Subject: Out of town pool #9 Trump finishes remarks
Trump wrapped up at 1:29 pm after speaking almost an hour; Village People thundered
Many delegates at front row tables stood to watch remarks and clap and cheer; some sat in the back and listened or checked phones
“Success brings unity” was theme of remarks; claimed virus shutdowns are politically motivated by Dem governors, will prob open up NC on Nov 4
Says virus mostly affects elderly and first shutdown was good but no more shutdowns:
“Most of the country right now is doing very, very well”

Got a few queries about what a heckler shouted during a Trump passage on Obama; unfortunately we were in back of room and I did not hear it; asked some co-poolers but they didn’t either, apologies
Biden has stated he can win from the confines of his basement.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY
AUGUST 24
1814
August 24
British troops set fire to the White House
On August 24, 1814, during the War of 1812 between the United States and England, British troops enter Washington, D.C. and burn the White House in retaliation for the American attack on the city of York in Ontario, Canada, in June 1813.
When the British arrived at the White House, they found that President James Madison and his first lady Dolley had already fled to safety in Maryland. Soldiers reportedly sat down to eat a meal made of leftover food from the White House scullery using White House dishes and silver before ransacking the presidential mansion and setting it ablaze.
According to the White House Historical Society and Dolley’s personal letters, President James Madison had left the White House on August 22 to meet with his generals on the battlefield, just as British troops threatened to enter the capitol. Before leaving, he asked his wife Dolley if she had the “courage or firmness” to wait for his intended return the next day. He asked her to gather important state papers and be prepared to abandon the White House at any moment.
The next day, Dolley and a few servants scanned the horizon with spyglasses waiting for either Madison or the British army to show up. As British troops gathered in the distance, Dolley decided to abandon the couple’s personal belongings and instead saved a full-length portrait of former president George Washington from desecration. Dolley wrote to her sister on the night of August 23 of the difficulty involved in saving the painting. Since the portrait was screwed to the wall, she ordered the frame to be broken and the canvas pulled out and rolled up. Two unidentified “gentlemen from New York” hustled it away for safe-keeping. (Unbeknownst to Dolley the portrait was actually a copy of Gilbert Stuart’s original). The task complete, Dolley wrote “and now, dear sister, I must leave this house, or the retreating army will make me a prisoner in it by filling up the road I am directed to take.” Dolley left the White House and found her husband at their predetermined meeting place in the middle of a thunderstorm.

Unless he debates virtually, they could put up responses for him to read.

“Village People thundered”
What does that mean?
Thanks for posting this historic information
I heard something too, don’t know what or who it was.
Just came back from pharmacy. Last month my 90 day supply of meds was $1339.91. Walked out, couldn’t afford it . Today, same meds and 90 day supply $251.51. These are the stories that will guarantee a lopsided victory for President Trump!! #MAGA2020LandslideVictory— Michael Montalto (@MichaelMontalt2) August 24, 2020
