Thought you couldn’t hate Obama any more than you already do?  This is absolutely absurd.  Just the mere fact that he would ask (order) a Marine to do this shows he has no concept of respect.  Think this is photoshopped?  I got it from the CNN website.  It’s completely true.  Do a web search and you’ll see multiple sources.  This President is absolutely worthless.

Title ten of the Armed Forces US Code says that members of the military do what is asked of them by their  Commander in Chief.  The man next to them is the Prime Minister of  Hungary.  It would be bad show to let the rain fall on the head of a visiting diplomat, and any Marine on Presidential duty is honored to be there.  This is not about the umbrellas, it is about treating visiting dignitaries with honor and respect.  To only have an umbrella over the head of Prime Minister Orban would be a sign of superiority or strength over the visiting PM.  The president did the correct thing in the situation by showing enough respect for his fellow leader and giving them both an equal platform.

Y’all need to stop freaking the fuck out over stupid shit like umbrellas.

pls.

also he didn’t think he even needed the umbrella, thus resulting in this picture of him checking if it was even raining even more aka my favorite picture of him ever:

Speaking as the son of a former Army officer, OP’s post is even more disrespectful towards the Marine in the photo - and the US military in general - than it is towards the President. It shows that literally the only part of being in the military OP has respect for is the part that involves killing others and that is not the biggest part of the military by a long shot and is not the part of military service most members joined for. People join the military to serve the nation, and part of that is stuff like this. There is a reason active duty military do not and are not supposed to discuss their opinions of a President during that President’s term. The President is the Commander in Chief regardless of who they actually are. Republican, Democrat, third party, no longer existent party: it does not matter. Being art of the White House guard and the Presidential detail, especially when a foreign dignitary or leader is present, is one of the biggest honors in the military.

But it’s a fucking umbrella, so complaining about it in the first place is massively moronic.

Reblogged for the commentary, not for the original poster.

And also…

AND:

Yes, the Marines are often forced to get wet while standing outside the White House because they cannot hold an umbrella. Yes, the Marine Corps uniform regulations state a Marine cannot hold an umbrella. But Marine spokesman Capt. Eric Flanagan explained to the Washington Post that, according to Title 10 of the U.S. Code, Marines must “perform such other duties as the President may direct.” So when the President asks you to hold an umbrella over his head, you hold an umbrella over his head.”

And here’s a fun response from an actual Marine telling umbrella people to STFU.

umbrella marine is my favourite

Cleared of Charges of Setting Off a School Explosion, Florida Honor Student Heads to Space Camp
“The explosion struck a chord with 18-year NASA veteran Homer Hickam, a former lead astronaut training manager for Spacelab, and later for the International Space Station.
In the late 1950s, Hickam had a brush with law enforcement for allegedly starting a forest fire. State police came to his high school and led him and his friends away in handcuffs, but his high school physics professor and school principal came to the rescue, clearing him of wrongdoing.
Back then, schools did not have zero tolerance rules. Kids could make their mistakes without the threat of a criminal record, or serving time in jail.
“I couldn’t let this go without doing something,” Hickam said. “I’m not a lawyer, but I could give her something that would encourage her. I’ve worked closely with the U.S. Space Academy, and so I purchased a scholarship for her.”

YES.

YES!!!! YOU GO

The Original Broadway Cast of Disney’s The Lion King


Mufasa :: Sarabi :: Young Nala and Simba :: Simba :: Nala:: Rafiki :: Pumba and Timon :: Zazu :: Scar :: The Hyenas (Ed, Shenzi, and Banzai)

Probably the best costume designs for a musical I have ever seen. The combination of the puppetry along with their facial makeup and outfits is stunning.

MY FAVORITE BROADWAY SHOW! I cried real tears it was so beautiful.

a random reblog for one of the best shows ever on Broadway!

oh my god Scar

Tattoos and Other Easy ways to Ruin Your Body →

This is why we need feminism. What a misogynistic and clearly poorly educated moron! There is so much wrong with this I don’t even know where to begin. Having tattoos does not dictate the kind of person you are, nor does it define your worth. 

First of all this idiot is claiming that HIS opinion, is the opinion of every male in every society, which is beyond absurd. Tattoos, in many cultures, symbolize not only beauty, but spirituality. So that trumps his reasoning of “tattoos are symbols of prostitutes.” Tattoos have been used for thousands of years in hundreds of different places for many many reasons. Its amusing that Western society is just about the only one who demonizes tattoos and sees them as taboo, whereas the rest of the world in fact views them quite differently. 

ALSO, assuming that women with tattoos are “easy to conquer sexually with minimal effort” is not only complete bullshit, but extremely enraging. What you do with your skin does not determine your sexual preferences. So assuming that women with tattoos are “loose, easy and likely diseased” makes you the most idiotic person on the planet. That’s not old fashioned, that’s just moronic.

I could go on and on about this. The fact that someone else thinks they have ANY right to dictate what is attractive or right about another persons body is beyond wrong. This guy is clearly has some serious issues regarding women, and thats really sad to me because he came from one, and could possibly be a father to one some day. 

We need feminism because there are actually people who agree with this mindset. There are people who believe they are right, and we need to stand up and tell them just how wrong they are. 

IS this a fucking joke? This is infuriating.

i would love to beat him up.
