Tired? No I’m not tired. I love being angry from the time I wake up until the time I fall asleep and have fear and rage induced nightmares and then waking up and doing it all over again because I’m on the right side of history, and some day my wife will realize that and come back home.

Ash you don’t understand. If we capitulate to the fascists before they have a chance to get mad at us it’ll guarantee they won’t get mad at us ever again!

Trump: "If we didn't win this election. If we had these people that were running that were ruining our country, destroying our country with their open borders and men playing in women's sports and transgender from everybody and windmills all over the place ... I'm not sure we'd even have a country."
