Soros Prepares For Trump War

Therefore, at this year’s meeting, Soros and other liberal leaders — including Nancy Pelosi, Elizabeth Warren and Keith Ellison — will discuss opposing Trump’s plan for his first 100 days in office, a plan the DA called “a terrifying assault on President Obama’s achievements, and our progressive vision for an equitable and just nation.”


Keith Ellison... being lifted up for the DNC chair in meetings w/ Soros... sounds like business as usual.

A few things about this. First, there's no damn thing that can be done to change the outcome of the election so that Hillary is in office. Nothing. Big waste of time.

The second thing is, that once Trump is in office, these people interfering with traffic WILL be arrested, and I doubt they'll continue their antics.

And finally, it took people who were completely disgusted and outraged to shake things up in Washington by voting in Trump. These shills can peacefully protest all they want, but if they start interfering with progress in Washington, they'll be swatting at a hornet's nest.

I know about 6 protesters personally, 2 of whom are just gay guys from NYC who are afraid that any gains they've made in equal recognition will be wiped away by Pence and the right wing nut jobs using Trumps electoral win/popular vote loss as a "mandate" to push back the clock. The others are a mixture of social justice warriors and a few people who just think Trump is a jerk. They all have jobs, one of them is in the 1%. Not a single one is getting paid to protest.

So, fools of the right wing media machine, you're being had.

Paid protestors are real... from that "right wing media machine" known as ABC News...

Actually its the two gay guys who are being had, since Trump has said again and again that he does not oppose gay marriage and is in favor of LGBT rights. Probably the only "Republican" who has ever said such a thing.

In fact, he stated in the 60 Minutes interview last night that he has no interest in trying to change what the Supreme Court has already decided when it comes to same sex marriage.

They are aware of that, but people like Mike Pence and Ted Cruz see this as an opportunity to see the opposite happen. the overreaching will be extensive.

You know, because he was weak, ineffective, and couldn't get anything done.

Hannity is SUCH a doosh.

Interesting. CL ads offering pay for protest (& fighting!?). & some of this is pay with benefits? (so they won't be stuck with Obamacare).

Lots of photo pics (so the Gov. can determine the employees), & the Gov. will have the advertisements from CL (thus identifying the employers).

I sure hope (for this underground industry) that the W9s, the W2s & 1099s all match up. These guys can jack around with the Republican party....but they probably shouldn't try to stiff the IRS.

There have always been "paid" protestors. This is especially the case when an organization is involved in a protest.

FYI - Martin Luther King Jr was a paid protester....

So was Rosa Parks and a host of other CRM protestors. All of them were trained or compensated in some way. Not sure why the right wing makes a big deal about this. Right wing groups also have "coordinators" who get paid.

ETA: Not all were paid, but a small minority usually are. Similar to how the political parties pay their "volunteers" to call people and knock on doors sometimes and round up people for rallies.
