Posted a video on YouTube about Kanye's interview while wearing a Klan robe. I thought he was going to say he's joining them but he did not. But I think I understand why he wore it. YT @toureshow

I think I can explain why Kanye's in a KKK suit. I watched the interview so you don't have to.

If you want to do a long filibuster for the purpose of disturbing Senate business, wouldn't you do it during the day when the Senate is in session rather than at night when Senators aren't actually aren't doing business?

I'm making a video in CapCut. There's lots of overlays that have to align with specific moments. I want to add a clip but have the overlays stay with the clips that I originally put them with. How do you do that?

Schumer on CBS on calls for him to go:

Trump had a temper tantrum. In public. Like a toddler who isn’t getting his way.

The right's obsession with Zelensky wearing a suit is bizarre. He doesn't wear a suit so he can signal his solidarity with his people. It's traditional for world leaders who are at war to not wear a suit. Churchill did it in WW2. If Zelensky wore a suit would Trump have not thrown a temper tantrum?

Just so we’re clear, a one day boycott is performative BS. A boycott that’s short, where the company knows when it’s going to end, is BS. If you’re going to boycott it has be for a while, long enough for it to hurt you. If it doesn't hurt you, it won’t hurt the corporation.

Noah Lyles the Olympic champ in his first podcast interview since the Olympics. We talk about how he won the 100 and how he dealt with Covid in the 200. And how he feels trapped by the Olympics. This is really honest and open and powerful. Fascinating convo with a smart fascinating guy. #noahlyles

I was on TV recently with some conservative and during the break he mocked libs in general for calling Trump a dictator during the campaign. I was offended on an intellectual level even though I had to applaud that his gaslighting was next level.

The 2A folks were always saying they had to hold on to their guns in case the government turned tyrannical. Ok guys. We’re here. We’ve reached tyranny. This is the moment you were talking about.

As the dictatorship rose, Dems said, "Sit back. Don't worry, it'll collapse." What if it doesn't?
