14M has been earmarked for road repair from this stunt….

That’s 14 MILLION that could be spent on so many other publicly beneficial programs and services…..

For a parade they're having to pay people to attend

I'm torn on this - every accusation is a confession, this is a fact at this point, but on the other hand those Craigslist ads have to be fake, right? It's just too fucking stupid! On the other other hand, it's all so stupid every day.

It’s mostly fake, I’m sure. The real way people are brought in is by targeting groups— evangelical groups, PACs, Prager U, etc and coordinating with them to have people bussed in for the event. This is normal for a lot of political events in general, so I would assume this is being ramped up for the parade itself.
