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.

Outrage After Video Captures ICE Pepper-Spraying Protester Directly In The Face While He's Pinned Down

Anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis continue to grow in the weeks since an ICE agent killed Renee Nicole Good. Now people are crying foul after a different agent was filmed spraying a man directly in the face with a chemical irritant while he was pinned to the ground by two other ICE agents.

In south Minneapolis, near West 28th Street and Blaisdell Avenue, agents pinned a person to the ground and sprayed a bright orange chemical irritant directly into their face. The clashes between federal agents and local residents erupted shortly before 2 p.m. Wednesday, after the detention of two people near the intersection drew dozens of protesters who began shouting at officers.

Jesse Watters Dragged After Spouting Ridiculous Theory About Why Critics 'Never' Call Trump 'Dumb'

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was dragged after he offered the ridiculous theory that critics "never" call President Donald Trump "dumb"—even after all of the criticism Trump has received for outrageous and uninformed remarks he made at this year's World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Trump "appeared to mix up Greenland and Iceland around three times" during his rambling speech to the world elite, per one reporter, a claim that White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt flatly denied. He also claimed Europeans call him "daddy"—what?—and said the Swiss, who already largely speak German, would be speaking German were it not for the U.S.

Since around 2018, when the name was established as an insult, thousands of videos have gone viral that feature angry women in coffee shops, disgruntled that they have to wait in line, women refusing to wear a mask during the pandemic, women making racist and derogatory comments to people of color in public spaces, and much more.
