3. Oh, the thoughts that engenders. . .

4. Maybe it means that he thinks he's a "tough guy?"

6. That wasn't where my thoughts were.

8. He was part of the hip hop feud between East Coast and West Coast

The Notorious B.I.G. (Christopher George Latore Wallace), had been feuding with Tupac Shakur before Tupac was killed. But prior to his death, he also was at a party with many people, including Crips and Bloods. Of course, he was gunned down, but to this day, unlike Tupac, no one knows who killed him. The perpetrators have never been found, and they likely will never find them.

5. This was as Trump spoke at the Black Conservative Federation no less. I hope that this was......

……… the gathering I saw earlier where 3/4 of the seats were empty.
Capeheart said “Haley Joel Olmos” when he meant Osment, but I’ll forgive him for that small error.

9. That may actually be better. Or not. It is confusing to me sometimes.

10. Jonathon's facial expressions as this clip played...

...were priceless.

I think my own were probably very similar.

11. Mine, too! Though TFG's bigotry is well known.

He and his father faced legal repercussions for refusing to rent to Black people. And in Mary Trump's book she said that the "N-word" was used at her grandparents' house.
