Brooks, in her piece for Foreign Policy, titled “3 Ways to Get Rid of President Trump Before 2020,” wrote: “The fourth possibility is one that until recently I would have said was unthinkable in the United States of America: a military coup, or at least a refusal by military leaders to obey certain orders.”.

Say Hi To Sarah Silverman If You See Her In The Airport, And Other Lessons From The Comedian

... And to see people screaming in other people's faces with such rage in a time when we had to come together. And if you love Bernie, you'd do that for him, make sure that someone who listens to him, who is an ally, gets in office. That was the best way to love him. So it hurt me to see that behavior and I just said something. To those people I was looking at in front of my face in that moment. And you would have, too. Your visibility as an activist was certainly upped this election cycle. How do you plan on continuing your activism in the coming years. I don't plan. My whole family has always been active citizens. One thing I'm focused on now is being aware of where my money goes and how I spend it and what I spend it on. The oligarchy sees us as consumers, not people. So what we do and don't consume matters. Changing from a bank to a credit union is a great place to start. 8 p.m. Sunday (sold out) and Monday, Keswick ...

Jewish Comedian Sarah Silverman Reacts To Attack On 'alt-right' Leader

... possibly unite the Jews: Richard Spencer — figurehead for the infamously white nationalist “alt-right” movement — was punched in the face at an anti-Trump inauguration protest on Saturday. While giving an interview to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Spencer was explaining the meaning of the Pepe the Frog symbol — a formerly harmless cartoon co-opted by the “alt-right” during the campaign season that the Anti-Defamation League has since entered into its hate symbol database. A masked man then appeared and punched Spencer in the side of the face before running away. Spencer didn’t press charges. Stephen Bannon in 2014: Racism will get ‘washed out’ of nationalist right.

This Interview Is Going Terribly.' Sarah Silverman On Weed, Butts, Trump, Cartoon Voices And More

... I just get so… Comedy is best when you have a distance from the thing you’re talking about. Q. On that subject, how often do you come up with a new standup set? Do you work on new material all the time. I’m honing a set. There’s nothing in it from my last special. This tour is really about honing my new stuff for a new special. Actress and comedienne Sarah Silverman poses for a portrait in Toronto in 2015. Tyler Anderson / National Post. Q. I was looking through your filmography and it says you were in a 2014 short film called Cops, C*, D* and Flying. I’m not even sure we can include that title in a family newspaper. But what’s that about. We’re total idiots for naming it that. That’s my pure happiness. We ended up calling it that because that was the Word document we were passing back and forth when we were writing it — I wrote it with the late, great Harris Wittels. It’s pure stupid. Which is my favourite. It’s so aggressively dumb. It’s for nothing, to go nowhere. We shot it in a day. I love it so much. Q. On the opposite ...

Sarah Silverman Leads Hollywood Liberals In A Call For Armed Overthrow

... remember when all my colleagues – including myself – took to the streets to protest the dishonorable intentions of the Chilean military that couped up against a democratically elected Salvador Allende. Like Sarah, in the recent election I was a Bernie guy and have spent several decades of film work running down a lefty road that passed even Bernie’s exit. But I also have a healthy, respect for professional warriors and, by extension, the warrior ethos. Has Sarah ever really hung out with the soldierly crowd. Together with Pacific Street’s co-founder, Steven Fischler, we’ve done just that producing a series and individual programs on warrior traditions – everything from the Samurai, to the Gurkhas, French Foreign Legion; and, yes, Special Forces. In fact, interestingly, in the late 1990’s both Steve and myself were invited to attend the renaming ceremony at ...
