Support NeoGAF

[Ekai]

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

Minorities were screwed no matter what.

It's been that posters MO to deny the shit Republicans will do to minorities the entire time. And praise them when they use our deaths for their own ends. And etc. etc.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

Can we as adults honestly stop criticizing a child?

I feel bad for Barron, he's going to get shit on constantly like every other presidential kid.

 

[neurosisxeno]

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.

I'm going to get elected and have people read some Lovecraft.

 

[jmdajr]

Do you think Trump's hand will burn it?

 

[Always-honest]

He looks like he forgot to take a shit.

 

[chadskin]

Schumer bringing the heat.

 

[Log4Girlz]

Holy shit is that all booing in the background?

Booourns

 

[Kilau]

'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.

That's my point pretty much.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Love "adults" in here analyzing a 10 year old lmao.

 

[His Majesty]

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?

I do but it's still baffling to see it practiced so openly at the highest level of government.

 

[peteykirch]

 

[Seik]

his son looks so annoyed....lol

Can't blame him honestly, even at my age I'd be desperate to do anything else than listen to choirs and prayers.

 

[smokeymicpot]

Will Trump send out any tweets during the inauguration?

They took his phone away so nope.

 

[KurtSloane]

Why? Our president makes fun of the disabled.

So become an asshole like him?

Well played .... still your president and you make fun of kids.

 

[Podge293]

Going off sky news a bunch of protestors getting a bit violent/damaging. Not good stuff.

Also trump looks scared

 

[gaugebozo]

Not her, like Barons age standing behind trump right now with navy blue jacket

Think it's Pence's daughter.

 

[SpiceMelange]

It's as traditional as everything else is since the US was founded. Even if you don't believe in it, it is simply tradition, like singing the national anthem before baseball games. Thinking there's some sort of menacing entanglement of politics and religion is nuts. So no, they don't.

So you think americans wouldn't make a scandal out of an atheist president? It's just tradition with not actual religious meaning right?

 

[kendrid]

Why? Our president makes fun of the disabled.

I don't know, to be better than him?

 

[daveo42]

I wonder how long the orange turd will speak. It seems like he can't stand to speak for more than a few minutes unless he's speaking off the cuff on the stump to the fears of rural white people.

 

[Doug Heffernan]

Love "adults" in here analyzing a 10 year old lmao.

It's absolutely disgusting.

 

[HiiiLife]

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

Trump got GAF politicin'.

 

[Apathy]

Can't believe Hilary got boos, these trump supporters are petty as fuck

 

[usp84]

Wow a 5 minute prayer(whatever it is they did)which hurt nobody and half of the people here are enraged.Amazing

And then they expect others to respect their beliefs and ideas.That's why you elected Trump as president americans

 

[kevin1025]

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

I don't think he needs haircuts after the skin flap surgery he had done. That's what it will always be.

 

[LiquidSword]

They were saying that on NPR that Trump would not be able to play off the crowd. That it is a solemn event. Like lol the crowd is already booing because a Democrat is speaking. He will definitely play off the crowd for his speech.

 

[astroturfing]

yeah lets not speculate on the mental health of a kid none of us know and who is in no way guilty of anything shitty his dad has done.

 

[kiguel182]

"you guys aren't used to the fact our government is super connected to religion in a way that doesn't exist in other places? Shameful!" Some of you are really something.

 

[davepoobond]

Holy shit is that all booing in the background?

its full of trump supporters, they dont believe in anything schumer is saying

[rocketskates]

It's like GAF's first inauguration. Unfortunately yeah, we as Americans put too much bullshit into Christianity so it's everywhere. Sorry.

 

[Kraftwerk]

" Trump is so rude and a bigot......oh lmao look at his autistic child lmao"

jesus christ people

 

[Fancyarcher]

The people in the crowd look so unhappy to be there. Amazing!

 

[dallow_bg]

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?

Who cares if they are?

 

[Ensirius]

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

I'm dying.

 

[everyday math]

Why? Our president makes fun of the disabled.

Is this a real post?

 

[marrec]

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

My 10 y/o struggles to make it through a bank visit much less a multi-hour event in the dreary rain.

 

[Ekai]

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

That you call legitimate concerns/fears hysterical also sickens me. This man and his party represent all that is evil about America. That you continue to downplay what will be done to LGBT americans is fucking appalling.

 

[Aeternus Malum]

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

Lots of people here have made it clear that they aren't from the US.

As someone who is from the US, I will say it is stupid that religion and politics arent separate

 

[7Th]

Hopefully Trump's health is as terrible as he looks.

 

[ICO_SotC]

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

Gaf makes me feel old sometimes.

But yes, America has long had a bizarre relationship with religion in government that only leads to divisiveness.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

It's absolutely disgusting.

Anything to get a zingy response in! Gotta show the people how edgy I am!

 

[Tyaren]

Love "adults" in here analyzing a 10 year old lmao.

Poor kid looks as if he wanted to be anywhere but there.

 

[Gutek]

I don't know, to be better than him?

He is the best. He is the President of the United States of America.

I can't be better than him.

 

[SallyIsNow]

Can't believe Hilary got boos, these trump supporters are petty as fuck

There's people here homing in on a kid. There's pettiness on both sides.
Grow the fuck up, guys.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

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

It was a dig at Donald. I feel bad for the kid, he's obviously uncomfortable as fuck.

 

[Dice]

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

Stay classy...

I feel bad for that kid. So much hate and controversy and pressure to be associated with when you're only 10. I remember seeing a video of him nearly falling asleep as Donald gave a speech and someone in the crowd yelled "Kill Obama!" and he suddenly woke up looking shocked.

 

[Jakoo]

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.

Fair enough if there was no ill intent, however, Melania Trump came out denying this.

 

[Netherscourge]

Do you think Trump's hand will burn it?

Trump have his chauffeur put his hand on it instead, after he opens the door for him and sweeps off his seat for him.

 

[ColdPizza]

It's like GAF's first inauguration. Unfortunately yeah, we as Americans put too much bullshit into Christianity so it's everywhere. Sorry.

It probably is for many members, especially after 8 years. That's quite a long time.

 

[phaonaut]

Wow a 5 minute prayer(whatever it is they did)which hurt nobody and half of the people here are enraged.Amazing

And then they expect others to respect their beliefs and ideas.That's why you elected Trump as president americans

This is so dumb.
