What's worse?  Tough call.  She gets paid a little money, but she needs to attend events live and blow a kazoo in an interviewer's face.

The Lefties here get to post from the comfort of their mom's basement.  But they type things like "it's the Republicans' fault the Democrats voted to shut down the government."  That can't be easy either.

I watched the video through. Either they’re making assumptions that this person is being paid or I missed what evidence they have that she is. 

:dunno:

You didn't miss it because they don't have any evidence.

When she stuttered and had to think when asked "Who are you with" :doh:  She was seen at 30 different protests. Think she just enjoys them?

Yeah, I think some people do go to a lot of protests. I have a family member who seems to do a march or protest monthly.

Reality is always easy. And it helps when the public agrees with you:

Do they have monthly licensing for being a monthly priest?

The public agrees because the MSM tells them what to think.  You see it in the marching orders that folks like Gutter follow.  You got it initially, but now you don't.

Fox News! The same as the entire MSM infrastructure! :lol:

Maybe you'll get NPR funding back in the negotiations.  They are unbiased as well. 👍

No. Initially I thought the public would blame the Democrats (and I’m still surprised that they don’t.) But that’s because (a) whichever side makes a demand in shutdown situations is usually blamed and (b) Republicans are better at messaging. That’s why I urged the Dems not to do this. But that doesn’t mean I thought they were in the wrong. I didn’t and still don’t.

Definitely. It's almost as prevalent as trans women playing in girl's sports, and no less of a threat.

unfortunately, everyone makes assumptions in life. I would say that, at least in this case, they have done enough DD to surmise that she may be paid. The amount of protests she attends, coupled with the fact that she posts all of them to her social media which looks like an audition portfolio, the company who looks for people to join their protests, and the funding page for the protests with donation links. What is the donation money for? I have never had the need to attend a protest but can't people just show up and protest? What costs are associated with protests? Permits? I thought you could request waivers for permit fees.  If the company is reimbursing protesters for travel and signs, etc... then yeah, that would count as being paid.

I get you're being sarcastic but if people can make money to waste their time participating in protests that generally accomplish nothing, good for them. People get paid to pump and bash stocks on financial message boards for focks sake. Good for them. 

Trans women playing in girls sports is absolutely a real issue and no one should be hiding behind "it's so minor"... especially not the people who consider themselves the champions of all minority groups.

I assumed this “journalist” had more to go on than guesswork, seeing as how this is a worthwhile “new story.”

Sure, if you can find someone to pay you to attend protests, good for you, I guess. If one wants to assume that more than a handful of people at any given protest are on a payroll of some kind, then it is they that are "hiding."

Speaking of hiding, that whole "TDS" thing... is Republicans hiding from their own errors, as well as the mirror. What a lovely way to brush aside any and all concerns about his presidency. Everyone that dares criticize him is simply suffering from a media-imposed "malady."

This "champion of all minority groups" is extremely sick of the most pervasive one: MAGA.

okay... I tend to stick to reading my news instead of news shows, but most news shows would air something like this simply on the basis of the woman harassing him at a different protest. They all have their agendas.

But lets get back to the initial question.  You don't have any take on the funding page for rise and resist.org, why they would need a funding page or what those funds would be used for?

Please find the going rate. I would like to decide if I should quit my job to start wearing a vest and protesting

Not familiar with Rise or Resist.org. Unless they’re paying this woman, I don’t see what it has to do with this “news story.”

So what I was trying to say was that if there was actually a large group of protestors being paid by an organization to attend all their protests, I might chuckle, but I would have zero issue with it. .. and my point was that your sarcastic comparison to trans women in womens sports is dumb because that is actually a serious issue and I think it's sad that you're making light of it. 

 

TDS? You may be right in the case of extreme magas.  Although I think acting like TDS is not a real thing would be sticking your head in the sand. Objectively, I have never seen people be so obsessed with being anti any president, spending money on anti-trump paraphernalia, being glued to their echo chamber msm channels, etc. I have a few friends and family members who simply cannot have a regular discussion about any normal topic without finding a way to interject something about trump.  That is the TDS that I see most often.
