We bleed to death one nick and retreat at a time.
Who cares? Go home.

Ugh. I’m sorry. I did not see this had already been posted (same story but from a different news outlet).
Why? Follow the money.
When it’s your rice bowl being upended the whole America First thing goes out the window.
Right professor?

That's how they roll.
How could anyone disagree with a sharp statement like that!
