From time to time President Barack Obama likes to let people know about the books he is reading.

He also provides film and television recommendations periodically.

As the year and the decade winds down, Obama once again updated his followers on Twitter with his best ofs.

The former President shared his favorite movies and TV shows in one list on Sunday, December 29.

Included were both theatrical and streaming releases in the list of 18 movies.

For television or streaming service episodic programs, Obama kept it to just three titles:

  • Fleabag: Season 2
  • Unbelievable
  • Watchmen
While none of the shows are exactly kid friendly, one title definitely drew people's notice for a specific scene from the show's pilot. And one would assume if a person watched season 2, they must have seen season 1.

The show?

Fleabag.
The scene?
Star Phoebe Waller-Bridge pleasures herself while watching a certain President giving a speech.

Some people did a bit of creative editing.

People weren't sure the recommendation meant Obama saw that scene though.





Only President Obama knows if he saw that scene and so far he's not answering that question.

Trump's Dismissive Reaction To Concerns About Insider Trading Amid His War With Iran Speaks Infuriating Volumes

In an article for CounterPunch titled "Trump’s Casino Royale: The Iran War," Matthew Stevenson wrote:

"Given that Donald Trump conceives of the presidency as a casino—why else would he be trying to makeover the White House to look like the Bellagio?—it makes sense that his administration has turned the war with Iran into an insider-trading scheme."
"It used to be that wars were fought to make 'the world safe for democracy' or 'to end all wars' (a World War I expression), but now wars are fought so that Trump insiders can get rich quick in prediction markets or to help the president’s family (and its remittance men) corner the Persian Gulf oil market."

Pointing out who is profiting off inflating oil prices and creating false scarcity, Stevenson added:
