NYT: Obama in talks to provide shows to Netflix.
Per the article these wouldn’t be shows to respond to Trump but likely to highlight inspirational stories.
I can’t wait for this.

I am finally reading the Steele article. My kids hid my New Yorker in the toy box and I couldn't find it until tonight. I hope I can finish reading this long-ass article before nuclear winter.

Please god, someone hide the nuclear football from the President. Do not want him showing it off to Kim Jong Un. What if he tries to impress his adversaries by sharing classified information with them? Oh wait. He already did that. So much has happened that I more or less forgot about that.

More details it seems like Erik Prince lied to Congress about. He said the UAE delegation introduced him to Kirill Dmetriev. Nader told Mueller they didn’t.

This NK thing is next level nutty. NYT is reporting that Trump wasn't supposed to meet with the envoy fromSK until today but he found out they were at the WH, hauled them into the Oval and said, "Oh yeah, sure, I'll meet with the maniacal dictator "
Wtttfffffffffffff

Also Stormy Daniels' lawyer is out there saying Trump is lying about not knowing about the payments. Says he has receipts.

Well I hope you're ok with the raise in prices on your can of soup!!!! *that was sarcasm I'm not really wound up about them but its not really a great thing. If he wanted to help out those industries he would be better off stating all fed projects must use american manufactured steel/aluminum. We dont allow cast iron thats manufactured in China in any of our specs. It all has to be CISPI certified. I'm sure there is such a thing for steel. Its just backward looking and in the long run will cost more jobs than save.

I am quite annoyed at the steel tariffs - the ripple effect that shit can have is serious.
I also work in construction, and the raise in steel prices has been crazy, and will affect how we bid jobs.
Of course, none of the Trumpers at the office want to hear it, EVEN THOUGH IT'S RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEIR STUPID FUCKING FACE.

Maybe because I've been spreadsheeting this week and listening to way too much NPR and I've heard All. The. Takes. Maybe it's because I really don't know much about trade, but it seems to be getting outsized attention this week. *shrug*

I care a little bit about the tariffs but I’m already overwhelmed with the Texas elections, hating the NRA, getting pissed at the heightened racism, and being furious at states trying to get rid of abortion. I know it’s important, but I am emotionally drained right now.

Also exhausted and having a hard time caring about tarriffs. That whole situation just emphasizes what we already knew- that Trump won’t listen to any actual, qualified advisors and does whatever the F he wants.
