Flustercuck

We discuss an NPR article entitled "Big Brands are Officially Worried About American Shoppers." We break it down in terms of real world examples and our experiences over 25 years of being told shopping is the most patriotic thing we can do.

Call me a communist, I dare ya!

Kate has insomnia and pontificates about the Blue Origin space flight of 6 women this week and why the nation and the world may have finally found an issue that unites us...

An episode we forgot to post last week, at this point, we don't even know what he was talking about. LOL Is anyone else as exhausted as we are? See you tomorrow...

We talk about the issues that have mattered to us during a 2 week hiatus... We are still out here, although we don't expect too many people are listening Listen to us talk about the Hands Off protest, the housing market, anticonsumption, tariffs, and more...

The new Hunger Games book is out! We are deporting people to El Salvador with no due process! Teslas are burning and we are charging people with terrorism... The Institute of Museum and Library Services and Department of Education are shut down. Another great week in post-democracy America. We team up on this one.

A collection of news stories from around the country with Greg, as well as a new poem

This is not the end of our marriage! However, we have decided to separate our episodes for now and try a new format for Flustercuck. Get all the details here and feel free to listen to either or both of us as we explore our own voices in upcoming episodes!

Join us for Kate's first solo episode in which she rants and lets her emotions fly free. She covers steam cleaners/Lume deodorant and rampant consumerism, why no one gives a shit about Nebraska, and the treachery of Chuck Schumer in today's budget vote.

Don the Con prepares to dismantle the Dept. of Education, a rundown of this week's news, our personal feelings about the upcoming Great Trumpression, tariffs, shitting on Ukraine, and more. God help us all.

We discuss last night's lie-a-minute State of the Union and the tariffs that have been enacted officially against Canada, Mexico, China, and now possibly will be coming against India and South Korea. We talk about the shrinking of the economy, rising prices, and the hit American GDP took... God help us all.

Greg has been writing poetry to express his feelings about politics since the Bush administration. Today he shares some of his favorite works and a new piece written in the era of You Know Who

We continue our discussion of yesterday's history making events in the Oval Office by He Whose Name Shall Never Cross My Lips Again and his chief bootlicker and various assorted other enablers. We want the world to know: THE AMERICAN PEOPLE STAND WITH UKRAINE.

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky sat in the Oval Office with two blithering baboons today. Could the US look worse? Doubtful. We also give out the dates for upcoming economic black out actions.

We were wrong about the Coca Cola ICE raid. And we talk about the firings at the federal letter agencies and Trump's underwater numbers. In all, a garbage week all the way around.

This week was a bouquet of loathesomeness, with a Russian asset confirmed to be DNI, a lawyer in charge of public health, a 4 year old puts the First Lady in his place, and the Kennedy Center board is fired, as are probationary government employees. We've almost survived our first month! Only 47 to go!

The Felon's golden touch extended to the Super Bowl, various federal agencies and grant programs, and other parades of nonsense since Sunday. We also bestow an honorarium on Alabama Senator Katie Britt, whose proven record of bootlicking have come back to bite her constituents in the you-know-what.

Kate flies solo again upon hearing from Kat Arnett on TikTok who states Canada is on a war footing as the US rhetoric against Canada continues. Most Americans, myself included, have no idea what the world response to what's going on here is. An appeal to tell us and more information about how Americans have been shut out of the global news and feel like we're on our own...

Both Coca Cola and Target found themselves mired in a disaster of their own making as consumers hit back against their actions to eliminate DEI and toss their employees to the ICE wolves. We also delve briefly into what it feels to be an American living through these times.

The proposed tariffs against Canada and Mexico fall apart in under 48 hours. Sweet moves, Donald.

Kate does a deeper dive into the 19 attorneys general who recently sent a nastygram to Costco advising them to end their DEI practices. While that seems like a big number (nearly half the country's attorneys general), what does that translate to in actual stores and potential profit margins if Costco simply packed up and left those states? Find out here on Clusterfuck!

Common sense? We don't need no common sense! This week's news round up includes talk of plane crashes, ICE raids, grift, and more! Wheee! Only 3 years and 50 weeks to go (God willing!)

ICE tracks the real criminals by raiding a Chicago elementary school... Jack Schlossberg sings to Usha Vance (Blink twice if you need rescue)... The price of eggs hits an all time high. And FEMA may be a thing of the past. Sick of all this winning yet? Plus a new FAFO winner of the week.

Today we cover the 14th Amendment, artificial intelligence, the J6 Pardons, give a shout out to the DEI employees who went on leave today, and salute our hero of the week, Bishop Mariann Budde

It's Inauguration Day and America has a convicted FELON at the helm. He's making a splash with the Hamburglar by his side, his black Sharpie in hand, and Nazi salutes flying. We're too depressed to be angry.
