(6,398 posts)....think saying the pledge every day in school is a bit coltish and odd. I'll let everyone else draw their own conclusions from that.

(3,669 posts)That is probably the most pathetic thing I've ever read. Yea, right, he does that. If so, at the very least, he's abusive to his children. But no, I don't believe a word of it. And if it's true, best new fiction character out there. He would be so much fun to follow. Damn I feel sorry for his kids either way.

(3,167 posts)He says the pledge to his children? That makes no sense - the pledge is said to the flag.
I dont think Ive ever met one person who says the Pledge of Allegiance at home!
And the Lords Prayer is usually a communal prayer that is said in unison at church, but then again the Trumps dont really know anything about church, do they? 😆😆

(54,414 posts)Her English was very good, but not completely fluent. She was 16, and was totally bewildered by the "ritual chanting" the kids did every morning. I said, are you sure? Ritual chanting in a Texas public school? What do they chant?
She said it was something long that sounded like it began with "I spread the peaches." Her English was good, but she had never heard the words "pledge" or "allegiance" before, and had no earthly clue what was going on. Since all the other kids in the class went along, and became normal again once the chanting was done, she was too shy to ask any of them what in the world they were doing.
Thats adorable!

And to the injustice, for which it stands,
One station, shunned by God, indefensible,
With Hannity, disgusting for all.
