Born in RI, stayed for 18 years until the F4 Phantom II flew me away. I quit twitter before it was fashionable. Hate Trump. Moved Down Under and married my best friend. Pssst...it's safe here!
Like the old New Englander I am, please allow me to simply say "Ay-yup".

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”
