During Friday’s episode of The Paul Allen Show on Twin Cities radio station KFAN, Allen, Chad Greenway, and Alec Lewis opened the show discussing the intense cold weather in the region. One person mentioned the recent story about a Los Angeles Rams player putting cayenne in his socks to stay warm, and Allen mentioned the urban legend about trees “exploding” from cold weather.
Umprompted, Allen then interjected by asking, “In conditions like this, do paid protesters get hazard pay? Those are the things that I’ve been thinking about this morning.”
A few minutes later, the conversation switched to football, and Allen once again worked a paid-protester reference into a discussion about NFL coaching hires.
“Everybody’s catching strays this week. [Brian] Flores, Kevin Stefanski from Baker [Mayfield], Charlie ‘Biyatch’ caught one out of nowhere. They’re just all over, paid protesters caught one this morning,” he said, referencing his earlier comments.
Wtf is wrong with these people
I have a theory that covid fucked the brains of people up bad. Mental decline has been pretty drastic ever since covid.
shit has been going on alot longer than 4-5 years, you were just more isolated from their stupidity because they were less emboldened.
people have a way of taking off their masks when republicans come to power, personally i prefer this to the faux-civility of establishment democrats.
Most of these people were broken before 2019
there is documented neurological damage associated with COVID-19. additionally, not engaging with social activities reduces brain function. plus we have 23 years of teaching to tests instead of teaching to teach. we are in a perfect storm of bullshit to enable disconnected misanthropes to take over
Man, it would be so easy to show proof of this if it happened.
But Musk paying millions for votes (in a “lottery”) is a-ok though.
As was bussing Trump supporters to DC for the January 6th riots.
And bussing supporters and political operatives to Florida for the Brooks Brothers riot that stopped a vote recount and essentially handed Republicans the presidency in 2000.
They’ve been refining these tactics - while baselessly accusing their opponents of using them - for decades. The “victory at any cost” mentality took over because its adherents kept winning due to nobody prosecuting them for their blatant crimes.
It’s all projection. They need to do it to win, so they assume everyone else is doing it
If protesters were paid, I’d be one of the 1%. I’ve been boycotting Nestle for DECADES.
Not that they can come to logical conclusions, but have they ever considered who is supposedly paying them if all the billionaires and corporations are supporting Trump and the fascist government?
It’s all valid projection. The Jan 6 folks had free bussing and likely many were paid. Republicans are trained to accuse others of the very things they do. The criminals don’t worry now that the commander in crime and pedophilia has their backs.
I was browsing conservative accounts on X with xcancel and other nitter instances yesterday to get a feeling on their reaction about the attacks on the 2nd amendment. What shocked me the most was how many of them had questionable content of underage girls in their feeds, it’s really disgusting and actually explains why they don’t have a problem with Trump being a rapist and pedophile.
Something something George Soros.
Same. And the hatred still burns bright white and hot
Patrick Bateman knew how to deal with this guy.
Where does one apply to be paid to protest? With the number of Americans living paycheck to paycheck I would love to be able to direct them to a resource that will provide them some support while they stand up to tyranny.
Trees exploding in the cold isn’t an urban myth. I’ve heard it, and seen the aftermath. It’s gotta be really cold. Like -40 cold, but ya fact, not myth.
Also fuck this guy and his paid protester narrative. I’m so over fascism. Shit it is just getting tedious…
I think the urban myth part was some of the photos being shared that showed very dramatic results. There was one right here on lemmy that someone posted from the wikipedia page on exploding trees without bothering to read its caption - it that had been destroyed by a lightning strike.
He’s a Nazi, an idiot, or both.
Just another dickhead.
