Why does that "cheering crowd" outside TT remind me of the Brooks Brothers Riot?

Anyone remember the FLA recount of the Gore/Bush election that was shut down by hired actors or Republican employees posing as a spontaneous group of activists? Of course the "media" bought it hook, line, and sinker.

And didn't I read recently on DU that trump hired actors at some stage during the primaries?

Maybe someone should investigate.

cheering at Trump Tower when I know I clearly heard a lot of booing as well. The media hasn't mentioned the boos at all.

The political system in turmoil, the dictator holed up in his palace, surrounded by bootlickers, and releasing late night videotaped statements.
