Hey! We are spending 1 trillion on infrastructure projects.

And it will get millions of American born American citizens out there working on building walls in the desert. People will line up for miles to work on this wall. Unemployment will be solved. It will be huge.

At the UK protest, the Socialists were selling their newspaper. Isn't that a capitalistic venture - taking advantage of a sales opportunity to 'sympathetic' crowds?

At the DC Women's March there were PSL folks in several groups desperately handing out brochures about Marxism-Leninism. I wanted to pick one up and laugh in their faces as I read it.  :nelson:
