Hillary Clinton formally accepted her party's nomination for president of the United States on Thursday night at the Democratic National Convention. The former first lady, senator and secretary of state didn't waste the opportunity to throw some shade at Donald Trump and smash the glass ceiling into smithereens.

In her acceptance speech, Clinton dropped some boss lines that saw the Twitter crowd lose its collective mind. The presidential nominee fought through Senator Bernie Sanders supporters taunting her from the floor to deliver the 56-minute monologue.

Clinton is the first ever female presidential nominee of a major party and could become the first ever female president of the United States. So you don't have to sit through the whole hour, here are the power lines from Clinton's historic speech:

Hill delivered a social media TKO.

It was the most tweeted moment of her speech, according to Twitter.

Dropped some burn on the climate change deniers.

Smashed the ceiling.

Told Donald: "Nope."

And then, exposed Donald Trump as being Donald Trump.

"Here’s the sad truth: There is no other Donald Trump."
