Osama Bin Laden didn't fly planes into the World Trade Center himself. He got his followers worked into a frenzy and they did it for him, @realDonaldTrump.

(17,988 posts)Those girls are the same ones in his last rally. I first noticed the blonde,red cap, long hair.
And, always one black man.

(14,961 posts)with my own eyes in our local Craigslist, them offering money for people to attend when he did the rally in Melbourne Fl., the night of the WH Correspondents dinner, in 2017. Since then, I've seen many of these ads on Twitter and here.

(3,818 posts)There were a lot of stories about his followers - remember the clapping at the CIA on his first day, supposed to have been his entourage supporting him.
What's funny is the campaign didn't pay the rent-a-crowd business until a FEC complaint was filed. Until payment, it was considered a campaign contribution.
As always, YMMV

What a way to make a living, huh?

(779 posts)I have already sent an email to Mark Walker (NC) telling him that he is empowering hate and one day the haters are likely to kill someone. Walker is my NC representative, the son of a Baptist pastor, they are very self righteous. I remember when they went around saying dems will kill babies (because of birth control and abortion)
What a load of hypocrites.

(17,988 posts)Who left a Southern Baptist Church a couple of years ago for blatant telling us who to vote for and an email from the Prayer Chain, of all things comparing Trump to Churchill. That person got a return email from me. She could not look me in the eye the next time she saw me.
They have thrown out the old, corrupt child molesters in their Convention but much too late for me because the same people remain in that Church. Bigoted Trump lovers.
It is clear Trump is hiring people. 3 of the blonde girls in the middle.

(8,797 posts)Vote fraud, suppression, destroying votes, the list goes on and on. Mark Meadows, Tillis, Walker and so many others represent the TRUE, dark underbelly (CONway) of this state, but have all the Koch backing, media, (Fox and Rusty Limpballs 24/7 everywhere) to keep these assholes in power forever. Those scum at the rally, are thick in this state. Even worse, very, very wealthy summer home 💰💰💰💰💩💩 Getaway Florida pukes where here over the 4th week to there mansion play homes with trump flags, MAGA hats, Hillary for prison flags celebrating no taxation. Those wealthy trump benefactors love those illiterate rally KKKlanspeople only for the vote to benefit the rich. They would puke if they ever got close to them. We have a real war to defeat this sickness and destruction of democracy. Seeing kids at the KKKlan rally in MAGA hats and chanting right along is sickening. MOST of them will die from cancer from GOP poisoning without health care. But at least they have white power................

(28,272 posts)Think how good trump must feel about yesterday:
1.) An adoring, racist crowd screams their agreement over his filthy treatment of The Squad; and
2.) Yet another attempt to implement a well-deserved impeachment action goes down the toilet.
We're handing this country over to him.

(3,818 posts)of gas-lighting us and enabling him and his party? In it's own way, isn't it worse, getting us all worked up for action (not unlike OFA in its day), pounding the podium, while another day is frittered away, allowing him to get away with our treasury and reputation?
All these dems running for president are a large part of the problem too - they look to the future, while he is using a scorched earth policy TODAY. With AGW, there may not be a tomorrow to vote for. TODAY is what we should be planning for. Just further proof it is all bread and circus'.
