Fire department and wikipedia claims 6500 capacity, google claims 5250 capacity. Which one is wrong?

They are probably both right. I think there are 5250 fixed seats and depending on the activity the floor may be used for additional seating.

For example a rally or a concert would leave floor space for additional people while rodeos and sports would be limited to the 5250 seating.

Some of the senior Republicans went along with it, perhaps knowing there was zero chance of it being signed?
The news stories left us with the idea that DJT was responding to pressure from the Republican majority to finish the wall.
If "the plan" called for a "National Emergency" just prior to a government shutdown on friday, Trump might give Congress just enough time to strip out the limitations from the bill before the rest of the budget excluding southern border security was voted in *after* the declaration.

If Congress still had trouble meeting the deadline it probably wouldn't be catastrophic even if spending was frozen for a week.

I'm aware of that but neither of them says "seating capacity." See where the confusion comes from?

Wiki says, about the rally:

The Coliseum was filled to its 6,500 seat capacity.

The first hit on google gave me:

El Paso County Coliseum is a 5,250-seat multi-purpose arena in El Paso, Texas.

The difference would be how the floor is used with the max being set by the fire dept.

with a huge overflow outside that likely exceeded the number of people inside the stadium.

Got any images or vid of that?

packed stadium

Fire department says it was 6k people inside.

Video of the crowd lined up before Trump's rally and of the overflow crowd outside during the Rally. Thousands!



Video of Beto's Rally. At round 1:14 the camera pans around and shows a good view of the crowd. Hundreds, it looks like.
Only a little over 7000 people have watched this video of Beto's speech, yet the media is acting like he's the next Obama.

Maduro: Trump administration is KKK


Accuracy counts...

BETO VS. TRUMP: WHO HAD THE BIGGER CROWD IN EL PASO?

For POTUS (~15-20K)

According to MSNBC correspondent Garrett Haake‏, who gathered and tweeted estimates, the president's supporters in attendance at the rally could have numbered as many as 18,500. Haake‏ gave the tally of 6,500 individuals inside the arena, as per the fire department, and between 10,000 to 12,000 outside, via NBC News reporter Ali Vitali.

For Bob (~10-15K)

Haake‏ said that according to organizers, roughly 7,000 people were at O’Rourke’s competing rally, which was backed by groups such as Border Network for Human Rights and Women’s March El Paso.

Bloomberg’s White House correspondent quoted an El Paso Police Department estimate that was considerably higher. Jennifer Epstein tweeted that between 10,000 and 15,000 had attended the anti-wall protest.

Given the political makeup of El Paso, I would tend to belive that Trumps numbers are on the higher side of the range, and Bob's on the lower side of the range above.

But, since there's not a speck of honesty anywhere in reporting anymore, who the hell knows.

VERY informative post, C.O.M.. No wonder President Trump is urging Rashida to resign. He's looking out for her. Resigning is better than being indicted for forgery. (Elizabeth Warren should follow her, for the same reason)

Damn it that's just a coincidence and you stop that right now!

a reply to: Slichter

Senator Lindsay Graham was on Hannity radio show this afternoon. He had spoken with President Trump just before coming on the air. For the same reason you pointed out, he advised the President to closely examine the bill, if its OK, agree to sign the bill, after signing, execute the Executive Order. (If EO executed first, DIMS will pull the $1.3 Billion...or reallocate it.)

Bill provides $1.3 Billion. Trump has $900 million already available. The rest of the $$$ will come via the National Emergency E.O..

Yes, but must all comms be in the clear?

Interesting DJT tweet



Of course he is pointing out again that the wall is being built - Anons really should not be sweating this at this point.

What I find interesting is the he is replying to his own tweet? Both have but one time stamp. I'm sure I am missing something as I don't twit with the phone but I can't recall seeing this before.

We just differ on what a PUBLIC forum should project. No biggie.
