Literally the only people paid to be there are the people Trump sent illegally, the cops, and the media.

Always with the paid protesteraccusations, never instructions on where to sign up to get paid.

He's a narcissist. His brain is incapable of processing the idea that his actions can result in people hating him.

For real. Where can I put cash in to make it easier for other people to protest?

I could tell you there are certain areas of Los Angeles that you could have called it an insurrection.

He's just priming the media for when he wants to invoke the insurrection act. He's got to test out that word and see what the response is. If he can get the media talking about it on his terms, he's won.

This. His goal is to spill as much American blood as he possibly can. It’s what he wants for his birthday; American blood on his hands, hell enough for him to bathe in, so he can feel like a big-boy dictator killing women and children. That speech at Bragg was him trying to prime the military, and he was talking about sending in strafing runs to kill American children.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure ICE are paid

[-] [email protected] 26 points 4 days ago

Projection as usual.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago

Funny how every time there are more people against them than they'd like, suddenly everyone showing up was either "bussed in" or was "paid to be there" - anything to delegitimize the numbers.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago

Well yea, he’s probably paying people to start violence and looting. Just like he did in Portland

[-] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago

That didn't take long.

I 100% believe Proud Boy insurrectionists are part of these protests, sure. Whether or not Donny boy had to pay them when most of them would drop trou and bend over for him without hesitation, I'm not too sure.

Does he not look batshit insane to everyone?

I don’t think his eyes have been white since the 1990s.

And here I’ve been protesting for free like a chump.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

So how are the different than the national guard then? Do they not realize they are breaking the covenant they signed to appease a self styled king who ignores the rule of the land?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

Projection. Remember they're not that creative. It is all projection.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

Yeah, that's the military's job.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

Who's paying them? Can't you stop the source of the money? Trump is incapable of stopping actual terror and wants to instead blame others for his inability. Trump is a clueless failure who always chickens out.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

He thought it should be free.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

Well if they where paid maybe they where paid by musk but I'm crazy so don't listen to me

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

So, mercenaries? Because that's what those would be called.
