They? As in the city? As if it's their responsibility and not the individual's? Like people couldn't carry their own trash back to their own personal bin or along with their signs? They just got sick of carrying it and think, "well ****, they didn't give me a bin, I'll just throw it here and have the city clean it up. All they're fault, they didn't provide enough bins"

Nah, I'm not buying your bull****. And I can't find any evidence of a 'big cleanup' afterwards that wasn't the city doing it rather than the protesters.

Edit: Were you one of them? Like, why are you making **** up to defend people who aren't you? You should scold them from a pedestal like me.

I was one of them and the few pictures floating around from the event shows trash pretty neatly near the bins or signs gathered together in piles. They weren't scattered all over the place. You can tell the difference. I carried my sign and bottles in my bookings. I had to leave early so I wasn't able to volunteer for the clean up that they had afterwards.

Lol. I just looked him up and Parliament had to publish a cease and desist letter on their website telling everyone that he's not a member of the House of Lords and should **** off.

^ Yes, Lucem. It's sensible of you to doubt your source, I think.

Remember this:-

Spoiler for inauguration crowd pics:

Given their descriptions of the inauguration crowds, Trump and his supporters have lost all credibility about reporting on public events. They don't say what they saw, they say what they would like to have seen.
By any chance did your source tell you that it was raining all day because God was sad ?

^ Thanks for exposing what a charlatan this guy is. Here's a list of some of his mis-quotes and falsifications, refuted by various scientists:-

The "snake oil" part is his "cure" for AIDS, MS, Graves' Disease, etc. with some potion he states that he's created.
He keeps filing for a patent (I think 5 or 6 times) and lets the time run out for fee processing so he can say that
he's filed patents for his miracle cure (but nothing comes of them of course).

Not ones I've seen. And every source I've seen says nobody stayed after to clean up. That clean up you keep saying was going to happen keeps reading as something handled by the city rather than the protesters. Prove to me that a clean up happened and the info I got from the Trump supporter is false and I will shut the **** up and use that to harass the Trump supporter.

Maybe the only people concerned with reporting on the cleanliness of the rallies are partisan sources who are more interested in a good gotcha moment espousing the other side's hypocrisy than the environmental effect of these protests.

Just a thought.

The Batlord · 05-02-2017, 01:50 PM

I can't imagine why any source that wasn't partisan would even give the slightest **** about covering garbage duty.

Yeah, I'm not stupid. But at the same time you'd think some offended liberal would have proof that what was reported is being dishonest.

And why it mattered, Batlord, is that not only does it show that people don't really give a ****, like when a feminist tears into a a male playing stereotypical male roles because that's what they want to be, but it also costs the city tons of money to clean that **** up. Unless you wanna go down the trendy pandering route like Logan did and say they are creating jobs.

Actually they should do that. That's kind of been the conservative pre *** speaking point on anything "it'll create jobs" just tell them your trash created more jobs than Trump ever did.

No, I mean, why would any reporter not from Fox News or whatever stick around after the protest to make sure they cleaned up after themselves? That just sounds like somebody took a few photos on their cellphone and hyped it on Twitter to their conservative buddies.
