[Canadians cannot hear this themselves. They don't know what we're talking about. Funny, "about" is another word with "out" in it that identifies a Canadian when they say it. It's surprising how many words have "out" in them. There's a million of them. Words that start with "out." Words that end with "out. Including "without." Check it oot.]

Trump's arrival was different this time. Marine 1 landed outside the hangar and Trump walked directly to the stage.
Apparently Marine 1 is transported in a separate cargo plane. It is unbelievably expensive for the president to traipse around the country like this, but for protection, I suppose, it is necessary when half the United States wants to kill him.
MARINE ONE HAS JUST LANDED AND @POTUS @realDonaldTrump IS MAKING HIS WAY TO THE STAGE. JOIN US AND 32K OTHER PATRIOTS TO WATCH ON @RSBNetwork pic.twitter.com/UFhigEXknw— RSBNModerator (@RSBNModerator) October 20, 2018
For very many people being close to the president is the thrill of a lifetime.
Very many photographs like this, too many to post.

Can you see Zippy doing that?
PS McSally isn't one of his biggest boosters, so to need him means she owes him.
I posted the following comment on a thread further down, showing the convoy of Publix trucks arriving along with a vid of a somber man involved in rescue work. I unexpectedly started to cry watching those videos as I saw earnest and dedicated people doing what needed to be done, according to the call of duty, as well as above and beyond the call of duty. I wonder now if the response that welled up in me then, is what some of those who go to a Trump rally might also feel as they see in person someone who appears to be walking toward a problem in the midst of adversity while looking for and finding ways through it rather than turning away.
I was sitting at our kitchen table watching it with tears in my eyes. MrM hearing the siren on the video, see me and asked "What are you doing?" "I'm watching a convoy and crying".
I was physically tired from a long week, but I think it was more than that, as I saw truck after truck going past, one after the other as tangible evidence of a human chain of decisions made with the intent of helping others in need. Yes it's good publicity for Publix, but it still requires hard work and energy to follow through and be present in that way.
I saw it as the an antithesis of the antifa. The concrete opposite of the twisted sickness evidenced by other humans in power at the recent hearing. I am emotionally tired of political gaming, and seeing those trucks coming over the horizon delivering help, felt good; like something still worked in our country, with companies and people coming together to provide aid. I wondered what it would be like and feel like to be one of the truck drivers or police escort leading the way?
