A new week

>We know that feeling.

Yes, we do.

Clearly that's not the 'we' Ron refers to.
The 'we' you refer to isn't worthy of the 'we' Ron refers to.
Part of the knowing feeling to which you refer.

And to close out the week on a high note, we learn that a White House insider is a "person of interest".

Oh, something new:

Trump's nominee as Deputy Treasury Secretary withdraws, citing "personal reasons".

Proof the Saudi's read the NY times:

Tips for Leaders Meeting Trump: Keep It Short and Give Him a Win

After four months of interactions between Mr. Trump and his counterparts, foreign officials and their Washington consultants say certain rules have emerged: Keep it short — no 30-minute monologue for a 30-second attention span. Do not assume he knows the history of the country or its major points of contention. Compliment him on his Electoral College victory. Contrast him favorably with President Barack Obama. Do not get hung up on whatever was said during the campaign. Stay in regular touch. Do not go in with a shopping list but bring some sort of deal he can call a victory.

Shortly afterward, the pageantry continued inside the Saudi Royal Court, where Salman presented Trump with a gilded necklace and medal, the country's highest honor. The distinction also was bestowed upon Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush.

In Riyadh, Saudis prepared to welcome Trump in grand fashion. A five-story image of Trump's face was projected on the exterior of the Ritz Carlton hotel where he'll stay, and large billboards of Trump and King Salman lined the highway from the airport.

I'm surprised this didn't become an international incident.

White House moves to block ethics probe into ex-lobbyists on payroll | What to watch for in Trump’s budget

The Times says the conflict came in recent days when the White House, in a highly unusual move, sent a letter to Office of Government Ethics Director Walter Shaub, asking him to withdraw a request he had sent to every federal agency for copies of the waivers. In the letter, the administration challenged his legal authority to demand the information.
