To ask whether you'll watch the inauguration?

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 keep looking at Biden and thinking that he doesn't look very with it.

I don't know what's so funny. This kind of behaviour from people who make Reform look sane on many issues is precisely what has delivered this outcome.

Yeeeees - change is good a rest as they say

It's all got a bit boring now

Could do with some cheerleaders

Caroparo52 · 20/01/2025 16:55

I'm watching for the outfits! Usha Vance looks beautiful, I love that pink colour on her.

Yes it suits her

Barron is wearing a lot of eye makeup for a daytime event.

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.

Trump doesn’t care about any of these issues. He says what he needs to in order to get elected. Now he’s looking for enrichment and revenge. Nothing more.

MidnightBloom · 20/01/2025 16:56

Biden looks like he has parkinsons.

Also if Trump is the 47th president then how is it the 60th Augrounation ?

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.

Er, long live the convicted sexual
abuser and felon! FFS.

Ihateboris · 20/01/2025 16:57

Yes,but only because I love Carrie Underwood!

No. Remember all those clips of him wandering around public events and gawping at cue cards like a senile inpatient were a right wing myth for two years until overnight the Democrats wanted him out. And nobody seems to have wondered aloud who might have been actually running things during his tenure. Cause it's not been that guy.

I remember watching Carter hand over to Reagan when I was little

This would be the first one dd sees (Edit and is old enough to remember, being 5) but she's poorly and has fallen asleep bless her

I try to get her to watch these events as the6 do stay with you

I’m watching as I’m home with a bad cold so on the sofa. Wouldn’t bother otherwise. The Clintons have shocked me tbh. I too have seen the rumours about the Obamas. I’ll be sad if it’s true.

🙄 with Trump though, it’s not rumours, he has convictions.

Every presidential victory has an inauguration, so if someone wins two terms they will have two inaugurations (I wondered this too, but heard someone mention it earlier).

Goldenbear · 20/01/2025 16:57

It's very religious, we don't have that in the UK do we.

Sinkintotheswamp · 20/01/2025 16:58

That's not Billy Graham then, as he's dead 🤦‍♀️. I've got the sound off so I don't start cursing the laptop.

I don't care if he cares about it, I just want him to do it.

Sickening to see the Tech Bros sucking up to Trump

Yeah agree - weird as he seems to love jada but she thinks there's better out there

They definitely love / loved each other.

They just appear to have had an open marriage which isn’t mutually exclusive with loving your spouse.

It's quite surprising, being that the UK is a church of England country? (do correct me if wrong please)

That said, I'm glad, not a fan of blending religion and politics
