Discussion: Trump Gets Do-Over With Youth After Panned Boy Scouts Speech

Well said. A common thief, self-confessed sexual predator holds himself up as a role model for the next generation of leaders. The American Legion should be ashamed of themselves. I speak as a veteran.

A Gremlin would be more appropriate.
Many Pintos (like mine) lasted at least 150K and did not catch fire.

Here is Boy Scout Contact.

I emailed and complained.

Pass it on!

But the most important question to be asked: Did Barack Obama ever address this group?/s

Melania better keep an eye on him.

Trump’s scouting outing was one of the most exposed and embarrasing events in modern Presidential history. He tapped the adolescent amygdala as if he lives there himself.
It really brings a profound question to mind.

Is Trump corrupting these organizations, or is he just exposing how far they really are from their own creeds with their real deeds?

Why do they have to poison so many young minds with ideological hatred in the process?

There’s the real Trump story, that there are EXTREMELY profane things going on that are perverting some of our most cherished institutions…

But, now the case can be made that Trump is exposing The Big Lie at every level, even in our most naively cherished institutions.

Maybe we need to look closer at the Scouts and their entire process, I have been both a leader and a scout and I have stories to tell they want untold.

Personal stories, about people close to me, so I keep them to myself in respect for them. But most of you know where this goes. There is an unseemly element historically entwined in that organization that is more than a little troubling, one we’ve seen before in other authoritarian constructs similar to the Scouts.

Trump may not be corrupting nearly as much as he is exposing existing corruption, and the fact that some of those institutions had problems in the first place, and Trump just fit their mold so well, they don’t realize how acquiescing to him at all represents that fundamental failure of code and creed in the first place.

How did the Scouts descend to this place in the first place? Why are they cheering Trump’s delusional elation?
The Fellows at the CIA weren’t so willing to cheerlead when he did it to them. Clearly, these young men are not nearly as wise and much more impressionable.

I won’t talk about the personal stuff any more, I’ll leave it at that, but this may be a good time to talk about how Trump is exposing the soft underbelly of right wing brainwashing in our nation… those boys didn’t get those boos from each other, they learned it from someone else.

There are abundant links available to prove my concerns aren’t unreasonable, or reactionary, but I’ll just leave it where it is for now, unless someone wants to challenge me…

See what happens when you expose young minds to lies and hatred?

The Truth rears its ever-ugly head in response and the results will be devastating for the scouts and their future recruitment… the only people they will attract are the children of racists and authoritarians.

oh, wait…

That is not something you will ever see from the leader of the Party of Personal Responsibility ā„¢

Nor any of his minions, but we already knew that.
It is, after all, the conservative way!

I’m beginning to agree with his dumbest advisors, for different reasons… Let Trump be Trump… it will all be over much sooner that way.

Even an adult woman would not want to be alone with him.
