What happened to all the pre-printed signs we normally see at a protest like this?

Could it be that the funding dried up?

Is this a side benefit of shutting down USAID?

Times are tough in the land of layoffs.

Yes. A box of Sharpies and the reverse sides of cardboard supermarket cartons just isn’t like the good old days of Soros funding.

His guys used to deliver wooden pallets with piles of rocks and bricks to be used later in the violent hours of the demonstrations later.

The printers lost their USAID grants.

[Fai Mao]

The USAID print shop is closed would be my guess.

I love the “Nobody Elected Elon” sign. It fits right in with my taggie.

[GOPJ]

No buses, no pre-printed signs, no pallets of propositioned bricks? Looks like the ‘rent a mob’ folks don’t want to be unmasked...

OMG they cant’ even afford signs now lol.

No printing shops working just for them on the government dime.

I love it!!

I wonder if USAID Was responsible for those pallets of bricks that we’re getting dropped off at street corners in 2020 for use by BLM and antifa during the George Floyd crap

I imagine we’ll see fewer paid protestors too. Astroturf ain’t cheap.

Thanks for posting. I have noticed the same.

Next thing we will start seeing is all of the theologians, who recently graduated from a mainline church seminary and worked at a NGO, standing on the sidewalks with homemade signs begging for food money.

I’d say you’re right in this case.

[grimalkin]

I would imagine they were responsible for a lot of that crap.

That’s the ONLY thing they’re right about. We elected Donald Trump as President and he in turn appointed Elon Musk to head DOGE.

Be interesting to see how many professional paid protesters have filed for unemployment.

Too bad so sad, worthless commie protesters!
