Ads in two dozen cities offer protesters up to $2,500 to agitate at Trump inaugural
2017-01-18
[WASHINGTONTIMES] Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
may have a point about paid protesters: Job ads running in more than 20 cities offer $2,500 per month for agitators to demonstrate at this week’s presidential inauguration events.

Demand Protest, a the Socialist paradise of San Francisco
...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964...
company that bills itself as the "largest private grassroots support organization in the United States," posted identical ads Jan. 12 in multiple cities on Backpage.com seeking "operatives."

"Get paid fighting against Trump!" says the ad.

"We pay people already politically motivated to fight for the things they believe. You were going to take action anyways, why not do so with us!" the ad continues. "We are currently seeking operatives to help send a strong message at upcoming inauguration protests."

The job offers a monthly retainer of $2,500 plus "our standard per-event pay of $50/hr, as long as you participate in at least 6 events a year," as well as health, vision and dental insurance for full-time operatives.

Mr. Trump has complained about paid activists both before and after the 2016 presidential campaign, but if anti-Trump advocacy groups are juicing their crowds with hired help, nobody’s admitting it.

#10  Tucker Exposes Hoax Group Claiming to Pay Protesters at Trump Inauguration

"The man, who could not produce identification to the Fox News Los Angeles bureau, said his name was "Dom Tullipso"
[note that the "l's" are silent!] and said he runs "Demand Protest", which allegedly pays individuals to protest at events."

#5  Guys, see Tucker Carlson's interview of the leader last night.

This guy has trolled all the major MSM about these ads. He and Tucker were having quite the laughfest by the end of the interview.

#4  If they have not found the ring leaders before the event, Rantburgers know what is going on and gave you means for all the prevention you need.

#3  Now if everybody applied for this, and then just sat there and didn't participate, who would know? They'd still have to pay you.

#2  Is 2500$ really worth meeting some cops frustrated by being forbidden to do their job for the last 8 years?

#1  Undercover police or FBI should immediately solicit recruitment. Funding sources should be easy enough to identify from the inside.
