    Would you look at that! It only took two years for Donald Trump to screw both himself and the Republicans so hard that the Democrats ran the table in the Midterm elections. Does a blue wave wash away all sins? As the incisive lyricist Samuel Hagar once wrote, “Only time will tell if we stand the test of time.” Now that Democrats pulled off a miracle, they have to grow a pair and deliver, which will be no easy or simple task with a rapidly declining Donald Trump collecting mail at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Are people like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries up to the task? Episode 104 of The Dumbest Story of the Week also brings you the news that Tesla’s generationally ugly Cybertruck is getting deleted next year. Sad trombones and sarcasm fonts. A 97-year-old dies after dancing to “Stayin’ Alive” at his own birthday party. McDonald’s is facing a lawsuit that alleges that the McRib doesn’t have any rib meat. You don’t want to know what they ARE made of. Believe. And after denying the inevitable blue tsunami, will Fox so-called News’ Jesse Watters be serving crow at their Thanksgiving table this year? And so much more.

    2026/10/24
    It's episode 102 and we’re cruising now! The polls say that the Democrats are poised for big wins in the upcoming Midterm elections, and that has left them jittery with a case of The Midterm Blues. Will Democrats manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory as they have grown so adept at doing? Vivek Ramaswamy issues the most distasteful and disgusting political ad ever, and Trump and Vance just love it. There truly is no bottom for the MAGA cult. Could you win at competitive napping? I’d like to give it a shot. A priest who lived by the cross dies by the cross. A man in Las Vegas drinks perhaps as many as 40 beers and steals a flamingo. Cue the ghost of Chris Cornell. (I don’t mind stealing birds…) Hegseth’s goons break a priceless globe. SCOTUS will decide if making bathtub gin is illegal and Grandpa Armstrong likely would have had some things to say about that. Puppy killer Kristi Noem has a new and likely very nervous dog. RIP yet again, Cricket. An Apollo astronaut who has never seen a UFO believes that UFOs are demons. “Tommy” from that Michigan town hall with Abdul El-Sayed is a GOP plant from Josh Hawley’s crew. Just in time for Halloween, Ted Cruz tells us that Democrats are transgender witches. Trump receives a homemade ‘Man of The Century’ participation trophy. Snitches get… paid, and Joe McCarthy is smiling at all of us from hell. And so much more.

After following him around the country and voting for him three times, some of Donald Trump’s ‘Front Row Joes’ finally see the light and find the exit. And I want my name back.

Trump makes a (likely illegal) colossal ad buy on our dime with ominous campaign ads disguised as Public Service Announcements. Major League Baseball wants to play ball in a National Park.
