This needs screamed. Proof he isn't a Christian or proof he is going to violate the office.

so they don't give a shit about that.

If cornered the so-called republicon "christians" will lie.

Depend upon it. It's what they do: Bear False Witness.

Personally, I find it insane that in this supposedly secular country someone taking office has to include a very dubious holy book at the time.

He could eat a baby, and they will excuse it. To them the bible is only a cudgell to wield power and control over " the others."

I say within a year they'll try a full take over and burn the constitution and go full religious rule as America's Taliban.

Democrats have to adhere to a super strict set of rules and protocols. Republicans could literally take a shit on stage and our stupid media would be fawning all over them.

to swear an oath of office on the bible (which is true). However, these same people would have thrown a screeching fit if Biden, Harris, or Obama took their oaths in such a half-ass manner like Trump did yesterday.

They are double cultists: 'god' and trump.

They are dangerous.

They have zero ties to reality.
