Turn off your mind
And go back with me to a better time
Do you see the same moon I do
When I'm thinking of you

Well that's ok
We can try again another day
Do you feel the same breeze I feel
Lifting you up

Let them lift you up

Cause everyone can fly
Everyone can fly
Everyone can fly
You just have to try

Did you ever stop and think when you were twenty '
You'd be where you are today

More spot on messaging from another top tier Trump appointee. The guy has more sympathy for the dead fish he catches than the people being shot at.

But was he wearing his AR-15 lapel pin?

"The Republicans had flair they made Republicans wear."
