George Takei State of the Union 2019 & Democrat Response: Live Chat & Discussion Is Cancelled

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image="56309" img_size="full" css_animation="fadeInUp"][vc_empty_space height="30px"][vc_column_text]UPDATE 2/5/19 @ 6:00 p.m. EST: Due to scheduling conflicts, George, unfortunately, has to cancel his participation in the SOTU live blog and discussion tonight. We apologize to all fans who were looking forward to it. 

Original story below.


Join George Takei live as he reacts and responds to President Donald Trump's State of the Union 2019, along with the Democrat Response by former State Representative Stacey Abrams. According to the New York Times, Trump's speech is expected to have a "unifying tone" but will appeal to his evangelical base's anti-abortion stance.

The choice of Abrams as Trump's rebuttal is largely seen as a referendum for the want for change in 2020.

Discuss the entire thing as led by "Uncle George." The event is hosted by Spot.IM and starts at 8:45 p.m. ET. It will continue until just after Abrams' response.

To join, sign-up with Spot.IM by scrolling down to the chat board below.

Click "Log In" at the top of the chat board. You will be prompted to sign-up with either Facebook, Google, Twitter, or your personal email. Whichever you prefer, follow all the prompts. If you're using your personal email, you will have to select "Sign Up" from the first prompt.

Once you're logged, stay right here as George leads a thoughtful discussion on the policies of Trump.

Thanks for joining![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]JTNDc2NyaXB0JTIwc3JjJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZsYXVuY2hlci5zcG90LmltJTJGc3BvdCUyRnNwXzhmdkdsNjkyJTIyJTIwZGF0YS1zcG90aW0tbW9kdWxlJTNEJTIyc3BvdGltLWxhdW5jaGVyJTIyJTIwZGF0YS1saXZlLWJsb2clM0QlMjJ0cnVlJTIyJTIwZGF0YS1saXZlLWV2ZW50LWNvZGUlM0QlMjJGbkFmOVRJcGVBcjF1UmREZkhXRCUyMiUyMGRhdGEtZW5hYmxlLWxpdmUtYmxvZy1yZXBsaWVzJTNEJTIydHJ1ZSUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRnNjcmlwdCUzRQ==[/vc_raw_html][vc_raw_html]JTNDZGl2JTIwZGF0YS1zcG90aW0tbW9kdWxlJTNEJTIycmVjaXJjdWxhdGlvbiUyMiUyMGRhdGEtc3BvdC1pZCUzRCUyMnNwXzhmdkdsNjkyJTIyJTNFJTNDJTJGZGl2JTNFJTBBJTNDc2NyaXB0JTIwYXN5bmMlMjBzcmMlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnJlY2lyY3VsYXRpb24uc3BvdC5pbSUyRnNwb3QlMkZzcF84ZnZHbDY5MiUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRnNjcmlwdCUzRQ==[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had people raising their eyebrows after he made an out-of-touch remark at the World Economic Forum about the number of homes people purchase for their retirement, claiming at a time when Americans are struggling with a nationwide cost-of-living crisis that some are purchasing as many as "12 homes" for their golden years.

Bessent described the administration’s strategy to limit the role of large institutional buyers in the single-family housing market, while preserving protections for smaller, independent landlords, including those who rely on rental properties for retirement income.
