Show me a project where ground has been broken, and physical work is underway, and I will consider it. We have had far too many words and promises. Enough exhortation. Get to work. Call me again when that happens.

Injuries from a fight he started vs a smaller Canadian, who beat the shit out of him as part of a lesson Canada taught the USA: these colors don’t run, we play hockey not a goon circus, and this our game, losers. Now he has plenty of time to study those lessons. Ain’t karma a bitch … 🇨🇦
