Young socialists say: we don’t need capitalism—innovation thrives without profit.

One points out that the Soviet Union made a mobile phone.

But how many of you are reading this on a socialist-made phone today?

Idiocy from bizarrely popular social media starts here:

[Julia 🇺🇸 @Jules31415]

CNN's Dana Bash isn't thrilled to hear more Democrat failures as Doug Burgum explains how the Trump administration inherited a reflecting pool that was leaking "45,000 gallons of water a day":

"It never worked...When we took this project over, it was leaking 45,000 gallons of water a day, 16 million gallons a year because the thing never worked. And they spent more money and it was closed for 2 years. So everybody should be celebrating President Trump getting a project done in 1/10th the time—so 10x faster—at a fraction of the cost of the previous administration."

TDS prevents the left from celebrating ANYTHING Trump does.

Proud to attend the Jewish American Heritage celebration tonight at Terrace Hill.

[U.S. Senator John Fetterman @SenFettermanPA]

Stop this henpecking.

$13M? This is an iconic American place and was in serious disrepair.

Get over the TDS and celebrate this is getting done for our 250th. 🇺🇸

California would be better served to invest in nuclear power and desalination plants. It would be more reliable for California and better for the Colorado river too.

[Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor]

While the Trump Administration tears down clean energy in favor of fossil fuels, California is activating a pilot project for the nation’s first solar-covered canal.

We're investing in new technologies to find more solutions for lowering costs, saving water, and preparing for a hotter, drier future.

🚨 WOW. Border Czar Tom Homan just gave the PERFECT response to Pope Leo

"I'm a lifelong Catholic. I wish they'd STAY OUT of immigration, they don't know what they're talking about."

"Because if they wore my shoes for 40 years, and talked to a 9-year-old girl that got r*ped multiple times, or stood in the back of a tractor trailer with 19 dead aliens at my feet, including a 5-year-old boy that baked to death, if they understood the atrocities that happened on the open border, I think their opinion would change!"

"And I welcome discussion with any of them, because they don't understand illegal immigration is not a victimless crime."

"Where President Trump had the most secure border in the lifetime of this nation, right now, lives are being saved. He's saving thousands of lives a year because he has a secure border!"

"Human traffickers are out of business, right? The cartels are going bankrupt because of that secure border. I wish they'd understand that."

"Because if they did, I think they'd have a different opinion."

Mic drop.
