Just what exactly are these mysterious forces paying for? The cardboard the kids are sleeping on? Are they paying the thousands of people to show up at what--900 sites now around the country? Are they coming to their houses and offering them bribes to show up? Are they hiring buses to bring people in? Are they paying for their lodging? Are they renting big spaces and equipment for the protests? Adbusters initially put out a notice online asking people to show up at the first protest, and less than 100 kids were there early on--that's paying for it? This thing has grown into a monster because people are ticked off--no one has to be 'behind" them showing up.

The whole premise of this thread is silly.

They already have--some TP people (from the American spectator, I think?) admit that they were leading the charge to go into the Air and Space Museum during the DC protests because they wanted to encourage people to defy the police to make the protesters look bad. They were also dumb enough to brag about it.

Nonsense.

Oh, 900 cities around the country?

I think not, but you go ahead and believe what the MSM is shoveling for you.

I think their were 53 in DC and 11 in SF. Wow! Colossal!
