Last night Resident Donald Trump, aka Pervertivo Bandito, continued his campaign to build “the wall”, intended in the short term to keep Latino’s out, and in the long term, to keep whites from escaping. He held a phony rally in El Paso, TX. There he and his Sheeple lied about El Paso, lied about the wall, and battered a reporter. Fortunately, a couple blocks away, Beto O’Rourke led the real El Paso rally.
Less than a mile away from the El Paso, Texas stadium in which President Donald Trump delivered what critics described as a bigoted and lie-filled case for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, as many as 15,000 Texans rallied and marched Monday night in a powerful display of opposition to both the wall and the broad anti-immigrant agenda it represents.
“This is the strong and resilient border community I proudly grew up in,” Cynthia Pompa, advocacy coordinator with the ACLU’s Border Rights Center, said as the “March for Truth” kicked off early Monday evening. “No boots. No detention beds. No border walls. No more dollars for DHS.”…
…According to Texas authorities, somewhere between 10,000 and 15,000 people gathered for the anti-Trump, anti-border wall rally across the street from the president’s event, where—contrary to the president’s characteristic lies—the venue could only hold 6,500 due to fire regulations…

Here’s the video. It starts at around 30 min. and ends around 43 min.
Vox also had an excelled article on the Rally.
Kudos to Beto for providing a true alternative.
RESIST!!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
It is certainly no fricking wonder that Beto’s rally drew vastly more people. There are, after all, more basically good people than basically evil people in the universe (or we’d all be dead already.) It did occur to me (of course it would be impossible for privacy reasons, and rightly so) that it would be interesting to compare the total net worth of all the attendees at both raliies.
I’m about 604 miles/8 hours from El Paso. Beto’s ‘March for Truth’, spoke volumes! Beto did not mention Trump’s name during his speech, nor did he have to. Truth won! Go, Beto!!
Meanwhile….here’s a vid of dt jr. speaking (volumes, imho) vs. teachers. ugh !!!!

I’m so glad Beto did his rally at the same time as the orange ogre. What a breath of fresh air.
Beto is, indeed, a breath of fresh air…hoping for marvelous things from him!
Beto gave the example how to nullify everything Drumpf said in a rally with reason and truth, now it is up to other Democrats to do the same at each of Drump’s next rallies.
Those Democrats, like Beto, shouldn’t be candidates for the presidential election, this would turn it into early election rallying with a personal agenda. With people like Beto, who at this point just personifies Democrats in a broad sense, Drumpf should be attacked on the lousy president he is now, on the lies he tells now and on the devastating effects he, his administration AND the Republicans have on the US and the world now and to keep up the resistance against them, in order to have all of them voted out of office in 2020, not just Drumpf.
Actually, Beto plans to announce his decision soon, so he may be a candidate.
BRAVO Beto!!!
For what it’s worth, looks like Beto won the numbers game:

Numbers don’t lie.
El Paso Fire Department crowd estimates::
Trump: 6,500
Beto O’Rourke: 10,000 – 15,000

I also say Bravo to Beto. We need someone who brings fresh clean air into their rallies.
Not dirty old polluted air like tRump.
Beto was giving power to truth and directly challenging Trump. A comment from Trump contained in the Vox article:
That is an odd comment coming from Trump since he had never before successfully won a political race of which I am aware, yet he is ROTUS. Further, he lost the popular vote in 2016 by almost 3 million votes. By his own definition, Trump should not be ROTUS or POTUS! Trump is an asshole, a liar, and a LOSER!
It will be interesting to see how Trump continues to spin his El Paso lies as the second Trump government shutdown looms.
I like Beto but I don’t think he is “ready for prime time” yet. But still, Go Beto!
Thanks and hugs to all.
