Anti-Global Warming Scam Riots ?
when do we get this going here?

The progs want us to be “enlightened” like Europe, yeah right.
Macron is a child.
do we have more bread and circus than France?
WE were the original Revolutionaries!
“Is Paris Burning?”
WE were the original Revolutionaries!

You mean we WERE the original Revolutionaries. We’ve lost a step or two since those glorious days. Sadly, we’re no longer the country we used to be.
bummer
