Each separation of church and State? I was in the impression that the USA was a country that made people sweat on the bible to take a serment, that evocks God in its political speech and discours and even in its moto.

That comment is not sarcastic. I actually feel I miss something to understand the situation.

Swearing on the bible is a choice made by the individual being sworn in. The actual swearing is to the Constitution and the interests of the people. You could swear on a copy of The Origin of Species if you wanted.

The shit about having god on our money, motto, and pledge didn't come about until the red scare of the 1950s. A way to separate the country from the godless communists, and one of the earliest violations of separation of church and state that I'm aware of.

Maybe after religion has been abolished.

Maybe HE should worry about the separation of his head from his body.

Nah, first Amendment trump's Trump, regardless of his bullshit, he's a citizen. He can hold an opinion, just like that can be a dead fucking wrong opinion.

I wonder if any of the dumbasses that are still supporting donvict yet understand what this would mean?

Log Cabin twats like Peter Thiel? These motherfuckers will come for YOU eventually, Einstein. Same for the likes of Tammy Bruce - an openly gay lesbian won't be in a position of leadership, what kind of gawdly message is that going to send? The Libertarian dumbfuck techbros still underwriting this shit, that are also hard atheist? You too, motherfuckers! Fast talking fools like Ben Shapiro and Stephen Miller? You guys are Jewish! Are you kidding?

The loudmouth uppity women like Beetlebert and Marjorie Trailer Queen and Kristi "dog murderer" Noem and Karoline Leavitt? You too - the Babble bangers won't be having YOU ruling over men, what are you even thinking? Best you can hope for is marrying some powerful man that keeps a roof over your head while he bangs some younger handmaidens to raise a crop of kids with his superior genes.
