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

Yes I will. So glad to get rid of the women-hating, children mutilating Dems. I didn't feel this way the last time but I do think Trump is badly needed now.

Did you vote for Trump then?

TheLastLady · 20/01/2025 15:13

you mean The Chase is not on?

Noooooo😩

BeeCucumber · 20/01/2025 15:03

Nope - no interest. The UK should stream it on-line only. I’m missing The Chase today and I’m not happy.

😄😄 the chase being on is a cemented part of dd's routine, we love it

Cant believe they've put deal or no deal on instead 🤢

I always watch them.
Fascinated by Melania's hat covering her eyes. Trying to decide whether she did it on purpose.

Thanks op, I came looking for a thread about watching today. I will be watching because, I always try to watch importantly events. One day today will be history.

Exactly my thinking, bad man but an historical moment

Absolutely. I shall be watching. I always watch it, regardless of who gets in.
I find the Americans utterly bonkers and so over the top.

I'm not sure I even notice when we get a new PM. We've had so many in recent years I forget who's in.

Plus, I want to see what Melania is wearing 🤣

It's a freak show 😄

Me too, I love to watch melania, that's a woman with some stories

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

Horriblevirusagain · 20/01/2025 15:20

I'm watching. Can't wait to hear what good Donald does over the next few months. Stopping gender surgery on kids is a brilliant start! Taking the LGBTQ out of the classroom also a great start. Starmer is the worst Prime minister the UK has ever had and he is dangerous to the UK also. Trump and Reform are the only ones who actually care about people's safety.

Horrace · 20/01/2025 15:21

Melania fascinates me

MabelMoo23 · 20/01/2025 15:21

I’m watching it as a world event, although it’s only on quietly as WFH.

the graciousness shown by the Biden’s welcoming the Trumps to the White House is such a different story compared to 4 years ago when Trump stomped off and sulked on Marine One and didn’t do any of the traditional handover of power

Not Canadian, Greenland or Haitian people. Or women in any other context.

Of course not!

No I can't find a fuck to give. I loathe the big orange turnip, and avoid watching his smug boat race whenever possible.

Hard pass from me. Grin

JobMatch3000 · 20/01/2025 14:46

Only to see what Melania is wearing / which designer dressed her.

She's no better than him. Who cares?

HRTQueen · 20/01/2025 15:23

I do want to see what Melania shall be wearing, she is very stylish

Avatartar · 20/01/2025 15:24

Watching news feed - is Melania hiding under that hat and being deliberately expressionless to camera (turns and smiles at Jill Biden, v white teeth)?

sp melania

would rather shave my eyeballs

Are you me? Pretty much spot on for how I feel, it’s utterly depressing.

Sinkintotheswamp · 20/01/2025 15:30

It looks better having it indoors. Can see everyone properly.

Are Bush JNR and Pence there? They loathe him. Can't believe Bush seems like a smart, stable leader in comparison.

mumofoneAlonebutokay · 20/01/2025 15:31

About to watch bbc1 now, although I'm usually an itv coverage person

Channel 5 are randomly covering it as well, no episodes of 'benefits Britain, let's bash them' on today

I'm watching. I want to see this historical event. Is this the beginning of America's decline? Who knows.
I don't agree with Trump. I'd like to see what he's going to do considering he's promised to end the Russian/Ukraine conflict within 48hrs then back tracked. He's said he will declare a state of emergency at the border. I'd like to see how the USA fairs without immigration.
You get what you vote for after all.

Fascinated by Melania's hat covering her eyes. Trying to decide whether she did it on purpose.

I think everything Melania does is carefully calibrated, from marrying the orange arsehole onwards.

oakleaffy · 20/01/2025 15:45

I’m going on a dog walk now - Might listen to the Archers. Trump will be so full of himself.

TheLastLady · 20/01/2025 15:48

poor woman, imagine having to have sex with that😯
