(197,192 posts)Not only is it sexist but they started playing that after last formation when I was in the Army. 90-93.
We didnt know what to do - at attention? Parade rest? Once it was determined that we could just stand there we asked do we HAVE to stand here and listen to this crap? (Not that we could avoid it - it was blaring over the speakers) We made a point of loudly cussing and walking away.

If tomorrow all the things were gone I'd worked for all my life
And I had to start again with just my children and my wife
I'd thank my lucky stars to be livin' here today
'Cause the flag still stands for freedom, and they can't take that away

(32,354 posts)All that green shrubbery covers up the full, malignant parking lot appearance of trump's desecration. And those umbrellas are a lot more amusing when closed up, making them appear like big golden dicks.

(65,979 posts)the orange asshole in the White House but him being 25 years younger.
it would basically be a pedo frat party.
Paladin
(32,354 posts)But that would be fucking stupid of us, wouldn't it?
Javaman

(109,269 posts)No I am not proud to be an American while I watch this worthless fucking asshole and his goon squad usurp all of the power while destroying our freedoms and sticking the military on innocents in order to look good on prime time cable news. Fuck right off with all that shit. Fuck Donald Trump and fuck Lee Greenwood.

Celebrate on your local White House patio!!
Yes, it is legal for women to be topless in Washington, D.C. GoTopless.org reports that DC law does not prohibit female toplessness in public. This aligns with the stance of other states and cities that have decriminalized or legalized female toplessness.
