Based on the long tradition of Muckraking journalism exposing corruption Two guys bring you the news every week and tell you why you're not alone screaming into the void. We're all going to die in the apocalypse, but at least the Muckrakers saw it coming, talked about it and made fun of it. So while…
...he'll probably quit on us anyway. In this episode Pete and Bobby discuss the worst jobs they've ever had, and Pat never gets around to telling everyone about the god awful Circle K! Maybe next time, maybe next time.

Businesses demand not just your time but your feigning of emotions as well; suffering is not enough, you have to put on a happy face while grease from the fryer burns you and the boss gropes you.

Impeachment Formalized - Those Muckrakers Ep91 by Pat and Pete
This week, Trump destroys our Kurdish allies in order to bolster his own personal standing with the Saudis for personal enrichment while whining about the Democrats stopping him from breaking the Emoluments Clause by holding the G7 at his personal resort to further profiteer off of the Presidency. They could stop him from having his stupid get-together but not from slaughtering 100,000 Kurdish people who have done nothing but help America.

This week Trump really outdoes himself by committing all kinds of treasonous acts while also trying to get us into war at the behest of his wealthy benefactors, the Saudis.
