He's 10 ffs. Get off his case.

Seriously, of all the people to throw shade at right now, Baron isn't even close to one of them.

 

[tedtropy]

Was it also unnecessary when they prayed for Obama and Clinton and every other new president?

Yes?

 

[NewDust]

Was it also unnecessary when they prayed for Obama and Clinton and every other new president?

Yes?

 

[BraXzy]

I forgot how religious the US still is. Interesting ceremony...

 

[matt05891]

It happens every time. Rick Warren gave a very theologically Christian prayer at the inauguration of Obama.

Almost like it's peoples first election cycle lol

 

[Oersted]

the most powerful nation should not be guided by nonsense.

Well about that...

 

[AlteredBeast]

The intro to this song was terrible.

 

[Jakoo]

I think he is autistic or something along those lines.

Come on. I know a lot of us just want to shit all over Trump and this event but let's not just throw stuff like this out there.

 

[Metroxed]

Was it also unnecessary when they prayed for Obama and Clinton and every other new president?

Yes.

 

[UglyPony]

This looks like a funeral

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

bit harsh people having a go at Baron, he's like 11 or something, give him a break

also fuck Donald Trump

Ya, just as the GOP and conservatives gave Obamas family a break.

They are all fair game. Fuck the high road bullshit.

 

[Shake Appeal]

Religion has no place in politics.

This is surreal.

Religion underscores or is inseparable from politics in many, if not most, countries.

Many OECD countries with decrepit monarchies still basically enshrine the idea that the monarch's authority comes from God. People just forget about it.

The religiosity of America has got steadily more pronounced in the last 100 years, though. There's a good book about it: http://www.npr.org/2015/03/30/39636...ome-under-god-until-the-50s-religious-revival

[Fine Ham Abounds]

It's all so much worse that I thought it would be

How can this be happening

There's still time

I can still just walk away

Oh god

 

[Kindekuma]

The people in this choir look really happy to be there.

Maybe they're trying to focus on singing?

 

[KurtSloane]

He's a kid!

Bitterness knows no age limit.

 

[Biske]

Trump and Baron look how I imagine a lot of people feel right now.


"Fuck this boring shit, fuck this, fuck it all, I can't believe this is real and I'm here, I'm sick of it already"

 

[RinsFury]

This music along with the prayer creeping me out so hard.

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

I swear this was the ending song to Chaplin's The Great Dictator.

 

[Ourobolus]

I like that they have the old versions of the American flag hanging so we can see where we are going.

 

[Dirca]

 

[VanquishUK]

Trump looks so awkward sitting there, how the fuck did that guy win he looks so out of place.

 

[Hip Hop]

I think he is autistic or something along those lines.

yikes

 

[neurosisxeno]

who is the blonde behind them?

Mike Pence's Daughter in Law maybe?

 

[Tom Nook]

Lol that one girl in the choir

"nah I ain't singing"

I noticed it too.

 

[Captin Quacker]

Was it also unnecessary when they prayed for Obama and Clinton and every other new president?

Yep

Hence the phrase separation of church and state

 

[Ekai]

I'm not doing this with you again, Ekai... definitely not today of all days. Your hysterical fear mongering isn't gonna bait me for another back n forth to ruin this day.

You're the one supporting a fascist dictator who scape-goated millions of minorities and used LGBT deaths for his own agenda. You're the one denying the fucking reality minorities such as myself have to face now. You're the one denying the facts on the table of the kind of shit Republicans want to do. Today of all days is the decline of America as we know it. That you're happy sickens me.

 

[Brinbe]

Empty as fuck

 

[Stevey]

Wow, attacking his son for not standing still.

Stay classy, GAF

 

[FyreWulff]

who is the blonde behind them?

Vladmir Putin

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

I'm just waiting for a precision air strike to wipe these fuckers out of existence.

Edgy

 

[Omega Kirby]

I think he is autistic or something along those lines.

Or maybe he's bored out of his mind? I mean what 10 year old kid would enjoy standing for how long, listening to adults rambling on and on.

 

[Keasar]

Was it also unnecessary when they prayed for Obama and Clinton and every other new president?

Of course.

 

[Ekdrm2d1]

Spoiler. They swear on The Bible!

lmao

 

[dallow_bg]

That's cuz conservatives have jobs! Checkmate librul.

You just made me guffaw. lol

Oh man. Shoot me.

 

[Nevasleep]

Tough crowd, tough crowd.

 

[HotHamBoy]

Was it also unnecessary when they prayed for Obama and Clinton and every other new president?

Yes?

 

[theechrisfox]

Looks a little cloudy down there. Good chance of golden showers today.

 

[jimmypython]

his son looks so annoyed....lol

 

[kevin1025]

who is the blonde behind them?

Pence's daughter.

 

[Steejee]

So many here have no clue what the constitution says about religion and government and that "separation of church and state" is not part of it.

'Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;'

First line of the first amendment.

"he Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion"

Treaty of Tripoli.

That being said the inauguration prayers are a little different and if we managed to elect a non-christian they can use other means to swear in that president instead of a Bible.

 

[Peltz]

Was it also unnecessary when they prayed for Obama and Clinton and every other new president?

I'll echo the others: YES

 

[gutshot]

Separation of church and state was a reference to keeping the state away from interfering with people's religious preferences and practices. It had absolutely nothing to do with the reverse of that. Religious ceremony has always been a big part of the US government.

 

[Impeccable]

Can we as adults honestly stop criticizing a child?

 

[The Salt Life]

Didn't realize this was so religious. Lotta God up in here
!

Well yeah...it's America, god and politics go hand in hand

 

[LookAtMeGo]

this type of Jesus/God shit is creepy as hell.. the most powerful nation should not be guided by nonsense.

reminds me of how Bush 2 attacked Iraq because Jesus whispered to him to do it.. to stop the biblical characters Gog and Magog (or sth) from arising in Iraq. fucking madness.

i really hope Trump is a closet atheist and doesn't actually imagine doing God's work.

I bet every president is. But there are a lot of people out there you can get to do your bidding if they think you believe the same shit as them.

 

[Puck Beaverton]

Pretending that the LGBT community won't get fucked over is stupid.

Minorities were screwed no matter what.

 

[empyrean]

How long until the big orange gets his speech?

 

[Vincent Grayson]

Was it also unnecessary when they prayed for Obama and Clinton and every other new president?

It always has been, and always will be.

Vladmir Putin

He has a shirt on.
