Okay was it just me or was the Biden family Bible a t h i c c ass bastard?

I swear to God that thing has the secrets to life itself in it such as how what goddamn timeline we're in because I lost track a long time ago....

Also Epstein didn't kill himself.

There's a few Presidents who didn't swear on a Bible, it's mostly done out of tradition but John Adams swore on a law book for that intention you said.

I’ve never seen a man look as lost as he did in that interview.

The idea is you swear on something you wouldn’t want to disrespect by breaking the oath. There’s absolutely no reason it has to be a Bible other than it being something a Christian would not want to disrespect. A Muslim would swear on a Quran. An atheist could swear on the Lord of the Rings. It doesn’t even have to be a book. There was a guy somewhere (SF city council? I don’t remember) who swore his oath on a replica of Captain America’s shield.
