I didn’t watch or listen to the speech as he gave it, but I am more disturbed by the applause he got. I doubt it was the usual crowd of toadies he brings to his speeches to cheer him on–it sounded too full throated for that. I hope it wasn’t the scouts or the scoutmasters. That was as disturbing as the excerpts they showed on the news.

Oh no, it was all of them. Booing Obama (who was in the boy scouts). Booing Hillary. Chanting “USA! USA!” after this disgusting sack of crap talked about repealing Obamacare.

Afterwards, scout leaders led them all in a nice, time-honored youthful activity:

The sun on the meadow is summery warm

The stag in the forest runs free

But gather together to greet the storm

Tomorrow belongs to me

The branch of the linden is leafy and green

The Rhine gives its gold to the sea

But somewhere a glory awaits unseen

Tomorrow belongs to me

The babe in his cradle is closing his eyes

The blossom embraces the bee

But soon, says a whisper

"Arise, arise, tomorrow belongs

To Me

If there was still any doubt our president finally proved that he is best described as a POS. We hear that he is lowering the bar for future presidents, but you can’t get the bar below ground level, and it has been there for some time. My concern is that there will be no “next president”.

Parents of Boy Scouts who disapprove of this, please vote with your feet. This can’t go on.

He just can’t help himself. When he’s in front of mostly Caucasian boys in uniform he has to go full on fascist.

The problem is that over the past 30 years, one organization has become the supporter of the majority of Boy Scout troops: the Mormon Church.

Augh. I knew the English founder of the scouts was a fascist, but I had higher hopes for the American version. Sad!

It’s fair and appropriate to castigate LDS for many political reasons, but full-throated support of Donald Trump is not one of them.

The BSA has intentionally stepped in muck many times in the past, only to later claim it didn’t realize how icky the muck was.

Any organization that invites Trump to speak knows what it’s getting.

Trump has no boundaries. A terrible trait for someone in his position.

He also doesn’t respect the office.

Perhaps there will be a rerun of this at the State of the Union address next January. Dementia for sure, the filter is gone.

The formal association between LDS and BSA is about a century old.

Thought he was addressing the Hitler Youth?
