Why did the felon refuse to swear on the Bible?

Courts do it all the time.
I know,....WHY? When you think about it it is kind of insane. " Here,...put your hand on the very book that says never to swear an oath,....... then SWEAR AN OATH!?????? " :thinking: Now,...does that make any sense to you?

I was never a fan of it.

The idea is to make them compliant to God or else.

It's to make them more truthful under God.
 
He could have asked. :dunno:
He could have made Roberts look bad by stalling until he was ready with hand on bibles.....and I also question why I have not seen Trump calling out Roberts after the fact...and why he looked so pleased as he shook Roberts hand.
 
It's the idea.
But its stupid. It's like saying,.....Here, I want you to go have sex with your neighbors wife but hold your hand on the Bible while doing it,...then it makes it good" :laugh: nawwwwwwwwwww,....there's something REALLY wrong with it and IMO it is PURPOSELY nefarious. I say that because its the only thing that makes sense.

Good thing Trump didn't place his hand on the Bible or else. :laugh:

He didn't refuse. Melania had two Bibles with her, but was still trying to get situated when Roberts started the swearing in. Simple as that. Try not to shit yourself over every little thing. Take John Fetterman's advice and pace yourself.
How did trump mess up such a simple thing as swearing on a Bible? Is he really that incompetent?

You are probably right about trump doing this out of incompetence, and nothing more. Napoleon was about to be crowned by the Pope, as all good Catholic Emperors were supposed to be, when he grabbed the crown out of the Pope's hand, and crowned himself. It was a statement of strength and power, or what most would say was hubris...

Attributing such thought to trump is just plain silly. he is literally incapable of the complex thought.

He didn't, Justice Roberts rushed the oath. Haven't you been paying attention?

I never said that.

This has nothing to do with Napoleon.

You're projecting.

I think we have more agreement than you want to admit. A competent president elect would have told Roberts to wait up while he gets his Bible. Had Roberts realized how incompetent trump was, he would have slowed down and made sure that trump was ready before starting.

Neither took into account that trump is a sad old man, who cannot even do an Oath Of Office correctly, and so now we have the first president to have not taken The Oath on a Bible.

Maybe it is time to just admit the Bible was not that important in the first place?

This has nothing to do with Napoleon.
They are both megalomaniacs, but Napoleon often had the talent to backup his actions. And he did not blame the Pope for him grabbing the crown out of the Pope's hand.

Have fun in liberal la la Land, and you might as well just get used to losing. I choose to stay here in the real world. Have a nice day. :)
