Haven’t seen a large lefty rally in quite some time. Guess they’re trying to get the cobwebs and rust out of their systems. I hope the sanitation workers in DC will be out in force too. We all know how clean and neat lefties are when they protest, lol....
Canada Ping!
And no counter protest has been organised?

Issue them one sheet of toilet paper each...
