[oatmeal]

Lot of psychologists in here. Can't wait to hear what Trump is thinking during his speech.

 

[Nevasleep]

I hope he just swears at the crowd and walks off in a tantrum.

 

[mackattk]

"whether we live with disabilities or we do not"

The repeal of the ACA will really bring the latter to a point.

 

[jmdajr]

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

I hate Trump, but they did all this for Obama as well, and all before him.

 

[TabletopTictacs]

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

Yes?

 

[Darksol]

Put your hand on the fucking useless symbol already and lie to the public - I want to go to bed.

 

[smokeymicpot]

Cnn overhead shot looks empty.

 

[Ac30]

Pence's daughter.

Hilariously she's in my girlfriend's class and is apparently nothing like her father.

 

[RinsFury]

Do you think Trump's hand will burn it?

Wouldn't be surprised if Cheeto had the bible swapped out for a copy of The Art of the Deal.

 

[neurosisxeno]

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

That's relatively new actually. Kennedy barely won because people were so worried his political beliefs would interfere with his ability to be President (same with Carter in fact). It's mostly been since that fuck face Reagan that being devoutly Christian has been almost a requirement.

Wouldn't be surprised if Cheeto had the bible swapped out for a copy of The Art of the Deal.

Nah, Ryan is gonna have it swapped out for Atlus Shrugged.

 

[TuXx]

Any child that's at least 9 years old should be able to understand the importance of someone becoming president let alone your own father.

 

[ClosingADoor]

Haha, at that view from the air. Thing is half empty.

 

[astroturfing]

why not have a Jewish, Islamic, Hindu and Buddhist prayer than too? why just Christian? is it some sort of special religion, better than the rest?

 

[Kurdel]

That's a big ask

 

[ferr]

Cut the music!

*steve austin glass breaking music starts*

*bernie proceeds to lay the smackdown on trump*

*hulk hogan comes out with an obama shirt, pats bernie on the back, then rips obama shirt off revealing make america great again shirt, `i am an american hero` plays, hulk taunts bernie*

*sting comes down from the rafters with a baseball bat*

etc.

 

[GreyWind]

Another view

 

[Shake Appeal]

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.

Religious ceremony has been part of certain U.S. governmental procedures as a matter of preference. There's no requirement, for instance, that they swear on the Bible or say "so help you God." They're just conventions to appease a nation that happens to be majority Christian. A few presidents haven't even sworn on a Bible, in fact.

[OraleeWey]

I'm convinced something's off with that kid

There's nothing wrong with that kid. He's 10 (I dunno someone else mentioned it)

That party sucks
The music is too loud
His feet hurt
He wishes he was gone playing video games

He's just a kid, leave him alone !

 

[BradC00]

Lol, that live overhead shot on CNN, nobody there.

Pics?

Nm

 

[Bunta]

Lot of psychologists in here. Can't wait to hear what Trump is thinking during his speech.

And body language experts.

 

[SparkleMotion]

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

Shouldn't we aspire to be like the President?

 

[davepoobond]

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

i think thats really what it is. this is a huge change for his life. he can't possibly understand how this will all change him as a person

 

[BrutishMrFish]

That's why you elected Trump as president americans

It's not. Quit with the revisionist bullshit.

 

[Ekai]

Also, seriously, leave Barron alone. He's not the one to attack here.

 

[YuriLowell]

his son looks so annoyed....lol

Dude at his age I would just want to be playing Pokemon.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

Baron is only 10 years old... his height makes you think he could 12 or 13 but he's only 10. Give him a break.

 

[ICO_SotC]

So become an asshole like him?

It's going to be a fun four years of asking people to not lower themselves to the level of the President.

 

[Cmagus]

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

It was in no way ill intent if it came off that way and if anything it was in defense of him if he does in fact have a disorder but again he may just be a normal bored 10 year old kid.

 

[Oersted]

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?

Genocide, slavery and nationalism, with christianity throw in to differate from the filthy communists, who are now christian, racist and nationalistic?

 

[ColdPizza]

Cnn overhead shot looks empty.

Maybe in comparison to Obama but there's still a large crowd there. I don't know people keep insisting "no Ike's there".

WURS KID RACK?

 

[FortuneFaded]

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

Bernie wouldn't have been bothered to get a haircut either.

 

[Always-honest]

This is so dumb.

Yep.

 

[Gutek]

WURS KID RACK?

Perfect.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Clarence looks shook

 

[AnotherDayAnotherDollar]

I'm convinced something's off with that kid

Future serial killer.

 

[Tom Nook]

Cut the music!

 

[KSweeley]

Shit

 

[Tyaren]

Were they booing in the background?

 

[Auto_aim1]

Cut the music!

Lol

 

[Brqan]

Also, seriously, leave Barron alone. He's not the one to attack here.

Fair game when he grows up he will trample on your rights too.

 

[RecRoulette]

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

For folks outside the US I understand, but outside of here I'm noticing a lot of folks I know are completely new to seeing something like this.

I'm glad they are noticing, and I hope they continue paying attention to politics. More people should do that.

 

[R10Neymarfan]

Here we go

 

[Ekai]

Baron is only 10 years old... his height makes you think he could 12 or 13 but he's only 10. Give him a break.

Hey, you're right on something for once in your life.

Fair game when he grows up he will trample on your rights too.

We don't really know how Barron is going to turn out. Kids aren't always like their parents.

 

[Zyae]

Good Ole Chuck Schumer

 

[jmdajr]

hehehehehe

 

[smokeymicpot]

Ryans smug face in the back.

 

[btrboyev]

Bernie wouldn't have been bothered to get a haircut either.

Bernie has an excuse.

No, you're wrong, stop being a judgey fuck about a 10 y/o.
