    Pissed Off Bartender Speed Runs The Week - September 25th
    Sep 26 2026
    Pissed Off Bartender speed runs the week faster than a Republican congressman can go from "family values" to "no comment." This week: Trump kicks out the press and launches his very own state media channel, Trump and Mamdani finally meet and somehow nobody throws a punch, Trump threatens to annihilate Iran (while his son-in-law is down the hall negotiating with it), a chatbot almost starts World War Three, Xi Jinping gets the red carpet treatment, the Kennedy Center is being held hostage over a name tag, the Arc de Trump gets snipers, Lauren Boebert's office could really use an HR department, ICE shoots a DoorDash driver mid-delivery, and the only ones getting a decent education in this country are raccoons in Mississippi. Buckle up.

    Pissed Off Bartender Speed Runs The News - September 11th
    Sep 11 2026
    Pissed Off Bartender speed runs the week faster than the RNC Midterm crashes Grindr. This week: Trump attacks Canada by punishing American workers, a virtually useless child tax credit, ICE runs beanies for priors, the White House website drops an online arcade nobody asked for, Dementia Don survives 9/11 all over again, Trumpapalooza kicks off in Dallas, AI is probably going to kill us all or at least make things more expensive and a GOP hopeful goes to felonious lengths to sabotage his opponent. Buckle up.
