Podcasts about Trumpster fire

Hello Interactors,In 2002, when I was at Microsoft, Bill Gates launched an initiative called Trustworthy Computing (TwC). The internet was fresh, ripe for malicious attacks, and Microsoft was a big target. Memos were issued, posters were printed, teams were formed, and code was fortified. And in the case of hidden Easter Eggs in Windows and Office — removed. Internal hacks weren't a good look.Trust is everywhere these days — politicians vow to restore it, social scientists try to measure it, and brands continue to demand it. U.S. money says to trust God, and it seems we're now asked to trust Musk. Clearly trust isn't universal; it's shaped by our views of and interactions with power, place, and institutions.Lately, trust feels harder to hold onto. It's not just social media, politics, or government failures — the spaces where trust once thrived are disappearing. Town squares, shops, and local newspapers are vanishing, replaced by fragmented digital alternatives. Trust may be declining; but it's mostly shifting, and not always for the better.Trust won't simply "return" with a memo from Bill. Nor from Trump, Zuck, Musk, or Jeff. Even if they did, they'd likely soon be tossed in the Trumpster Fire. These figures make us question who is gaining trust, who is losing it, and what these new patterns mean for democracy and social cohesion?SELF-TRUST LOST TO CIVIC COSTTrust begins with confidence in what we know and perceive. We rely on self-trust to navigate the world — to make decisions, assess risks, and interpret so-called reality. Self-trust relies on the brain's ability to process uncertainty and predict outcomes. The prefrontal cortex (the brain's decision-making hub) assesses risks based on past experiences, while the anterior cingulate cortex (a small but crucial center between hemispheres) detects conflicting information, signaling when to doubt or adjust beliefs. When these systems function well, self-trust remains stable. But in an era of conflicting information, the brain is flooded with competing signals, making it harder to form confident judgments. Chronic exposure to uncertainty and misinformation can overstimulate these networks, leading to decision paralysis or over-reliance on external authorities.Yet self-trust isn't just a cognitive process — it is also shaped by social and epistemic (knowledge-related) factors. Prominent NYU philosopher Miranda Fricker, known for her work on epistemic injustice, argues that trust in one's own knowledge isn't formed in isolation but depends on social reinforcement and being recognized by others as a credible source of knowledge. When individuals experience repeated epistemic injustice — being dismissed, ignored, or denied access to authoritative knowledge — they internalize doubt, weakening their own cognitive autonomy. Without reliable social validation or consistent feedback from their surroundings, self-trust erodes. This is not just a psychological state, but a consequence of power structures that shape who gets to "trust" their own judgment and whose knowledge is devalued.In the past, people validated their understanding through direct experience and social reinforcement. I remember watching TV anchor Walter Cronkite as a kid with my family in Iowa. He was the source of authoritative knowledge for us all. We also learned from trusted local voices and community newspapers. The Des Moines Register was won of the most influential and trusted regional papers in the country. It won 16 Pulitzer Prices from 1924 to 2010 — the first being for the work of syndicated editorial cartoonist “Ding” Darling. Now, those anchors have weakened. These knowledge sources have been replaced by curated digital landscapes, where information is sorted not by credibility, but by engagement metrics and algorithmic amplification. One case study shows that this shift can lead to a growing public reliance on self-reinforcing information bubbles, where trust in knowledge is shaped more by network effects than by institutional credibility. This creates a paradox: people have more access to knowledge than ever before yet feel less certain in what they know and trust.This crisis of self-trust extends beyond information. It is not just about struggling to determine what is true, but also about uncertainty over how to act in response to a changing political and social landscape. Despite declining trust in political leaders, there is evidence public support for democracy remains strong. We may doubt the players, and even the game, but our faith in democracy mostly stays the same.This gap — between distrust in leadership and belief in the system — creates the sense of civic uncertainty we all feel. It's not hard to find those who once trusted their ability to participate meaningfully in democracy but now feel disengaged, disoriented, or discombobulated. They're unsure whether their actions can have any real impact. Voting, town halls, and community groups used to feel like meaningful ways to engage, but when institutions seem distant or unresponsive, they lose their impact. At the same time, digital activism and decentralized movements offer new ways to get involved, but they often lack clear legitimacy, accountability, or real influence on policy.Rising polarization, disinformation, and the decline of local journalism have made it harder for people to trust democratic institutions. Many still believe in democracy but doubt whether their actions make a difference. This uncertainty fuels disengagement, creating a cycle where institutions fail to respond, deepening distrust. The real crisis isn't about rejecting democracy — it's about struggling to find meaningful ways to participate in a system that feels increasingly unresponsive.STRANGERS ONLINE, NEIGHBORS OFFLINEIf trust in ourselves grounds what we know, trust in others helps it grow. We nurture it through everyday interactions — recognizing familiar faces, exchanging small favors, and feeling a shared connection to the places we live. But as communities change and people become more disconnected, those trust-building moments start to wither.Many neighborhoods once relied on deep social networks woven through personal relationships — longstanding ties between neighbors, trust built through shared spaces, and informal support systems that provided stability. Small businesses, community centers, and local institutions weren't just places of commerce or service; they were gathering spots where people formed relationships, exchanged information, and reinforced a sense of belonging. But economic restructuring, gentrification, and urban development have disrupted these networks, dismantling the infrastructure that once sustained social trust.As housing costs rise, longtime residents are pushed out, taking with them the relationships and shared history that held communities together. Gentrification swaps deep local ties for a more transient crowd, while big corporations replace small businesses that once fostered real connections. Where shop owners knew customers by name, now it's all about quick transactions, leaving fewer chances for meaningful interaction.Adding to this shift, the rise of online shopping and door-to-door delivery has further reduced the need for everyday in-person interactions. Where people once ran into neighbors at the local grocery store or chatted with shop owners, now packages arrive with a quick doorstep drop-off, and errands are handled with a few clicks. This convenience comes at a cost, replacing casual, trust-building encounters with isolated transactions, further weakening the social fabric of neighborhoods.Car dependency doesn't help. Car dependence doesn't just reduce social interactions — it reshapes them. As urban sprawl spreads people further apart, longer commutes and car-centric infrastructure leave less time for community engagement, weakening neighborhood ties. Public transit, one of the few remaining shared civic spaces where people of different backgrounds interact, has been deprioritized, reinforcing isolation.Yet, denser urban living isn't necessarily the fix. While some advocate for more compact, walkable communities to counteract social fragmentation, there is research that shows density alone doesn't guarantee stronger social bonds. High-rise developments and mixed-use neighborhoods may put people physically closer together, but without intentional social infrastructure — such as well-designed public spaces, accessible community hubs, and policies that foster local engagement — denser environments can be just as isolating as car-dependent sprawl.At the same time, digital life has transformed how we interact. Social media and online communities have expanded the scope of connection, but often at the cost of place-based relationships. Online, people tend to engage with those who already share their views, reinforcing ideological silos rather than broadening social trust. Meanwhile, interactions with strangers — once the foundation of civic life — become more fraught, as society sorts itself into parallel realities with fewer common reference points.Yet social trust is not entirely collapsing. While some forms of trust — particularly trust in strangers and diverse social networks — are declining, alternative forms of community trust are emerging. Digital spaces, local activism, and mutual aid networks offer new avenues for rebuilding trust, even as traditional community bonds weaken. The question is not whether trust exists, but what kinds of trust are flourishing, and at what cost?CONNECTED OR CONNEDAt the broadest scale, institutional trust is what binds societies together — it's the belief that governments, media, and public institutions operate with some level of fairness, competence, and accountability. But in many places, that trust has been unraveling for decades.This isn't just about political polarization or disinformation. Much of the erosion of trust in institutions comes from lived experience. Local governments used to be the most trusted level of governance, but years of budget cuts and privatization have left them struggling to provide basic services. To stay afloat, many cities have outsourced essential services to private companies, prioritizing short-term cost savings over long-term community needs. As a result, public services have become more uneven, with some neighborhoods getting what they need while others are left behind. Instead of feeling like a reliable support system, local government now often seems distant, underfunded, and unable to truly serve the people who rely on it most.In the United States, "austerity urbanism" has led to mass school closures in cities like Chicago and Philadelphia, cuts to public transportation in Detroit, and the deterioration of water infrastructure in places like Flint and Jackson. Public housing budgets have shrunk, forcing cities to rely on private-public partnerships that often lead to rising rents and displacement.Rather than being experienced as sources of support, local governments are increasingly perceived as punitive forces. In some cities, emergency financial managers — appointed to balance municipal budgets — have slashed services and sold public assets with little public input, reinforcing a sense that government is distant, unaccountable, and incapable of serving its residents. The result is a feedback loop of distrust: as public services decline, citizens disengage, reinforcing the very conditions that make institutions seem ineffective or absent.The decline of trust in representative institutions does not mean trust in governance itself has collapsed. Research shows that while trust in elected officials and legislatures is declining, trust in implementing institutions — such as courts, police, and civil services — has remained relatively stable in many democracies. This suggests that while citizens may distrust politicians and their decision-making, they still believe in the structural functions of governance itself, even if that trust is increasingly conditional and unevenly distributed.However, as local trust declines, people are looking elsewhere for authority. In some cases, this has meant turning to charismatic leaders who position themselves as restorers of stability in response to perceived governmental dysfunction. Right-wing populist movements like Trumpism — with authoritarian-leaning politicians funded by libertarian-leaning capitalists — have capitalized on this distrust, framing themselves as defenders of "the people" against an out-of-touch political elite.Meanwhile, others have sought alternative governance structures to fill the void left by failing institutions. For example, food policy expert Katie Morris highlights how some cities, fed up with national inaction on food insecurity, are taking matters into their own hands. She highlights how “Right to Food Cities” are stepping up to provide food assistance and support local food systems, proving that even when higher levels of government fall short, local action can still make a difference. Seattle's Food Action Plan is one example.While these efforts demonstrate local governments' ability to function as alternative governance models, they also highlight the fragmentation of trust — where some communities invest in grassroots action while others retreat into authoritarian appeals for order.It seems trust isn't disappearing — it's being redistributed. Some find security in bureaucratic institutions like the courts and civil service, while others seek top-down leadership in populist figures or create community-driven governance alternatives. Either way, this redistribution deepens political fragmentation, making it harder to achieve widespread institutional legitimacy.Each of these crises — self-trust, social trust, and institutional trust — feeds into the others. When people struggle to trust their own judgment, they become more hesitant to engage with their communities. When social networks weaken, people feel more isolated and disconnected from larger institutions. And when institutions fail, people turn inward, relying on personal networks or ideological affiliations over collective governance.But just as these crises reinforce each other, so too can their solutions. Restoring trust isn't about recreating an idealized past — it's about understanding how different visions of community shape trust today. Many people look to historical models of social cohesion, whether rooted in low-density suburban stability of the 1950s or high-density, transit-oriented neighborhoods of the late 1800s, as templates for rebuilding trust. These views, rooted in social capital theory — the idea that strong community ties build trust and cooperation — recognize that our surroundings shape how we connect. While social capital can foster civic engagement, it also has a darker side.Political analyst Adam Fefer, who studies democratic resilience, highlights how tight-knit networks have fueled anti-democratic movements in the U.S., spreading misinformation rather than broadening trust. The January 6th attack wasn't spontaneous — it was driven by organized groups leveraging veteran organizations and faith communities to mobilize action. Historically, exclusionary civic groups have also reinforced segregation and voter suppression, showing that not all social capital strengthens democracy.However, these same civic networks can protect democracy, as seen in union-led economic shutdowns and business leaders opposing political extremism. This highlights a crucial fact: the impact of social capital on civic well-being varies based on its structure, who it empowers, and its intended purposes.Rather than looking backward, we need to build trust in ways that fit today's world—both digital and physical. That means strengthening local knowledge networks, rethinking where and how we connect, and recognizing that much of life now happens online, from social interactions to doorstep deliveries. While shared public spaces still matter, we must also find ways to foster trust in a world where community, commerce, and governance are increasingly digital.And it means rethinking governance, not as a distant authority, but as something more active and responsive—an ongoing process that truly gives people a stake in shaping their communities. Perhaps the real challenge isn't in longing for a past version of civic life, but in asking how we can create the conditions today that make people feel connected, capable, and truly invested in the future of their neighborhoods. How do we build a world where trust isn't just a distant trace, but a tangible part of our daily interactions with people and place? This is a public episode.

Andrew is safe and sound in Vegas (despite a near-death experience in St. Louis), and we're back baby! What fate met TikTok while we were off, and why are people speculating about Taylor Swift's sexuality? Laura and Pam are alarmed by Andrew's thoughts (as usual). A confessional from someone who tried sex work prompts us to talk about jobs we've had or considered in the past, and Andrew identifies a pattern for Laura. The main theme of Trumpster Fire is negative growth... at a rate of 32.9%. What does this mean, and how is Trump trying to distract us? With CARES Act unemployment assistance and eviction moratoriums ending, we pivot to what this means for renters who are still suffering economically, as well as the difficulty faced by small property management operations. People are Google-ing about how to date and meet people during COVID - are we able to help them? How do we think people fake emergencies to get out of bad dates right now? Does 2020 have a Song of the Summer? This week's recommendations are pretty predictable based on our personalities: Bringing walkie talkies with you on a multi-car road trip (Andrew), this r/nosleep strory (https://www.reddit.com/r/nosleep/comments/f5up4c/my_wife_and_i_bought_a_ranch_in_the_mountains/) (Laura), and the Hario Cold Brew Bottle (Pam).

Support #Millennial by supporting our sponsors! And in this week's episode of After Dark, available on Patreon: It's the MuggleSuck AMA y'all! We took Patrons' most burning questions about growing up in the Harry Potter fandom. We chat about staying in touch with former hosts, Wizard Rock, and who Andrew is afraid of showing up at his house. The former podcast hosts: Where are they now? Pam spills some tea about her worst celebrity interview. Stay tuned for a photo of the encounter on Patreon!

This week's episode runs the gamut on topics, so let's dive right in, shall we? Pam celebrated a socially distant birthday, and Andrew bids adieu to Chicago. We pay tribute to two civil rights icons we were gutted to lose on the same day: John Lewis and C.T. Vivian. As Andrew leaves Chicago, Laura and Pam quiz his Windy City knowledge. Are our pets getting too attached to having us around? What can we do to ease them back into the "old normal" when we go back to work? 'Rona roundup gets more ridiculous every week: White House demands case counts be reported to HHS instead of CDC, and Gov. Brian Kemp of Ga. sues Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance-Bottoms over her mask mandate. We're trying to be optimistic about a vaccine though! Trumpster Fire should have been the name of Trump's Sunday interview with Chris Wallace. Protesters are being swept off the streets by federal agents in unmarked vans in Portland because Trump really wants to play the tyrannical overlord. In light of Andrew's move, we talk about times in our lives where we've moved somewhere, only to have it not work out. How did we process the shame and feelings of failure? This week's recommendations are a grab bag: Mr. Clean Magic Erasers (Andrew), the 'March' graphic novel trilogy by John Lewis (Laura), and Trader Joe's cold brew coffee concentrate (Pam).

Support #Millennial by supporting our sponsors! And in this week's installment of After Dark, available on Patreon: This week, Pam is bringing the tea. And we're here for it! How to have a conversation with someone who doesn't view the 'rona risk the same way as you do. We take this really hard Twilight superfan test (https://www.goodreads.com/quizzes/3455-hard-twilight-test-for-true-fans-only) in celebration of the upcoming Midnight Sun release. We really need to re-read Twilight.

Pam and Marc are back this week, and it's a good thing, because we have a lot of ground to cover. Welcome to the mid-season finale of 2020, where news ranges from Disney bleeping Hamilton to Trumpster Fire 2020. Apple's WWDC introduces some features to help deal with your annoying friends when they blow up group messages, and Apple Watch will soon be providing a countdown when it detects hand washing happening. Laura and Marc are playing Last of Us 2 and ignoring the haters. Let's kill some zombies! Andrew delights himself by purchasing new music beds for our show segments. While California is requiring everyone to wear masks in public spaces, several southern states are seeing the consequences of re-opening too soon. This week in Trumpster Fire 2020: Americans can turn off political ads on Facebook and Instagram (thank god), Scumbag John Bolton is not a patriot, SCOTUS decisions, and Trump's "very sad" rally taken down by Gen Z and Kpop stans. You love to see it. Marc provides his insights on call-out culture and having meaningful dialogues with potential allies surrounding discussions of #BlackLivesMatter and police brutality. When and how is it productive to call someone out, and what is the end goal in doing so? This week's recommendations are all art, baby! Hulu's 'Love, Victor' (Pam and Andrew), Black Girl Unlimited by Echo Brown (Laura), and the upcoming Spiderman 2: Miles Morales for PS5 (Marc). Stay tuned in past the end music for a couple of bloopers! This week's episode is sponsored by listeners like you. Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/millennial) for as little as $2 per month, and gain instant access to loads of bonus content. We're so thankful for your support! And in this week's installment of After Dark, available on Patreon: It's time to Surprise Bitch! listener Drew, who clues us in about how the dog walking business is faring under COVID-19. Inspired by our Facebook group, we come clean about the common knowledge we've only recently discovered. It turns out we're really dumb when it comes to car knowledge. "Whores de-vors."

We've got a hefty bag of bologna for you this week! Bronwen reports on her experiences with crazy vigilantes in South Philadelphia, AJ reflects upon his relationship with hip hop, and both hosts agree they are embarrassed by how easy it is learn about black history if you actually bother to care.Mentioned this ep:Do you have feels about the Trumpsterfire rally scheduled to take place this Saturday at the site of the Tulsa race massacre?

TRUMPSTER FIRE!!! by Bob Van Dyne

Trump spent this week defending an incorrect claim about Hurricane Dorian's trajectory, culminating with a government agency contradicting its own scientists to help make his falsehood sound more true; The White House dips into military construction funds to pay for Trump's border wall & Rep. Marc Veasey joins to discuss how that affects Texas; Bernie Sanders says population control is an important part of fighting the climate crisis; Trump's 2020 fate may rest on the economy and with the manufacturing sector shrinking, so far, it's not looking too hot; Next week's NC special election could be a litmus test for 2020

Chris and Jon pre-record 2 weeks in advance. So we predict the headlines. Give it a listen.

In this episode of The Humanist Report we'll focus on President Trump's morally reprehensible—and fascistic—‘zero tolerance' (i.e. family separation) policy on immigration. We'll also talk about Fox News propagandists' attempts to rationalize imagery of children being locked in cages. Additionally, we'll talk about why we need to abolish ICE. Also on the program we'll discuss the gutting of California's net neutrality bill, more lies from FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, Democrats resisting Trump from the right, Kathy Griffin's voter shaming, and the debate between Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Joe Crowley. Finally, we'll close the show by having Representative Ro Khanna on to talk about his recent endorsements. That's what we got on the agenda for this week. Enjoy the show, everyone!

We go down the #INCEL rabbit hole in Episode 36. What IS an INCEL? What is the "INCEL rebellion," a "Chad," a "Stacy," a "Normie," and all the other various language and ideas guiding this particularly dangerous group of men. We also give you new language: "aggrieved entitlement," and "misogynistic terrorism." With all the #massshootings today, mostly committed by young white men who are angry with women for denying them sex, we provide a basic primer on this movement and make the connection, which is something that is being ignored in mainstream media outlets. The #TrumpsterFire addresses #POTUS's misogyny (or hatred of women).

Let's have some fun, shall we? In Episode 32, we play the Headline Game and let it all hang out. Half of this Table Talk could be an outtake, but we left it all in for your amusement because you need to laugh. The Trumpster Fire once again discusses Trump's incessant tweets - this time, tweets are becoming gun policy. Our newest segment, Fierce Woman Warrior, is a brief profile on an amazing woman who is actively working to change her community. Our Fierce Woman Warrior this episode is student activist Emma Gonzalez, survivor of the Parkland HS mass shooting in Florida in February and leader of the #enough #neveragain movement. Our Media Minute asks you to watch the HBO series Insecure.

It's a crew thang this week. Gyasi, Wes and Minty going through the news and dropping a few bombs, gifting a few gems.

This week I made my best effort to tone down the Trumpster Fire coverage. I think we all needed a break – I know that I did. So, yes, there is a fair amount of Trump in the show – … Continue reading → The post 265: What Happened appeared first on American Cliché.

On this week's episode: Letting everyone vote continues to work out the way we thought it would ... Eli's cynical intellectual elitism grows ever more calcified ...

We start the week, as always with everything we screwed up last week. We then move into our SNL recap, hosted by Dave Chappelle, and move on to some serious crybabies in Portland. We get into some great movie picks, recommendations, NHL content, and, as always, our whiners of the week!

On a slow news week, we were really reaching for some news stories to talk about. But, at the end of the day, we hope this is where you go, to get away from it all...

#Millennial reporting live from the end of the Republic, with only two more weeks left before the next - and depending on how it goes, maybe the last - presidential election. -Is Wonder Woman an empowering role model for girls worldwide, or just over-sexualized spank bank material for boys? The UN deliberates. Tonight at 9. -AT&T announces it's buying Time Warner for a monumental $85.4 billion. Harry Potter asks if this means he'll get free roaming. -A new installment of Trumpster Fire 2016 comes with a PSA about polling booth selfies, brought to you by: Justin Timberlake - bringing felonies back since 2004. -The Number asks us to guess which state has the highest per capita number of sex toys, and spoiler alert, it's NOT GEORGIA. NICE SLACKING THERE LAURA. -Surprise, bitch! is a massive failure, much like this show. In this week's After Dark: -Halloween is almost here, and we kick it off with another creep ass story from our resident ghost hunter. -Close the portal. -Where should costumes draw the line between fantasy fictional characters, and cultural appropriation? No one knows for sure, but avoiding skin makeup is probably a good fuckin start. -How should we each dress up, and why don't boys' costumes show off their ass cheeks? SEEMS LIKE A DOUBLE STANDARD. Thanks Obama.

Error Check from last week, followed by the rundown including; Donald Trump and the Trumpsterfire that is him, the best damn Nobel Prize hot takes you will hear, Joe Buck and his hair transplants. We then get into listener questions, a quick NFL rundown, and who can forget, but the Kevin James Update?!

Matthew Neville (Democrat) and Justin Groenert (Republican) discuss some of the Vanderburgh and Indiana overall election races and touch on the Presidential race.  http://evansvillepodcast.com/trumpster-fire-2016-elections/ http://www.beyondrepairshow.com https://internationalpodcastday.com/  

Golden ticket winner Claire toughs out a packed show about Trump's downward spiral. But first: Bucket Lists: what's on ours, and why do they all entail the same thing. Trumpster Fire 2016: further and further down the rabbit hole we go. The Donald doubles down on his "Obama is the founder of ISIS" remarks, then claims sarcasm, then says he wasn't being sarcastic.  Some people are saying he's become psychologically unhinged. We're not saying that, but some people are.  An ideological screening test for immigrants - coming to an authoritarian regime near you! Hidden from the Headlines asks why the recent shooting in Milwaukee has fallen of the media's radar so fast. The Number. Sponsored by generational poverty.  And this week's After Dark is ratchet AF: Fuck Off, Cupid! features our latest gems from the online dating world.  We read another part of Andrew's now-famous Scorpius/Albus Severus fan fiction... some of us in front of our parents.
