Don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out.

I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.

He's mad, I tell you. Mad.

You should all make signs that say "lie" and hold them up every time he utters one.

At this point, only Republicans can stop forest fires. The forest fires they are, um, setting. By not setting them.

That's 100% what I heard, too. Maddening.
