right? Of course it can, and the words “attention fiend” come to mind, because that’s exactly what Rep. Mace is doing. She’s all in on the “look at me” crap because she’s definitely trying to get attention from Fuckface as fast as possible. For something… we don’t know what, exactly. What is Nancy Mace trying to get attention for? Let us know in the comments section! In fact in case you’re wondering, actual trans people aren’t having any of Rep. Mace’s shenanigans. So yeah, keep going there, MAGA Qongress! It won’t end well for you!

A prominent digital rights activist, who is transgender, confronted Rep. Nancy Mace at a public event Thursday, days after the congresswoman from South Carolina introduced a resolution to ban transgender women from using women’s bathrooms in the U.S. Capitol.

Evan Greer, the director of Fight for the Future, stood up during the kickoff panel at “The Summit of the Future of the Internet” at Georgetown University, in Washington, D.C., and displayed an LGBTQ pride flag. Mace was speaking alongside Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna and radio host Charlamagne tha God on the topic “Bipartisan Tech Solutions to Unite a Nation.”

“We have had dozens of trans people die this year because of the hate and lies that you are spreading,” Greer said, to applause from the audience, as she was escorted out of the room. “Are we building an internet with free speech for everyone or just the privileged few?”

Mace responded by misgendering Greer and making a comment about her genitals, which the crowd booed at. A representative for Mace and Project Liberty, the organization that hosted the summit and invited Greer, didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Greer’s organization is known for its viral protest efforts against internet censorship and surveillance and in support of net neutrality.

Yeah, with those two idiots, what could possibly go wrong? Well, the obvious answer is everything could go wrong and then some. Especially with a case involving trans issues going before the Supreme Court this next week, a hell of a lot could go wrong. But Nancy Mace is clearly not helping her case, and is showing the world what a total fucking idiot she is. And of course, like everything connected to the MAGA camp, the merchandise is available! Yes, they can’t stop hawking products or filing frivolous lawsuits. And we all know that one of those is coming! Yes, in fact, even her interns are concerned that it's all just a ploy to get on Fox News. Well, duh! Where have you been the last 8 years?

A former aide to anti-trans lawmaker Nancy Mace has ripped the South Carolina congresswoman over her bill that would ban trans women from women’s restrooms, calling it nothing more than “a ploy” to get on TV, a claim that Mace has faced before.

“If you think this bill is about protecting women and not simply a ploy to get on Fox News, you’ve been fooled,” Natalie Johnson, who served as Mace’s director of communications in 2021, posted on X in response to Mace’s bill which targets restrooms solely in the U.S. Capitol. Her bill was introduced two weeks after Sarah McBride (D-Del.) became the first openly trans person elected to Congress.

Mace’s legislation is a clear reversal of prior pro-LGBTQ comments she’s made while in office, though it falls in line with current rhetoric that has been credited in part with helping fuel President-elect Orange Fuckface’s reelection campaign.

“I strongly support LGBTQ rights. No one should be discriminated against,” Mace told the Washington Examiner shortly after taking office as a freshman lawmaker in 2021. “Having been around gay, lesbian, and transgender people has informed my opinion over my lifetime.”

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/nancy-mace-criticized-publicy-sellout-with-trans-bill_n_673f79dce4b0fc93e3d120e7#

Yeah there won’t be enough tequila to get me through this abomination of an administration! And before anyone asks, no, this has not made my job easier! In fact, it’s made it that much fucking worse than it’s ever been! There’s too much stupidity to keep up with! Nancy Mace certainly isn’t helping things at all. But hey, merchandising, merchandising! That’s where the real money from the hate crime is made, right? And yes, this anti-trans hatred that’s sweeping the nation is, by definition, a hate crime and we will let it be known! In fact, we may need to have a talk on where this hatred is heading relatively soon.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) is using publicity from her legislation to prevent transgender women from using women’s restroom facilities in federal buildings to sell merchandise to her followers on the social platform X.

Mace in a post on X is advertising T-shirts for $35.

The post shows a photo of Mace next to T-shirts with the words “come and take it” below a picture of a women’s bathroom sign. On the back it reads “Mace for Congress.”

“Every purchase will help FUEL MY FIGHT to protect women and girls across America. HOLD THE LINE! 🇺🇸⬇️” Mace wrote in the Thursday post.

Earlier this week, the lawmaker said she received death threats for proposing that transgender women use single-sex facilities that correspond to their gender identity in the Capitol.

[font size="8"]We’re All Gonna Die
[br] [/font] [br]

Now entering the spin cycle! Come on no whammy no whammy no whammy no whammy… STOP! No, a Whammy!!!

Hey everyone, guess what? We’re all gonna die! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! WOOOOO. WOO. WOO. So what’s going to kill us all, this week, you might ask? Why it’s the premiere Russian warlord himself, Vladimir Putin! Yes, what’s big daddy Vladdy up to, you might ask? Well, he’s made good on his threat to bypass a decades old treaty and begin producing what he calls “the deadliest nuke”. Ooh, big threat from such a small, pathetic, petty man! But does anyone remember like 10 years ago when he tried to launch that rocket called Satan I that was a really pathetic attempt at making him seem like he was more powerful than he actually was? And then it turned out to be a huge dud? Yeah we remember that. But the way the media is hyping up Satan II, it seems like he may have learned a thing or two from that last disaster. But considering the fact that he’s most likely propping up the Tesla mad man himself, Elon Musk, it seems like ol’ Pooty has his work cut out for him!

Satellite images from last month appeared to show a failed test launch of the RS-28 Sarmat missile, raising concerns about Russia’s nuclear arsenal.

Satellite images taken at the end of September have led arms experts to believe that Russia has attempted to test its latest intercontinental ballistic missile, the RS-28 Sarmat, but suffered a catastrophic failure.

The 35-metre-long missile - which is capable of carrying nuclear warheads - has been referred to in past reporting by various media outlets in and outside of Russia as "Satan II" and "the world’s deadliest weapon," and is heightening concerns due to its supposed destructive capabilities.

The recent images appear to contain a large crater on a launch site in Plesetsk in northern Russia. The discovery was first posted on social media platform X on September 21 by an open source analyst under the pseudonym "MeNMyRC".
https://www.euronews.com/next/2024/10/04/what-is-satan-ii-the-worlds-deadliest-nuclear-capable-weapon-being-tested-in-russia

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha… remember that scene from The Dictator where they’re arguing about rocket size vs efficiency? It’s kind of like that. But yeah, we’re making fun of Putin’s ability to launch nukes with global impact. And it could have serious repercussions – like humanity ending repercussions. All because one guy wants to be supreme overlord of earth. But the question of whether or not Mother Russia could launch nukes remains a mystery. In fact, while nearly every single country around the world has some sort of treaty involving the use of nuclear weapons, Russia is the only one with its’ own set of rules regarding the use of nuclear weapons! Yeah, how fucked up does your country have to be in order to impose its’ own set of rules on itself so they don’t launch nukes? How itchy is your trigger finger, Pooty?

Russia’s nuclear doctrine is the set of rules that Moscow imposes on itself for the use of nuclear weapons.

It states that the Kremlin can use its vast nuclear arsenal in response to any aggression that poses “a critical threat” to Russia’s sovereignty or territorial integrity. This open-ended criterion was introduced on November 19 in an update signed off by President Putin two days after the US announced that it would relax restrictions on Ukraine’s use of its long-range weaponry.

The previous version of the doctrine placed the bar for nuclear retaliation far higher, allowing it only if the existence of the Russian state was under threat.

With clear reference to Ukraine and its western allies, the revision also stated that an attack with conventional missiles, drones or other aircraft by a non-nuclear state that is supported by a nuclear-armed one could meet the criteria for a nuclear response.
https://www.thetimes.com/world/russia-ukraine-war/article/will-russia-use-nuclear-weapons-putin-doctrine-ukraine-n85m33src

So yeah here’s the thing you need to know about premiere Russian warlord Vladimir Putin. 1 is that he’s completely deranged. 2. He’s completely drunk with power and out of control. 3. He’s out for total world domination. Combine all three of those ingredients together and you have one extremely toxic cocktail ripe for destruction. The question now is what could happen if the Moscow mad man actually makes good on his threat? Yes, we know he has nukes, but we also know that Russia’s manufacturing capabilities are currently janky as fuck. We also know that he does plan to ready Satan II as fast as possible to use on his enemies in his ongoing illegal occupation and invasion of Ukraine. Truthfully, none of this is good!

Russia is continuing work to put its 'unstoppable' Satan II intercontinental ballistic missile on combat duty, as he plots revenge for Ukraine's use of long-range missiles from the US and UK.

The Satan II missile, also referred to as the RS-28 Sarmat, is designed to deliver nuclear warheads to strike targets thousands of miles away in the United States or Europe, but its development has been dogged by delays and testing setbacks.

In September, Putin faced humiliation after his Satan II missile exploded, obliterating Russia's only test site for hypersonic weapon.

As a result, experts said that the test programme for the rocket could be delayed for years, or could even be aborted after a series of failed launches.

But as Putin continues work on testing his Satan II missile, Moscow warned yesterday that retaliatory actions are being prepared after accusing Ukraine of launching another round of ATACMS strikes into Russian territory.
https://www.msn.com/en-xl/news/other/putin-orders-satan-ii-nukes-to-be-ready-as-soon-as-possible/ar-AA1uRpg0

No, dude, we’re not going to die just yet. But what could happen if Russia were to actually launch nukes against the west? For one thing, our program would cease to exist. But so would most of California and the entire west coast. And that’s not a good thing because well over ½ of the population of the United States lives here. In fact, what you may not know is that ol’ Pooty actually threatened to launch nukes against Ukraine that there were meetings held over the fallout that the capital of Kiev could have taken over it. That is some fucking truly frightening shit. And of course, you can’t keep a good warlord out for world domination down. In fact, Russia’s latest missiles could very well take out some western targets and we’d better be prepared for it. Remember the movie Don’t Look Up? We could be very well living that scenario.

President Vladimir Putin gave fresh warnings about the threat of nuclear war in his State of the Nation address in Moscow on Thursday, telling delegates that Russia's strategic nuclear forces were in "a state of full readiness."

Putin said Russia wouldn't let "anyone interfere in its internal affairs", adding there was a genuine risk of conflict if Western nations sent troops to Ukraine, as suggested by French President Emmanuel Macron earlier this week.

Ahead of the talk, a video of a nuclear weapon convoy driving through the streets of Moscow was shared as proof that Russia was preparing its deadliest weapons of war.

Multiple posts on X, formerly Twitter, show a video of what appear to be nuclear weapons being transported in Russia.

Let’s spin it to win it! Come on no whammy no whammy no whammy no whammy… STOP! Oh hey it’s time for another one of our patented Clips Without Context!

Yeah… fuck you Steve Bannon, may you never get your wish! And you should be rotting in prison. I miss the days when that troglodyte wasn’t polluting my social feeds. Oh well. Spin it again! Hey, it’s time for Holy Shit!

Gather around my fair brothers and sisters! It’s time to take a seat in the pew and pass the collection plate, for the Holy Church Of The Top 10 has convened and it’s time to remind you that the holiest among us are the most full of:



My fair congregation! Please be seated! You know, we live in a very strange time right now, and of course we were all shocked and disappointed that the unholy Dark One is going to once again ascend to the throne. Well, back in the early days of the Dark One’s first abomination of an administration, we used to talk about the prophetic movement unfolding within his inexplicable fandom. We’ve played the clips throughout the years. And after studying this bizarre cult within a cult, there is one thing we can definitely tell you – these people are fucking deranged! Because they don’t worship GAWD or JAYSUS, no, no, no! They worship the unholy, ungodly Dark One! I of course speak of a man who is so foul, so depraved and disgusting, that his name dare NOT be spoken in my church! Yes, even if he’s going to be our leader again, no, I won’t allow it! But here’s the thing, my fair congregation – do you know exactly how we got here? Well, it was nearly 50 years of combining televangelism with GOP politics to tie modern Christianity into some sort of warped QVC cult of personality. And well, its’ been truly insane to watch, especially in the last few weeks!

MAGA evangelical pastors and "prophets" are taking a victory lap celebration for predicting a second Orange Fuckface term after being wrong for the past four years.

Evangelicals who had said that Orange Fuckface would win a second term are telling their followers they were right all along, despite the fact that he lost the 2020 election. Fuckface won both the popular vote and the Electoral College last week when he defeated Vice President Kamala Harris.

Many of these evangelicals have recirculated old videos that show them saying the Lord informed them Fuckface would become president again. They also say that just because two Fuckface administrations are separated by Joe Biden's presidency does not negate the fact that Fuckface will serve a total of eight years in the White House. Some of them had previously argued that Fuckface won in 2020 but that the election was stolen, which is why they think their prophecies still held true then.
https://www.newsweek.com/pro-Fuckface-prophets-take-victory-lap-after-being-wrong-four-years-1985859

That’s the weird thing about this, is that these so-called “prophets” have made an entire religion out of worshipping his Unholiness, the ruiner of all things good and decent. So why are they doing this? Well, because they can. And also, because of the internet. The internet does strange things to people. And of course, it has modern evangelical ministers worried. Really? They’re worried? They helped create this nonsense by voting for him and encouraging to vote for him. But also the idea that the president is a GAWD is so damn weird and insane. Stop it with this nonsense already! The president is not, nor will ever be GAWD!

Evangelical leaders are calling out the danger of endorsing political candidates from the pulpit as the nation witnesses a rise in pro-Fuckface "prophets," who claim God has anointed the former president as the chosen one.

Kimberly Reisman, executive director of World Methodist Evangelism, warned last week that doing so hurts Christians across the country. And Carl Nelson, president of Transform Minnesota, cautioned that many endorsements from church leaders fail to "hold that candidate accountable to the full spectrum of values we represent."

"God can use leaders from all parties, and to equate God's will with the will of any political party or person is exceedingly dangerous and a threat to the overall witness of Christians in the United States," Reisman said in a July 31 statement.

In recent years, a number of influential evangelical figures have come forward and spoken about receiving prophecies about former President Orange Fuckface as a secular messiah who will deliver conservative Christians from cultural exile. Many of them have gone viral, telling thousands and even millions of people that God will reinstate Fuckface in the White House, leaving their followers hanging on to promises of a second Fuckface term.
https://www.newsweek.com/evangelical-leaders-call-out-danger-prophets-god-donald-Fuckface-maga-preachers-pastors-1936620

You know, here’s what we don’t get – PEOPLE LISTEN TO THIS GARBAGE!!! How can someone not look at someone who claims to be a “prophet” for the unholy Dark One, and not think “Wow, that person is a fucking lunatic!”. Well, if you are that type of person, you wouldn’t be in my audience or my congregation to begin with! But, my fair congregation, rest assured to know that this is a uniquely American thing. Remember, we are the generation who was born and raised with television as our babysitter. It’s truly insane to watch people think that the unholy Dark One was “anointed by GAWD” when he was in fact, elected. Did anyone else grow up in the 90s? I did, we knew he was horrible back then!

The total eclipse crossing the United States on Monday is more than a celestial marvel. According to MAGA-minded “prophets” with dubious gifts of divination, the eclipse is a signal of God’s design for America, and another marker that former President Orange Fuckface is heaven’s “anointed” candidate.

Julie Green is a charismatic preacher and self-styled prophet who claims to channel God on the daily, bringing “divine” news to a devoted following from a home studio in Iowa. Green is a viral star on Rumble, where she has more than 200,000 followers, and she’s become a celebrity of the Christianity-meets-QAnon circus known as the “ReAwaken America” tour.

Nevermind that Green’s prophecies are often either vague or preposterous. (She once infamously predicted that Prince Charles would murder his mother in a fruitless attempt to steal the throne.) Green’s influence in MAGA world is strong, and has even included delivering heavenly dispatches to members of the Fuckface family.

On April 4, Green and a prophetic guest named Larry Ballard — who claims he “died in 1968,” returning to life after a serious accident with supposed heavenly insight — unpacked the spiritual symbolism of the coming eclipse.
https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/eclipse-Fuckface-maga-prophets-1235000663/

Yes, the prophecies of his Unholiness are weird. And there are many of them. But here’s the thing – these people are public figures, whether they want to be or not. But what’s even weirder is that despite all of their worship of the unholy Dark One, they didn’t donate to his campaign! Yes, his biggest fans didn’t give him a single cent! And you can find this all on an easy Google search. So while they may be convincing the flock to follow his Unholiness off the cliff, they weren’t contributing to him. They were basically just fans in name only! Which, again, is even weirder than if they actually gave him some money for the campaign! I will never understand this line of thinking, ever!

MAGA Pastors Johnny Enlow, Hank Kunnenman, Sean Feucht and Dutch Sheets, as well as pro-Fuckface "prophets" Charlie Shamp, Amanda Grace, Lance Wallnau and Julie Green—all of whom do not appear on the FEC's list of Fuckface donors—did not return Newsweek's request for comment.

Although churches and religious organizations are barred from participating in explicit political activities, under the federal tax code, individual members of a church or church leadership can participate in politics in their individual capacity.

"A lot of these Christian leaders don't see their contribution to Fuckface and his political cause as financial. They see their contribution in terms of voter mobilization, in terms of theology and prophecy, and really kind of galvanizing the kind of populist Christian sentiment around Fuckface," Matthew D. Taylor, a senior scholar at the Institute for Islamic, Christian, and Jewish Studies, told Newsweek.

There has been a rise of Christian prophets in recent years, and some of them have offered their followers predictions on matters related to Fuckface, presidential elections and the COVID pandemic..
https://www.newsweek.com/donald-Fuckface-prophets-not-donating-campaign-1936026

So if anyone tells you that they are a prophet for the Dark One, run! The other way as fast as you possibly can! Save yourselves before it’s too late! Mass has ended, may you go in peace! That’s it this week for:

[font size="8"]This Fucking Guy: Pete Hegseth
[br] [/font] [br]

Let’s spin the wheel, shall we? Wheel goes round… wheel goes round… wheel goes round… where it stops, nobody knows! And it lands on… intermission! OK, we can take a break. Go on, get a drink, use the bathroom. I’ll sit here and amuse myself by looking at funny videos of dogs on my phone. Ha ha, that dog is sniffing that other dog’s butt! Here’s some music while we wait!

Spin it again! Hey, it’s time for This Fucking Guy!



This week’s This Fucking Guy is former Fox News correspondents and current white nationalist shit poster, Pete Hegseth! You might have been hearing his name a lot in the news this week. That’s because Mr. Hegseth has been chosen to be Fuckface’s “border czar”. Yes, the “border czar” – a position that was made up by Fox News, to satisfy a conspiracy theory made up by… Fox News. And yes, they were unsatisfied with having a competent president at the helm and intentionally blew up a bi-partisan border bill that would have ended this conspiracy, otherwise that would have given President Biden a win. They’re still big mad that Fuckface wasn’t president between 2020 – 2024, because that fucked up their plans to go full Nazi. Don’t believe me that they’re going to go full Nazi? This fucking guy who is going to be their new “border czar” has a literal WHITE POWER symbol tattooed on his chest! Can we show that please? Yeah what the absolute fuck!!! He’s such an abusive jerk that even his own mother has called him an abusive jerk. And no, we’re not making this up, either. In fact that was the first thing that came up when we Googled “Pete Hegseth”.

Pete Hegseth, the man tapped by Orange Fuckface to become Defense Secretary, has come under fire from Democrats and other liberal pundits after he was branded as an “abuser of women” by his own mother.

A report from The New York Times featured a 2018 email to the former Fox News anchor from Penelope Hegseth, where she said she had “no respect” for her son and that he needed “take an honest look at yourself.”

The Times reported that in an interview on Friday, Penelope Hegseth had backtracked on the comments and said she had sent her son an immediate follow-up email, apologizing for what she had said.

But social media commentators were quick to react to the report, with former Democratic Representative Bakari Sellers writing: “This letter from Pete Hesgeths mom is…whoa. MAGA will turn a blind eye but this is something.”
https://www.yahoo.com/news/pundits-rip-pete-hegseth-own-165043068.html

Of course they will! If there’s one underlying theme about the MAGA party, it’s that they don’t like being told what to do. In fact, they are the real “Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me” party. But of course, they can’t just be satisfied with just one allegation. Nope, not with this crowd. And I fully expect Fox News to pull the same Brett Kavanaugh “we made him cry!!!” bullshit that they did back when that was going on. Holy shit. But MAGA, do you know why we made him cry? Because he’s a fucking REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER!!! They should cry! But nope, you guys went and voted for Fuckface and now he’s stacking his cabinet with REGISTERED SEX OFFENDERS! Ugh!

This morning, a new whistleblower obtained by the New Yorker has come out with a new set of allegations that may be enough to sink Pete Hegseth's nomination as Secretary of Defense. According to the New Yorker, Hegseth was forced to step down from serving as the head of two veterans nonprofit organizations over allegations that he engaged in financial and sexual improprieties.

Between 2013 and 2016, Hegseth was the President of Concerned Veterans for America, a nonprofit group focused on promoting veterans rights in our nation. According to the whistle blower report, Hegseth was repeatedly intoxicated while in his official capacity as president of the charity. It got so bad that he was forced to be carried out of the organization's events because he was unable to walk.

While drunk, Hegseth further had to be restrained by individuals at a strip club as he attempted to join dancers on stage. In addition, the whistleblower report notes that Hegseth and other members of the nonprofit team pursued female staffers in the organization, dividing them into two groups: the "party girls" and the "not party girls."

https://meidasnews.com/news/pete-hegseth-hit-with-a-new-set-of-damning-allegations

Damn right!!! Of course he is pure evil. It’s pretty much par for the course for this new abomination of an administration. And the more you go down the rabbit hole on this guy, the worse it gets. And in fact, you know you’re an abusive POS when you get called out by your Fox colleagues for being an abusive POS, and it showed. But come on, Kamala can’t have a glass of wine around children? Yet, you want this fucking guy to round up “illegal” immigrants and put them in concentration camps? Really, it couldn’t possibly get any worse than this guy. And again, like I said, the more you dig into it and go down the wormhole, the worse it gets!

Pete Hegseth, President-elect Orange Fuckface’s pick for defense secretary, drank in ways that concerned his colleagues at Fox News, according to 10 current and former Fox employees who spoke with NBC News.

Two of those people said that on more than a dozen occasions during Hegseth’s time as a co-host of “Fox & Friends Weekend,” which began in 2017, they smelled alcohol on him before he went on air. Those same two people, plus another, said that during his time there he appeared on television after they’d heard him talk about being hungover as he was getting ready or on set.

One of the sources said they smelled alcohol on him as recently as last month and heard him complain about being hungover this fall.

None of the sources with whom NBC News has spoken could recall an instance in which Hegseth missed a scheduled appearance because he’d been drinking.
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/pete-hegseths-drinking-worried-colleagues-fox-news-sources-tell-nbc-ne-rcna181471

Gee, you think? And is anyone else starting to wonder if Fuckface is intentionally nominating these psychopaths as a smoke screen to distract the public when he nominates even scarier people to be in his cabinet once he takes office? Because that is what it seems like. In fact, new allegations may be coming before the end of this segment! You don’t know! But the questions about whether or not Mr. Hegseth is fit to serve are growing. OF COURSE YOU KNOW DAMN WELL HE FUCKING ISN’T! In fact, none of the clowns that Fuckface has nominated aren’t. If you want to see how scary Mr. Hegseth’s views are, check out what he says about [link: https://www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwatch/pete-hegseths-plan-create-christian-nationalist-educational-insurgency | education], which we covered last week. But he’s too extreme for Newsmax! Newsmax! The pro-Fuckface 24 hour ass kissing network! When you’re too extreme for them, that’s pretty fucking extreme!

Fox News largely ignores Pete Hegseth’s many scandals while Newsmax draws the line
While Fox News employs a familiar tactic when it comes to unflattering stories about the network or MAGA, Newsmax is directly calling on Fuckface to drop the former Fox News star’s nomination.

With former Fox News host Pete Hegseth’s appointment as defense secretary suddenly in doubt amid a bevy of startling stories detailing his alleged sexual misconduct, boorish behavior and financial malfeasance, the right-wing network he called home for nearly a decade is doing what it typically does in these instances.

That is, it’s hushing up.

Welcome back to our segment that attempts to explain the unexplainable, Conspiracy Corner! Of course conspiracies exist when people simply don’t want to read the article past the headlines and just flat out make shit up. We of course are coming to you live from our underground doomsday shelter from deep within the New Mexico badlands. Undisclosed location, of course! Let me just adjust my trusty tin foil hat for maximum government interference. Ah, there we go! They are trying to read yours and my thoughts, after all! This week, we have to talk about raw milk again. Yes, the concoction heavily peddled by Mr. Brain Worm himself, RFK Jr, is back in the news again, and it looks like the peddlers of this substance are going to be facing some very stiff punishments. The problem? Well, it looks like avian flu – the current strain known as H5N1 – has jumped to cows. See, if your remember your terminology from the COVID days, this is what’s called a “zoonotic” virus. Meaning that it can jump between species. So why is this a bad thing? Because recent studies have shown that if you drink raw milk, you’re far more likely to catch H5N1 than if you haven’t. So keep drinking that raw milk, conspiracy theorists! You’ll eventually wind up in the hospital for something you didn’t want!

Raw Farm's distribution of raw milk products has been suspended due to the detection of the H5N1 bird flu virus, the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) announced.

Why it matters: "H5 bird flu is widespread in wild birds worldwide and is causing outbreaks in poultry and U.S. dairy cows with several recent human cases in U.S. dairy and poultry workers," per the CDC, which notes 31 of the 57 human cases in the U.S. were in California. All but one of California's cases were traced back to cattle as the exposure source.

State of play: "All Raw Farm operations are currently under quarantine, from herds to bottled product, which means that all raw milk product distribution is suspended," said the CDFA's Steve Lyle in an emailed statement on Monday night.

CDFA dairy inspectors sampled milk from bottled products and bulk milk storage at Raw Farm's bottling facility on Nov. 27 and laboratory test results on Nov. 28 showed the presence of the bird flu virus, per Lyle.

"All milk tested by CDFA remained at the Raw Farm plant and was not released to consumers," added Lyle, who noted earlier tests had returned negative results.

So the question on the table – should we be encouraging MAGA to drink less raw milk or should we be encouraging them to drink more raw milk? Well, if you remember from the COVID days, the more hosts a virus has, the more likely it is to mutate. And also, as we know, almost everything connected to MAGA is highly suspect. But please, conspiracy theorists – keep indulging in your new cocktail of choice, but don’t be surprised if you get the stomach parasites and intestinal diarrhea that comes with it! Seriously, we’re not surprised that the same crowd that willfully ingests horse diarrhea medication is also the same crowd that drinks raw milk. It really is like we’re living in stupid times, doesn’t it?

Bird flu has landed on a California farm that shuns virus-killing pasteurization, leading to a second recall of raw milk and a suspension of operations at the company, Raw Farm in Fresno County.

According to a November 27 alert by the California health department, officials in Santa Clara County found evidence of bird flu virus in retail samples of a batch of Raw Farm's milk, which has been recalled. It is the second time that retail testing has turned up positive results for the company and spurred a recall. The first contaminated batch was reported on November 24. The two recalled batches are those with lot codes 20241109 ("Best By" date of November 27, 2024) and 20241119 (Best By date of December 7, 2024).

In an email to Ars on Monday, Raw Farm CEO Mark McAfee said that none of the company's cows are visibly sick but that it appears that asymptomatic cows are shedding the avian influenza virus.

After the first recall, a representative for Raw Farm said in a video posted to its YouTube account that the risk of bird flu was "not a big deal." In the email on Monday, McAfee seemed to suggest the same.

Oh come on! You got recalled twice and you’re still “optimistic”? Holy shit. PT Barnum was right about there being a sucker born every minute. Of course, he lived in the 1920s. He never lived to see the MAGA era, though many of us here at the home office suspect he might have voted that way. This is why it’s great to live in California because we are protected from predatory scammers like Raw Farms, though the fact that such a company exists in 2024 is a sad sign of the decline of our society. But even in a state that’s heavily populated by farmers, like Alabama, for instance, where the sale of raw milk is illegal, hardcore MAGA fans, in what seems like an eerie science fiction situation, are going through back door channels to get their fix. It’s literally a “pick your poison” scenario.

Just walking into any old grocery store, Alabama citizens are unlikely to find unpasteurized milk on the shelf next to the whole milk and the 2 percent reduced fat. But if they look hard enough, there’s plenty of this “raw milk” to be found—for “pet consumption only,” of course.

Under Alabama law it is illegal to sell raw milk for human consumption, but local farms can skirt that restriction by labeling the product as strictly for pets.

And there’s a market for it. “Alabama Raw Milk,” a private Facebook group started just a year ago by dairy farmer Kelly Porter, has 5.5 thousand members looking to buy or sell raw milk.

While health experts warn that unpasteurized milk opens up consumers to the risk of numerous pathogens, raw milk supporters argue that foregoing the pasteurization process preserves a number of health benefits to milk including improvements for gut health, asthma, allergies and even allowing people who are lactose intolerant to enjoy milk without issue.
https://www.alreporter.com/2024/11/28/white-lightning-inside-alabamas-raw-milk-secret-society/

You know, here’s where we need some tough parenting here. Look, FDA, you can issue all the warnings and recalls you want. But these are people who not only don’t listen to the experts, they spit in their faces. MAGA are people who don’t like being told what to do. Because, freedom or whatever. And this is exactly what happens when real experts get replaced with quacks. This is the kind of shit you are going to get. We say let’s let MAGA get their intestinal parasites that come with drinking raw milk and when they start overloading our hospital systems, don’t say we didn’t warn you. It will be even crazier when Dr. Oz and RFK Jr take away our healthcare. Bottom line – don’t drink raw milk and don’t listen to idiots who do.

“Now, I’m no stranger to raw milk. Growing up, we didn’t head to the grocery store for a gallon of milk—we went to the barn and got it ourselves. My brother milked the family cow in the morning, and I took care of it in the evening. Afterward, we’d strain out the flies and manure with a cup towel and drink it fresh. That was just life on the farm,” Miller said in the opinion piece.

Currently, the law in Texas does not allow the sale of raw milk in retail stores. However, it can be sold directly from farmers. You can get raw milk from a local dairy farm, have it delivered to your home or pick it up from a farmer’s market.

Health officials have warned for years that raw milk can cause illnesses that range from mild to life-threatening. Between 1998 and 2018, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention documented more than 200 illness outbreaks traced to raw milk, which sickened more than 2,600 people and hospitalized more than 225.

Before the U.S. adopted safety standards in 1924 under what was called the Pasteurized Milk Ordinance, about 25% of foodborne illnesses were related to dairy consumption, according to the Center for Dairy Research. Now, dairy products account for about 1% of such illnesses.

[font size="8"]I Need A Drink
[br] [/font] [br]

Spin that shit! Come on, no whammy no whammy no whammy no whammy… stop! What? Go directly to jail? NO!!!!

Wait, I’ve got that Get Out Of Jail free card! Spin it again! And hey it’s time for I Need A Drink!

Hey everyone, I don’t know about you, but I could really use a drink!



So of course, you know the idea behind this segment is that we have some drinks, and while we are drinking, we talk about literally anything in the news as long as it doesn’t relate to politics. Because I don’t know if you’ve noticed out there, but there’s a lot of really dark shit happening right now. So I always feel that the best escape from reality is to crack open a nice cold one, or two, kick back, and take your mind off it for a while! And don’t worry, my sober brothers and sisters, we’ve got you covered! Just grab a glass of your favorite coffee, tea, or energy drink and come get wired with us! So the story on the table this week – it’s December! Which means the return of Christmas. Which also means the return of everyone’s favorite convention – SantaCon! Yes, SantaCon – these hard drinking, hard partying Santas don’t care whether you’re naughty or nice, they just wanna get hammered! We’ve previously covered SantaCon before in this segment (see: Idiots #11-16 and Idiots #5-23 ). But this year, there’s a plot twist! Previous SantaCons have been limited to the confines of New York City and Long Island. This year – SantaCon is coming to a neighborhood near you! So tell me bartender, what goes well with a story about SantaCon? Candy Cane Martini? What’s in that? Eh… I’ll pass. I’ll take instead my usual Jack Daniels mixed with Jack Daniels. I call it the Double Jack. But yes, the jolliest convention of the season is coming to a city near you. Should you be grateful or terrified? Well, from past experience, I’d say little column A, little column B.

Town officials have hired a Milford law firm to handle possible legal damages or "adverse impacts" from the SantaCon beach party that draws thousands to Fairfield's shoreline in December.

Fairfield hired the law firm Hurwitz Sagarin Slossberg & Knuff late last month as a possible legal counsel for SantaCon, an annual holiday bash Fairfield University students throw at the private beach rentals, where college students descend for a day of often drunken partying.

With the firm on board, town officials said they will avoid a conflict of interest Town Attorney Phil Pires would have with legal advice on the annual beach party because his law firm — Cohen and Wolf, P.C. — works with Fairfield University.

David Becker, Fairfield's chief operating officer, said the hire of another firm likely wouldn't be necessary without the conflict.

Ha ha ha ha… you know things are fucked up when you have to hire lawyers in advance! It’s going to be a massive shit show! Yeah sure, it’s a good cause – at least it looks good on paper. But of course, while the gathering of way too jolly old St. Nicks is spreading its’ wings beyond the confines of their New York City origins, we can’t forget that the OG SantaCon is still the largest and proudest gathering of Santas and also the craziest! But one SantaCon is having some concerns already about this year’s festivities and that’s a city that’s neighboring to New York, Hoboken, New Jersey! Yes, no one is save from these hard drinking Santas!

The holiday season brings many wonderful things to Hoboken: festive decor, delicious treats, general feelings of splendor and nostalgia. There’s one Hoboken event, however, that’s a little more divisive, and it comes in the form of hundreds of bar-going Santas. Love it or hate it, the SantaCon bar crawl tradition has persisted over the last decade, leaving many Hoboken locals to wonder if it’ll return in 2024. It’s confirmed that HoHoHoboken, a separate bar crawl event organized by Hoboken bar owners, will return on Saturday, December 7th. SantaCon, organized by the national company PubCrawls, is happening on Saturday, December 21st. Here’s what to know about the two events and what to expect from each.
SantaCon, the annual holiday pub crawl tradition tracing back to the 1990s in New York City, began in Hoboken in 2011. It started as a small gathering of friends dressing up as Santa to support a local cause and has grown into a larger event where thousands of participants take to the streets in Santa costumes. Over the years, the event has gained both popularity and criticism due to concerns about public intoxication and disruptive behaviors.

The event in New York takes place around the same time every year in December, often on a Saturday before Christmas. This year’s New York City Santacon is happening on December 14th, 2024.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a drink ordered that way! But if you do find yourself in Mystic, Connecticut – yes, the home of Mystic Pizza, you too can recreate the legendary bar crawl from The World’s End on SantaCon night! But again, we cannot forget that the original one that started it all – the one in New York City, is the OG and the largest! So what’s it going to be like this year? Well, you can expect that the Santas will either be naughty or nice depending on how much they’ve had to drink. And like previous SantaCons, you can bet that Santa will be passed out on the LIRR on their way back home, so it will be fun being the rail conductors and security on that night!

SantaCon is a charitable, non-political, nonsensical convention that takes place annually to spread absurdist joy. In this beloved New York tradition, locals and tourists alike dress up as Santa Claus or other Christmas characters for a lively pub crawl known as SantaCon, short for Santa Convention. Participants join in to celebrate the holiday spirit while enjoying drinks, live music, and nightlife in a fun, festive atmosphere.

As the largest SantaCon in the world, New York attracts around 30,000 participants each year. While some revelers may indulge a bit too much, the overall vibe remains friendly and upbeat. Most attendees see it as an opportunity to party in creative Christmas costumes and enjoy the festive cheer. Additionally, about 15% of the bar bills from participating venues are donated to charity, adding a charitable element to the fun.

At SantaCon in NYC, participants must follow the "Santa Code" to keep the festivities joyful and responsible. This includes wearing a full holiday-themed costume—no "just a hat" nonsense allowed. Santa is respectful to bar staff, pays with cash, and tips well. He's of legal drinking age, spreads joy, and leaves no trace, ensuring all trash goes in the bins.

Santa promotes peace, so if conflicts arise, participants should walk away. He’s kind to children, respectful of the city and its laws, and shows appreciation for the NYPD. Santa also moves promptly between stops, comes prepared for the weather, and knows his limits when it comes to drinking. Most importantly, everyone addresses each other as “Santa,” enhancing the festive spirit!
https://rove.me/to/new-york/santacon

Yeah that’s pretty much what it’s going to be like! But some good news is that the LIRR – embarrassed by past SantaCons, is laying the smack down on this year’s festivities. In fact, the New York police know these Santas aren’t exactly going to be nice. But if the Con comes to your neck of the woods, be prepared to know that these Santas, once they get some booze in them, aren’t going to give a shit what your kid wants for Christmas. And yes, it may be coming to a city near you! But yes, SantaCon is coming to a city near you. So start getting your Christmas carols in order and preparing your cap for a long winter’s nap! Because Santa’s here again!

You better watch out, you better not cry—SantaCon is on its way to cities around the nation next month (yeah, already!). And if you're confused about what that even means, you're not alone. What is SantaCon? And is it coming to your town?

Hearing the name "SantaCon," for those who are already familiar, will likely either evoke a laugh and pleasant response or one of deep annoyance. Immediately, they can remember the images of years past with hundreds upon hundreds of people dressed up as Santa Claus roaming their city's streets.

But where did this polarizing, festive event come from? Let's get into it—after all, here comes SantaCon, here comes SantaCon!

[font size="8"] Road To The Shithouse
[br] [/font] [br]

Let’s spin the wheel a final time this week! And it lands on… T-Shirt Cannon!!! Yes, everyone in our fine audience tonight here in Syracuse will get our new No Fascist USA shirt and our Road To The Shithouse logo on it! But I can’t distribute all these t-shirts by myself. In fact, let’s go out to the beautiful brand new Intuit Dome stadium in Inglewood, California, to show you the craziest high-tech t-shirt cannon that’s ever been constructed!

Spin it again! And it lands on… ugh, Road To The Shithouse. Yes, fuck that guy. Ugh.



Welcome back to our segment that puts all of our post-election coverage in one place – Road To The Shithouse! Yes, we have to face reality that Fuckface is going to be inaugurated on January 20th and he is going to have unleashed both his inner asshole and his middle finger at America and particularly those who he wants to see prosecuted for not giving the deranged cult exactly what they wanted on January 6th, 2021. But we’ll save that for next week. This week though, we have to have a frank discussion about the one issue that may have tipped the election in favor of Orange Fuckface. And that is the trans bathroom issue. Yes, that issue. There’s one thing that democrats always underestimate in any given election – is that if the GOP runs on an issue of hate, they win every single time. The 2024 election is no exception to this rule. Orange Fuckface ran on pure hatred and malice. And no surprise, it worked for him big time. But we democrats need to have a frank and brutal discussion about why the GOP keeps winning on hate even though it’s 2024 and we should be in the post-hate world. But nope, it’s still there, it works, and right now it’s a very profitable business.

In the wake of an election in which Orange Fuckface stoked fear about trans people — as in the much-discussed ad that warned “Kamala is for they/them. President Fuckface is for you” — Democrats are now debating how much the issue of trans rights hurt them and how fast they should retreat from it. Which is remarkable, because throughout her brief campaign, Kamala Harris was all but silent on the subject. It’s not clear how much further Democrats could actually retreat.

The party’s decision to focus on the issues that matter to most voters, especially reproductive rights, and set trans rights aside is based on a misconception. The two issues can’t be separated, because trans rights don’t just resemble reproductive rights; trans rights are reproductive rights.

In the last couple of years, as the right wing in the United States has stepped up its attacks on trans people, it has devoted tremendous energy to curbing access to gender-affirming care for minors (and in some cases adults). Supporters of such legislation argue that young people are not qualified to make — or even participate in — decisions they may regret later in life.
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/22/opinion/trans-rights-donald-Fuckface.html

All right, people, look. Can we take a step back, take a deep breath, and collectively pull our heads out of each other’s asses for a minute here? Look, there’s a case going before SCOTUS next week that could have GRAVE implications on the future of trans rights in this country, and knowing how the worst SCOTUS in US history is going to rule, we can imagine that things aren’t going to be good. In fact, this worthless fucking asshole Matt Walsh said that he wants trans rights gone from the planet. That’s literal genocide that he’s referring to! Why are we approaching these Nazi fuckheads with kid gloves on? They want literal genocide! It’s boggling the fucking mind!

In the final weeks of a heated reelection campaign, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz released a television ad with a simple message — “Boys and girls: They’re different.”

In the ad, Cruz accused his Democratic challenger, Colin Allred, of wanting boys to play on girls’ sports teams. Allred released his own ad vehemently denying the claim. Neither mentioned that the Texas Legislature had already banned student athletes from playing on teams that didn’t match the sex they were assigned at birth......

The day after a red wave swept Texas and the nation, these strategists, as well as political scientists and advocates on both sides of the aisle, say focusing on these social issues seems to have mobilized the Republican base.

“This election was when the dam broke,” said Terry Schilling, president of the American Principles Project, a right-wing political advocacy group. “Republicans have now figured out how to win parts of the culture war where Democrats are out of step with the American people.” https://www.texastribune.org/2024/11/08/transgender-ads-motivate-texas-republicans/

Come on, even Batman is facepalming this shit! You probably saw those disgusting ads airing on late night TV or during your football / baseball game of choice and you were probably seething at those disgusting ads for Fuckface airing on TV every single night. Well, guess what? They want you to seethe at this shit. Remember – MAGA voted for Fuckface out of pure spite, malice and hatred for half of the country that voted for Joe Biden over him. But come on, how are the democrats out of step on the culture war? Have you seen Fuckface’s playlist? Have you seen the shitty food he serves? And his supporters are drinking raw milk! But yeah, it’s the democrats who are out of touch. WTF. Well, expect this shit to get worse as we lead up to the 2026 midterms – assuming all elections haven’t been suspended by then.

Advocates for transgender rights are turning to a conservative-dominated Supreme Court after a presidential election in which Orange Fuckface and his allies promised to roll back protections for transgender people.

The justices on Wednesday are taking up the issue of gender-affirming care for transgender minors, which has been banned by Tennessee and 25 other Republican-led states.

The fight over whether transgender adolescents can access puberty blockers and hormonal treatments is part of a broader effort to regulate the lives of transgender people, including which sports competitions they can join and which bathrooms they can use.

Fuckface backed a national ban on such care as part of his 2024 campaign in which he demeaned and mocked transgender people.
https://apnews.com/article/supreme-court-transgender-tennessee-genderaffirming-minors-ban-9450d58a12c7a15e4c4f5a1a2fe0d6ec

Yeah come on! Why don’t we ask actual trans people what they think about this issue? Like incoming freshman congress WOMAN Sarah McBride? Yeah I thought so. Look, human rights shouldn’t be a footnote on a news network commentary show. They shouldn’t be cannon fodder for elections, having rights should be absolute and something that both parties can agree on. But nope, the right wing has collectively lost their fucking minds in this country and this is what we have to get used to, and what we need to start fighting back on. And with the GOP having one party rule, things are going to get really dark really quickly. Ugh… it just gets worse every single day!

Like most people in the community she fights for on a daily basis, Philadelphia’s Naiymah Sanchez didn’t sleep at all on the night of Nov. 5. It wasn’t only because Orange Fuckface’s second election would intensify her work as trans justice coordinator for the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania. It was also the personal anguish that the 41-year-old transgender woman felt knowing Fuckface had been elected, in part, by spending millions of dollars on TV ads that dehumanized her and people like her in shocking ways American voters had never seen before.

“I took it very personally,” Sanchez — who spent years as an activist around tough issues like combatting prison rape before joining the ACLU-PA in 2017, right after Fuckface’s first election — told me this week. “They voted against me. They wanted to harm me.” She noted how many voters seemed to respond positively to the GOP’s openly anti-trans rhetoric, before adding: “We rest, and then we fight again.”

While Fuckface’s narrow but decisive win over Democrat Kamala Harris is still Topic A, the early fights over the president-elect’s off-the-wall cabinet picks and TV debates over just how anti-democratically the Fuckface regime might govern are still an abstraction to most Americans. It’s very different in the transgender community. There, leaders like Sanchez are having gut-wrenching conversations with people wondering if they need to accelerate major life moves, like gender-affirming surgery or a legal name change, before an openly hostile government arrives on Jan. 20.
