Billionaire Democrat candidate for president Michael Bloomberg is paying social media users $2,500 a month to say nice things about him on the various social media sites, a report says.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the former New York City mayor is throwing around money like it is water… and with his $64 billion fortune, apparently it is.

The paper says that Bloomie is paying the $2,500 a month to 500 people performing a job he is calling a “deputy digital organizer.”

That's like paying a hooker extra for her to fake an orgasm.

I write great compliments. Stuff like
"No one has gone to greater lengths to promote the removal of guns from private hands."
(To a Totalitarian or a Leftist, that is high praise; to an American, a serious warning).

I'd want at least 5 grand a month, though. :smokin: :silly:

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

 Twitter suspends 70 Bloomberg-boosting accounts for violating company policy
By Kenneth Garger

Twitter is reportedly suspending 70 accounts, some of which are backed by Michael Bloomberg’s campaign, that have posted identical messages in support of the Democrat’s presidential bid, calling the content “platform manipulation.”

The Los Angeles Times examined the accounts and alerted Twitter, who on Friday determined the posts violated company policy and said they would begin suspending the profiles.

A portion of accounts are operated by Bloomberg campaign workers — called “deputy field organizers” — who pump out pro-Bloomberg content across social media networks, including Twitter, for $2,500 a month, the report said. ...

Oh, I don't know. It could be fun (and profitable) to write high praise for someone that to anyone paying the least bit of attention heralds a horror show. It would be a passive-aggressive way to undermine a campaign, and a little jingle for doing it--from the enemy's coffers.

Sure, that's the sort of thing the Left does, but it'd be fun to give them a taste of their own medicine, on their dime.
