    Honestly, the current situation is beyond double standards. The Republicans have free reign to more or less break any of their own rules and suffer almost no consequences. Meanwhile, literally anything a Democrat does is spun into multiple mutually exclusive conspiracy theories that their base and the media somehow manage to spout simultaneously.

      Not to mention leftists will latch onto it too and repeat the lie everywhere yet swear up and down that they voted for the Democrat even though they shit on them any time they open their mouth.

    Sadly I think it would have been more than half. Personally I’d like less of the Bible in any of our swear ins, but Orange Hitler not doing it just keeps the process rolling forward.

      The person can choose what they swear on. He chose the bible, then failed to use it.

      Hell, even the racism and fake Christianity are just bones they toss to the base while doing their real business.

    Whoever succeeds trump, (assuming that happens, and it’s not Vance), should do the same thing, so we can maybe get rid of that dumbass tradition.

      “we separate church and state” Church throwing bibles at every god damn state and court event and making people swear on them.

    If one of Obama’s friends would’ve done a nazi salute behind the presidential seal, the Republicans would’ve lynched Obama on the lawn of the white house

    He actually did take the oath without putting his hand on a bible and they did try to make a big deal about it.

    John Roberts messed up the oath during the inauguration and they had to redo it later.

    During the do-over there was no bible: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_inauguration_of_Barack_Obama

    He was probably afraid of getting struck by divine lightning or something like that if he touched a Bible while uttering the words with no intentions to follow them.

    As if they actually cared about such matters. It would have only been just another excuse to stoke moral panic and outrage as red meat for their rabid base.

    It’s exactly the sort of cynicism that, by design and intent, leads to apathy and fascism

    This is just the childish act of crossing your fingers when you make a promise. He didn’t put his hand on the Bible because he isn’t planning on presiding faithfully, and he has absolutely no intention whatsoever to preserve, protect or defend the Constitution of the United States unless it benefits him personally at the time.

    It’s the ceremony organizers’ fault for neglecting to bring a bible small enough to put his hand on.

      Trump broke with tradition and didn’t put his hand on the Bible during his inauguration.

      One might expect to hear conservative Christians squawking about it, but they have been notably quiet.
