I've been saying it for a while now - but, it's amazing how some of these Republicans grow a heart and a brain when they're no longer in office and/or no longer beholden to Congress - Kristol, George Will, Charles Krautammer, Ana Navarro, Jennifer Rubin, Rick Wilson, etc.

(56,829 posts)have been against Trump for a while, so I don't think it's about tax breaks.

(2,548 posts)followers are in danger. Take a look at the history and actions of the Hitler Youth. I'm not invoking Hitler but kids are very vulnerable to this kind of influence. If the scout masters and leaders approve of tRump publicly and encourage the "kids" to do so also, that's a problem. How are they going to explain to the kids that the person they cheered is a criminal and traitor?

Now they DO know that their behavior at that gathering was cheered by their mentors.
Gosh. That feels familiar to me... now where have I seen something similar before...

(52,791 posts)The "Duty to God" part of the oath has been very much interpreted in the fashion of the latest iteration of christofascists.
The GIRL Scouts, on the other hand, have refused to discriminate.

(11,571 posts)It has finally dawned on me that there will be no "floor" to this behavior, no end to his nasty arrogance. Just when you think rock bottom has finally been reached, heavy equipment shows up and breaks new ground.

(1,144 posts)Yes, the president is always issued an invitation, but they should have reconsidered in this case. Trump poisons everything he touches and his presence at the Jamboree made the whole organization look bad. People are already talking about pulling financial support.

(4,341 posts)that Trump is a regular Hugo Chavez, Benitto Muzolini, etc. the difference being that those had brains, Trump is more like a Nicolas Maduro, no brains but plenty of evil.
If the FBI/CIA don't administration take out from power and the Trump family to pay for what they have done, things will get really bad here. Once again, I urge everyone to read the book "It can't happen here" by Sinclair Lewis, written in 1935, you can get it for free on PDF at the Gutemberg Project. I am not sure how Lewis saw Trump in 1935, but he did.
What is Muller, etc. waiting for?
There was a opinion news cast in France, they were discussing the issues in Israel, and the main question was "How will this resolve with the USA out of the conversation?" They know Trump has no idea of global issues, no skills for governing, and no will to do it either, and it is the same with republicans, all they think is how to stay in power and put money in their pockets, they don't care who they screw on the way...to them it is just a "means to an end". These people lack sensibility and patriotism, people need to wake up because if this continues to go on, the results will be catastrophic.
