N.O. needs money; this isn't too surprising to me.

Remarkable story. As usual, the public got conned. But Trump has led the way on this kind of slimy "Crowds on Demand" kind of thing right from his very first "announcement" speech. He endorses it as a means of convincing the gullible media that he has supporters. How do the people who do this kind of thing, whether for the $60 or the $200, sleep at night? I guess they're just happy they get to eat at night. Yes, some will do anything for a few bucks.

This was not the first action like this with paid actors. It was inevitable that this kind of thing would happen considering they have legalized propaganda and also considering the people who want to control this country and the insane amounts of money they have to do it.

How irritating.

These 'actors' are performing seals who are only helping to destroy the same environment they also live in.

I can't imagine what it must be like, to be so empty headed as to clap on demand.

I might guess that these "actors" just see it as playing a paid part in a production and a furtherance of their acting careers. Twisted, I know, but how else could they sleep at night? Interesting that the crowd provider gave them a lopsided "choice" of which side to represent and the part to play within each. Interesting moral dilemma for an unemployed person. So glad to see this article and understand how that slimy business works.
