I was a scout. If Al Kaline showed up, I woulda been real happy. Who the **** cares about political hacks when you're a scout?

Actually, I wasn't talking about his politicking. I was speaking about a 71 year old man talking to a bunch of pre-teen and teenage boys a "yacht story" and the "very interesting life" of a wealthy man. He wouldn't "go into" it any further, because "you know, life." A sitting president, relaying a suggestive story to a bunch of boys. C'mon MAN, it's the Boy Scouts!

Interesting... I did listen, because of all the press, and I found the President telling the story of William Levitt, of Levitown fame, and how he went from being a success to being a failure because he took 10 years off to yacht around the Med... and rather than relaying a "suggestive story", be demurred. The story was about loosing, or giving up, your momentum in life.

It was, then why did Trump have to include the innuendoes that he included. Oh, that's right Trump just can't help himself from being inappropriate. Well at least he didn't include his normal locker room banter, cause we all know what that means.
Which innuendos are those? "Interesting life" or "yachts and sailing"?
To be any more specific I would have to go back and review the speech but I remember them being there.
Here's the transcript I used from Time:

Just reviewed the Trump speech video. He was talking about the guy who bought the yacht and said he lived a very interesting life but your boy scouts I can't tell you about that. Should I tell you about that?
No, my virgin ears don't hurt. But here again Trump is being the inappropriate idiot that he is.
Just so funny if not sad how often he has to re-live his win. How Great I am. LOL

Every man I know says stuff like that when talking to young boys becoming men.....Every man I know relives their victories and shares those stories...The USA Olympic Hockey Team members that defeated the Soviets STILL gives talks about their past victory....Rudy Ruettiger of "Rudy" fame is STILL giving motivational talks about his tackle for Notre Dame in the 1970's.....U. S. Grant wrote his biography nearly 20 years after his victories in the Civil War....
I know you don't like Trump but you are better than nit picking Trump over his Boy Scout speech......If I had a dime for every time an older guy, family member or not, made a comment about their single days and the ladies they knew and would just get to there and say, "Well...You're a little too young yet to hear the rest of it but I think you get the gist..." I wouldn't be worried about the no payer that just ****** me on gunbroker.....
If you want to trash Trump for his policies that's one thing. Trashing him for being an old Lion talking to the cubs about good times to come with the ladies??? That's just how old guys talk to 12-16 year old boys....Kind of like giving a little sip of beer or whiskey to a favorite nephew at deer camp....Illegal? Yes...American and a right of passage???? Absolutely..
IMHO
Riiigghhttt... no scouts were excited about "The President" coming to speak to them... the chants of "We Love Trump" and "USA, USA, USA" were just the dozen of so Trump people in the front row... same one's they used at the CIA, BTW.

I had to sit through him re-living his victory again as well just to find it. Just so funny if not sad how often he has to re-live his win. How Great I am. LOL
Hey, how many more times do you want to hear how Great I Am? I mean you could go to a rally but when he does it every time he says something even if your a supporter doesn't that sorry a** stick start to get old at some point. Maybe if he were to change the inflection of his voice on a word or two. How about if he says something about the crowd size? I mean I don't think I've heard him say anything about that today, maybe yesterday, but not today.
Eh, he was talking about showing up and working hard for something you are passionate about. He talked about working hard in Michigan and Wisconsin even though no one thought he had a chance and his "opponent" didn't even bother to show up in those states, he won them. But he wasn't taking any chances so they worked hard in Maine for ONE VOTE in case they needed it.
If you cannot see there is a genuine work ethic story there, then I'm afraid sour grapes have jaded you too far...
No, if I want to trash Trump because he's trash then I'll trash him.
I put up with 8 years of Obama doing it and it didn't bother me then so why should it now??? I am not going to be a hypocrite and trash Trump for it just because he is orange...Confident people have never bothered me in the least...Not going to let it bother me now just because of someone's skin tone....I have known a few orange people in my life and they were good people...
"Trash"......I have heard other people referred to as "trash"....I don't understand the use of that term to describe a fellow human being but then again I am not that angry of a guy.....Does it feel good throwing out hateful slurs to people that one disagrees with???? I never saw myself doing it but if there is an upside maybe I am missing out on something...Does it make one feel better about themselves???
I am going to try it...
"Hillary Clinton is a poopie head"
Nope..Nothing...Dang it....
