Bit of a boring one I guess. I'm gonna get the snacks in for me and dd as the coverage starts at 3.30/4pm (UK obs)

I love to watch stuff like this, makes me feel connected to the world 😅🙈

Plus I wanna see if anyone slips up and let's their face show their real thoughts

Plus I'll be making comparisons between barron and Gary barlow's giant son

Elon looks scary

Thanks!

Dear god, what a toe-curling festival of poor taste. All the Looney Tunes music and crass overblown speeches. Revolting, and so perfectly fitting for the inauguration of an actual primate as the "leader of the free world" 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

I’ve just started watching but can’t see Melania. Is she there?

She’s the one looking like the Ham burglar

CrushingOnRubies · 20/01/2025 17:52

Elon Musk's stare. 😳

Very much so, you can hardly miss her!

Meghan and Harry wedding flashback 🤭🤭

I did have a fleeting thought of that too.

And now, a poor dull reverend ...

Caught all the god bit and Trump knowing he needs to look like he really believes he was saved by god for the MAGAs. What a weird country. It made me appreciate Sunak's losing speech and how much more gracious he was.

Yes she’s there, she still looks like a hostage, she’s wearing a hat well pulled down so we can’t see her eyes rolling back into her brain.

Not since Meghan and Harry's wedding has a pastor so publicly given Bad Lip Reading such ripe fruit.

She's hiding under a navy hat.

This is grimly entertaining

SomethingSScintillating · 20/01/2025 17:51

I find it interesting how people not just here but at work etc won't watch.
I guess I'm very interested in history and this is a historical moment and could end up being one of the most famous / in famous speeches in USA and potentially World history.

All the nuances and glances and references are a moment in time.

This doesn't mean I'm a trump fan and I find it strange people struggle to make those distinctions.

I'm watching yes, and loving it.

CrushingOnRubies · 20/01/2025 17:49

This pastor is absolutely relishing this and enjoying this so much

TheCrowPeople · 20/01/2025 17:49

The pastor's auditioning for a part in his own reality show.

Loving it though!
