So, what did we learn?
Protesters were paid to protest. Funny, no one sent me a check.
Abortion rights will go back to the states. That means a lot of road trips and the purchasing of bus tickets. Better start saving those dimes ladies.
Marriage equality is a settled deal. Well, Donald might want to tell that to his cabinet members Ben Carson and Mike Pence. Both would also love to return marriage back to the states.
Or better yet, just amend the US constitution.
And then we have Obamacare. That will be repealed and replaced minutes apart.
Not hours, not days, not weeks or not years apart, but within seconds apart.
The only hitch.... not one republican in congress or within Trump's circle have proven that any replacement plan even exists.
So we just have to trust them.
Just like the Jews trusted Hitler.

And Trump isn't about to shut down his twitter accounts anytime soon.
After all, "tweeting is a great way to communicate. And I have several million followers."
So, I guess that means some 20 - 25 million people will get early notice the missiles have been launched.
Twitter anyone?
Early notice might make the difference between full on nuclear blast to the face, or a slow simmering under the basement stairs.
Gee mom, do I smell skin for dinner?

And I learned something I didn't know.
Donald Trump and wife Melania sitting there together looked like some blind date computer mismatch.
If Donald had once tried to glance affectionately at Melania, I could see her slapping Donald's face.
Or maybe she would use one of those defensive tactical moves women learn from self defense class?
I had to wonder, do these two people even know each other?
I really doubt it.
I think that kid was smuggled into the country inside the same box as Melania.
America did not elect a new first family into the Whitehouse, they elected The Addams Family.

Oh boy America..... here you go.
And good luck with what you have done.
You'll need it. Luck that is.
A lot of luck.
Really YUGE amounts of luck.

Great interview of our new first family. I support and respect the office of the President of the United States, once again.

Trump will be glad to give every U.S. citizen a free pair of his flip flops

Really is a dim witted guy. Speaks poorly and doesn't seem able to think on his feet in the moment. He probably has to surround himself with people who can work it out to get anything done and that will be the crux of how it goes for the dullard. Unfortunate when your hope is that your leader doesn't use any of their ideas, goes back on the crazy ideas they have floated and were lying about things. Supposed to be the face of the US on the world stage; a loud mouth halfwit and his mail order imported trophy bride with the worked on face. Sad!

Obama may not have been the preferred but you should always respect the office.

And not for nothing, he got bin Laden, and if you're not an idiot you should have made a bunch of money in the market while he was President.

Looks like he was well coached and prepped for the interview.

Let the political games begin.

Wow some of you guys are bitter. This sounds like a personal problem. Focus on yourselves before spending more time on politics. You guys have some serious issues.

You are the worst kind of American if you are protesting a lawful election of your own free will. Most of the protesters were paid.

Here is some interesting investigation:

Abortion rights will go back to the states. That means a lot of road trips and the purchasing of bus tickets. Better start saving those dimes ladies.

I'm not exactly pro-life myself, but this is such a stupid thing to complain about. If you live in a state where laws on the books make abortion illegal, fight to change those laws or fucking move. Protesting and rioting in the streets should be an absolute last resort.

Marriage equality is a settled deal. Well, Donald might want to tell that to his cabinet members Ben Carson and Mike Pence. Both would also love to return marriage back to the states.

Who cares? They can want whatever they want, they don't have the power here.

Or better yet, just amend the US constitution.

Welcome to every single election, ever. There has NEVER been a requirement that elected presidents or senators or anyone else actually follows through with their campaign promises. Now, I hope Trump does follow through and do everything he said he would, but criticizing him because "he might not" is just idiotic.

Just like the Jews trusted Hitler.

You just lost the argument.

So people can't express their opinions as they are allowed to do under the 1st Amendment? Any real evidence that they are paid beyond some thread from the echo chamber?

Several times throughout the evening, projectiles such as road flares and bottles were thrown at police officers.

That isn't speech.

'several times' out of how many thousands of people? A few people behaving poorly does nothing to affect the free speech rights of everyone else. Also, if you think most protesters were paid you're living in a fantasy world.

Protesting things you find to be wrong is one of the most American and patriotic things anyone can do. We should all be able to agree on that.

Maybe instead of embarrassing yourself acting like an angry, angsty teen because he didn't get what he wants, you should take Trump's display of opulence as a sign that if you work hard (and smart) you can achieve that level of wealth in the land of opportunity.

You must have missed where Trump is so overwhelmingly popular with the entire country that opposition has to be manufactured against him by Soros, Hollywood liberals, and the Pentaverate.

..he'll screw you over when it comes to paying, and buy gold furniture for himself.

Chiropteran, did you even read the things you linked to? Literally zero of them refer to paid protesters, they refer to paid positions in advocacy organizations, which is...well... completely normal.

Do you think that employees of the NRA are 'paid protesters'? Because that's literally the exact same thing as you're claiming here.

What he mentioned isn't lawful speech. I've missed any argument stating otherwise, but burning and the like needs to be as strongly condemned as proper free speech encouraged.

But people ALWAYS condemn violence. This playbook is as old as protests themselves. When confronted with people protesting against something, the people who oppose that protest will look for individuals who engage in violence or other criminal activity and then attempt to force the conversation to that instead of the issue at hand.

Are there people engaging in criminal activity at these? Undoubtedly. Does that change the message of those protesting? Not in the slightest.

It looks like crazy shit from reddit or some nutbag right wing site. Slap some screenshots together, post a few fake ads to make a story and away you go. The zombie portion of Trump's support base regularly goes back to the hivemind to recharge on crazy conspiracies and then go out into the wilds of the internet to try and spread the madness. #maga #mybrainisaswamp #wikileaks #spiritcooking #herpderpherpityderpderp

lol, hard work. he won the genetic lottery. do you honestly, I mean honestly think he'd be as 'successful' as he is now (which is still up for debate, tax returns anyone?) without being born into the family he was? Do you really think he'd be married to these 'beautiful' women without his star power and supposed monetary status?
Feel free to delude yourself, I will choose reality.

No but really, look at the ads. They are positions for nonprofits and advocacy organizations, which are totally normal job ads that are there at all times for all presidents. It has nothing to do with paid protesting.
