Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey tweets in support of the Hong Kong protests, Chinese basketball fans freak out, NBA goes out of its way to proclaim its love for the Chinese government and for not offending anyone.

Authoritarians be authoritarianizing. It makes me kind of sick to see how many Americans in positions of power in the NBA are willing to parrot Chinese propaganda for that sweet sweet $$$

Not ideal for an audio podcast but Matt Lauer doing "I am inevitable" is the most fun you'll have all day. #Thanos

Since we've been on the topic of Jokers, Ali Kolbert recently tweeted: "Just a reminder that dozens of women have accused Jared Leto of sexual assault."

This one had escaped my attention till now.

Craving a conversation between Pierre Delecto and John Miller.

People online quickly called out President Donald Trump's previous use of aliases on Monday, after the president's son Donald Trump Jr. and former GOP Governor Mike Huckabee criticized Republican Senator Mitt Romney's fake Twitter account.

Romney confirmed late on Sunday evening that he was behind the previously public Twitter account Pierre Delecto, admitting that he used the account to be a "lurker" on the social media platform for nearly a decade. While some Trump allies have criticized Romney for using the account, the president is known to have used various aliases for several decades to share information with journalists and the media.

"If Mitt Romney had any guts he would would take on media directly rather than with a fake twitter account, but he doesn't," Trump Jr. wrote on Twitter Monday morning after news broke that Romney had a Twitter account under the name Pierre Delecto. "He only says things that will ingratiate him to the same MSM that destroyed him during his failed run. They're using him and he doesn't even get it. Sad!"

Fun audio for the show!

"We've got a queer running for president... the white man has very few rights."

2019, y'all.

Cannot wait to hear the righteous KATG anger on this story. Harvey Weinstein should be continuously heckled until the day he dies.
