Milei was there. If you were looking at the assembly, he was at the far right, in the back row.

He's leaving DC to head straight over to Davos for the beginning of the WEF (it started today). I bet he'll have some choice words for the globalists when he gets there.

Probably both (or either), depending on where in NASA you are.

Commercial Crew Program is probably going to do it. If you're on the NASA side of the development with Commercial, you're probably ecstatic. If you're on the NASA development side or with the traditional mil contractors who are in competition with SpaceX for it, you're probably breaking out the good stuff from the desk drawer right now.

There is no constitutional requirement that the President's hand be on a Bible to take the oath.

The new presidential term begins at noon exactly. The oath doesn't have to be taken then exactly, just that it must be taken before the new POTUS exercises any powers of the office.

The oath was taken at 12:01 PM by my clock. They were running late for some reason. Took too long with all the speechifying and stuff.

Posted by: AlaBAMA at January 20, 2025 01:30 PM (nyTxL)

502 There’s no requirement in the constitution that the president elect place his hand on the Bible. So his oath is legitimate. Roberts royally screwed that up. Which shouldn’t surprise anyone. He should have just waited for a couple seconds then asked Trump to raise his right hand and place his left hand in the Bible. He just blurted out raise your right hand before Trump even got to the dias. Then started reciting the oath.

609 No; I don't think Justice Roberts would deliberately rush in order for Trump not to put his hand on the Bible. I think he was just nervous. Yes; it would nice IMO to have Trump swear on the Bible, but it's not a court case and Trump said "So help me God" and I think he belives it. He also mentioned God and faith several times in his speech so I think it's o.k.

619 Used to be that Popes basically ascended when their families had lots of money...which meant armies. This was before the College created itself and an orderly transition.

Anyway, consider Benedict IX, 11th century. He wanted the Papacy and pretty much took it. But he was, well, of the secular and was such a jerk that the Church wanted to get rid of him. So he basically accepted a bribe to resign and along came Sylvester III. Then Benedict changed his mind about the Papacy and basically deposed Sylvester. Benedict AGAIN changed his mind and ceded the Papacy to his Godfather, Gregory IV.

Benedict, being a jerk, decided to go to war with Gregory to get the Papacy again. Meanwhile, Sylvester is coming back saying he's the real pope. At the end it took Henry III to tell them all to fuck off and we got Clement II.

It wasn't until much later (around the Western Schism IIRC) that the cardinals got together to use Conclave to select the pope....

She really did Barack dirty. It was totally classless of her. Awful woman. After I told my BIL who isn't American and didn't pay super close attention to politics, he kept going on and on about how terrible it was of her to do it.

I don't think she did it just to snub Trump. I think she has it out for Barry.

Disgraceful.

I believe she is a Republican Senator or Congresswoman. The co-chair of the joint Congressional Inauguration Committee or something, with Klobuchar representing the Dems.
