Trump looks straight into the partial eclipse, like a freeking DOPE!

[BoyNextDoor]

Honestly you can't make shit like this up. What is the first rule of eclipse watching - ? Do not look straight at the eclipse!

A staffer had to yell "No Mr. Prsident!" - LO - fucking L

Maybe he thought because he is god the sun should worship him?

I saw that. He couldn't afford the special paper glasses.







Oh, right. He had them but maybe he forgot how to use them.

I have seen it mentioned, everywhere.

U.S. President Donald Trump looks up toward the Solar Eclipse while joined by his wife first lady Melania Trump at the White House.

(Yes, there are pictures.)

Is there something that he would not do ? USA embarrassed, again

Don't look!" shouted one of the Executive Branch staffers gathered on the front of the White House lawn to him, according to Wall Street Journal reporter Ted Mann.

Melanoma can't stay out in the sun too long, she will melt.

Our national role models:

* VP Pence touches the "DO NOT TOUCH" NASA display.
* Prez Tromp looks directly into a partially-eclipsed sun.

Why can' they just hold hands and jump together into an active volcano?

'Parody becomes reality’

"Even the president saw it, but—in a move that is not a complete surprise—he looked directly at the sun without any glasses. Perhaps the most impressive thing a president’s ever done.”

-Tucker Carlson
August 21, 2017

"Internet users were quick to point out the Fox News host was probably joking, but also recognized “parody became reality” with Carlson’s proclamation."

"Tucker Carlson is known for being a Trump cheerleader, like many pundits on Fox News. But after Donald Trump boldly stared directly at today’s solar eclipse for seemingly no reason, Carlson demonstrated that today’s punditry is so ridiculous that jokes are now impossible to judge."

Yes, that Tucker Carlson

"Trump Jr. was only gossiping."
"No collusion."

Now, we don't know that the Trump campaign and Russia agreed that Trump would give Russia favorable treatment as president in exchange for Russia's perpetration of hacking and propaganda attacks against Hillary Clinton. But if that agreement did take place, it would really make a lot of sense for Rinat Akhmetshin to have been one of the go-betweens who set it up.

You've surely heard the warnings already, repeatedly: Do not look at the sun without eye protection during this eclipse


"... if you're still tempted to peek — if you're, say, the type who asks, "But why shouldn't I stick this fork into this plug socket?" — it may help to hear from an eye specialist who has studied those rare people who do gaze right into the sun — typically because of a psychiatric condition, or as part of a religious experience — and suffer what's called a "solar burn" to their eyes."


"Light rays from the sun go through the cornea and the pupil of the eye," he says. "The cornea and the lens of the eye focus the light rays on the retina, and they come to the strongest focus at the center of your retina, in an area called the macula, which is where your best vision comes from. It's the only spot in the retina that's capable of seeing 20/20."

This intense light can damage the macula in two ways:

• "The most obvious one is having enough light energy get there, enough photons, that it creates heat, and the heat burns the retina. Many people, as kids, took a magnifying glass and a piece of paper and burned a hole in the paper using the magnifying glass. And that's what can happen to your retina by staring at the sun for even a few seconds."

• "And there's a second way you can damage the retina, and that's a photochemical reaction, where the retina does not get heated enough to be burned, but there can be bad things happening — in the little cells in the back of the retina that sense the light — from that much energy which cause them to die off."

People hundreds of years ago used their eclipse glasses. That's why we don't have a whole generation of blind people. Don't forget the eclipse isn't just in the U.S. Those 3rd world nations probably had glasses for their eclipse watching. 2 months salary for tinted 3-D glasses is a fair price to pay.

Remember to recycle. The bums on the street don't care if they are used or not. Their kids will be ready when the next one hits.
