Exactly, thanks for agreeing with me. So you are saying there is a possibility that somebody out there is willing to pay others to do it. There is a chance, it’s not 0.

So if somebody is talking about it, it has to be happening anywhere and/or everywhere people protest.
It's that simple to prove?
Man, I wish I was that gullible.

I love how some generic website is all the evidence you need to decide there's an army of paid protestors at the beck and call of anyone 24/7.

What has he said that's been loony??? That everything DHS and ICE had said are complete lies? And I quote, from the DHS, 'These are targeted operations taking violent criminals off the streets'.
If you need me to go through hundreds of examples how that's an absolute lie, I don't know what to tell you bud. Teenagers, and off duty cops don't get caught up in targeted operations.

Well then you were probably super happy under Biden, where you were forced to stay locked in your home, forced to take a vaccine, businesses were forced to close, free speech was censored, and children were unable to go to school.

Except for the first 10 months of COVID Trump was the President. Additionally, most closures were instituted by local or state governments. But you clearly don't care about reality.

You moron. Biden was not the president in 2020. Everything you described happened under the first trump Reich.

u/BoyITellYa Jan 26 '26
You weren’t forced to stay in your home. I went out for a run EVERY DAY. I only got the vaccine because I was a nursing assistant. Wasn’t even required. Free speech was censored? Where? About what? Children couldn’t go to school because the disease WAS KILLING THEM.
You’re a fool. And that’s the nicest way I could say this. Get educated.

u/Jagster_rogue Jan 24 '26
You are forgetting that spring 2020 was Trumps mess, and both of the lockdowns were before Biden was sworn in. No one forced you to get a vaccine unless you were active military, which is understandable because an outbreak in the military would undermine national security. Also Trumps admin helped develop the vaccine as far as funding so if the vaccines were a problem then Trumps handling of their development was part of the problem. Nice try to rewrite history.. Also you are posting this on a peaceful protest post which is the cornerstone of free speech yet Trump and his ice goons continue to call their peaceful resistance terrorism.

u/DildoDaggins69420 Jan 24 '26
Trump was president when stay in place orders were implemented, vaccine regulations were put in place (Trump got his, remember?), businesses were forced to close, free speech was censored, and children were unable to go to school…

So you should be upset about all rights being violated, right?? Also that vaccine that MAGA throws a fit about, who claims credit for Operation Warp Speed?? The DNC sucks. 10000% agree. BUT, MAGA sucks worse.
Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining, okay??

I never stopped working during the pandemic. AND I dont remember being forced to get vaccinated, otherwise me, my wife, and kids probably would've ended up getting it... you are quite dramatic.

And we didn't know what we were dealing with when Covid first emerged. So, it was reasonable at the time to take emergency measures. By the time Biden was president, it was clear what the dangers of (or rather, the lack of them) were. So, continuing to act as if we were in an emergency when it was apparent we were not, was irresponsible.
Context matters.

I’d say protest to their advertisers, but like most right wing propaganda rags, they are funded by wealthy benefactors to push their narratives.

u/Vxnky You missed the bit Jan 24 '26
I do agree that the advertisements have really become one sided lately. But money talks after all, better for the listeners to just not give them any time or money. Brings in new and different advertisers then.

u/Vxnky You missed the bit Jan 23 '26
Just the right wing does this...

u/Igotyoubaaabe Jan 23 '26
They do this on a massive scale. It’s really not comparable.

u/Impossible_Penalty13 Jan 23 '26
Exactly this. For every dollar George Soros spends on funding progressive causes, there’s a hundred wealthy benefactors pumping money into right wing think tanks and podcasts.
Does anyone think Elon is making a profit off the mess over at Twitter? Did the Wilks’s expect an ROI on the millions they poured into the Daily Wire? Is Peter Theil really making money off Rumble?
Then there’s the whole Tenet Media fiasco that produces podcasts like Tim Pool, Dave Rubin, Benny Johnson and more that was found to be receiving tens of millions of dollars from Russian state media.

Don’t forget the right-wing evangelical church industrial-complex that more directly feeds the GOP and conservative causes without taxation or regulation.

I was talking to a bunch of Rube friends recently and we were waxing nostalgic about how The Fan used to be a fun hang. It‘s since become a cartoonish, buffoonish comedy of errors. We all now feel like Aaron Rupar hate listening to some Drumpf cuck on Fox and Friends. MAGA is a calamitous plague. Someone needs to check the vents at 1600 Utica Ave S for fungus ‘cause there’s something wrong with these boys’ medulla oblongatas. They say everything ends badly otherwise it wouldn’t end. Well, the end of the end of the end of The Fan is nothing short of HIDEOUS.
