That kid just want to return home to keep playing COD.

 

[AP90]

This literally happens every Inauguration Day for every president ever. The country was founded on religion and it still has religious values baked into how it operates. Did you really expect this to change on a year when a Republican gets into office based on the votes of mostly religious people?

Dollars have "In god we trust"
Inaugurations are sworn on a bible and have sermons, etc.
School children must say "under god" every day

This. Must be some first time inauguration watchers here...

 

[Tarkus]

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.

I knew this thread would bring gaf's most disgusting in

 

[RinsFury]

This looks like a funeral

It is a funeral for the millions that will be losing their health care.

 

[R10Neymarfan]

who is the blonde behind them?

Poor Tiffany

 

[Violater]

He's probably nervous, holding Donald's coke for him

You guys should probably have some class and lay off the kids.

 

[ColdPizza]

Is Schumer going to go all in?

 

[Raven117]

“A Sound of Thunder,”

Alright fuckers, which one of you discovered time-travel?

 

[Bulzeeb]

I think he is autistic or something along those lines.

well maybe thats the reason why Trump is anti vaccination

 

[rec0ded1]

Trump looks like he just found out he has to work on the weekend.

 

[kiguel182]

No-one ever watch an inauguration before? Swearing/praying has been the norm since the beginning, no?

Most people are watching this inauguration outside the US because of Trump. We don't know all your customs.

 

[Clydefrog]

Weird sounds from the crowd..

 

[jelly]

Ha that focus on domestic.

 

[Mr Git]

Reading a prayer from a tablet, how times have changed.

It's just not made of stone anymore. Same bullshit, different materials.

 

[marrec]

I'm convinced something's off with that kid

Stop judging a 10 year old from clips you've seen on TV based on your own narrow perceptions. It's one thing to do this with the adults surrounding Trump but a kid? No need.

 

[Dirca]

Lol that one girl in the choir

"nah I ain't singing"

No, they sing at different times. She was singing a moment later

 

[Always-honest]

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

Absolutely.

 

[Doug Heffernan]

Sure, let's pick on an innocent child who didn't choose this life.

Stay classy...

 

[Syder]

I think he is autistic or something along those lines.

Thanks, Doctor Cmagus.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Can we as adults honestly stop criticizing a child?

But he's about to become president

 

[Gutek]

Can we as adults honestly stop criticizing a child?

Why? Our president makes fun of the disabled.

 

[Tom Nook]

his son looks so annoyed....lol

He wants to go home and play video games.

 

[DoubleYou]

Please clap

 

[APZonerunner]

As a Brit I will say any time I watch something US political that's ceremony-like I'm astonished by how religious it is. I always seem to forget, then I watch something and am surprised anew. Religion just isn't really a thing in politics here. (though it is a big part of events around the monarchy).

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

People here who are "grossed" out by Christianity (religion) during these ceremonies.

Just wondering, have any of you watched past US presidential inaugurations? Or even understand US tradition and history?

 

[Red]

I guess that's it, he tagged him in.

 

[ICO_SotC]

They are members of that choir clearly trying to hold back tears. This is depressing.

When do the Rockettes get here? Get ready for some depressive kickline.

 

[cpp_is_king]

Probably one of the 8 grandkids then

Ahh that would make sense. Talking about this girl btw

Edit: actually i bet it's pence's daughter

 

[btrboyev]

Trump couldn't even be bothered to get a haircut on this day. He needs to do something about that cheap head.

 

[Dunedain_Ranger]

That thounderous applaud

 

[Tyaren]

Lol, what was that about the choir being "easy to find"?

 

[Netherscourge]

Cut the music!

 

[Ron Mexico]

Exactly. Amazing that so few have paid attention

I'm going to be the total cynic and say I'm not amazed at all that so few have paid attention.

 

[The Chosen One]

I'm guessing Trump will have a solid speech. It'll be similar to his victory election speech. It'll be gracious, but it won't sound sincere, since he'll just be reading someone else's words.

 

[Tregard]

Wow, that media jab

 

[JJDubz]

'threats foreign and domestic' oh shit shumer

 

[quesalupa]

The government is the domestic threat you dolt.

 

[Ushojax]

"A politics frequently consumed by rancour"

Introducing our new POTUS, Donald J Trump!

 

[TheGameshark]

He's a kid!

Yeah he's probably bored out of his fucking mind. I know I would at that age.

 

[drspeedy]

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.

It's less about faith and more about having something that a majority of people have respect for, regardless of veracity. Think of it as a kind of "IF this god thing is real, you better hope you do the right thing and he likes you, k?".

[Barack Lesnar]

Til real concerns about the future of the lbgt community under this administratio = Fear Mongering

Ekai goes way over the top with it... bordering on manic. That's why I said hysterical, not the funny hysterical.

 

[Incandenza]

This dude sounds exactly like Adam Sessler

 

[Cmagus]

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.

There was a big discussion about this when Trump won and the way he was acting. I'm just saying this because there is no need for people to shit on the kid if he does in fact have some sort of illness like this.

Thanks, Doctor Cmagus.

You're welcome

 

[GtwoK]

Holy shit is that all booing in the background?

 

[Fergie]

First lady and the secret service agent kiss.

Looks like the same guy - https://twitter.com/superdeluxe/status/822248617775747072

 

[What did he mean by this?]

Does this guy not know this is the inauguration of Donald J Trump?

 

[Imperial Hot]

Chuck Schumer bringing the heat.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

But he's about to become president

Hahahaha

 

[Puck Beaverton]

also super classy homing in on a kid

real mature

 

[karasu]

That choir was awful
