So we do we think any executive orders will actually come down today?
Mal: Can I come in? Inara: No. Mal: See? That's why I usually don't ask.

What was the point of saying Jesus in all the different languages? It seemed odd to me, but I don't really have the context to figure out what he meant by it.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
He signed his cabinet into office. Does that count as an executive order? (and I'm not being facetious, I didn't know if we were counting that).
It would be so cool if he rolled up his sleeves and just started getting busy on day one.

Always Anti-fascist!
I thought "J-word" was meant to be irreverent, not offensive. But of course, there is a fine line, always. Which side am I on if I say it sounds like the disciples got a show on Showtime?

I honestly thought he was trying to make it more inclusive. And Islam does hold Jesus as an ancestral figure, same as Abraham, as far as I know, but using that to lead into the Lord's Prayer is what rubbed me the wrong way, because it's just so expressly and explicitly Christian -- as opposed to praying to god in general and just wrapping up with the "father, son, holy spirit" or similar.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I humbly apologize for the use of "J-word". Is was, as erikaj points out, meant to be irreverent. Sorry for the offense. Agnostic tin-ear.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I didn't watch Warren's speech or Lowery's. If prayer in public school is a violation of church/state separation, we shouldn't have it at Inauguration either. Period.

"Father, son, holy spirit" is also pretty explicitly Christian.

I'm going to go get dressed and wander around outside, see what the crowd is like.
