http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/338997/trump-boy-scouts-sex-yacht/Theres a lot to unpack in this address President Trump gave at the Boy Scout Jamboree in West Virginia on Monday night. A LOT. One of the highlights of the speech included Trump stopping himself from telling a bunch of children a ribald story about one of his rich friends.
Trump was telling a highly relatable story about how even wealthy people can be sad and unfulfilled when he hinted at the non-stop orgy his rich developer buddy and noted racist William Levitt apparently enjoyed after he made his bones.
[My friend] sold his company for a tremendous amount of money, Trump told the kids. And he went out and bought a big yacht. And he had a very interesting life.
Trump really leaned into the interesting in interesting life.
I wont go into any more than that cause youre Boy Scouts, Trump said. So Im not going to tell you what he did.
The president was met with uproarious howling and applause, so the kids clearly knew what he was talking about and were down to hear about a millionaires carnal fuck spree.
Ahhh, youre Boy Scouts, Trump said, but you know life.
Lord knows that Trump has plenty of ribald stories he could tell the scouts. Just ask Billy Bush.

(12,439 posts)My dad was a scout and a scout master until he died at the age of 93. He started a scouting museum in his town and they built a bench with a plaque in his honor after he passed, calling the museum his heart and soul. He would be so horribly disappointed and saddened by this abomination of a man and how he was allowed to use these children as his butt boys. Criminal.

How to fit into society.
Examples like this are not helpful for any Boy Scout not born a billionaire.

This event has my stomach turning.

(12,439 posts)Dad helped many boys to become decent men with good character, so unlike the vermin now occupying the White House. I'm sure your dad did as well. I feel badly that much of DU views scouting in a negative way and that certainly is the fault of dishonorable men who position themselves in organizations like BSA for nefarious reasons. Dad had a few choice words about them as well. But the good work that good people do must not be thrown out the window, either. That's how they win.
