rantings
Loud angry speeches
Rantings are prolonged, vehement outbursts—angry or irrational speech that goes on at length: the rantings of a madman, I tuned out his political rantings.
The word implies the speaker has lost proportion or self-control, making their words easier to dismiss.
Almost always plural and almost always disparaging.
