I actually used to work in publishing and my job was to look at the sales to determine which books should be reprinted and in what quantities. So, I’m super curious, from a personal standpoint, about what the initial run was for the Bundo book. Because I definitely wanted the physical copy and not the ebook. I'm assuming not super big. Amazon already says it won't ship for 1-3 weeks, even with prime, which means it's not in their warehouses.

When I tried to buy it online last night they didn’t even have the hardcovers available on Amazon. I had to go to the Chronicle website. But I also went pretty much immediately to buy it lol.

This really isn't related to anything, but Lin-Manuel Miranda is in the episode of Sesame Street we're watching and I love him.

I'm really sorry about Austin. It's only just popped up in my newsfeed. I don't know what to say, I'm just really, really sorry.

BTW the Dow is down about 400 pts. Also the lastest CR runs out this week (I think) 45 is meeting with the Saudi Ambassador tomorrow (he is also a Prince and brother to the Crown Prince), currently talking to Wolf and talking about Iran and how the US needs to support SA. I got tickled (if that's the right word) by NPR coverage this morning talking about MBS' involving SA in the Yemeni civil war, fighting against Iran-backed Houthi rebels, and the depiction of Iran as being a country of religious radicals. I'm like...have y'all never heard of Wahhabism? Are you aware of all the religious strictures placed particularly on women, including not being able to drive (which will not go into effect until June) and strict dress codes which are just as bad as anything going on in Iran? Are we not going to talk about the fact that they are a dictatorship run by a single family??? I have feelings about this. I have never understood why the US is so friendly w/ SA (apart from oil) while we criticize so many other Muslim countries for behavior that is no more oppressive and sometimes far less so. The final question Wolf asked was on the treatment of women and his answer was blah blah driving, blah blah elections and we have a long way to go but LOOK how far we've come. Nah brah you have a horrible record so shuddup.

Federal funding for nonaddictive pain killers We are close we can do it. Brings up a family who lost their son, whose addiction started when he found pills in his parents cabinet. (At that point doesnt that make the parents culpable?) This kid had a college degree in actuarial science. also touts program for people to dispose of excess meds.

Opiod addiction shouldnt be subsidized by taxpayer
Also commercials showing kids how bad addiction is.
As a child of the 70s and remembering Nancy Regan and Mr. T. and the 'this is your brain, this is your brain on drugs' as well as "i learned from watching you dad' commercials are not very effective. there is a website with them its going to save a lot of lives

Sanctuary cities release criminals, dealers etc back into our cities and his admin is going up against them. they are making it very dangerous for law enforcement. Nice how you only want to protect and not disparage LEO when it works to your advantage. fucker

I was going to share the survey sent out by trump to registered republicans about should we ask about citizenship during the census this year. Dh used my email when he signed up as a republican many moons ago (it is used as the default family email address) and it was in my spam folder. But it comes up as 503 forbidden without log in if I try to forward it or share the link.

I turned it off when he started talking about DACA, the wall, and sanctuary cities. I was having a visceral reaction.

Oh my gosh if you have HBO please make sure you watch Last Week Tonight w/ John Oliver from last night. OH MY GOD IT IS AMAZING. I KNOW RIGHT?! Every child in my orbit is getting a copy of that book. Ordered one for my daughters, it is going to take 1-2 weeks to come. Trying to decide what other kids in my life need a copy

Why is he only talking about drugs coming from China... How about the manufacture of meth in homes across our very own nation?
I mean you have to show id to buy sudafed. Thats not a foregin problem.
Other countries dont have a drug problem because death penalty for dealers. Yes they also execute people for speaking out against a corrupt government. but hey tomato tahmato.

Hes bringing up whats his face from Eli Lily to talk about drug pricing. Because he personally didn't profit from the gauging of customers. Yeah this is the guy I want to tell me about how you're gonna lower the prices.
