If we are being pedants then you can run an android phone sans Google. If you like making work for yourself. Like repeatedly dealing with banking apps that won't work.

And that won't help with YouTube which is part of the Googleplex if you need an account to sign in depending on what you are accessing.

I do not run an android phone. I do not have a Google account. I do not have a Facebook account.

Which bit of that is "pedantic"?

I use android, and Google is banned where I am. I manage ok.

Agent Orange is on SKY news, speaking at the UN. it.

He is discussing if he should annihilate the Islamic Republic or not. Send them to hell. That sort of thing. He says it is all about the midterms.

Now he is saying 18 new missile factories being built in the USA. The people who say no ammo are traitors.

Oil will come down.

Gaza now.... "we" ended that war. 30 countries in his bored of peace. He is doing a lot of thanking.

Ended 8 wars. He used his special relationship, trade, and tariffs.

blah blah. All mild for him. The record is well played.

I suspect while he is talking, the grown ups are doing business.

What is all this "sign in to prove you're not a bot" dreck? Why would being watched by a bot matter anyway?

I am not about to sign in to YouTube, so I can no longer see Seth Meyers. Pity.

Edited

The reason is that people use bots to inflate their followers to generate higher ad revenues.

OnePeppyFatball · 22/09/2026 15:52

And he’s off:

  • If necessary, the US will use military might to secure vital national interests.
  • While others have talked, I have acted. While others have spoken of peace, I made it.
  • Since I took office it has been my great honour to settle eight wars.
AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 22/09/2026 15:52

That makes a rather nasty commercial sense.

Unseating the perpetually 'concerned' Susan Collins will help the chances of flipping the Senate in Dems favour.

Hopefully the fine people of Maine are taking note of this.

We spent the summer in Maine. I hate to say it, but I don't have a good feeling about this one.

DuncinToffee · 22/09/2026 16:06

Leftist woke globalists and Christians, he is addressing his maga fan base.

RedTagAlan · 22/09/2026 16:11

HA HA HA... I wrote the below on the wrong thread. I put it on a reform thread in error. Caught it in time.
-----

He is droning on and on. Oh, carbon tax. "There is no global government, and while I am in charge there will be no global tax"

Erm... who put you in charge.
ICC now. Its wrong. Trans, genital mutilation, Christians persecuted. globalists destroying history.

AI is not fake. He is calling it SUPER INTELLIGENGE... THE WHOLE WORLD IS TO CALL IT THAT ... OK.

Climate change is hoax. Russia hoax, AI hoax... he just corrected himself to SI.. ITS SI OK, NOT AI.

He will encourage SUPER INTELLEGENCE.

Now he is doing his 1776 bit.. that means he is finishing ?

Now he is doing his crescendo bit, Soaring eagles and the like...
And bye.

GOD SAVE AMERICA

PERSECUTED CHRISTIANS, if you please :-)

Thing is, with Mat 5:10, persecution is really built in. The US evangelicals who make up his base, have to be persecuted. If they were not, then they need make it up. Fox news and Starbucks coffee cups for example.

DuncinToffee · 22/09/2026 16:21

Sorry Al

RedTagAlan · 22/09/2026 16:45

DuncinToffee · 22/09/2026 16:21

Sorry Al

Thing is, we already have SI. SI units.

Or does he want the world to convert to FREEDOM UNITS ?

No you cant have half a kilo of spuds to make chips. But you can have a FREEDOM lb of spuds to make FREEDOM FRIES. SO LONG AS YOU DONT FRY THEM IN COMMIE CANADIAN OIL.

Edit to add. Remember, computer power is measured in FLOPS. , floating point operations per second.

Does that mean we can measure this Trump proclamation in FLOPS... somehow :-)

SerendipityJane · 22/09/2026 17:00

F.U. Trump could catch on.

BruceAndNosh · 22/09/2026 17:45

Does Trump realise that signing the Greenland deal means that he can't carry on threatening to leave NATO every time he doesn't get his way, as according to the deal, only NATO members are allowed to have a military presence on Greenland...

Donald Trump to CNN at UN general assembly: 'You shouldn't be here'
The US president remarked on CNN’s presence at the UN general assembly on Tuesday, telling reporters he was ‘surprised’ the news network was covering him and that it ‘shouldn’t be here’ after he banned the outlet along with MS Now and Politico from the White House last week.
“The United Nations allowed us in, sir,” a CNN reporter replied, when Trump began to protest the outlet’s presence.
“You should not be here covering me,” Trump shot back. “You said you weren’t gonna cover me, you shouldn’t be covering me.”

I haven't dared look at the Burnham Trump meeting yet...

BruceAndNosh · 22/09/2026 19:40

My suggestion is
Burnham "no-one warned me that I'd have to actually shake his hand"

peramo · 22/09/2026 19:46

He really wanted King Charles, but he's busy so he's pissed off.

DuncinToffee · 22/09/2026 19:55

I can easily squash him

His speech was a drone as in on and on and on and on and on. Had to stop watching it.
