Botched Ceremony: Trump chose not to swear-in on the Bible

They are all adults

 

Disagree, she looks like she's going to steal my burger

 

Lol, you took exception to a comment on Melania's hat.....are you suggesting she isn't an adult. You are flailing all over the place.

 

You didn't refer to the potus as the orange god, so you're good

 

I am suggesting that wives should be off limits

 

This isnt the mafia, its a message board

 

Except the ones that you don't like, right?

 

Perhaps the Gateway Blaze or the ilk has provided the cult with information about other offspring of the serial adulterer that non cultists aren't privy to?

 

is swearing on the bible a requirement?

 

No just another norm going by the wayside. That said, there are other fish to fry here. I don't care that he didn't have his hand on the bible at the swearing in.

 

I don't know if its a 'norm' either. Cant be the first time its happened. Its probably become more of a prop than it used to be in the age of television and photography. Its notable mainly because they intentionally brought out the props and they werent used, for whatever reason.

 

Looks like Teddy Roosevelt and John Quincy Adams also did not use a bible.

 

Well, he held a bible upside down outside that church during his first term. Does that count?

 

U may not be cut out for this board. They’re gonna go bat shit crazy for the next 4 years. Just enjoy it. It’s straight insanity.

 

I believe JFK also used a St. Joseph's Missal rather than a Bible.

 

This was on Roberts starting the oath too fast. If you watch the video, he starts it before Melania and the family can get in place next to and behind the President.

 

Aside: swearing on the Bible isn’t biblical. All the Bible says is let your yes be yes and let your no be no.

 

Alright...I had to use my left hand to force my right hand to go ahead and rate that funny.

Because that shit's pretty damn funny.

(But you're still a misguided godless commie...).
