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 intended to but went out instead. I watched a few minutes but now watching Pointless. It wasn't very interesting. I will watch the highlights on the news

How I wish we had a Trump here instead of two tier Keir.

America doesn’t own it do they? He can’t just decide to call it something else surely. What if Starmer announced America was now called Lugganag 🤷🏻‍♀️🙈

I guess he can call it what he likes, but nobody, certainly outside of America, is obliged to do the same.

Won 2 world wars! Er, hello!

For me it's fear trump a little, fear what comes after trump a lot

Agree that the us is on the decline but they aren't going anywhere quietly

He wants to plant The Stars and Stripes on MARS???!!!!😂😂😂😂

I'm very happy for him to fritter his time away on this nonsense. Whilst he's trying and failing to put flags on Mars he's distracted from persecuting minorities, buggering up the US's health system and destroying the environment.

How does he intend to take Panama Canal back?

Probably tariffs until they beg him to take it. Mexico are building a train line as competition anyway and the canal is too small and apparently running out of water.

Sadly our leaders will probably bend over backwards to the US no matter what the fools do. At this rate we need Europe and we need to mend bridges with China, which for all its faults is a rational and organised civilization that has seen everything happen before. ‘Let’s hope the… Chinese… love their children too’.

Did anyone see Hilary chuckle when he mentioned the Gulf of America
Her shoulders went up and down.
She was really chuckling

Do feel free to move to the US. Just don't get pregnant or ill, and don't have children to send to school to get shot.

European leaders, with a few exceptions, are also totally supine to American interests.

20 mins of rambling bollocks

When he said independent do you think he was referring to NATO

Figgygal · 20/01/2025 17:39

He does realise something doesn't become true just because he says it doesn't he?
Is he going to stop talking?

Cremeul · 20/01/2025 17:39

Dear Gods! Hold onto your hats for the next four years!

mumofoneAlonebutokay · 20/01/2025 17:39

I was enjoying myself until that sobering speech

God bless America indeed, they're gonna bloody need it

Honestly it’s not the US that is declining.

No

I watched Obama’s as it was such a historical monument to celebrate. Today shall be historical too but I do not feel there is anything to celebrate

I shall watch highlights on the news

I watched Obama's and we made the kids an all American tea of burgers, fries and shakes to celebrate, it really was a historical and hopeful moment.

Absolute racist - removing policies to increase ethnic minority representation

Deary me. You okay? He's said " colour blind" and best person for the job. Why do you not think that is racist? It's the opposite. It's fairness.

@Phthia

I'll just get knifed in this country shall I?
