Talk about a busy weekend. If you were one of the two people who thought that Joe Biden would stay in power longer than Bashar al-Assad, then congratulations! You win a pre-emptive presidential pardon and a one-way ticket to Moscow.
Join Walter Kirn and me as we try to make sense of the most jam-packed December in recent memory. We’ll kick off another Monday edition of America This Week at 8:00 PM ET.

See you soon!
Walter is in the grips of a manic episode and needs help. I should not have been so snarky he is obviously genuinely unwell.
Walter went absolutely batshit crazy this time, with Matt just nodding along. Astonishing.
When in America isn't there some loopy crank pulling off some violent stunt. The whole world isn't following the murder.
We are meant to follow the breadcrumbs? I found this naive in the extreme. Gulf of Tonkin? Nobody in America is remotely interested in another four yours of at each other's throats. What is going to be remarkable about the next four years is how ordinary life will be.
Yes, Walter you are advancing a paranoid conspiracy theory - with the mastermind, whack job acting in concert with very powerful allies?
The story is the story. The reality is simple and straightforward.
The media will do their best to undermine the Trump presidency. That's news? Bad actors twist facts to advance their own agenda? Okay, I thought I learned that when I was maybe 16?
I expect, frankly, a more adult discussion. Matt and Walter now sound as nutty as the most tortured and convoluted Obama is a secret Muslim Manchurian candidate narrative. Really. Unwatchable.
