Doesn't that literally go against the separation of church and state?

 

"God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the earth."

 

"god blesses those that are poor"

what does Trump do?

 

I thought the exact thing. I mean, it's really long. Did nobody tell him that's not how you wear a tie?

 

Apparently no one is giving attention to the fact that a lot of republicans didn't show up.

 

DBJ are gonna be mad but...I have to say it heh

Sure, but that's another thing on the list for them to complain about. I know they're already stubborn, or they start crying "FAKE NEWS" but it's gonna make me sound like a brat that's defending violent behavior. Besides, there are people in these shops and you don't know what they're going through or who they are or what they think. I don't want to put innocent people in harm's way. I just keep thinking of ways we can all move forward together and I think a huge part of that is trying to get more people, NOT LESS, on the truly 'right' side.

But it has to start with mutual understanding and listening, and not stubbornness or "omgz y u upset with me? ur attacking me, im leaving the convo" (that literally happened when i called out my friend for following Milo and uh...i forgot who else it was besides sh0e...on instagram. she was like "ur upset with me so bye" and i was VERY adamant in continuing the convo, saying i was NOT upset, and i didn't let it just randomly end there. people don't get that just randomly leaving conversations just makes things 1000x more awkward, cuz ur leaving a conflict unsolved, and it's totally unnecessary).

I know, I KNOW people get tired of repeating themselves. Trust me. I do of all people, and I find it offensive that random people just come in here telling me off for actually doing that, even after all they've read in here....I mean really? You HAVE to be privileged to think that. Anyway, my point is, the more people who give up the more we continue to lose.

 

It really seems like that reading from Matthew was intentionally anti- everything Trump has ever stood for.

 

How many prayers are they gonna read? This is weird.

A wise anarchist once told me in his poetic writings that freedom is not an achievable goal, rather a lived experience, that we feel when participating in clandestine and violent acts against the establishment. Tagging will make you feel free, smashing a window will make you feel free. Yelling FUCK THE POLICE with a crowd will make you feel free. Simple acts with no meaning, except the meaning that comes with the anarchist reaction and the anarchist tension.

...

Finally, it isn’t about looking good. We are not politicians, we do not have to care about being presentable or respectable. We are anarchist for crying out loud! We state within our name alone that we are against all this society stands for, is it any wonder why they shame us? As if your union strikes are as well liked as teenage rioters. Both are presented as parasitic scum, damaging the core of this society. Both are presented as something to not follow and join in on, yet for some reason people do anyways. Why is that? Because either people will like us, or they will not. Treating ourselves like show dogs, making sure all the hair is trimmed and fluffy and cuddly, will not change a goddamn thing because at the end of the day we are still a show dog who’s only reason for existence is to garner money for their owner.

 

Yeah, my mum is instead focusing on the Republicans who DID by saying "lolz! see! they attacked him, but they're here now."

I want to scream.

Nobody can stop me from having a beer with dinner today. Or at least, half a can.

 

Would love to see what happens if a non-Christian is ever elected.

EDIT: Well, an openly non-Christian one at least. We DID already have Obama.

 

I feel sick hearing "in the name of Jesus Christ", are you kidding me?

Lord, please help me get through the next 4 years. Amen.

 

As if Trump is Christian?

 

there was an ELI5 on reddit this morning (specifically about swearing on the Bible, but I think the point still holds) in that it's not required, and really just holding a tradition (that carried over from the colonies being founded for religious reasons) from the first inaugurations.

 

Hey, I didn't say he was PRACTICING lol

 

It'll prob only happen if there's communism or the rich religious psychos die

 

this is SO fucking strange

 

No, I mean really, haha.

 

I think Barron just wants his gameboy

 

I can't even take sarcastic joy in seeing how little his turnout is. Because apathy let that little fucking fringe group of reprobates and morons take the wheel of the whole country. See how tiny it is? Jesus.

 

I find the thought that someone of Trump's means bought his son a Game Boy, rather than a New Nintendo 3DS XL, to be pretty humorous. Also totally in-character for him.

 

This reminds me of Bioshock Infinite
