Tim imagines a reality show touring toppled dictators' palaces, giving a mock interior-design critique of the Assad palace's modern, clean aesthetic compared to Saddam's gaudier style.
- Tim pitches a reality show touring dictator palaces that the US propped up around the world.
- The Assads had a modern aesthetic, unlike many dated dictators whose palaces feel stuffy and old.
- The Assad torture palace's clean, metallic design with nice finishes beats Saddam's gaudy, over-the-top approach.
- Tim critiques the palace's slightly stark minimalism but appreciates the wood paneling and thick doors for security.
- The bathroom has a little Vegas flair in it, with chandeliers that Tim actually likes despite the mixed styles.
- The dictator knows how to create drama in a space by marrying modernist architecture with chandeliers and wood paneling.
- Tim insists he's excited about the rebels coming up and isn't being cynical, probably what Washington is saying right now.
