This has been great, I’m going to enjoy some time crying

We lived through it, a whole hour and twenty minutes of painting a picture of a racist hell-hole

I don’t know, America sounded pretty fucking dark tonight

“The people dreamed this country, the people built this country, and it’s the people who are making America great again”

And now Republicans are chanting “USA”

Apparently patriotism is found in death and addiction

What is “maximum pressure?”

Is this the part where Trump threatens war with North Korea???

Trump touts “new rules of engagement”

Oh, here we get to the supporting torture part of the evening.

Fun use of “annihilate”

Honestly, “set politics aside” after “chain migration” and “catch and release” is such fucking bullshit

Oh, here we are to terrorism which, Trump claims, is the result of chain migration

Not a single Democrat claps for any of this immigration reform bill.

Immigration reform is introduced after ten minutes of framing immigrants as “savage,” criminal murderers

Trump speaks of his “compassion” for America’s children, workers, and struggling communities

Trump calls ICE agents “great people”
