Wrong. Your above post makes absolutely no sense. Again, a drive-by remark with no purpose or meaning. Apparently the topic touches a nerve with some liberals, so it must have some truth.


The earlier post presents information about liberal power mongers meeting behind closed doors in DC to prevent Trump from being inaugurated. THEY are perpetuating the disorder following the election. Not the Trump voters. If George Soros, Elizabeth Warren, and other liberal big wigs have been conspiring to keep Trump out of the White House, they'll be the ones who have violated the laws of the United States. They do not appear to have any legal authority to prevent Trump from becoming the next president.

Distinct pattern: Mention George Soros, socialism, and 'hired protestors' and as if on cue a person who rarely posts pops up to deflect and dismiss the information with a poorly written post. Hope they aren't paying these posters much. They seem to contribute no information--just vague spin and scoffing. The haughty dismissal is why the liberals lost. But they still don't seem to understand.

More perspective that most news sources have not been willing to admit:

Many liberal politicians want Americans to remain unaware of their roles in manipulating the situation to advance their cause and prevent Trump from becoming president. That's why Obama and Clinton are remaining silent about the protesters.

Because a poster here requested links to information, here is this thread:

//www.city-data.com/forum/elect...rump-take.html

Americans are becoming more aware of who is behind Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren's push for open borders. It's time for the news media to buckle down and do some serious investigative reporting. Journalism used to be better than placing drivel in headlines like "Kim K and Katy Perry support Hillary!"

It is only fair that the public should not be forced to pick up the tab. It is one thing to stand for 'free speech'; it is another thing to consider public safety aspects and cost to all Americans (like yelling "fire" in the movie theater).
Individuals and/or groups are already subject to criminal charges when they commit crimes in regards to destroying property, vandalism, and inciting riots.

These protesters are being hired by liberal organizations for the express purpose of creating disorder and cause unrest. Anyone who claims otherwise is in denial of the reality of the situation and wants to deflect readers away from the truth.

$18/hour? Not bad. But you had better fit their criteria! These groups aren't racists or bigots, surely. Hiring based solely on race is OK if it's Open Society Foundation, Planned Parenthood affiliates, etc.
Where in their job descriptions do they break the law and say they are only hiring a specific race or gender?

However, I will note that non-profits are allowed to not be subject to EEOC regulations regarding religion. I personally was denied a job at a non-profit before because I am not a Christian. I consulted a lawyer and was informed that religious, non-profit organizations are not subject to these laws.

On PP, I know people who work for them who are various races and genders. They do not discriminate in hiring. Most of the people who work for them do so because they admire that organization and what they stand for in regards to women's right to choose. I would not be surprised if a PP funded local organization was marching to "Stop Trump" and hiring organizers for this effort due to the fact that Trump has stated he will fill SCOTUS seats with judges who are anti-abortion and seeking to overturn Roe v Wade. Honestly, that is an issue I feel is a good one to protest about in a non-violent way. I personally am looking into supporting our local "choice" organizations due to the election of Trump to see what we can do to ensure women's rights are not violated.

The majority of protesters are "regular".
The problem is it takes very few to make a protest into a riot. Those few are in these protests.

The best way to stop protestors is the weather

Winter rain, hail and snow in places such as Portland or NYC will help stop disorder. As no one wants to be standing out in the freezing cold rain.

There is a link between weather and disorder, indeed the more rain the less disorder.

Few things can dampen a rioter’s spirit more than a soaking rain, they learned. After two days of rioting in Miami in the summer of 1968 were finally quelled by rain, they write, the Dade County sheriff joked to The New York Times that he had ordered his off-duty officers to pray for more rain.

"The majority of protesters are "regular"."

And a large % of them in Portland didn't even vote so, what are they protesting?

If they care this much the least they should have done is vote.
