I mean who the frick has time for all of this protesting shite if they are not getting paid.
You don't get days off from work? Vacation/PTO time?
wrong question. You should ask him if he ever believed in anything to stand up for.
Good chance he hasn't. This is what the Right will never understand. Somethings people care enough about to get off their asses and voice their opinion. Those here just crouch behind a computer and spout "they are being paid" bullshite. which to the topic is bullshite fake news at its best. They can't understand someone will stand out and voice their opinion so they MUST be getting paid for it.
small-minded

Some of them are paid. I'm certain we will likely never know how many, but ads on Craigslist would suggest some level of volume. Now you seem to want to make a weaker argument about what "significant" entails. You know that's subjective and therefore it's an argument you can't really lose.
What Spicer said was right. The media and dems position seems to be that it isn't happening. We know that is factually incorrect.

It is not the fact that they do not understand the protests as such just the added violence and those involved in that violence.

If they admitted they were paid, maybe the IRS would want the 1099's and W-2's (to verify against tax returns only, of course)

Would Soros owe some tax dollars then?

The implication is that there's not a signifigant number of people who are deeply troubled by Trump's moves so far, it's just a Soros conspiracy. That's a ridiculous position to have IMO.

I have a full time job, where I am held accountable for my performance. And I also have a family to take care of. So yes, I don't have time to protest because I have put my family and my job ahead of finding places to protest. This is the silent majority that elected Trump. It's not that we don't believe in anything, we are busy with our jobs and our families, and I'm sure it's hard for the left to understand that concept.

You already know. Scott Foval admitted on camera that there were paid protesters at Trump rallies. They were paid to start fights, dress up like a duck, etc. We've seen footage of dem staffers at conservative rallies and protests being overtly racist. There were paid protesters flown into Fergusen. They plant their people at town halls, campaign events, etc...
It's all out there for those with an open mind, but you'll never be convinced because you don't want to be.

bullshite. A paid lackey started a fight at a Trump rally and lied about being attacked.
It carried the news cycle for a week, and colored public opinion. She was later exposed on hidden camera and no one in the MSM touched it.
Then there was the black church, the hijab lady, and so on. All it takes is a few tactical moves to sway public opinion. If so many people genuinely hate Trump, why are these tactics being used?

it would get pretty expensive, there were what 3M protesters for the women's march. If you paid a 1/3 $50 to be there, that would be $50M. frick that is a lot.
I am sure there are paid protesters, I know anti choice groups employ them. But at $15-20/hr, it gets real expensive really fast.

Well the 150 or so that showed up on the college campus in California last week all dressed in identical black uniforms, and sporting typical weapons, bats, pipes etc.was certainly funded and coordinated by someone.

The problem with these conspiracy theories is that there are far too many people involved for a successful conspiracy.
There were millions of people on the street in numerous cities across the country. If checks were handed out, they would be proudly displayed on social media everywhere. You can't convince millions of people to all keep quiet about something like that. It would be an impossible conspiracy.
Now you may find some financing for the dudes with the matching black outfits whose only purpose is to cause a disturbance. They are a small enough group to successfully pull off a conspiracy. It is clear that they have coordination and planning. They may be paid. The question then is, who pays them? They don't in any way help the liberal marching movement, so that is not their likely source of funding. We may ultimately find out, maybe not, but that would be interesting to know.

Wikileaks has already exposed the lie
This is but one source where the organized protestor's have been exposed.
