They are SO scared of the mass display of opposition that they’ll see on Saturday that they’re claiming the protesters will all be paid.

Flop sweat, folks.

They’re not.

Any police officer who vows to quit depending on the results of an election is openly admitting that they are partisan, that they swore an oath but it was conditional, and that they believe the work they do as law enforcement is tied to a particular political party.

All of these are damning.

You can bribe the president with $2,000,000,000 but he'll apparently still do that dipshit Alpha Male move where he suddenly yanks your arm in a handshake.
