A picture of arrogance at the top. Yeah, he doesn’t think he is King, right?
A picture of a man who can hold his own damn umbrella…and not shame the Marines into doing it for him.The simplest examples show the greatest differences.
All this shows is the bush was too stupid to claim all the perks of his Job…
That is you answer? Wow, talk about stupid. Bush had something called respect and humility. Obamoron abused his authority. Pretty pathetic that you know nothing of protocol and morality. What you need is a dose of reality, an education and about 13 weeks of military basic training…then you might know what it is like to be a Marine….although it is highly doubtful you would last 2 weeks. The perks of being POTUS do not include having someone hold an umbrella…the perks are living for free in the WH…eating for free…and making $400,000 a year. Grow up little kid.
Also Marines aren’t allowed to hold umbrelllas while in uniform, but you know, who cares? Not like our warriors deserve respect or anything.
I fucking hate this country.
WHY IS EVERYBODY SO FUCKING MAD
YOU NEED BOTH HANDS TO MAKE A SPEECH, BODY LANGUAGE IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS EVERYTHING ELSEHmmm so you need both hands to give a speech…so he HAS to have someone hold an umbrella for him? Really? That is your argument? So explain the pics below. Seems he can hold one and give a speech…so this proves it was just to show off for the Turkish Prime Minister. Want to know the difference? When he campaigns he wants to appear as one of the crowd..when he is President, he wants to appear pompous. It has nothing to do with giving a speech and needing both hands. That is one of the lamest arguments I have heard yet.
How the fuck did a hardcore republican blog find me?
I wonder how it feels to have the wool drawn so tightly over your eyes. To be so manipulated and distracted by the media that with everything going on in the world you choose to take issue with who’s hand is on an umbrella
That last comment is literally all that needs to be said

I tested Walmart’s brand of bottled water and I was shocked to see they sell the most toxic water ever. I tested for Total Dissolved Solids using a TDS meter and the number I got was 271. THAT IS THE MOST TOXIC WATER I HAVE EVER SEEN. Even NYC tap water TDS score is 39. Poland Spring is 42. The water is not even drinkable. I think it’s Criminal to even make profits from selling this water filled with sodium fluoride and who knows what else is in that. 500 ppm (parts per million) is the EPA Maximum but even though the FDA is corrupt their recommended is 000, which is pure.
THE ONLY BOTTLED WATER THAT READS 000 IS DUANEreade/Walgreens ‘NICE’ branded water.

USA TODAY:
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — An offshoot of the Occupy Wall Street movement has bought more than $1 million in old medical bills in this area and freed the debtors from the obligation of paying it off.
The New York-based nonprofit Rolling Jubilee fund says it is in the process of buying almost $12 million in outstanding old bills nationwide for pennies on the dollar in an effort to liberate debtors who often cannot afford to pay. And it intends to buy more as it gets more money from donors.
…..
The Rolling Jubilee Fund, an offshoot of the Occupy Wall Street movement, announced last month that it had bought $1.1 million in medical debt owed locally — including Logsdon’s — and freed the debtors from the obligation to pay it off.
But Logsdon, the first of those debtors to publicly identify herself, said she thought her delinquent $983 bill for back pain care had been paid by Medicare last year. That’s what her doctor told her, she said, after a 2011 dispute during which the bill had gone to a collection agency.
“I am very happy that somebody paid it,” Logsdon said in an interview last week from her home near Chickasaw Park. “In fact, I had quit worrying about it when we didn’t get any more notices that we owed it.”

The Humane Society of the U.S. gives just 1 percent of the money it raises to pet shelters and it doesn’t run any pet shelters. Most people who donate think their money will be spent on helping pets. Instead, the reality is millions of dollars every year gets sent to fundraisers, lawyers, and the pension plan.
Well, this SUCKS!
THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD ALWAYS DONATE TO YOUR LOCAL HUMANE SOCIETY SHELTER AND NOT THE BIG CORPORATION. DONATE LOCALLY AND THEY USE IT LOCALLY. PLEASE DO NOT STOP DONATIONS TO YOUR LOCAL HUMANE SOCIETY JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE NAME HUMANE SOCIETY.
Repost worthy.
Donate any funds, time and supplies directly to the shelters around you.

Angelina Jolie announces a double mastectomy to save her life, people get fucking pissed and act like she’s lost everything that’s made her worthwhile in the first place, AND YOU WONDER WHY I FUCKING HATE THE “SAVE THE BOOBIES” TROPE.
BECAUSE NO ONE ACTUALLY GIVES A FUCK ABOUT THE WOMAN’S LIFE. WOMEN JUST HAPPEN TO BE ATTACHED TO A PAIR OF BREASTS. WOMEN AREN’T WORTH SAVING—BUT YOU BET YOUR ASS THE PUBLIC WILL BE IN A RIOT IF A GOOD PAIR OF TITS IS IN DANGER.

So today Angelina Jolie had double mastectomy, which is the removal of one’s breasts, to prevent Breast cancer. So instead of praising Angelina on her bravery, men on Twitter decided to ridicule her, even calling her stupid for removing her breasts. For those of you on Tumblr that are attacking Feminists for being delusional about sexism against women and misogyny here’s your fucking proof that sexism and misogyny exists.

Philadelphia: High school students walk out of class and march to City Hall to protest severe budget cuts and planned school closings, May 9, 2013.
The budget cuts are absolutely horrific. Here are some of the proposed changes:
- Schools with more than 1,000 students would no longer be required to have librarians or librarian assistants.
- Schools would no longer be required to have counselors, and counselors’ caseloads would no longer be capped.
- Teachers could be assigned to unlimited classes outside their subject area, and high school teachers could be assigned an extra class without pay. There would be no limit on amount of consecutive time taught in a school day.
- There would be no limit on class size
- The district would no longer be required to provide copy machines, or “a sufficient number of instructional materials and textbooks.”
- Counselors would no longer be guaranteed to have rooms with privacy and confidentiality, a telephone, a locked filing cabinet and a door.
There’s more here.

Common Myths About Bisexuality from the lovely Webcomic “Jesus Loves Lesbians, Too” by bi blogger & author Maria Burnham (writer/memoirist) and Maggie Siegel-Berele (comic artist).
I usually don’t reblog stuff like this because this is my art blog but this hit close to home and reminded me of so many conversations that made me feel like garbage.
It always makes me see red when I see lesbians (and gay men) treating bisexuals this way. I don’t think I can even type too much more without quickly reaching a point where I just smash my head into the keyboard.

10 Things Most Americans Don’t Know About America http://bananenplanet.wordpress.com/2012/07/17/10-things-most-americans-dont-know-about-america/ (via curlycherie)
There are two areas where the USA is way out in front of the rest of the world: war and prison. The technology of killing is the main investment of US national energy, and of course the semi-public semi-private incarceration economy is flourishing while schools and roads crumble. In many other quality-of-life terms — housing, healthcare, public transportation, public access to technology, mental health support, support for people with disabilities, childcare, primary education, maternity support, social safety net — I think a lot of US Americans personally know that things are not exactly rosy but see no options for fixing it.

Share the news - Barack Obama is a war criminal.
Share the news - poor people don’t know what you’re talking about, we’re still jobless or over-worked & underpaid and yes, poor.
Share the news - it was a really bad idea for the White House to get a Tumblr. You are not welcome here.
Share the news!
Share the News: Under the Obama Administration, a 16 year old American citizen was killed by a drone bomb, and the same Administration continues to justify this.
Share the News: Barack Obama has signed away the 5th and 6th Amendments of the US Constitution with the passing of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)Share the News: Barack Obama has signed the Monsanto Protection Act, which allows for major companies to not tell you what is actually in your food. Funny, the guy really wants to cut out obesity, but then passes a bill like this.
But keep saying this man (and his entire administration) is great because he watched the Avengers or looked at a kid’s science project. Barack Obama is ruining this country, and just because he has a tumblr doesn’t make it any better.
Share the news, 22 veterans kill themselves everyday after the terror they’ve been coerced & manipulated into committing under the imperial, war-time leadership of Presidents Barack Obama & George W Bush! Share the news!
Share the news, 9.5 million people have left the labor force altogether since President Obama was inaugurated. The U6 measure of unemployment takes into account part-time workers and other individuals who are marginally attached to the labor market. That measure puts the real unemployment rate at 13.9%.
Thanks, Obama!
