Slight correction: The president cannot pardon state crimes only federal crimes. In Georgia state pardons can only be issued by a state board.

[@JohnCremboz]

I was about to comment the same. Same goes for Bragg in NY.

That sounds like a very reasonable law. Why is the president able to pardon people anyways? Seems weird to me as a German

A pardon in Georgia is available after 5 years only I think.

[@VaultBoy1300]

The reason why TLDR US didn't take off is because the competition in the American news sphere is much more fierce. Covering specific topics in American news is imo a better method because I don't think a whole channel dedicated to it can compete with some of the bigger, heavier hitters you were competing with. This video is a good example of a story TLDR can cover without being a fully dedicated channel

​@@OConnelsSideOfDaRiverTrue but I think they would need hosts from US since they could be more familiar

[@Blind_Smithy]

One of the issues TLDR will face with American news is that the main audience for US news is obviously the US people. US people however are fed up with left leaning news outlets. Which although TLDR tries to be non biased they did get embroiled in a controversy a few years back with early fans for leaning left quite heavily. They have done better and only lean left slightly and their podcasts show the individual members are left leaning themselves. These facts and aspects in journalism just are not attractive to a people whose major news outlets are CNN, MSNBC and Fox. (Note fox has been removing its most right wing hosts to become more centrist). Left leaning US audience already is comfortable watching legacy media that aligns with themselves. Right leaning US audience less likely to watch left leaning new media.

[@TheEmperorGulcasa]

@@Blind_Smithy I would disagree that there is a lack of audience for left leaning content. Legacy media is heavily establishment biased and really not that popular at this point. Rather, it is the youtube algorithm that tends to heavily punish non establishment news sources that are not right wing. I've seen other independent left ish news channels get deprioritized, demonetized and generally heavily throttled in growth and exposure because of algorithm changes, policy against covering controversial topics and so on. A lot of right wing outlets avoid at least the financial problems by being funded by corporate backers in the background, whereas there is no corporates money for left wing independent news media.

[@justuscrickets]

One of the biggest issues with US news reporting is how one or two select narratives dominate the coverage of most topics. Western media coverage of the US rarely challenges or meaningfully interrogates the mainstream narrative(s). TLDR could do a great service by providing different perspectives on US news & events, besides those promoted by the major media conglomerates.

[@thomaslee8088]

Agreed

[@Kermit_T_Frog]

With the insanity that the internet has unleashed upon the world, one or two select narratives that make some sense is beginning to sound good to me. Believe me, I've seen how the news is covered in different parts of the world. The hard news does not really change that much. Facts, more or less, are facts. At least in places where the state does not control the news. I suspect that what you are calling for is a narrative that supports YOUR agenda. Narrow nationalism, or else politics of the left or the right.

[@ASMRDoodlez]

They could also add information to stories that the mainstream news doesn't include, like the fact that Hawaii sent 2 slates of electors in 1960 because of an ongoing recount or legal challenge, I can't remember which. That really weakens the case claiming that having Republican electors from Georgia is illegal and fraudulent.

[@Kermit_T_Frog]

@@ASMRDoodlez Good point. Most of the time the only thing that mainstream media is guilty of is sins of omission. ANY kind of investigative journalism is of the UTMOST value. Now, more than ever, we need facts that can be verified, and a public that BELIEVES in facts.

[@TheFinalChapters]

@@ASMRDoodlez The 1960 case is completely different to what happened in 2020. In 1960, it was the Hawaiian state government offering two slates of electors as it verified and reverified the vote totals. Accordingly, both slates of electors were certified by the governor pending the results. In 2020, Trump was trying to force a second slate of electors through despite the state being unwilling to certify them.

[@tomeekun]

I’m pessimistic. Rich people can get away with everything. This won’t be a different case. Funny, cus I was taught the USA takes these matters very seriously when I was still in school and we were learning about the USA, but the past few years have been sobering.

Also, even if Trump is charged, he will not be in a regular prison. It will be like Hitler when jailed and he will be in a castle instead writing his manifesto on social media.

@@Geojr815 Normally yes, however Georgia has tight restrictions on that pardoning power.

[@murasaki848]

Unfortunately they've missed some key elements that may not be known internationally. In the classified documents case, the presiding judge, Eileen Canon, was appointed by Trump and has shown extreme deference to what she sees as his "special status" as a former president despite no such provisions being in law. Judges have sweeping powers that can favor a defendant, as pretty much anything that can get a defendant off the hook is not subject to appeal by prosecutors, nor even seriously affects the judge's lifetime appointment to the post. Second, a presidential pardon does not cover state crimes, i.e. he can't pardon himself for two out of the four cases. What being reelected could do is cause a conflict of the trials and sentences against interfering with the office of the President. Third, there is nearly nothing that keeps a convict from running for and being elected president except impeachment and removal by Congress or enacting the 14th Amendment adopted after the American civil war which prohibits holding office by seditionists or anyone who has given aid and comfort to seditionists unless 2/3 of congress votes to override (i.e. you have to be a well-liked seditionist so congress can say "meh, it's okay you tried to overthrow the government..."). Unfortunately, none of the charges filed are actual charges of sedition.

[@d00dieb0x]

Eileen Canon makes that case less predictive and thus less relevant when predicting if he goes to jail or not.

[@TheBooban]

6:57 find votes. Honestly it seems completely normal to ask his team to do this. It doesn’t mean do anything illegal. All these charges are so flimsy and clearly politically motivated. And laws so open that anyone could be prosecuted for anything. We know this, cops and the justice system abuse regular citizens too. So, it doesn’t matter if a judge has a bias. Everything else does too. What is tragic is the political payback that may come next time they persecute a democratic ex-president. But Trump is an outlier. His own party never liked him. So he is an easy target.

@@TheBooban These arguments you're making have been floated many times, but don't work. If it were simply the one phone call itself, there would be no charges, but as the case points out it was one in a number of actions intended to interfere in the process, and the call itself furthers those with even threats of charges being brought against Brad Raffensperger. I'd suggest you watch the in-depth coverage of these charges on the Legal Eagle KZbin channel before you continue. The "could indict a cheeseburger" argument you're going on to make is absurd; these are crimes for real, and the evidence is not in any way "flimsy". Trump withheld classified documents. Trump tried to overthrow the government after actually losing an election. To not bring charges would be real corruption.

The election interference case is the one most likely to go to trial before the election - the prosecution has proposed a date for early January, which the judge is likely more inclined to go with, especially considering Trump keeps violating the protection order he's been placed under, and said judge has made it perfectly clear she is inclined to speed things up to reduce the chance of tainting the jury if he keeps being a jackass.

As an American who was fed up with our gamification and polarization of politics, I really miss your unbiased US content

[@loganleroy8622]

They list their sources for this video as being from the Washington Post, NY Times, and Politico. Those are all biased, left wing sources. If they never read any material from the right and only use left wing framing for every story, they are still giving you biased content.

[@MoanTheCelts]

Not heard a second of this. I’m from the uk, no idea how USA justice systems works. It’s more minutes than most videos about this

[@y0uCantHandle]

Good thing there is an actors strike, Trumps cases are the best entertainment 😂

Lock you up!!

Good work guys

[@LFPAnimations]

As an American I enjoy your coverage of US events. To me it is nice to hear someone from outside covering our news. Especially since I find it hard to trust anything mainstream news agencies say these days. Most news networks in the USA may convey factual information, but they always do so with a narrative or tilt in a political direction.

[@nraketh]

It makes me so furious that it has taken so long for him to see repercussions for actions EVERYONE SAW HIM DO.

[@blink182bfsftw]

Your fellow Americans love him even more for it

[@stc3145]

Trump has already gotten so much special treatment. Any normal person would have been dragged out of his home in handcuffs and thrown in jail until trial

[@golagiswatchingyou2966]

I love how the psyop has reached so far that some people think he is somehow more criminal then Joe Biden or Hillary Clinton when it's well known how corrupt and evil they both are compared to Trump.

[@loganleroy8622]

No they wouldn’t. He’s not a flight risk. The Secret Service know where he is at all times. Also, they only arrest someone if they believe you won’t turn yourself over willingly. None of this is out of the ordinary.

[@latsword3513]

For me personally I got tired of hearing US news. The US political scene has been so warped over the past few years that I stopped trying to engage with it, then stopped caring. It's so far removed from what's happening in Europe that it no longer seems relevant

[@Cast-Carnival]

I cannot thank you enough for actually breaking down the Trump legal mess. literally all I see when I look this up are CNN, MSNBC, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes. its really nice to FINALLY see an unbiased breakdown of whats going on, with clear wording. thank you, now I can understand whats going on. Love y'all.

[@Member15201]

If found guilty he will not go to "JAIL" in a real prison. He would go to some special place to serve his time. Under near first rate conditions but lose all freedom and most communication with the public. On a military base or something. Maybe even at Camp David. He would still have secret service protection but within his confinement zone. Hell it could even be one of his properties. But without guests being confined and guarded.

[@duckmeat4674]

Exactly like hunter biden managing to avoid prison

[@Pyriold]

@@duckmeat4674 What's up with this hunter biden obsession? He was never a state official. Yea he might be bad. At this point it just reeks of desperation to stick literally *anything* to joe biden while trump has probably done so many crimes you almost can't count them anymore.

[@stc3145]

Probably house arrest in a mansion somewhere, he cannot leave, and limited outside communication.

[@entropy8634]

@@duckmeat4674 That comment doesn't even make any sense! Worst... troll... ever.

[@JUAN_OLIVIER]

Funny how the same people always screaming “a thread to our democracy” is desperately trying to throw their political opponent in jail. And when this backfires and their opponent decides to do the same to them they will then again scream “a thread to our democracy” or “fascism”.

[@avacadomangobanana2588]

Because the reason people want trump in jail is because he IS an authoritarian. You’re ignoring, quite literally, all context

[@dannylive3000]

Find 11780 votes…

[@KommandantAegis]

Because he did something wrong? He refused to comply with the federal government on several occasions regarding the classified documents… especially after he made that crime a felony. Not to mention that nearly every president has had some issue regarding it, but they actually complied with the government. I don’t recall when calling the Georgia Secretary of State and asking to find 11780 votes was okay? Trump lost and so he could’ve stuck to his right wing nationalist rhetoric and may have been able to win a 2024 election without becoming one of the worst presidents in modern U.S. History (strong competition regardless). But yea… Fox News and OAN say it’s a political prosecution so it must be right guys????

[@Jay_Frank]

I seem to remember a certain group chanting "lock her up" referencing their political rival. Crazy how quickly people forget. Hypocrite.

[@peterpayne2219]

I love your content, and find it very balanced and informative. I am an American, but learned a few things from this video. Cheers!

[@jayrey5390]

Your content lives up to the "TLDR" title - giving a clear and understandable summary of events - more please 🙂 thank you!

[@MagicNash89]

The only question here will it matter? For the upcoming election, for Trump's political factions distorting the US politics?

[@AL-lh2ht]

No one likes a loser

[@Theg-is1vv]

It might be better for him

[@kingmasterfilip2965]

He's a populist, so when he got 4 indictments instead of that being career ending scandal, it is for his fanbase, government silencing him which helps him with his popularity among republicans

[@jahngomba4328]

Trump is practically immune to the laws. A man that can survive 2 impeachments 4 indictments and still be the most popular and the most likely candidate for the Republican party is something else

[@Theg-is1vv]

@@kingmasterfilip2965 yea he could be able to spin it some way

[@Teak701]

Polls show an overwhelming % of voters unlikely to vote for him if he is on 24 ballot. I’d say he’s toast.

You don't know the war biden will start in 2024. The U.S. Is going to the mid east again. They will do it right this time though. The did their home work.

[@shinydewott]

The Republicans are in quite a pickle this election. They spent their entire arsenal and resources to build a cult of personality around Trump to sell to evangelicals, and now they’ve invested so deep into it that they have no chance of backing out of it. They’re either gonna have to drop Trump and lose his cult or double down on Trump and lose all the centre-centre right voters who are disturbed by the Trumpers and Evangelical extremism

[@Kwippy]

You underestimate the stupidity of the general public.

[@soundscape26]

It's normal, people don't tend to vote for crooks, just his most ardent cult followers.

I love the US content because with how fierce American politics are, it's difficult to find a domestic source that both provides the same quality and doesn't have too substantial of a bias.

[@Frankenmuppet]

As A Canadian who has loved your content for years (your Brexit videos caught me early on in and I've stuck around through all your iterations), I've really missed your fresh observations and explanations on stuff more local to me when you shut down TLDR US. Glad to see you haven't completely given up on this side of the pond yet for content (though I understand I'm not exactly your target demographic and it probably doesn't track as well with your audience). Long story short, I appreciate your content and will gladly accept any crumbs of perspective you have

[@andykww]

Yes, keep doing US content. TLDR is one of the few unbiased, more objective news channels out there.

[@Alisdair_UK]

I like your content. All of it. With the US, there are so many commentators already. The UK has very few unbiased sources. I'll still listen to your content, it's straightforward and informative.
