Daniel “Danica” Roem, the first “transgender” state representative in U.S. history, won election to a new office last November and shared in a recent interview his intention to be sworn into the Virginia Senate with his hand on a heavy metal album rather than the Bible, as is tradition.
Roem, a male Democrat who identifies as a woman, defeated incumbent Republican Bob Marshall for his seat in the Virginia House of Delegates in 2017, an upset celebrated by LGBT activists. Last fall, Roem won his race to move on to the state Senate. (snip) “I will be getting sworn in on a 1988 vinyl copy” of his favorite Metallica album,

This is bad, but not nearly as bad as the homosexual pedophile pervert head of the Fairfax County School Board taking the oath on a stack of degenerate homosexual porn.

Completely unacceptable. Either on a bible or your states constitution. NO pop junk. Which is what it is, junk.

So I love Metallica but this is not right. I don't think their former guitarist Dave Mustaine would like this at all.
He's a devout Christian.

These people are not sane, their overt and highly unpredictable mental illness makes them unfit for office, duty, or employment in any workplace for that matter.
There mere presence creates an unsafe work environment, and puts them, their employer and other employees at risk.

If the Democrats are going to make a mockery of their oath, refuse to seat them.
Have them take their oath on the Constitution, which by their word, they are swearing to uphold, in any case. If they refuse, then refuse to seat them.

When you can’t hold a real job in the private sector, there's always room in government, especially this current government!

Disgusting. And it's likely not the most egregious way that somebody will deface their creator's image today, Lord have mercy.
Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One,
Have mercy on us, and on the whole world.

She/He/It is 32yo, the album is 36 years old. Favorite music from before they were born.
"Roem loves “death metal” and sings in the thrash-metal band Cab Ride Home, whose biggest hit, “Drunk on Arrival,” is a wild anthem about getting plastered.
His “death metal” devotion runs deep. “The metal community … is as much a part of my personality as everything else,” he admitted. “It’s a lifestyle. It’s the aesthetic that you have. It’s the personality that you put on display. It’s the way that you talk to your friends. … The lyrics inspire part of your life. The music tells your story.”
Some of his favorite groups include Cannibal Corpse, Dark Tranquility, and Life of Agony. Roem doesn’t shy away from associating himself with the infamously rebellious lifestyle. “Just because I sing in a heavy metal band while spinning my head in circles and getting paid to do it, why can’t I run for government?”
But the metal lifestyle has had its effect on the guitarist. “I’m probably a lot more vulgar that most people when it comes to public office, I’ll give you that,” he told Vice."(Note that even Vice refers to him as....Him/He)

I have to say.... in the photo of DANIEL, he looks like death warmed over --- he doesn't appear to be healthy at all. But then perversion often leaves its mark on the body.

I'll call this creature what it is..... a freak. Its election is a mockery of the state legislature. Is Virginia a serious state?

It doesn't really matter what they swear on. They have no intention of following the law for of any kind of vow to the public good. They think taking an oath is just a formality and should in no way hinder what they want to do.

So it seems this person does not take this whole thing very seriously.
Yet, will still be required to recite the oath "to protect and defend the U.S. Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic" which is a serious matter.
Or, should be to everyone who has an elected position (even your local city commissions take the same oath, if you were not aware).

I knew the democrats were at the bottom of the barrel looking for people to join their party, but it looks they're actually below the bottom of the barrel.

Here in Ohio, the new Muslim mayor of Akron was sworn in with his hand on a Koran. I asked my lawyer friend about that and he said they can be sworn in with their hand on anything they want. My friend is a former assistant prosecutor and also stated that in court some people have a religious objection to being sworn in with their hand on anything.
