They’ve only been and gone and done it.

"I owe you, I owe you everything"

"Let's give each other a chance"
"This is the time to heal"

A positive, constructive speech. I missed those.

lyralalala · 08/11/2020 01:48

They are such a good pairing

Apileofballyhoo · 08/11/2020 01:50

She is very clever and very charismatic.

AngeloMysterioso · 08/11/2020 01:51

Is it me or is his speech a little bit slurry? Is that just how he talks?

lionheart · 08/11/2020 01:51

Four years of diplomacy and international politics and she'll be ready.

user1471565182 · 08/11/2020 01:52

No sign of him on there but I enjoyed this one

He has a stutter and has to work hard to overcome that.

I don’t hear any slurring though

ludothedog · 08/11/2020 01:52

I actually think that he is very clear and rousing. Best speech he has given in a whilst.

QuestionableDanceMoves · 08/11/2020 01:54

He stumbles over his words more when he gets more animated, it’s understandable, most people do it actually. He’s just under more scrutiny

Destinysdaughter · 08/11/2020 01:59

Where are you watching Kamala's speech?

lyralalala · 08/11/2020 02:01

I’ve been watching on CNN. She was on before his

Apileofballyhoo · 08/11/2020 02:02

I thought his speech was very good in places. God it was great to see someone normal.

AngeloMysterioso · 08/11/2020 02:02

Ah ok.maybe slurry was the wrong word, it was just a little bit jumbled. In fairness, he must be absolutely knackered.

Kamala Harris was excellent.

Lweji · 08/11/2020 02:02

He was a little hesitant at first but got a strong ending, IMO.
Even the Fox presenters didn't criticise at the end.

It's lovely to see his grandchildren so close and warm to him, unlike others.

AcrossthePond55 · 08/11/2020 02:03

Restoring the soul of the nation in truth! What beautiful speeches.

"We are American. There is nothing we can't do if we are united". I know that may sound bit chauvinistic, but it's what we need now.

Wow, are you all seeing the drone show!!!???

Lweji · 08/11/2020 02:05

Also, Judge Janine should be on. Quite pleased Biden's speech replaced it. Grin

They are still showing the results of Trump's legal challenges at the bottom.
In a way it's a good thing, as it clears it up for their viewers.

Coquohvan · 08/11/2020 02:06

46 in lights yes

Lweji · 08/11/2020 02:08

Anyone else pictured SNL's Maya Rudolph while Kamala was speaking? Grin

lyralalala · 08/11/2020 02:08

The secret service will be wishing he’d get back behind the screen

ludothedog · 08/11/2020 02:09

Drone show was amazing! I'm imagining a whole bunch of drone nerds with their remote controls hiding behind the building controlling their flight, but I guess that's not how it works GrinBlushConfused

Now I’m imagining them sitting there since Wednesday

“Won’t be long lads, anytime now” 😂😂

It's all pre-programmed into a computer and the computer 'guides' the drones.

I'm a bit of a Disney nerd and there was a video on the Disney Parks Blog about how they did their drone show. Pretty damned amazing and huge kudos to the computer nerds.

I want a drone show over the WH now with giant middle fingers and 'Buh-bye Bawbag' in flashing lights.

RedToothBrush · 08/11/2020 02:19

He said all the right things and hit the tone right.

It was good. A very classic Presidential speech. Not amazing nor particularly memorable tbh. But he caught the moment and the mood.

But talk is cheap. He now has to show in the next few weeks if he can maintain that and turn it into something solid to maintain the peace.

Thats the hard bit.

lyralalala · 08/11/2020 02:26

I think it’ll be interesting now to see what senior republicans do now

He’s very plainly said “let’s work together”

There’s a pandemic, and all the issues stemming from that, that should mean a willingness to work together, but will it?

Runningdownthathill · 08/11/2020 02:29

Such a wonderful change from the egotism and ‘me, me me’. Plus, he’s sane and that’s a bonus. I am worried about what Trump will do to exact revenge though.
