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]

Melania Ripped After Using Event With Freed Israeli Hostages To Promote Her New Documentary

First Lady Melania Trump was criticized after she used an event at the White House with freed Israeli hostages to promote her new documentary Melania, which follows her in the 20 days leading up to President Donald Trump’s second inauguration following the 2024 presidential election.

Amazon MGM paid $40 million for the distribution rights and reportedly poured another $35 million into marketing. The film beat box office predictions to earn more than $7 million over the weekend but will need to generate much more box office to break even.

Philly Woman Goes Viral With Her Totally Chill Reaction To Her Car Being Completely Frozen In Ice

While the Northeast battled winter weather, the internet was captivated by a Philly-based TikToker documenting how her car turned into what she jokingly described as a Snowmaggedon popsicle.

Last week, Tianna Graham shoveled out her 2016 Honda Civic and drove out after a snowstorm, took it to work, and parked it in the same spot she’d left it before: next to a water main. By the time she returned, her vehicle was completely encased in ice on the 1000 block of North Front Street in Philadelphia’s Fishtown neighborhood.

Dad Sparks Heated Debate After 'Nice Note' He Left For Wife And Kids Before Work Trip Sets Her Off

When a person becomes a parent, much more will change in their life than they anticipated.

But that transition can be especially hard when a person feels like they're losing themselves to their role as a mom or dad—and that feeling is made even worse when their partner hyper-fixates on their new role.
