Welcome back to the Top 10 Conservative Idiots! As usual, this guide will be posted so you can find all of our Top 10 editions for this season, which will start on 7/20/23 and end with our traditional Year In Review edition on 12/15/23. But in case you saw our big announcement regarding whether or not this is our final season, rest assured: We don't know when our final season is. But we will continue to bring you laughs as long as we possibly can, and when we do decide to throw in the proverbial towel, you will be the first to know. Especially in the face of the current and seemingly never-ending Writer's Guild strike, we're the only game in town right now! And we have some cool stuff planned this year which includes our Florida Roadshow and our What's Up With Florida 5 part docuseries that will begin at the beginning of this season. Plus we've also got the Road To The 2024 Election which will be heating up and you can bet that we'll be covering all of the blunders and bloopers that happen as we stumble into what's going to be yet another election year clusterfuck. Plus, we also have something exciting that we announced a few weeks ago - the return of Holy Shit: The Sunday Sermons! Yes, the Sunday Sermons were a hit when they first debuted, but due to circumstances beyond our control we could not give you the rest of the episodes that were planned. But I assure you now - we will bring you six episodes bringing you the full Holy Shit experience starting at the end of September! This guide will serve as a handy way to link all of season 15 together. Enjoy! And as always don't forget the key!

Edition #15-1: The Real Housewives Of The Third Reich Edition (7/20/23)
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100218105698

Live from Santa Ana! As usual, whenever the Top 10 is off for an extended period of time, we like to play catch up on stuff we missed, and a lot has happened in the month and a half we've been off! Which includes some epic insanity from the Qongress, like Marjorie Three Names and Shooter Barbie fighting each other in Congress. It also includes some boycotts including Bud Light, Target, Chik Fil A, and a whole bunch of other targets that the MAGAs have been targeting because of their anti-Pride month hysteria, and also they for some reason decided to make July America pride month. Sigh. And also, that guy who we inexplicably used to call president is going back out on tour, and his rallies are getting weird. Meanwhile, Moms For Liberty has been designated a certified hate group, and the MAGA world is desperately trying to defend the actions of these insane weirdos who are getting elected to school boards because god told them to. Plus we also take a look at the WGA writer's strike, which may never end. Don't get attached to any new TV programs or talk shows because they ain't coming back any time soon. In our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in "Holy Shit", our resident pastor has had enough and he says it's time to tax the churches already. And yes, we'll happily pay our fair share! We profile MAGA dark horse candidate, Steve Bannon plant, and anti-vaxxer extremist Robert F. Kennedy, Jr in a new edition of This Fucking Guy. In a new edition of our weekly exploration into the never-ending world of online tin foil hat nuttery in Conspiracy Cornery, we delve into the insanity surrounding the mysterious cocaine package in the White House, which MAGAs desperately tried to pin on Hunter Biden, and failed miserably. The lesson here, kids, is: never try. Finally this week, we end with part 1 of our 6 part docuseries What's Up With Florida? and we begin with a search to find some sanity in the Sunshine State!

Edition #15-2: I Bet You Look Nude On The House Floor Edition (7/27/23)
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100218125070

Live From Flappers In Burbank! The border war that has been brought to you by Fox News and endorsed by Greg Abbott and the religious right has taken a shockingly violent and evil turn, and it's already cost lives. Hannity has some blood on his hands for this! In the House, Marjorie Greene again attempts to bring insane conspiracy theories about Hunter Biden to the House floor, even going so far as to show a dick pic. That's right - dick pics on the House floor. Stay classy, MAGAs. Speaking of the House, batshit crazy conspiracy candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr takes his fight to the House Floor - and actual democrats aren't having any of it! Meanwhile, the 2020 Fake Electors conspiracy gets real after several of Trump's buddies in Michigan get caught lying about it, which we're not at all shocked by! And speaking of that guy we inexplicably used to call president - he has a new hobby - threatening violence on his social media hidey hole, and it's going to be fun watching him squirm! In our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in "Holy Shit", we are wondering if the war on "wokeness" is a holy war or not, and a lot of evidence seems to be pointing in favor of our theory, especially going by the Catholic Church's bizarre protest at Dodger Stadium last month! In our segment "Beating A Dead Horse", Jason Aldean's new song "Try That In A Small Town" has stirred up some controversy, and some see it as a call for violence, but we're going to ask the question - "Has Jason Aldean ever been to a real small town?" and the answer is probably not. In our weekly venture into the online world of internet tin foil hat nuttery in "Conspiracy Corner", the Q Anon sex trafficking movie Sound Of Freedom starring guy who thinks he's Jesus, Jim Caviezel, is a box office hit, but why are there so many empty seats? We delve into the world of "astroturfing"! And speaking of movies, in "I Need A Drink, why does the new Barbie movie have the Youtube Man-O-Sphere's collective underwear in a wad? We have some theories, but we need some stiff drinks to make sure! Finally this week, it's part 2 of our "What's Up With Florida" docuseries and this week, we're taking a look at astonishing tales of Florida Woman, because Florida Woman is every bit as crazy as Florida Man is!

Edition #15-3: Hate Sells... But Who's Buying? Edition (8/3/23)
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100218147118

Live from Miami! MAGA republicans, currently getting their talking points from Fox News hosts, are gearing up for an impeachment of Joe Biden because... reasons. Yeah they got nothing other than pure rage and hate. Speaking of hate, Elon rebrands Twitter into something called X with a new CEO, and guess what? It's now a haven for child porn and other undesirable materials! This is what happens when you don't police your content! Meanwhile, the seemingly never ending WGA writer's strike is never going to end, and like we already said, don't get attached to any TV shows right now, because they ain't coming back any time soon. We play a game of "Is It Racist?" - look, Jason Aldean, you can't say you're not a racist and then eliminate a very racist part of your already controversial music video! Plus we also have a new "We're All Gonna Die" - and systematic climate change denial has created some of the hottest temperatures on earth and it's only gonna get hotter! In our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in "Holy Shit", so Moms For Liberty talks a good game, but we know that they stand for an agenda ruled by evil and fear, and our pastor is going to call them out on it! You have been warned! We also have a new Beating A Dead Horse! And in Conspiracy Corner, our old buddy Tom DeLonge of Blink 182 fame gets name dropped in Congress, and holy shit - the Blink song may be right - aliens do exist! And in I Need A Drink - forget Cocaine Bear, that is so Feb. 2023! Say hello to Cocaine Shark! Cocaine Shark do do do do do do... great, now I have that song stuck in my head! Finally this week, it's time for Part 3 of our 7 part What's Up With Florida docuseries and we venture deep into that most MAGA of retirement communities - The Villages! Will we survive? Only one way to find out!

Edition #15-4: Checkmark Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself Edition (8/10/23)
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100218170384

Live from Orlando! Well Trump has been indicted and arrested again, this time by January 6th attorney Jack Smith, but how many more before he finally sees the inside of a prison cell that he badly deserves? But it's causing Fox News and the MAGA loyalists like Marjorie 3 Names to melt straight the fuck down in order to protect Dear Leader, and we're here for every second of it! Pass the popcorn and the beer! Meanwhile, in Florida, Ron DeSantis shocks the country when the Florida Dept of Education flat out bans schools from teaching AP Psych classes, which is just straight up fucking evil. Elsewhere, in San Francisco, Elon Musk, the CEO of X, formerly known as Twitter, has launched his latest hairbrained scheme involving Twitter's infamous blue checkmarks, and it's the stuff of pure insanity! Just south of there in Hollywood, we bring you the latest from the front lines of the WGA / SGA strikes, and well, let's just say it ain't good and it's going to start affecting a whole lot of people. In our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in "Holy Shit", we're dumbfounded at the success of the Q Anon movie Sound Of Freedom, starring conspiracy theorist whackjob Jim Caviezel, but theaters are empty - who's going to see it? We suspect churches may be buying in bulk. In our segment of never-ending corporate greed in Late Stage Capitalism, we take a look at a beef between a local city council and a small, politically themed mom and pop brewery in rural Wisconsin that is pure insanity. And speaking of insanity, in our weekly venture into the never ending world of online tin foil hat nuttery in Conspiracy Corner, did Marjorie 3 Names employ white supremacists? Well, even if you're white supremacist adjacent, you're a white supremacist! We also have some People Are Dumb, because of course they are! Finally this week it's part 4 of our docuseries exploring the Sunshine State, What's Up With Florida?, and this week we're taking a look at a meeting of one of the most controversial school boards in the entire country - Miami-Dade County, that has been taken over by MAGA religious extremists, and well we're in for a long fight on this one!

Edition #15-5: Wheel Of Corruption: Fury Of The Gods Edition (8/31/23)
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100218237421

Live from Tampa! It's the moment that we've been waiting for since Trump first wormed his way down that golden escalator - he's being arrested, arraigned and booked which means we get to see his mug shot! Not only that, a whole slew of Asshole 45's enablers are also joining him including Jenna Ellis and America's Mayor Rudy Giuliani. Oh how the mighty have fallen! Meanwhile, Elon's latest schemes are falling flat on his face and it looks like the Tesla / Space X head honcho might finally be getting his just desserts for going full MAGA. Elsewhere, while Fox News is in full "nothing to see here, please disperse" mode, MAGA conservatives are threatening to impeach Joe Biden because... eh, what reasons do they need? They got nothing, it's just a smoke screen to cover for Trump's blunders and to appease the cult. Plus we also have a new edition of We're All Gonna Die - is it time to break out our masks again in wake of the latest COVID variant? Well we take a look at both sides of the issue! And in our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in "Holy Shit", is the MAGA Taliban coming for Obergefell? Oh you bet they are, and lately it's not a question of if gay marriage will be overturned, but when. We add batshit crazy MAGA Oklahoma superintendent of schools Ryan Walters to the ever growing list of People Who Somehow Got Elected. And in our weekly visit to the never ending world of online tin foil hat nuttery in Conspiracy Corner, the Maui fire devastated the city of Lihue, but was it nature... or was it a government fire bomb designed to make you bow to the climate change cult? Well... we'll let you decide! Plus we also have a new People Are Dumb - and since we're in Florida it's time for one of our famous all Florida editions! Finally it's time for part 5 of our What's Up With Florida? docuseries and this time we're hanging out on the front lines - Disney World in Orlando, because there's some absolutely batshit crazy stuff happening that Desantis' minions are cooking up!

Edition #15-6: 19 Indicted Co-Conspirators... And Counting Edition (9/14/23)
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100218272788

Live from San Diego! Well, in the latest attempt to swat down the accusations against him, Brian Kemp tells the GOP that they have no grounds for removing prosecuting judge Fani Willis from the bench, so Donny ain't got nowhere to go, and he doesnt' have his cult safeguarding him! Plus, speaking of January 6th - the Proud Boys leaders finally get their ass handed to them in court, which they proceed with crying relentlessly like Kyle Rittenhouse did. Oh won't somebody please think of the MAGA hatemongerers? Meanwhile, in Congress, Mitch McConnell stumbled a bit, which made people question whether he's fit for office, but we're more disturbed by him getting free health care when he's spent his entire life denying it to so many. Plus in a new We're All Gonna Die - tired of the extreme heat and every single day getting hotter than the last? Well get used to it, because we're in it for the long haul! And in our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in Holy Shit, we've been harping on the MAGA takeover of school boards for a while now, but one district in California, in the city of Chino Hills, really stepped in it. And the guy who put them there is a MAGA pastor who wants nothing but the worst for LGBT students in the US. Fuck that guy. In a new edition of our segment on never-ending corporate greed in Late Stage Capitalism, we take a look at the latest on the never-ending WGA Writer's Strike, and the CEOs should be ashamed of themselves at this point. But they're not. And in our weekly venture into the never ending world of online tin foil hat nuttery in Conspiracy Corner, apparently Elon's most hardcore fans are swooning over a new Tesla project simply called "Project 42", which apparently appears to be a glass house for Elon. Which, as we used to say in middle school, "he who lives in glass house should dress in basement". And we also have a new "I Need A Drink" - Burger King may have the catchiest commercial jingle of all time, but their burgers don't look anything like the ads! Shocker, I know! But a new lawsuit is taking aim at the advertising industry for creating false promises through ads. Finally this week it's time for Part 6 of our What's Up With Florida docuseries and this week we're hanging out in the Capitol of Florida, Tallahassee, and we're checking out why exactly people vote for these clowns in the first place!

Edition #15-7: Daylight Come And Me Want To Go Home Edition (9/21/23)
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100218291025

Live from Riverside! Well whether we want them to or not, it seems like the Newsmax wing of the MAGA party is going ahead with impeachment proceedings against Joe Biden because a) they don't care, and b) reasons. Meanwhile in Colorado, Lauren Boebert attends a performance of Beetlejuice: The Musical in Denver and gets kicked out of the performance for being the toxic nightmare that everyone knows she is. In the ongoing Category 5 shit storm that is the Trump arrest trial, Trump is doing everything he can to avoid facing the inevitable, but his latest attempts are quite batshit insane! In Senate news, how is Alabama's Tommy Tuberville single-handedly holding up thousands of military promotions? Well for one thing he's doing Fox News's evil bidding, and we we really wonder if he's on Vlad's payroll or not. Plus in a new edition of We're All Gonna Die, while we may be avoiding heat stroke for now, Mother Nature has some incredibly fucked up things waiting in store for us and at this point, if conservatives want to remove themselves from the gene pool, we're OK with that. In our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in "Holy Shit", what's the GOP have in store for us in 2024? Our resident pastor looks to the future, and well, to quote a favorite radio host of ours, it ain't good. Let's leave it at that. And in wake of recent, terrible behavior stemming from the Chino Hills school board, we profile MAGA church pastor Jack Hibbs in a new edition of "This Fucking Guy". And in our weekly trip down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole in Conspiracy Corner, have you noticed that the MAGAs are getting increasingly more violent in the last few months? Well we got news for you, it's not just you. It's getting worse. We also have a new I Need A Drink. And finally this week, it's time for the final installment of our Florida themed docuseries What's Up With Florida? and in Part 7, we're going to find out who votes for Ron Desantis and MAGA extremists, and present our conclusions of our exploration of the Sunshine State!

Edition #15-8: Donnie's Got A Gun Edition (9/28/23)
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100218311350

Live From Austin! Well it's officially the end of an era at Fox News as their megalomaniacal CEO Rupert Murdoch steps down and leaves News Corp in the hands of his son, Lachlan Murdoch. And in case you're wondering, the answer is no, Lachlan definitely isn't much better. In Washington, DC, the MAGA Qongress is doing its' best impression of the Deltas from Animal House and attempting to shut down the government... by walking out of doing any official business. We've got two more years of this shit, people! Speaking of the House, House speaker Kevin McCarthy (Q - Putin Asset) tells Ukranian president Zalensky to fuck off during his visit to the UN. At least Biden is much more dignified than he is. Meanwhile, the Senate has their underwear in a wad over the way Pennsylvania senator and guy who has zero fucks to give, John Fetterman dresses. And really, with all the problems facing this country, this is what you choose to waste time on? SMDH. We bring back our segment "Good Guys With Guns" because Trump visited a gun store during one his idiot rally visits, and get this - he was going to buy a gun with his face on it, which set off a ton of legal red flags! In our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in "Holy Shit", our resident pastor is tired of the claims coming from the right that drag queens are dangerous around youth. So guess what? We've got stories of evangelical youth pastors getting arrested for your enjoyment! Two can play at that game! Plus with his poll numbers decreasing rapidly, we ask "The Ron DeSantis Presidential Campaign: How Is This Still A Thing?". And in our weekly venture into the never ending world of online tin foil hat nuttery in Conspiracy Corner, there was a clusterfuck in the military regarding a missing F35 fighter jet, and well, the MAGA Q world went into what one would call a frenzy. And the conspiracies are just as weird as you would expect! We also have a new I Need A Drink! New York Times columnist David Brooks was traveling and posted a picture of his meal at Newark Airport and claimed that it cost $78, and it backfired spectacularly on him! We'll need a ferw drinks for this one! Finally this week it's time for the debut of our brand new segment: My Governor Is An Idiot, where we pit red state governors against blue state governors in a quest to find the best and worst in the country! In Round 1, we pit Arkansas governor Sarah Sanders against Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer. Who will emerge victorious? Only one way to find out!

**Top 10 Takes A Week Off***

Edition #15-9: You Can't Do That In Congress Edition (10/12/23)
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100218357777

Live From Tempe! Well in an absolutely unexpected move led by registered sex offender and textbook definition of Florida Man, Matt Gaetz, the MAGA / Infowars wing staged a coup and simply fired Kevin McCarthy. What they didn't expect is that Dems weren't going to play along with their conspiracy theory games. Plus with the speaker gone, we figure out who the next House Speaker is going to be - and the front runners are registered sex offender Jim Jordan (Q - Batshit) and ultra far right hardcore racist who likes to compare himself to David Duke, Steve Scalise. No, Trump can't be speaker, MAGAs. Meanwhile in New York, Trump's trial for fraud is going exactly how you'd expect - and it's every bit as much of a disaster as you would expect. Plus in other Asshole 45 news, he visited my hometown of Anaheim and was met with both MAGAs supporting him and Dems demanding that he should go to jail. Guess which side we're on? Elsewhere, in Russia, Russia bans talk show hosts and other prominent Dems from visiting Russia, but trust us when we say we won't miss it and we don't support murderous dictators like Vladimir Putin. In our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in "Holy Shit", ever wonder why MAGA is so cult like? It turns out that the GOP loves them some cults and there's lots of different flavors for you to choose from! We also have a new Beating A Dead Horse. And in our weekly venture into the seemingly never ending world of online tin foil hat nuttery in Conspiracy Corner, it turns out that if you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes, as evidenced by the bankruptcies of My Pillow's Mike Lindell and James O'Keefe's Project Veritas. We definitely won't miss either one of them! And in a new "I Need A Drink" - it turns out that Taylor Swift's die hard fans can't get enough of her, and now that she's dating the NFL's Travis Kelce, it's having an insane effect on the Chiefs and Chiefs merchandise and TV ratings! Finally this week, it's time for round 2 of "My Governor Is An Idiot" and this week we're pitting Colorado's Jared Polis against Montana's body slamming governor Greg Gianforte! I wonder who the idiot is here?
Live Musical Guest: Sleep Token

Edition #15-10: Wheel Of Corruption: Ghost Protocol Edition (10/19/23)
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100218380423

Live from Traverse City, Michigan! The terrifying conflict between Hamas and the Israeli government escalates into a full blown war, but the bad guy in this war is just as crazy of a murderous psychopath as you might expect! Plus the protests between who's on the side of Isreal and the side of Hamas / Palestine is quite insane and we honestly never thought we'd see both sides calling for the other one to be annihilated out of existence. No we didn't see this coming! Back at home, with the increasingly possibility that openly racist Louisiana rep Steve Scalise could be our next speaker, the right wing's got a real racist problem on its' hands, and is completely unwilling to address it! Meanwhile, the hilarious disaster known as the RFK Jr Presidential Campaign is getting off to as bad of a start as possible. And considering RFK Jr is married to Cheryl Hines, this is a disaster that even Larry David himself couldn't make up! Elsewhere, on Capitol Hill, Tommy Tuberville is the subject of some social media trolling after he whines and complains to Capitol Hill about some mean tweets. Suck it up, buttercup! There are no safe spaces in the real world! And in our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in "Holy Shit", the notorious Catholic cult that was the center of the confirmation of SCOTUS justice Amy Comey Barrett is in some serious trouble, and they've got some explaining to do! After a PR stunt gone horribly wrong, we add South Carolina representative Nancy Mace to the ever-growing list of People Who Somehow Got Elected. And in our weekly venture into the never ending world of online tin foil hat nuttery in Conspiracy Corner, the answer is NO, Donald Trump cannot become the next Speaker Of The House no matter how bad he wants it. The House would have to change the rules again, and we all know how well that goes! We also have some People Are Dumb, because of course they are! Finally this week it's time for My Governor Is An Idiot Round 3, and this week it's a Beltway Battle as North Carolina governor Roy Cooper takes on Virginia's MAGA governor Glenn Youngkin! Who will win? Only one way to find out!
Live Musical Guest: The Expendables

Edition #15-11: Five Nights At Trumpie's Edition (10/26/23)
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100218401321

Live from Lexington, Kentucky! Well the MAGA plan to "unleash the Kraken" in Trump's ongoing fraud trials turned out to be just some bad calimari that was left in the deep fryer too long. In other Trump trial news, one of his biggest supporters, Sydney Powell, actually flipped and decided that doing hard time probably wasn't in her best interests. So he's too toxic for them to comprehend! In House Speaker news, another day goes by without a Speaker, and the split between the MAGAs and what few sane conservatives are left is growing and growing. Even the speaker pro temp doesn't want his job! Elsewhere, Trump claims his weekend was ruined by these ongoing fraud investigations, so we decide to find out - does he cheat and rig his own golf tournaments? All signs point to yes, it's what cult leaders do! And hey MAGAs, if you're trying to compare the Palestine protests in Congress to what happened on January 6th, the answer is please stop, we're not going to fall for your pathetic pity party any time soon, the two things are not the same by any stretch of the imagination! In our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in "Holy Shit", hardcore Christian nationalist Mark Burns wants to take the right wing's war on education a step further and open his own hard lined military academy. It's basically a Bible school with more flag drag and cowboy cosplay. We explain why it's a really terrible idea. And in a new Beating A Dead Horse, one of our favorite people, former Daily Show host Jon Stewart, is back in the news because his current show "The Problem" but abruptly canceled by Apple because of some problems with the content of his subject matter of his shows, and it's something that we absolutely need to see and know. And in a new edition of our segment that explores the never-ending world of online tin foil hat nuttery in Conspiracy Corner, our old buddy Mike Lindell is back in the news and his latest hair-brained scheme to undermine elections might be his most off the wall, batshit crazy, most Wiley Coyote idea yet! We also have a new I Need A Drink - have we reached peak infleuncer? If you make money through internet videos and social media posts, you might want to think twice before showing up at the latest hot spots to get those precious likes. Finally this week, it's time for Round 4 of our ongoing battle between red state governors and blue state governors in My Governor Is An Idiot, and this week, we're pitting Arizona's real governor Katie Hobbs against fake governor Kari Lake! One is really elected and the other one lives in conspiracy theory fantasy land!

Edition #15-12: Look What You Made Me Do Edition (11/9/23)
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100218442705

Live from Nashville! Well, it turns out that the new House Speaker Mike Johnson, is not only a MAGA religious zealot of the highest variety, he's also the test market to see how far Fox News can go in bringing their hard-lined brand of authoritarianism to the United States! And another week, another mass shooting in Maine. As we're still sorting out the mess from this terrible and yet easily preventable tragedy, one thing is perfectly clear: the Maine shooter was another victim of extremist right wing propaganda and insane internet conspiracy theories, and was radicalized by Fox News hosts and Twitter. Turn that shit off people! Meanwhile in the Trump trial - two judges, one in New York and the other in Georgia, are showing the right way to do things and the wrong way to do things when it comes to dealing with the MAGA psycho king himself. We vote for the right way! Elsewhere, Bud Light is attempting to pick up the pieces from the insane Kid Rock instigated MAGA boycott back in June, by courting UFC, but would you be surprised that it's having exactly the opposite effect they intended? Eh, we're not. In a new edition of our award winning investigative series, Top 10 Investigates, what exactly is up with the new trend of Supercommuting? Can someone live in Iowa and commute to San Francisco every week? That's got to have a major impact on the environment, and yes it does! In our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in "Holy Shit", with Mike Johnson as the new House Speaker, a lot of attention is being paid to his fire and brimstone brand of old school religion, and the attempt to scrub his most extremist beliefs is the stuff of pure insanity! We also profile the man who could be Argentina's next president and their batshit crazy off the wall version of Trump, Javier Milei, in a new This Fucking Guy. And in our weekly visit into the seemingly never ending abyss of online tin foil hat nuttery in Conspiracy Corner, what happens when you get two conspiracy theorists in a room? Well our old buddy Elon Musk was interviewed on the Joe Rogan show and it was some absolute next level insanity, like think of that scene from 30 Rock when Tracy Jordan was interviewed on Larry King insane. We also have a new "I Need A Drink". So we talk a lot of shit about Florida, but would you want to live like Florida Man for a day?

Top 10 #15-13: Rise Of The Planet Of The MAGAs Edition (11/23/23)
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100218460546

Live from Vegas! We take a look at the highlights (and a couple of lowlights of the 2023 midterm elections, and there were a few surprises that we would not have expected! We also take a look at the lowlights of the GOP debates, and of course the MAGA king decides to defect and hold his own rally, where he continues to spew some of the most batshit crazy stuff possible! Meanwhile in Congress, it's the end of an era in West Virginia as the Democratic (?) senator that everyone loves to hate, Joe Manchin, finally announces his retirement, but we shouldn't really celebrate since Fox News bought his seat and gave Sean Hannity another minion in the senate to control. Ugh. And in business news, after nearly 5 months of grueling strikes and negotiating talks, the SAG / AFTRA strike of 2023 finally comes to an end, bringing a close to an incredibly long and frustrating year of endless labor disputes! In a new edition of our award winning investigative journalism segment, Top 10 Investigates, we ask the question - is your car spying on you? And the answer, as you may have guessed is: probably! And in our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in "Holy Shit", we do a deep dive into an extremely controversial anti-porn spyware app called Covenant Eyes that is marketed to fundamentalist Christians and was made famous by House speaker Mike Johnson, and it's every bit as dangerous as you would expect! We add the newly installed by Fox News governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, to the ever-growing list of People Who Somehow Got Elected, and believe us when we say that this guy is pure evil. And in our weekly visit to the never-ending world of online tin foil hat nuttery in Conspiracy Corner, is the answer to dealing with people you don't like is to reduce their salary to $1? If you answered yes, you're the closest without going over. We also have a new People Are Dumb, because of course they are! Finally it's Round 6 of our ongoing battle between red state governors and blue state governors in My Governor Is An Idiot, and this week we're pitting newly reelected Kentucky governor Andy Beshear against Alabama's Fox News installed governor Kay Ivey!

Live From Oxnard! The Top 10 pays tribute to one of the GOAT first ladies of all time, Rosalynn Carter, who passed at age 96 and we recap some of her absolutely amazing life. In a world full of Trumps, be a Jimmy Carter! Meanwhile, the exact opposite of Jimmy Carter, Donald Trump, has been going all in and using increasingly violent language in his rally appearances, but is it Nazi esque? Yes it's entirely possible he's going down that road and it's scary as hell! And speaking of Nazis, over on X / Twitter, Elon gets busted for some anti-Semitic comments by Media Matters and sues them over - wait for it - free speech. You can't make this stuff up! We also bring you the highlights (mostly lowlights) from Fox News' own attempt at an awards gala called the Patriot Awards, and it was every bit as much of a disaster as you would expect! In a new edition of "We're All Gonna Die", does it seem like the weather is getting worse where you live? Well strap in, because we ain't seen nothing yet! And in our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in "Holy Shit", we're going to talk about Satan - specifically the Church Of Satan, and their attempts to overturn abortion laws that keep getting smacked down, and well at least it's a start! We add Oklahoma's batshit insane senator Markwayne Mullin (Q - Nazi) to the ever growing list of People Who Somehow Got Elected. And in our weekly venture into the seemingly never ending world of online tin foil hat nuttery in Conspiracy Corner, Kyle Rittenhouse is now a published author and he's attempting to walk back what we all saw live on national television. You can't fix stupid! We also have a new I Need A Drink - is Snoop Dogg quitting his beloved marijuana for good? It's possible, but his personal joint roller can rest easier when you find out what the publicity stunt was really for! And finally in our ongoing quest that's putting red state governors against blue state governors in "My Governor Is An Idiot", it's a battle for central supremacy as we're putting Minnesota's Tim Walz against Iowa's Kim Reynolds. Who will come out on top? Only one way to find out!

Can we throw Marjorie Greene and Lauren Boebert out too please? We also bring you highlights from the debate between Gavin Newsom and Ron DeSantis, and seeing DeSantis get taken down a few pegs in front of his boss Sean Hannity was a thing of beauty! And speaking of the former president's failures, did he and Fox News manipulate the January 6th rioters? The answer is: Probably! Meanwhile in Florida, the cofounder of Moms For Liberty is in some deep trouble after a threesome comes back to bite her... what is up with the MAGAs and kinky sex crimes? We have to know more! We also have a new edition of that hot new game that's sweeping the nation: Is It Racist? And we always say that if you have to ask, it's probably racist! And this involves Elon's Twitter advertisement placement and advertisers jumping ship - yes it's racist! And in our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 In "Holy Shit", our resident pastor figures out that the year of 2023 can be summed up in one word: NATIONALISM, and it's as scary as you might expect! In a new Beating A Dead Horse, OK MAGAs, Melania dared to be different at Rosalynn Carter's funeral, but here's the thing - you're at a state funeral. Show some damn respect! And in a new edition of Conspiracy Corner, if you're alarmed by the recent rise in book bans, just wait until you hear what they're being replaced with! And as always behind every left leaning "fuck you", there's a sinister right wing organization with an evil agenda behind it! We also have a new People Are Dumb, because of course they are! Finally, it's Round 8 of our ongoing battle between red state governors and blue state governors in My Governor Is An Idiot and this week it's another battle for Beltway supremacy as we're putting Maryland's Wes Moore against Ohio's Mike DeWine!

Edition #15-16: 2023 Year In Review Edition (12/14/23)
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100218527087

Live from Santa Ana! It's our annual look back at the year that was, and 2023 was quite the shit show! In January and February, we had a Chinese spy balloon, Trump's most ridiculous marketing stunt ever, and a whole bunch of other random shit that happened. In March and April, it was the dawn of the age of artificial intelligence, as AI was finally starting to get good enough to replace humans, but how long until Skynet is real? Only one way to find out! May and June were dominated by one thing - boycotts. And they got really ridiculous really quickly. Everything from Target to Bud Light to Chik Fil A was boycotted because MAGAs threw a colossal temper tantrum over LGBT support. And give it up, guys, you haven't saved one kid from one groomer and you know it. Stop it. In July and August, it was dominated by strikes. Yes, everyone was on strike during the summer, but the headline grabbers were the WAG and SAG / AFTRA strikes that affected Hollywood up and down the line. In September and October, we had yet another steaming load of a MAGA temper tantrum when Matt Gaetz decide to simply fire Kevin McCarthy, because reasons, and replaced him with super creepy megachurch pastor Mike Johnson, who is now third in line for the presidency. Good job guys! And finally we close out the year 2023 with November and December where we are already apparently deciding the 2024 election before the primaries even begin, and also the great first lady Rosalynn Carter died. And in our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in "Holy Shit", instead of looking back to 2023, we're doing the opposite and using 2023 stories in our annual attempt to predict what's going to happen next year! Plus in a new edition of Conspiracy Corner, we take a look at a group of furry hackers that are turning the hacking world upside down, and we did a deep dive on these people and it's crazier than you might think it is! We also have a new People Are Dumb and we give you the best of the best, the stupidest of the stupid, the dumbest of the dumb, for 2023! Finally this week it's Round 9 of our ongoing quest to pit red state governors against blue state governors in My Governor Is An Idiot, and we're saving the best for last - our home state governor Gavin Newsom against Florida's Ron DeSanits! And come on, you knew the job was dangerous when you took it!

Finally it's our ongoing competition between red state governors and blue state governors in "My Governor Is An Idiot" and we pit North Carolina's Roy Cooper against the Fox News installed governor of Virginia, Glenn Youngkin!
