Again PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can we have ONE thread about the PROTESTS, in one place?


Some are posting that info here--others on the "woo" thread--it's all over the map.


I really feel we'll need to follow this as the day goes on, and that it all needs to be together in ONE thread.


mods?

When trump finished speaking he turned around and shook the hands of obama and the other presidents except Bill Clinton. He totally snubbed him and Bill was back a little ways trying to get up to him and Trump just turned back around and moved on. priceless

That pic showing Obama clinging to the torch--he's REALLY proving it true right now.


He is ACTUALLY GIVING A SPEECH of his own---I don't need to be nauseous so am not listening to it (8 years of listening to him was ENOUGH)

but you'd THINK even HE would have the good sense NOT to try to up-stage, and steal the limelight from, the NEW President, when he is now NO LONGER the president.


But no---he has the bad taste to do what I do not remember ANY other President doing, in all my nearly-60 years.


He and Michelle are standing up there with martyred looks on their faces like deposed royalty....

I don't mind listening to 0bunghole's speech. IT'S HIS LAST ONE. That makes it sweet music to my ears. His hands are off the levers of power. I'm good with that.

He has no idea that when he said he changed the country not from the top down, but it happened from the bottom up....that he just blamed Trump's election on himself. LOL

Paul Ryan warning those who get pens Trump has signed with to "be careful because the pens will stain." If anyone knows about stains it's Paul Ryan.

#BREAKING: Anti-Trump protesters gather at #GoldenGateBridge.

In that city only about 60 people showed up to make asses of themselves on the bridge? I'm sure they plan on making a human barrier, we'll see how that works out. And only 6 radical exhibitionists who are generations removed from any slave they may have been related to chained themselves together with brand new, shiny clean chains (don't want to muss the threads)? Interesting, it appears there is less support than they expected, and of those who are present, how many are there because they got paid?

Truly, what is the percentage of people "protesting" per capita of their locales? And how many are there for money? Consider some folks just like to riot and are there to destroy whatever they can lay hands on, then pillage and go home. Were there a million in DC protesting?

I remember when I was in DC years ago, there was a big protest of some sort going on, abortion crap if memory serves, the media said there were 250,000 people in the Mall-there were around 4,000. Clever camera angles (ala shrillary's campaign stops) made it look crowded and it was, up front near the capital. No matter the facts, the media will always lie and present false info to embed garbage into the minds of Americans, and they're good at it.

Yes---I noticed it too.


Isn't that NORMALLY a part of the Presidential Oath of Office???

And since the AG DID NOT have him say that, can the LIBTARDS come back later and say, "HEY! You're not REALLY President! You didn't say the oath right!"


Bear in mind that this DID happen with Obama's first Oath of Office--he flubbed it badly and left out some of it. People were very concerned and wondered if that meant he wasn't truly "officially" President. We were "told" (and shown pictures of him with his hand on the Bible again in the Oval Office) that they had him "re-take" the Oath inside the WH, to get it "right"--but we never knew for sure if that was true.


Here we have the AG DELIBERATELY LEAVING OUT (?) part of the Oath---does that automatically de-legitimize Trump?


(and everything he does---he's already signing documents to undo O's Executive Orders)


Is this their "Ace in the hole"?

For history/memory's sake
Here is a text conversation with my mom this morning (side note I have had a horrible cold/cough for 2 weeks):

After Trump finished taking oath (at 9:02am pacific time) I texted her:

Me: Praise the Lord! What a glorious day!
MOM: hahaha! Are you feeling better? It's pouring here!
Me: No! Trump was just sworn in! (Then posted a screenshot of Trump during his speech)
MOM: Oh!!! That's right!!!!! Let's get this country straightened out!!! Yes!...

President Trump's hind quarters are warming a chair behind a desk in the oval office. The man has a pen in his hand and is busy already.

I could be wrong, but my understanding is that Presidents quietly take the Oath in private at 12:01 midnight on the day in question; the public one is just a repeat; that's because the President becomes the legal head of State at that time.

Now I am Not CERTAIN of this one; so if anyone knows for sure please chime in; in any event if a mistake is made, they just repeat it in private in from of Witnesses, it wouldn't be the first time.

The 35 words in Article II, Section I, of the Constitution read as follows:

"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

The presidential oath is the only one spelled out in the Constitution, and is the shortest. Interestingly, not included in the Constitution are the words used at the end by many presidents: "So help me God."

The government service oath is identical for anyone who joins the gov, be it military or elected. The ONLY oath that is different is the Presidential oath.

When I was entering office, I had the choice to write my own oath, I chose to not swear as I found it went against the Bible, and we did something else. Of course I later found out that I was illegally in office, and the lawyer who took my swearing in should have known that (I wasn't sworn in by the deadline-they apparently do what they want there, to hell with law).

I would think that Trump himself was responsible for leaving out the 'enemies foreign and domestic' portion of the oath, as I'm sure the oath was narrated from a document for both POTUS and VPOTUS.
