America has truly hit rock bottom as Trump's ICE is up to some Hitler-esque activities, and they are shockingly evil.

We discuss the insane plan to split California in 3 states, which actually made it on the ballot this year. In the latest edition of the Trumper Games, we discuss the jailing of former campaign strategist Paul Manafort. Trump doubles down on his evil plans along the border.

And for our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in "Holy Shit", our resident pastor is going to put on his tin foil hat and delve into the world of Christian conspiracy theories! We have a new segment of "Beating A Dead Horse" in which we examine why conservatives are so afraid of getting banned on social media sites (hint: it's them!).

And finally it's the second round of Deep State Diaries and this time we're going to do a deep dive into how our government treats returning soldiers and examine the Department Of Veterans Affairs.

Sheriff Joe sues the New York Times for slander for an insane amount of money after the NYT makes some very unflattering comments about him. In our weekly investigative piece Top 10 Investigates, we're going to lighten things up and talk some football - after extremely sagging attendance numbers and a laughable regular season record, was the NFL's Chargers move to LA worth it? We shall find out! And in our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in "Holy Shit", our resident pastor is going to do a deep dive into the alt right Christian fight club known as Patriot Prayer. We profile Proud Boys founder and guy who literally thinks that violence is the answer to everything, Gavin McInnes, in a new edition of "This Fucking Guy". We have a new edition of "What's Up With India?" because India has one of the largest populations on earth and so much crazy news coming out of the country. We also have a new edition of People Are Dumb, which includes a man mistaking the exit door on the airplane for a toilet, a woman bringing her emotional support squirrel on a plane, and a guy doing his best imitation of Trump's behavior toward women on a plane. And the next installment of our ongoing series Deep State Diaries is going to take a look at the one, the only FBI!

Live from Nashville! We introduce a new feature called "What's Up With Brazil" and show you what you can expect from Brazil's new ultra far right president and Trump / Putin stooge Jair Bolsonaro. Trump's violent rhetoric causes a lone Florida Man living out of a van to send suspicious packages to literally every democratic politician and celebrity on Trump's "enemies list" and he might be the stupidest criminal alive. It's also revealed that China and Russia have been suggesting that they are listening to calls made on Trump's personal, unsecured iPhone.

In our weekly investigative piece Top 10 Investigates, we're going to investigate tactics of voter intimidation a week before the midterm elections. In our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in "Holy Shit", our resident pastor is going to show you which way God is voting in the midterms and well, they're not helping their arguments. "Beating A Dead Horse" discusses the right's overuse of the false flag conspiracy and how they are quick and very easily predictable they are to bring that out nearly every single tragedy or near-tragedy that happens. rWe also have a new edition of "This Fucking Guy" and this week we're profiling the co-host and co-conspirator of Infowars, Rodney Howard Brown. We also have a new People Are Dumb, which includes a guy trying to kill spiders with a blowtorch, a Belgian crook returning to the scene of the crime, a guy who shot himself, and a pair of Florida Man stories.

Live from Orlando! The election rumors are true and a blue wave has begin to clear the red poison out of the swamp as the democrats take the house and end Trump's one party rule. Meanwhile, on the campaign trail, Sean Hannity does a huge flip flop and pulls a colossal dick move and appears at a Trump rally after telling his superiors at Fox News that he wasn't going to. We delve into the colossal, stunningly failed plot by two Trump fans - Jacob Wohl and Jack Berkman - to take down Robert Mueller, and their company Surefire Intelligence, was exposed as a fraud - and not to mention it has all the makings of a great Wes Anderson flick, or a marginal Coen Bros flick. Trump's extremely racist ad blaming the democrats for allowing a cop killer to walk free was exposed as bullshit, and deemed too racist for his favorite network, Fox News. In our weekly investigative piece, "Top 10 Investigates", we take a look at the deal that would bring the controversial Foxconn to Wisconsin, but workers looking to get a slice of that pie might be getting a lump of coal instead. And in our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in "Holy Shit", our resident pastor is going to show you what GAWD's plan for America is going to look like because the religious right says so. "Beating A Dead Horse" explains why Trump and his most hardcore fans are always quick to blame George Soros for everything as we look at a new phenomenon "Soros Derangement Syndrome". After some major controversies involving the WWE and Saudi Arabia, we ask how the WWE's Crown Jewel event is still a thing. And we debut our new segment "Ah, It Ain't So Bad" in which we take random, free floating news stories and attempt to look for the silver lining in them. Finally the next segment of our ongoing series Deep State Diaries is going to take a look at the Department Of Defense!

And if you think Sessions was bad, wait until you meet his replacement Matt Whittaker - and whew, that guy is a piece of work, and you ain't seen nothing yet! Meanwhile, Trump goes to France and it is basically one disaster after another until he meets his boss Putin, and just like the kid getting sent to the principal's office, Trump once again takes a "talking to" from Putin. Another week, another mass shooting, this time in Thousand Oaks, California, at a bar hosting a College Country Night, and the NRA's stunning war against gun research will have you cringing. In our weekly investigative piece, Top 10 Investigates, we take a look at California's controversial Prop 8 that would impose regulations on dialysis clinics - particularly DaVita - and what that means for the future of health care.

We have a new edition of "Beating A Dead Horse" - libraries across the country are introducing the concept of gender fluidity to children by having a "drag queen story hour", which prompts the sheer hatred of their Christian conservative parents. Is it the worst thing in the world? We will find out! We profile Florida's newly elected governor Ron DeSantis (R-Nazi) in our growing list of People Who Somehow Got Elected.

March and April saw one of the worst school mass shootings since Columbine and the aftermath that unfolded with Trump golfing and Alex Jones calling the survivors crisis actors, and the governor and lieutenant governor of Texas making some astonishingly stupid solutions to ending mass shootings. May and June saw Trump attempting to turn around the dialogue on gun control and nearly bringing the world to the brink of Armageddon by moving the US embassy to Jerusalem to please end times conspiracy theorists. July and August introduced us to Space Force (and Space Nazis), Duncan Hunter getting busted by the feds for insane campaign spending, and lots and lots of stories of white people calling the cops on black people. September and October introduced us to Brett Kavanaugh and the concept of "boofing" while the horrifying state sanctioned torture and murder of Washington Post editor Jamal Khashoogi unfolded. November and December saw Trump getting his ass handed to him in the midterms, California under fire, and the death of the 41st president, George H.W. Bush. We have a new edition of "Explaining Jokes To Idiots" - yes the guy who we currently call president literally has no sense of humor about himself, as evidenced by the way he attacked Saturday Night Live.

We have a special year end edition of People Are Dumb which points out some of our favorite ways people were dumb in 2018 and quite possibly the People Are Dumb stupid person of the century award.
