Think those Trump protests are spontaneous...guess again"

As our reader notes, "I have a video of 5 city blocks on the West side of Chicago lined with busses from Wisconsin (Badger Bus Lines) bringing in protestors. The Sears tower is visible in the background."

The video was taken at 3:30pm on South Canal Street in Chicago on Saturday. As our reader points out, hundreds of the participants that took part in the downtown Chicago protests from November 12 were bused in using these vehicles. Other arrived by train.

TC used to say how the Koch bros. were organizing the Tea Party protests but I don't remember seeing videos of them being bussed in. Here the Trump protestors clearly are.

I don't know about the case above, but A LOT of this "fake or paid protesters" meme going around months ago was definitely created by Trump supporter and former Nixon aide, Roger Stone. I wouldn't be surprised if that youtube you posted was also a Roger Stone creation woody. But that's neither here nor there anymore, because we now have to live with Herr Trump in power. Hail Trump!

By the way woody, how's it going with all those Trump campaign promises that he's now reneging on, like prosecuting Hillary (not), or building the wall to end all walls (more of a fence), or bringing back waterboarding and torture (not) or draining the swamp (hiring a lot of Washington insiders) or repealing Obamacare (mmmm, some parts are good)?

Oh, and I see he's also not taking nation security very seriously either, by ignoring most of those daily briefings, unlike the last 3 president elects who taken a serious interest in the job they will soon take.

“The last three presidents-elect used the intelligence briefings offered during the transition to literally study the national security issues that they would be facing and the world leaders with whom they would be interacting as president.”

No argument with my reply I see.

No argument with my reply I see.

if you note my join date, you'll see that I came after the bulk of all Tea Party rallies occurred. I just assumed you were off with your facts, as usual, and saw no need to respond to a false assertion. Carry on.

Yeah, I see after some researching that many of the tea party rallies were infiltrated by lefty agitators as well, especially some of those people carrying the nasty signs. However, one thing that can be laid squarely on the tea party's front door and especially Trump himself is the "Birther Movement". Even though it was "technically" started by an overzealous Hillary supporter, the tea party and then Trump were the one who picked it up and ran with it....and ran with it....and ran with it, ad nausem. Nothing like pushing a big lie trying an make it stick.

By the way speaking of fake news, apparently this video is fake too, although this is only thing I can find that refutes the whole episode. The lefty press was all agog about this Alt Right meeting chanting "Hail Trump!" early in the week. Fake or not?

[callmeslick]

actually those salutes were very real, they occurred in a banquet at the Maggiano's in Chevy Chase, MD. They were on video presented by attendees, and Maggiano's gave the proceeds from the banquet to the JADL

If not fake then staged. I'm trying to remember if the Republican party had a prominent KKK member like the Dems did with Byrd. Funny how different places want to rename building if they were named after a confederate general yet we don't see any of Byrds names being replaced. I guess being reminded of racism is bad until it is a prominent racist Dem's name on a building.

[callmeslick]

nice backpedal, but NO, not 'staged', but the very real grand finale of a planned national conference of some Neo-Nazi umbrella group. I found it heartening that all reports indicate that they got a throng of maybe 200 for a 'national conference', so not exactly scary numbers.

More of Richard Spencer's "actions" for creating a New America. This bastard is thinking of running for Montana's maybe soon-to-be-vacated U.S. House seat too.
