I wrapped up season one of American Times in October of 2020…so it’s been over 4 years, but with recent developments I’m thinking it’s time for a season two. Here’s the conclusion episode of season one. Who should I interview in season two?

Amazing what a little $500,000,000 luxury jet bribe can accomplish.

Trump in 2017: “Qatar has been a funder of terrorism at a very high level.”

Sounds like he is in Spain. I hope the sharing link worked, I'm just an old Gen-Xer trying to use my phone for things, sometimes it doesn't work as intended.

This is simple. Congress should not willingly pay the bills to fund the most serious assault on political freedom in our lifetime - an assault that may collapse democracy as we know it if we don't fight back.

That was a devastating line by Liz Cheney and the worst part for those she is describing is that deep down, they know it.

The low-energy bluster on display yesterday should not distract us from this fundamental redline moment: The Commander-in-Chief wants to create a MAGA-fied military unrestrained by moral legal rules of conduct that he can send to a war on America itself.

@billkristolbulwark.bsky.social: "Trump wants to turn the military into something like ICE. ICE is an out of control agency...ICE is waging war on some people in American cities, pretty uncontrolled and doing a lot of damage, but nothing like what the military could do."

I thought the same thing. Sounds like Aikman did in his own way too. This too shall be torn down.

I worked on a movie 4 years ago with his brother and his then wife, and uh, she was way out of his league if he wasn't rich and famous. Her dad directed the film. It was something.

James Comey’s indictment isn’t the endgame, it’s the beginning.
The first domino in Trump’s plan to corrupt the DOJ: silencing opponents, intimidating donors, and laying the groundwork to undermine the next election.
This is about whether the future belongs to the rule of law—or the rule of one man.

The Brokedown on Deadset is so great. Bittersweet.

I'm not disagreeing with your broader point. Some missing context though is that in this country we're celebrity obsessed and Kimmel has been on TV for 25 years.

The thing about the first time the FBI catches you on camera receiving a $50,000 bribe is it's definitely not the first time you've received a $50,000 bribe.

When authoritarianism is on the rise, you can count on the richest, least vulnerable men on the planet to be the biggest cowards.
