WTF Nelly and Snoop??

Why Nelly and Snoop went to inauguration. Abuse of presidential pardon power, J6ers v. Marilyn.

 

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum react to Biden’s final days in office and Trump’s first.

 

Former President Biden issued a flurry of last-minute pardons including preemptive pardons for his own family. So he knows how to look out for his own but not our own, got it. We’ll talk about who did NOT get a pardon (Marilyn Mosby)–meanwhile Trump jailbreaks the J6 insurrectionists.

 

Rappers Nelly and Snoop Dogg performed at Trump’s inauguration despite past anti-Trump comments. “It’s not political,” Nelly said. “It’s out of respect for the office.” Is there any benefit for the Black community to engage with the Trump administration or are artists like Nelly and Snoop just being used? 

 

The hosts debate when the idea of “no permanent friends, no permanent enemies, only permanent interests” comes into play when dealing with Trump and his government.
