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.

Do you think Trump's hand will burn 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.

That's my point pretty much.
 
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?

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.

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
 
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.

"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.

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.
 
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?

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

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.
