Trump is proving he’s definitely unstable. Who reads tha Stephen Miller diatribe as an inaugural speech?
The audience is almost lily white then you see An American Rainbow in the military band

breds, do your mental health a favor and consider taking a break from all things Trump related.

And #47 has promised to 'plant' a US Flag on Mars.

Wonder what the means of transport will be. SpaceX anyone?

Or do we still have confidence in NASA.

I watched it, 2 words, comical and delusional.

I mean a very sad day for America, we see one President who proudly presided over genocide, as as much as it was a great thing that he is leaving and he will meet his lord to answer, no sooner we got a bigot, a lunatic, a convicted felon and sexual abuser.

How can anyone be happy.

But I believe this country will survive Biden and now Trump.

Saw Zuckerberg (Meta), Pichai (Alphabet/Google), Bezos (Amazon), Musk (Tesla, X/Twitter) in the crowd today.

Thanks for all those who use those products as you turned out to fund Trump big grin

Every once in a while, I find something on which to agree with #45/47. This time it's for not placing his hand on the provided bible during the swearing in.

Afterall, the man has his own brand of bibles, why should he be 'subscribing' to someone else's?

In marriage, 2 become 1, and his wife was holding the Bible.

Now you're providing a 'cop out' for #45/47 when he inevitably violates the Oath of Office. He'll just say something like, "I didn't swear on any freeking bible. Melania was the one who did.".

My friend, you actually take this stuff seriously a lot of these guys come on here just to troll. religious text is optional at swearing in ceremonies. Tulsi Gabbard took her oath of office on the Bhagwat Gita.

And all of them know at the Naturalization ceremony, everybody raise their hand and repeat what the judge says at the head of the room.

Aren't you curious though about the selective adoration/adulation of the Bible (even if it's held upside down)?

Here, #45/47 had the opportunity (with the world watching) to pitch the solemnity of the bible, even market his version, and he chose to disrespect it by electing not to touch.

Looks like his adoration/adulation is convenient at best.

What is your point Dr
S? Kieth Ellison swore on The Koran. In both cases as per practice and wxpectation they both put their hand on their book of faith. Trump supporters when defending at all cost are an interesting lot yes.
