That was very impressive. You've heard that before. But here you learn the rewards of hard work and perseverance, never, ever give up. Never quit. Persevere. Never, ever quit. You learn the satisfaction of building a roaring campfire, reaching a mountain summit or earning a merit badge after mastering a certain skill. There's no better feeling than an achievement that you've earned with your own sweat, tears, resolve, hard work. There's nothing like it. Do you agree with that?

He left off 10 things that a Scout is ... helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent. Is Trump ANY of those things?

Don't forget the 13th point. A scout is hungry!

Was that only a thing in my troop?

Yes.

Troop 6 Quincy was weird.

All troops with single-digit numbers were weird. It is known.

I've never met a scout that needed to memorize and recite a reminder that he was hungry.

That would require the White House to actually do something. Still waiting on that...

They're toeing the line right now on creating a legal precedent that would resonate indefinitely. The steps they've achieved in regards to dininishing or distorting various important agencies will embolden future shitheads to do the same. Reducing press access, inviting and even praising fringe, literally fake news agencies, refusing to call out White violence against minorities...these are not inconsequential events.

It's not just the administration, either, but also the legislators who feel they have some cover and support to do the unthinkable. The health care vote...not the bill itself (is there one?), but the manipulations being used to hide and contort it...is the loudest example. But going after the budget office, for example, should be a huge red flag to anybody.

I can't remember, are you in STL proper? My uncle who lives in St. Charles was just here, and he said the Trump support is still fairly high there.
Trump is an outlier when it comes to this. Most of these moves have been universally unpopular and we have to see any sort of voter retaliation. The optimist in me says it is coming.
