The Pope and the D.C. Rioters and Vandals . . .
. . . are on the same team. They are ideological blood brothers (literally). The punks who set cars on fire, sucker punched and assaulted Trump supporters, and smashed Bank of America and McDonald's windows on inauguration day (to "protest American capitalism") carried signs saying "No Fascism." They oppose fascism and capitalism because they are self-described communists, and ever since the time of Stalin communists wanted their critics to believe that there are only two alternatives: communism or fascism. Choose fascism and you are choosing Hitler (or someone just like him). Classical liberalism and its philosophy of peace, freedom, free enterprise, rule of law, constitutionalism, and tolerance were supposed to have never existed.
Drudge reports that the pope was interviewed by a Spanish newspaper on inauguration day and said essentially the exact same thing, reminding the interviewer that Hitler was elected, and then "ruined his people," making a direct comparison to President Trump. The Castro-loving statist used this as a platform to denounce American and European "populism" and democracy. He then very gratuitously and sanctimoniously conceded that it would be appropriate to wait and "see what he [President Trump] does" before concluding that he is, in fact, the reincarnation of Hitler. Like almost all other Jesuits, the pope is in reality a communist ideologue hiding behind a priest's collar (and also behind a gigantic wall built built around the Vatican generations ago to keep Muslim invaders out).

Punks will always look for an oppurtunity to be bad boys.They don't care about the politics of any of it. They will leach onto any chance they get.
And they can be especially bad boys when paid cold, hard cash to 'protest'. I don't know whose money it was. Soros'? The CIA's?
Why do you think they were paid?
Links from two websites to two different reports, possibly from the same source, that stated protesters for the inaugural day protest were being signed up at twenty bucks an hour. That'll generate a lot of protesters, it's a better hourly wage than working at Starbucks in Seattle. And, of course, I have no way of determining whether that is or isn't Fake News, as the newest buzz words go.
But I believe it's probable. Flashback to 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago. Accusations were flung from, at least the Democratic Committee, maybe from Humphrey, that McCarthy was helping fund the Jerry Rubin wannabes. That's political SOP on both sides of the aisle.
I remember stories from old, very old, political days from big cities about the party bosses hitting the tenderloin areas to get people to vote for the "right" person by offering a pint of booze with a five dollar bill wrapped around it, in the usual brown paper bag. True or legend? I sure don't know. It would be harder to do today I'd think. Where would it be done? and how would one know where to go to get the $ ?
