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

These random standing ovations are awkward.

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.

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

crumblingschools · 20/01/2025 17:31

I notice Melania doesn't stand up

MidnightBloom · 20/01/2025 17:31

An awful lot of promises. Let's see how they pan out.

What did William mckinley do? Racist?

Boris Johnson is there but not the current Pm

I suspect Elon is paying for him.

It was back in October that Claudia Sheinbaum became President of Mexico, do keep up.

I watched it and I did chuckle hearing one American reporter saying that he loved the pomp and ceremony of it all.

CheesecakeOnTheLanai · 20/01/2025 17:32

The Gulf of Mexico is becoming the Gulf of America? Did I just hear that right? What an odd thing to fixate on in your inauguration speech.

I've only heard of William McKinley because of the high school in Glee was named after him

NooNakedJacuzziness · 20/01/2025 17:32

He's starting to remind me of Grampa Simpson

Do we reckon this Panama bit is going off script?

3floofs · 20/01/2025 17:32

Gulf of America, he says.

What next - renaming Atlantic Ocean?

How does he intend to take Panama Canal back?

Just switched on - out of curiosity.

Four years ago, did Trump even turn up for Biden's inauguration?

No, iirc there were concerns he wouldn’t actually leave the White House.

Yeah he stumbled on a couple of word. Not rehearsed this bit

Yes i think he's decided to go rogue

He’s sticking the boot in on the previous government. Very uncouth.
