Farmer77 Posted August 21, 2017 Author #2 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I think this is my favorite : Quote This guy who just looked at the sun without glasses will be giving an address on the US strategy in Afghanistan tonight. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlitterRose Posted August 21, 2017 #3 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Those are hilarious. I loved this one... The solar eclipse is fake news. I can look directly at the sun with no problem. Believe me! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilly Posted August 21, 2017 #7 Share Posted August 21, 2017 A brief glance followed by using protective glasses is unlikely to cause harm. If it wasn't just a brief glance then I guess Trump will be needing a seeing eye dog....we'll see (even if he can't). 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashotep Posted August 22, 2017 #8 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I looked at it without glasses also. During the totality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilly Posted August 22, 2017 #10 Share Posted August 22, 2017 A quick glance isn't the same as 'viewing'. Trump's giving a speech now and he seems fine. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no different than glancing into the sun at any other time except that the "squinting" reaction isn't there. If it's only a glance, no problem. Like everything else, it's a big deal because - Trump. It's so old now that it doesn't even cause a rise any longer among his supporters. I have a feeling that 2018 is going to be a banner year for any politician NOT with a D by their name. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilly Posted August 22, 2017 #19 Share Posted August 22, 2017 The media will latch onto anything, literally anything to attack Trump. I googled 'Trump solar eclipse' and there were literally pages of stuff going after him over this.

I've only seen the article I posted and it isnt exactly a media driven one, just a collection of funny responses to him doing the thing which we heard a million times over the last week not to do. Its funny , lighten up guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilly Posted August 22, 2017 #21 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Google it...it was a literal feeding frenzy. Also, glancing at an eclipse for an instant simply isn't the same thing as viewing it. My neighbor had welding glasses and he glanced up in the sky to pin point the exact spot then put them on. This is because once you have those things on it's total black out.

Yikes i just looked , those were pretty vicious and no he definitely didnt "stare" at it. He just glanced up at it as if to offer the comedy gods a sacrifice. The ones I posted a link to were much more lighthearted in nature. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can look directly at the sun with no problem. Believe me! Yes, l also looked at the sun directly for about 1.30 seconds, phew about 35 years ago, when we had one in AU. This was after all of the hype and BS around special glasses and such. Then l looked indirectly at it for a few minutes. Pretty weird with the birds going quiet, suddenly. 12 hours ago, .ZZ. said: Photoshopped Or it was an ACDC concert! 4 hours ago, Lilly said: The media will latch onto anything, literally anything to attack Trump.

aztek Posted August 24, 2017 #25 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Rapper Cancels Shows After Saying He Didn't Need Eclipse Glasses. A hip-hop artist named Joey Bada$$ has been dubbed “Joey Badeyes” on social media after he bragged that he was going to watch Monday’s eclipse without protective eyewear ― and then abruptly canceled three upcoming shows. It’s unclear why the shows were actually canceled, but the coincidence has caught a lot of people’s attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
