    This is honestly real boring

    Take a moment to donate what you can to Critical Resistance and Black Lives Matter.

    This might be the most insular and nationalistic speech I've heard that's not in news reels of WW2.

    I'm pretty sure his job policy is just hiring the unemployed to build the wall.

    Amazing that he went with a speech that's so grimdark you'd feel like a bad person for applauding.

    Bernie's twitter feed is pretty great tonight too. Focused on his issues but tearing this speech apart.
