Can someone please explain how the "paid Protester" thing is a gotcha by the right?
Let's pretend it is 100% true. (It's not).
How is this a gotcha?
This is part of the point I was making the other day - combination of fiction and hypocrisy.
The richest man in the world spent, what, a quarter billion, to get Trump elected? (and then got a free auto commercial at the WH?) Fine.
IMAGINE that the blue-haired granny got 5 bucks for holding a "F*** Trump" sign in the cold? TREASON !!!
Yeah. I get the hypocrisy part.
But it’s not illegal to pay people! It’s not wrong even if it were true. Yet you listen to cable news dopes and right wingers pretend they have the most explosive label to frame any protests. And they can’t say protesters without the word paid in front of it.
I guess you just toss it over to the stupidly file of the cult.
A US district court judge in New York has denied Cooper Union’s attempt to dismiss a lawsuit brought by 10 Jewish students, who allege “a hostile educational environment on the basis of their national origin”.
John Cronan, a judge on the US District Court for the Southern District of New York, also ordered the lower Manhattan private college to file an answer to the complaint by Febuary 26.
In a 56-page opinion, Cronan stated that the Jewish students presented “sufficient facts to establish an actionably hostile educational environment based on instances of harassment that are not constitutionally protected.”
The plaintiffs allege “plausibly” that “Jewish students at Cooper Union were subject to antisemitic abuse that was both severe and pervasive based on facts properly considered under Title VI [of the Civil Rights Act] and the First Amendment,” the judge stated.
On October 25, 2023, a little more than two weeks after the Hamas-led terrorist attacks on the Jewish State, anti-Israel protesters screamed “free Palestine” and pounded on a door at a Cooper Union library, as Jewish students, including two wearing kippahs, hid within.
The private university blamed the Jewish students for gathering “in a prominent place in the library where they could be seen by the demonstrators” and for refusing a recommendation to hide “in the windowless upstairs portion of the library out of the demonstrators’ sight,” said the judge.
Cooper Union also faulted them for not escaping “the library through the back exit,” he added.

Please explain how I was wrong. You can't.
And before you comment, I made a typo earlier - I meant lib lawyers. Still, they think it's a valid argument

This publication has a documented history of crying anti-semitism and then shown to be exaggerating. Either you’re Israel first or are so stupid you fall for this nonsense.

Lolz! She was just in the neighborhood and stopped by!
Q: Can you explain Tulsi Gabbard's role in DOJ activity regarding the Fulton County search? BLANCHE: She happened to be present in Atlanta. I saw the same photo you did. She doesn't work for the DOJ or FBI.

Where are the “white lib judges” saying that? The judge said that was the argument made by Cooper Union, dumb dumb. Sounds like bad CYA from a crappy school admin. Poor reading from copy+paste brain rot.
From the nearly released Epstein files (January 30, 2026): "Donald Trump, the president, had parties at Maralago called "calendar girls' Jeffrey Epstein would bring the children in and trump would auction them. He measured the children's vulva and vaginas by entering a finger and rated the children on tightness. The guests were elder men and included Elon Musk. Don jr. Trump, Ivanka Trump and Eric Trump were there. Attorney Allan Dershowitz was also there with Attorney Bob Shapiro. We were taken in rooms, forced to give oral sex to Donald J Trump. Forced to allow them to penitrate us. I was 13 years old when Donald J Trump raped me. Ghislaine Maxwell was also present."
This is part of the point I was making the other day - combination of fiction and hypocrisy.
The richest man in the world spent, what, a quarter billion, to get Trump elected? (and then got a free auto commercial at the WH?) Fine.
IMAGINE that the blue-haired granny got 5 bucks for holding a "F*** Trump" sign in the cold? TREASON !!!
Yeah. I get the hypocrisy part.
But it’s not illegal to pay people! It’s not wrong even if it were true. Yet you listen to cable news dopes and right wingers pretend they have the most explosive label to frame any protests. And they can’t say protesters without the word paid in front of it.
I guess you just toss it over to the stupidly file of the cult.
I guess I wasn’t clear, at least this time, that I meant “fiction” in two ways. Fiction that any meaningful number of people (IF ANY) are being paid, AND fiction that it’s against the law to pay someone to exercise the First Amendment.
But hey, again, paid or not, “AGITATION” is some very serious shi* !!!!
