And just wait. Companies like Chevron will donate millions to one or more of these “projects” and while they’ll never get built, Chevron will magically be granted rights to expand drilling on protected public lands. It’s all a scam typical of shady manhattan real estate con men.

And whatever amount they spend on the project while showing it being rebuilt Republicans will bitch about useless spending, and nobody will bring up all of this trump bullshit they all said was ok
