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

I’d love Kamala to start laughing loudly at every comment Trump makes

What do you mean? If you're talking about abortion he says he will leave it to the individual states to deal with. Its a niche issue, anyway. The issue of males invading women's spaces affects every woman.

A niche issue? Since when were all women of reproductive age "niche"?

As you must know, it's not simply elective abortion; it's issues such as whether women with ectopic pregnancies or haemorrhaging whilst pregnant can have the pregnancy terminated to save their lives, whether young girls and women who have been raped and abused have to carry on with pregnancy, whether babies with incurable life-terminating conditions have to go through childbirth and a short and painful life when that can be avoided, whether women can take certain medications to rectify hormonal problems, etc etc.

I would hate to be a girl or woman of childbearing age in the US right now.

And that's before I even start on issues such as the danger posed to everyone in the US by firearms.

These random standing ovations are awkward.

Absolute racist - removing policies to increase ethnic minority representation

There are a lot of minorites who support this for some reason

I'm watching - He said that they are going to use their oil and gas and remove electric car policies so they can buy the cars they want.

What is the point of the UK taking any climate change steps when America is doing things like this?

Boris Johnson is there but not the current Pm

CheesecakeOnTheLanai · 20/01/2025 17:27

I don't like J D Vance but having read his book years ago (long before he became VP pick), I am impressed he's overcome such hardships in his childhood. He's come from almost Dickensian poverty and a family riddled with addiction in Appalachia and fought his way out to become the second most powerful man in the world.

Liking Clinton who's just opening and shutting his mouth and looking over at Biden 👀

What does Musk think of Trump's automobile industry promises?

I know! I was wondering about that...

crumblingschools · 20/01/2025 17:26

@Goldenbear good point about Musk

Tariffs are paid by the consumer in the end - but people fall for this shit.

They are usually invited though is my understanding?

Starmer wasn't.

They are not usually invited. Trumps invite to some world leader’s broke with tradition.
