your butthurt is showing again...at least he went and spoke to them...unlike owebama
If he had won the popular vote I would agree with you.Elections. He doesn't **** those up.

If a frog had wings.....If he had won the popular vote I would agree with you.
It's embarassing how unplugged he is from our culture.

Have you actually read what he said to a bunch of 12 yr old kids trying to get merit badges in archery and fishing? Health care bill?fify
Seems like he nailed it for the Scouts that were in attendance.

He has no clue
Surbaugh's apology was a prudent move for BSA. Dumb shit's speech was a disaster.Nope, doesn't concern me. All I saw was his entrance to chants of "USA". Get off your duff and do something useful rather than obsessing about your president of the next 7.5 years.
I'd bet just being there went a long ways toward earning a Civics merit badge.merit badges in archery and fishing?

Anyone who thinks that talking about making tons of money and having the "yacht life" at a boyscouts gathering embodies the sentiment that the scouts stand for is sadly warped. There are many things in life that should be placed above personal success. The sacrifices made by millions of young American soldiers, for one. The scouts main goal is to teach developing young men that we should commit to something higher than ourselves. For Trump to talk about his personal achievements, glorify money and personal success, and even mention loyalty to HIM and not country.....he was creating a current that flows against the important sentiment that jamboree is intended to create.
Whether this was strategic and deliberate, or simply a byproduct of Trump's ego overshadowing his vision, appreciation, logic, and judgement I'm not sure. But I am sure that he did a disservice to the scouts, the boys, the parents of those boys, and the nation.

It's so great that you know how to copy and paste. I think that's great. Now let's try to use your computer to look up and read information that helps you have an opinion that isn't spoon fed to you. Ok? Do you feel up to that today, big boy? Whose a big boy?Mission Statement

Ok. And I'm wrong, why?You must be mistaking me for someone who cares what you think.
I offer my opinion here quite a bit. But when you're wrong, I'll make sure to point that out.
Ok. And I'm wrong, why?
Actually many of actions through the course of a day are motivated by my commitment to my God and my Country, thank you. That post just shows your self righteousness. But more specifically, any time one puts on a uniform--- that's a good sign that your focus should be on the collective good, rather than your own achievement. No one seeks to destroy individuality and personal success. Despite what you think, I am not a communist. But the ego, winning at all costs, Johnny badass, mostest/ bestest, alpha dog mentality is prominent enough in our society. Trump could have shelved the ego laden tirade for a speech in front of the scouts. He should have spoke to duty ---- gee, I think that word was probably in the copy and paste post you made.Unless you're taking the clause of "duty to God and country" and saying that's the something higher, you're wrong. I doubt if you intend God and country. That's not you.

Yes it is. It's actually been quite a time passer these last 8 months. To a liberal on this board, they've all behaved exactly like the obsessive right did during the Obama years. Doesn't matter how slight or severe, it was all angst all the time, just as it is now.But libs are flailing at anything and everything, and it's fun to pick apart nowadays.
Really though? If you think Russia is a scam....I understand thinking focusing on that is ridiculous. But his tweets? The travel ban? Mooch? Even if you take his general actions and statements out of the mix, there is plenty there to be legitimately concerned about as an engaged American. It's not all motivated by sour grapesYes it is.

As if they ever had to overlook Obama saying he liked to grab pussies, mocked the disabled, called McCain a loser, denigrated a Gold Star family and then we just told them to get over it. Hard to understand folks who overlooked all that and still voted for him.Really though? If you think Russia is a scam....I understand thinking focusing on that is ridiculous. But his tweets?

Spoken like someone who truly knows everything. I don't know why I even try to learn and read....now on, with this access to the absolute source of right.....I'm just going to follow your posts, and consider myself tapped into what right for me.His tweets are ridiculous, but meaningless. That's the low hanging fruit, basically out there for anyone that wants to feel outraged to be outraged.
The travel ban? I support, 100%. I don't even understand the push back on this to be honest, you all look like morons.
Immigration initiatives? Battle with sanctuary cities? I'm 100% with Trump and I'm saying that as someone who has an illegal from Mexico doing my landscaping and an illegal from Peru performing maid services.
Mooch? I'm guessing Scaramucci? Doesn't move the needle. This is a prime example of the left's ability to be outraged at anything.
Russia? Clearly there isn't anything there if they've moved on to financials. They are fishing now. The left doesn't care what it's for, they just want him to go down and it's really fun when you can get a liberal to admit it. As soon as they do, it lets you know exactly their concern with Russian collusion, they have none. They have concern with Trump in the WhiteHouse.
You really have a problem with Alpha personalities. I find it comical.Spoken like someone who truly knows everything.

I'm not for the ban. I'm for whatever vetting measures a President chooses to implement. I'm not for an official policy of exclusion for refugees or those seeking freedom from any nation.
"Low hanging fruit"? Please. A President's statements should always be taken seriously. To treat his statements as equal to other tweeters in weight, that's just fvcking ridiculous.
This Mooch guy is a fvcking joke. I think this was a horrible hire, and likely the move that destroys his ability to operate effectively on the hill. But hey, he's an alpha right?
Immigration reform? Sanctuary cities? I'm not against measures being in place to prevent the problems that have arisen. But I like the idea that Athe US provides a pathway to improvement for many in South and Central America.
See it as so or not. The man is not a great leader, he is not great at political football, and he is not the champion so many think he is.....if he continues to be the flag bearer for the GOP, the blowback will be bigger than what happened in the wake of Obama. Unless the economy performs at rates double his proclaimations.

I personally think we put American needs and American interests first and foremost and then if we have the means to assist elsewhere we do, but never at the expense of American needs, ideals, culture, history, prosperity, sovereignty, etc. I believe in that throughout the world.
We have different ideas about what America stands for I imagine. I also imagine we have more that overlaps in our definition of American values than stand in contrast.You really have a problem with Alpha personalities. I find it comical.

I don't consider loudmouths as an Alpha. I consider someone who is willing to stand up to adversity, willing to make a decision on imperfect information, and someone willing to take a leadership role amongst a group of leaders as an Alpha.We have different ideas about what America stands for I imagine. I also imagine we have more that overlaps in our definition of American values than stand in contrast.
Most "alphas" I've met, are basically fake loudmouths.....that shrink like bitches when it's time to step to the line. Lately, I've met many women that have larger "balls" than many "alpha" types I've known. And I think strength is sometimes exhibited in silence and support of others and leadership is sometimes exhibited in humility. But to many being an "alpha" means you ALWAYS wear the mask. Makes me nauseous.
I have taken great pleasure in busting "alphas" in the mouth, and watching them fade into nothing over the years. Even taken pleasure in the beat downs I've received when meeting the real thing too.
Especially amongst a group of leaders, the leadership role should be equal parts lead and listen.I don't consider loudmouths as an Alpha. I consider someone who is willing to stand up to adversity, willing to make a decision on imperfect information, and someone willing to take a leadership role amongst a group of leaders as an Alpha.
