We were especially interested in Trump saying that Alexander Graham Bell was American during his speech. Bell was even trending on twitter for a while! Canadians have always claimed AGB for ourselves, although we did know he was born in Scotland. I worked in Brantford - where he lived - for years, and they are quite proud to be known as The Telephone City. I used to pass the historical marker for the Bell Homestead all the time, and I finally asked a friend to take me there one day. They’ve turned the home into a small telephone museum. I’ve also worked in Paris, the town that Bell phoned for the very first long distance call. Trump can’t take that away from us! Ha! (Although, over the years, Brantford became equally famous for hockey’s Wayne Gretzky)
I remember driving around in Nova Scotia once, and a friend pointed out the Bell Homestead. What?? How many places did he live? Several, apparently!

Great! I left Twitter for a few hour so I can listen some happy Cole Porter songs and now World War 3 is trending!

This is fucking terrifying. He’s going to kill millions and 1/2 our government is supporting him.

Why are so many people so stupid? Either that or millions have been hypnotised into some sort of death wish that makes them vote for dangerous, megalomaniacal idiots like Trump and Johnson. I’m in utter despair.

Oh, Lord. He is probably trying to distract attention from his impeachment hearings. Next November can't come fast enough, assuming we're not nuked to kingdom come by then. Of course, his supporters will think this is great.

I think he will be re-elected. Just like the Tories being given a massive majority by the very people that will suffer most under the Tory Government. The USA & UK seem to have gone totally insane.
Well not totally obviously, but the sane voters are being shouted down by the baying, kool aid guzzling, crowds and the disgustingly complicit media.

My husband thinks so, too. I didn't believe him the first time.
