Pardons and Populism: Trump’s First Day Back in the White House

[@imhellag]

I gave this pod another chance and during the second half I was like "I need to check the youtube comments on this" and its great haha

[@tomolegend6128]

One of the Saddest days❗️

Tom, writhe in misery!

[@mikewilliams6025]

How so, Tommy boy? Can you articulate your feelings based on verifiable reality?

[@corinne7126]

Thank you for the podcast, I am an independent, love hearing all sides

[@atlerthedark3639]

Dems in 2020: "Alright, we have to stop Trump for good! No holding back!" Dems in 2025: "Oh no! Trump has returned, and he's not holding back!"

[@thejquinn]

Also Dems in 2020: "The Parliamentarian said we have to hold back 🙄"

Oh trust me, trump wasn't the least uncomfortable to have biden and harris right next to him while he shit all over them....he loooooved it. The fact you don't get that actually scares me a little. I don't think you know who he is after all this time, and with the job you have, that is pretty terrifying.

Peter Baker. Always insightful.

Surprisingly good and not super biassed to either side.

[@hanielcastro8278]

If this isn't biassed, idk what it is

[@matten_zero]

The country we deserve

[@shaunMcAlpineSFM]

Why are there so many trump worshippers on NYTs podcasts? You know it will make u upset. Why listen? Why comment? Explaining it to us in simple terms. Is there self reflection on why u do it? What's the emotion behind it? I'm not over on the Daily Wire etc talking bout how biased it is. Your boy won. Aren't your problems over now?

[@Liquidmuse3]

Yeah, he was such a warmonger last time. In fact being particularly scared of nuclear war is something he’s demonstrated for 40 years.

[@jordanschultz2232]

He was less trumpy and more balanced for sure.

[@jalexanderevans]

Why would you not do video? Do video.

[@birdstrikes]

no he and his ilk are the swamp. so cool man. I love musks salute too. america is going to get great soon i can feel it

[@axhed]

anytime you see anyone get super excited about musk's salute, show them pics of obama, kamala, and hilary making the same gesture and suck all the air out of their balloon.

Why is Jonathan Swann still living in America, even though he is trying to make it sound like a terrifying dystopia?

[@analogee6858]

I find him as annoying as the next guy, but he’s lived here for a while, is married to an American, and has a family here. Pretty sure he’s now an American citizen.

[@davec6146]

I dumped this in the dumpster 1/2 way through. I'm not a great Trump fan but he was elected. I'm hearing the same old "bull stuff". Press, I'm less a fan of you than I am of Trump, and that should make you feel really bad...if you cared beyond sustaining your grip on "proper ways of doing, saying, thinking". YOU'VE led us here. Congratulations, you've helped elect our president...YOUR president!

[@str8poosing]

It looks like you forgot to dumpster your comment with it. You dont think "proper ways of doing, saying, thinking" is important FOR THE PERSON RUNNING THE COUNTRY? Our leader, who has a lot of power and who flagrantly does whatever he wants, his actions directly AFFECT AMERICANS. At a minimum, this idiot should actually think before he acts. Enacting a hiring freeze means the vet hospitals and care they recive will continue to be inadequate, among other problems that should have been considered before acting. Also, shouldnt a president understand the constitution? Because putting out an order that directly contradicts a constitutional amendment (14th amendment about being American when youre born in America), wastes everyones time and makes America look like the idiots we are for giving this guy the keys to everything.

Your god emperor won? Shouldn't u be happy off living your life, not writing on sites that will obviously make u so upset, or will nothing achieve happiness for u?

[@jaredspencer3304]

I saw this recommended on the homepage, so I figured I'd give it a listen to see how liberal news is covering the Inauguration. It's crazy that this passes for news. So emotional, and a focus on how things seem and feel. No discussion of policy. Just panic. I'm sad that so many people get their news from this.

[@Jay-of1sv]

This is a podcast, not the "news."

[@atevensnderson5827]

Why journalist always think they need to give air time to his disciples? Are there people too isolated to have the pleasure of hearing these virtual reality monologues in their own community whenever they want (or don't)?

[@Dehmigaahd]

Interesting how cultural isolation has created pockets of linguistic drift resulting in a democratic creole in which the word populism has accrued local, and non-interconvertible usage. In this way, factions lose the requisite understanding for e pluribus unam.

[@NorthSeaWisdom]

Interesting , perhaps responsible for run-on sentences as well

This seems dated. We’ve never been more connected. There’s never been more information. We’re enthralled by the ecstasy of communication, not isolated from it.

[@thejquinn]

Its in the 14th Amendment

[@billhartig4805]

Are you joking? Have you read the constitution and its amendments? Check out section 1 of the 14th amendment.

14th Amendment. You would know this if you ever actually cared about the Constitution.

@beatthegreat7020 Why so touchy? Rough night at the bathhouse? Also, it says "subject to the jurisdiction thereof", which excludes the offspring of invaders.
