WASHINGTON, DC: A crowd rental company has reported a 400% surge in inquiries for its services in Washington, DC, following President Donald Trump's move to federalize the city’s police force.

Crowds on Demand CEO Adam Swart told Fox News Digital that the company typically sees an uptick in requests during “high-stakes political moments.”

Crowds on Demand CEO Adam Swart says ‘vast majority’ of people at political events in DC are paid

“Right now, DC inquiries are up roughly 400% compared to the same period in 2024,” Swart said, referring to May–July of last year. “A large share are focused on opposing Trump’s policies in Washington and raising concerns about government overreach.”

He was not the lawyer. That was a mistaken identity thing. This bum was a clerk.

My question: Was he released on his own recognizance.

A bunch of older, white retirees supplementing their SS, getting a cool T-shirt and lunch. If the weather’s nice they get a fun day and some exercise. Beats being a Walmart greeter.

Is the crowd rental business something I can google? I guess the answer is yes…

Unbelievable. I wonder if they would take on the NRA as a client and protest for gun rights?

“”””he was a lawyer at the DoJ and is being charged with a felony as well as getting fired””””

Getting fired from a cushy job is punishment enough. He chose poorly.

I’m sure you can “arrange for appropriate accomodations.”

A misanthrope is someone who dislikes or distrusts other people, especially all of humankind, and often holds a general negative view of human nature. Misanthropy involves a strong aversion or hatred of people, often characterized by cynicism, bitterness, and a tendency towards isolation.

That defines the left and their actions.

Causes TDS also

As an undergraduate, I knew a girl who did this. She’d get like $30.00 (1982) and lunch to show up for various left-wing causes. I wonder what the pay is now?

400% surge in inquiries

So either they had 1 inquiry before and now have had 4 inquires. Or they had 10 inquires and now have 40.

Inquires does not mean the other party is actually going to engage your services. But it sounds good on headline.

It’s is the holding that counts.”

No! It’s one good photo-op for the MSM that counts.

Depending the the topic, parents who bring their children, or seem to, is a big plus. Children rental is a sub-specialty.

Hopefully, the FBI Counterintelligence Division will gather a ton of useful information about these screwballs.
