Discussion: Trump's Fiery Speech To Boy Scouts Inspires Parental Outrage

That was with the Gold Package Speech. A “How To” DVD for sexual assault gets mailed to scout’s homes in a plain brown envelope.

Completely inadequate.

As affecting as is this part of Cabaret, that song was written for the movie by a gay Jewish composer.

It’s not just the LDS. Lots of scout troops are church affiliated.

No kidding. There was nothing at all in the article to support the headline, “…Inspires Parental Outrage”. Really? I saw no mention of that in the article. One milquetoast quote from a Democratic Senator? That’s not ‘inspired parental outrage’!!

TPM, please don’t start using “click bait headlines” like that here. I already stopped visiting HuffPost for doing that… I thought I was safe here!

And the Catholic Church …

If you need to cleanse your mind after watching trump’s garbage speech, here’s how a real President addresses the BSA:

Thank you. Just look how presidential he is.

Shame on the BSA for hosting a man that publicly, proudly, aggressively flouts all of the tenets it sets for developing young men.

As a Mormon with a son in Boy Scouts my reply to you is to get bent. I am not a Trumpanzee and I am offended by his actions. One group supports Trump and that is deplorables and they come in all groups.

Despite their tepid objections, the BSA would love nothing more than to become the Trump Youth Corps, readying their righteous young men to “do Trump’s work” and MAGA.

The path America is on right now is as obvious as can be. Anyone who fails to see it is complicit i the process.

This will not end well. For anyone. Anywhere.

I love how Obama White House photographer Pete Souza has become a master troller.

Yes some parents were upset and I doubt very much that the BSA wants to be the Trump Youth.

I don’t think he has any concept of the principles and values of anything worthwhile in American society

Is there a merit badge in Damage Control?

Yes, that struck me too. So odd. Unaware of his surroundings or his audience. It’s as if standing in front of a large crowd triggers some primal instinct in him to regurgitate all the high points of his life, to launch into a self-congratulatory mantra and repeat his favorite phrases in no particular order, relevant or not.

I’d be very surprised if the BSA does not repudiate this weird and completely inappropriate rant. How embarrassing for them.

I dunno. But I do know Dorito Duvalier is the only POtuS in history with a merit badge in treason.

All he does is rave like the lunatic he is about his endless grievances. He’s doing it again - I just got a CNN news bulletin - he’s attacking Sessions again in a presser.

He’s so fucking nuts!

He starts out by swearing in front of young kids and then segues into reminiscing about coke fueled orgies in 1970’s New York society. Surreal obscenity aside: how can any alleged Christian countenance such disgraceful antics? We know Trump is sick and incapable of taming his demons but what’s their excuse? Parents who allow their children to remain scouts after this clearly have no values to speak of.
