In the middle of the protest in PHX.

Loud and peaceful. Rethugs way outnumbered.

1. Great to hear. Stay safe! nt

2. Rachel Maddow just showed some video of protesters outside the Trump rally.

I am surprised and pleased to see how large the protesting group is! Some great signs too!

[SCVDem]

6. Did one of those signs have

FUC on it?

It got a lot of air time.

[MLAA]

8. Husband was watching local Tucson evening news....

They showed a view of the crowds an hour or so before the rally...and the camera caught a sign in big black and white letters that said FUCK TRUMP. 😀

3. Great! nt

[CurtEastPoint]

4. According to the Daily Mirror (trash) WAY MORE TRUMPETTES than sane people.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

5. Hmm not inside..sounds like pure thugs. Couldn't

Any of us get in?

[Squinch]

7. Good. Thank you!

9. Did Fox "News" say something about unfurling the flag to show support?

Because my two tea-bag neighbors have their flags hanging in front of their homes.
At first I was trying to figure out what holiday it was, then I realized our dishonorable president was making some dumb speech.
I must have the only 2 tea bag nut-heads as neighbors in my city. Oh what luck (they're actually nice guys, otherwise).

15. They just hide themselves well so U never see

them. People pleasers are like that but when they are not being watched and join with like minded people, they might as well remove their sheets. Racists are nice people... to other racists.

18. It took me a second, but I see what you're saying.

And I'm inclined to agree with you. One of the guys is 81, so he's probably just not thinking about things.
But the other guy: I was at his house the other day and he had a bunch of signs hanging around his walls. He asked me to come over and see a certain area (I was sitting down, but he was adamant that I see the rest of them)—and guess what was there: a sign of the confederate. He glanced at me when I saw it. He hides it from plain view. I lost all respect at that point.

10. Stupid and misguided

From Politico: "Trump backer Randy Hutson, a retired Phoenix police officer, began standing in line more than seven hours before the speech was to start. "He is the first president I feel in my lifetime that speaks his mind and speaks from the heart," Hutson said. "He says what needs to be said.""

These people aren't even going to care that Trump colluded with Russia. They won't care that he gave them classified intelligence. These are the people I fear when Trump finally resigns or is impeached. Stupid people with guns.

11. Thank you for being there tonight!

You're a true patriot.

12. Fugelsang on sirius said there was a craig's list ad for "extras" to go on tv wearing a T shirt

Had to be melliennials, and had to wear the t shirt provided. They HIRED the crowd. They've done it before. Bussed them in through the back door, I"m sure.

[Capperdan]

13. Why do we pay for his campaign speech?

Add up the cost of AirForce 1 and secret service, etc., etc. You paid for it. How many food stamps could we buy?

[leftieNanner]

14. Some of the cost of this trip

came out of his Campaign 2020 fund.

It's sick, but makes me laugh that he has his next fundraising (grift) up and running already.

But Air Force One and the Secret Service are definitely on our dime.

[NastyRiffraff]

16. Thank you for being there!

I know it was wicked hot. I'm proud of you and all the protesters.

17. The best kind of girls night out
