If you do that here you will see the whole tweet and a video if it is there,

like here

Link to tweet

I am finding the only place it wont do this is one board I am on where for instance you cant keep the "s" in https for anything to work, so I always have to remove the "s" but there is no way I can figure to do this on that board but it is just that board, thanks.
