The march will turn south on Avenue of the Americas, head west on 42nd Street to 11th Avenue and finish at 34th Street.

LOL They’re doing interpretive dance.
How do they time division multiplex the one IQ point that they all have to share?
Can’t wait to see how badly the media inflates the crowd numbers for this one. There could be 100 people show up, and the media will say it’s a half million or some obscene number. They will have them all stand really close together, and get a really narrow shot, simulating a big crowd.

Isn’t that where all the prostitutes used to hang out?

Why don’t they go to China and protest? That’s where the REAL pollution takes place. Wait.... If they go there to protest, they’ll be run over with tanks. (now there’s an idea)
Gee what is that plastic oil spot made of?
New Yorkers still can’t figure out what happened to “Summer”?It was COLD!Liberalism is a”Mental-Disease”?I thought Even”Mind-Niumbed Robots”have to possess SOME”Grey Matter”so that it can be”NUMBED”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is no public frustration. Only leftist frustration.
The future of America on full display. We are so screwed.
Nothing says *Climate Change* like paid union thugs. Astroturfers.
Pretty vague name, "Climate March".
Not "Global Warming March" and not even the latest description "Climate Change March".
The name really stands for nothing.
Yes, I agree...we should change the climate. A couple of degrees warmer would make everyone's lives better...world wide.
The main problem I have with the morons is, petroleum is a completely natural....nay, ORGANIC substance...a "biofuel" made from the recycled compost of living organisms.
Every group represented there is socialist/communist. The complete list is at the Joe Bastardi Saturday Summary I posted yesterday, and Joe mentions them in his rant. (On phone; can’t post link,)
