    Your contribution to this thread includes pictures:

    Red, white and blue Trump

    Comic book cover with Trump as the superhero

    Trump wearing a sombrero

    Bill O'reilly pointing his finger

    What any of this has to do with Trump's campaign rally at the 2017 Jamboree is unclear.

    If you are just taking a piss on Trump, that's no BFD. If you added some pithy, witty comment under the pictures, we can a half of a chance to figure out what you are thinking. But you posted four pics that mostly were off topic, left no comments and walked away. People get banned for less.

    By all means join the discussion.

    I realize this site has moderators and for good reason. What I don't understand is how "ban hammer" thirsty everyone seems to be.

    Y'all are so sensitive and serious about everything that you can't take two steps back to laugh every now and then.

    I sincerely apologize for derailing this intimate and informative discussion among educated political pundits. I'll go back to playing with my toy cars now.

    I love it when someone's argument is along the lines of "lol you take these interent debates seriously".

    K. Do you have a problem with that. I think I understand your horrible premise though. You think that being serious in a online debate form equates to the person participating having no life outside hence your last sentence.

    But that's kinda what high school kids whos only accomplishment is their parents sending them to boy scout troop meeting would say though.

    I understand this is probably a serious debate to some people, but really come off it.

    I get it. BSA is a racist, bigot organization that didn't want to accept gay kids. We are behind the times, and we don't stick to the national LGBT agenda. So nobody really likes us anymore.

    Back to the topic at hand. It really is a shame that those poor children had to listen to Trump's propaganda. I'm sure it will have a lasting impact on their psychiatric health. It really is a travesty.

    On to your personal attacks. I always find it fascinating that someone has the clairvoyance and audacity to proclaim they could possibly know anything about anyone from a simple internet blog account. I applaud your brilliance. Clearly you sir/ma'am are a modern day Ms. Cleo.

    We only have your posts do go by.

    Yes, I think Trump or the phenomenon of worshiping a incompetent idiot who understands everything in superficial terms just because "he says it like he means it" is a problem with our current youth.

    There is a growing trend of high school aged children worshiping Trump who are struggling in high school and look up to Twitch and You've celebrities. I'm pretty sure a portion of them are at that jamboree and think "this is what a president is supposed to look like".

    It's impressionable.

    Yeah, can't see the chafe but I always say, ask yourself: is the person earnestly sharing ideas lame, or is it the person who visits the thread, allegedly uninterested, just to urinate and laugh?

    Obvious answer, to me, but I was never in a frat either.

    Are you every bit the grumpy old man you portray with your account? You sure sold me. But again, this is the internet.

    Trump claimed the "head of the boyscouts" called him and said his speech was the greatest ever made to the boyscouts (lol).

    Today the Boyscouts said no such call was ever made.

    Just amazes me how easily Trump can and will lie, about the dumbest things, and when it is so easily refuted. Makes you wonder how well and how often he lies when his presidency is at stake...

    Maybe its Jim, the very substantial guy friend Trump brought up a few times while in Paris? Or maybe the mystery biker cop that told Trump he could clean up crime in Chicago in less than a week?

    My favorite Trump making up a story" story...

    http://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...mp-made-up-affair-denies-affair-a7797786.html

    I tell people I am having an affair with Katy Perry... so I at least understand Trump's made up story about Carla Bruni... :D

    Well, yea, it's amazing how easily someone can lie and continue to lie (matches Trump's view of really really really really easy). Just as amazing is how he has a pretty large number of followers that believe his lies over and over and over.

    LOL... the WH had to provide two lies, er, explanations for Trump's lies re: Boy Scouts (and the Mexico President call).



    For completeness, here's the explanation for the call with the President of Mexico...

    It must be kinda weird to have people track down every little lie you tell when you are so used to getting away with them. "Honey, did you remember to get the almond milk?" "I tried, but they were sold out of the brand you like." "Liar! I talked to the store manager who confirmed they had 3 cartons of that brand at the time of your visit. Moreover, two shoppers have independently confirmed they saw you pick up a carton, curse at the exorbitant price, and put it back on the shelf."

    Said by the guy whose Obama Derangement Syndrome reached critical levels even before he took office.

    Give me a break is right. You're actually claiming you see people on this board that you think are capable of shooting people because of their political views?

    Put down the bong, your paranoia is getting the best of you.

    Well, it we were all like Trump, we'd have someone spin out some additional lie to protect our first lie... "Gee Honey, when I said they were out of Almond Milk, I was told that by the milk department manager. He must have not known a new shipment just arrived. And when I saw the other customers put cartons back on the shelf, I thought they were tampered with, and didn't want to risk your health"

    LOL. Trump lies so much he probably can't tell if he's lying or not from one minute to the next.
