Russia pays me $1,000 for every post...


All kidding aside, who really thinks anyone here is paid? Sign me up!

Of course, there are paid trolls on CD. Banjo Mike said it best. They appear around election time, tag-team, it's 16-24 hour coverage. Provocative, repetitive whack-a-mole threads and posts no matter how often debunked, intentionally missing the point. I have a huge ignore list, populated heavily with paid posters no longer active.

But there are plenty of current paid posters around, too, with 30 or more posts a day - defending the buffoon Trump who just can't help shooting himself in the foot every single day. These guys have a job as long as Trump says in office - which I regret to say will be for the duration. Country had the misfortune to elect an inept, morally bereft, evil corrupt fool - who was born lucky. Nothin's gonna happen to him.

Nice gig.

I wouldn't do it just for the money, but I'd love to get paid for doing what I do anyway.

I don't know that I write well enough that anyone would pay me to post. I try, but I know there are a lot better writers than I am.

I find it hard to believe that anyone would think that Republicans would pay someone to post. I get that Soros would pay but I cannot believe the Koch brothers would do the same. Maybe I am wrong about fools and their money though. But my mind is not influenced by idiots posting on a forum.

Hey- if anything changes a few minds, it works.

I'm sure paid posting is a lot cheaper than blanket TV ads in major cities, and a forum like this one gets millions of daily readers who never post at all. It's as good a political tool as any, for sure. For all parties and/or candidates.

True. But I guess when I think of paid posters it is idiots spouting nonsense rather than people trying to change minds with reason.
