I really want to see this guy march alone with a single sign that says "Protect Billionaire Rights"
Billionaires have it the worst. people are always going "you could do this for the world," "you could feed children," but nobody is asking why they're stuck with a single 300ft yacht when they really want that 400ft yacht with two helicopter pads.
Yeah, that seems to be what they do
That sign would be about as welcome as John McLane was at the start of Die Hard 3.
Yeah, that sign with that slur. Except there wouldn't be Samuel L kicking about to save him.
I had to look it up as apparently I've only seen the most polite of the TV versions, being "I hate everybody"
Yeah, that movie is not for broadcast TV.
It would be one guy with three dozen armed security contractors around him in full mercenary kit
So a bunch of billionaires in one place you say?
Guillotine sounds intensify
Like Luigi shooting fish in a barrel
Ah, finally! A man after my own heart 🥲
Sounds like he’s after billionaire hearts
ba dum tss
If only! 😞
They can't even show up to their own protest. F.
I feel like they are threatening us with a good time.
This isn't so much licking boots as deepthroating them up to the knee.
Snakes can do that too
Please don't remind us of that comic
If it is any consolation I have no idea what comic you are thinking of.
We know billionaires aren't going to do the work themselves. Finally we will get to see who these "paid protesters" are that I keep hearing about.
This is like a sketch from whose line is it anyway
Nah— they were actually funny
There are dozens of us!
Now we know where to look for the real paid protesters.
Eggs are the worst for clean up.
It’s past 11:00 now. Did ANYONE show up?
How much can you hire a sniper for? Might be worth picking off the 4 guys who show up for this. Just a thought?
Start a gofundme maybe.
Anybody who shows up to protest for billionaires is an idiot.
Make copies of asset adjustment tax forms, make paper airplanes out of them and throw them as they walk by.
How fast can we get Luigi out? I’ve got a ln idea.
