And how come the head of the Boy Scouts had nothing to say about Trump's scandalous speech?

[DFW]

Maybe this had something to do with it?

1. You nailed it my friend.

When I saw this Guy's photo,the real story was the AT&T-CNN mega merger.

[DFW]

3. Not hard to put together, is it?

He's not going to denounce Trump over something as trivial as insulting our nation's youth when there's a multi-billion-dollar merger at stake, after all. A man has to have his priorities straight, after all, right?

[Wellstone ruled]

4. Another not reported story is

the Mega merger waiting in the wings is,Anthem Blue Cross and Cigna. Remember,this was a hot story last fall after the Elections. Why do you think the Rethugs want the ACA gone.

5. I know! I know!

7. doesn't want to get on trump's nasty side

you can't expect deals to be approved or rejected based on the merits right? it's gotta be where you grease the wheels.

[DFW]

9. Does Trump have any other side?

If so, he keeps it well-hidden.

[barbtries]

12. good point.

he is pretty much 360 degree nasty

[apkhgp]

8. That is what I was wondering n/t

[CousinIT]

10. Follow the MONEY. n/t

[DFW]

11. Not very far to follow in this case

As in, "as far as the guy standing next to you."

[BigmanPigman]

13. Is everyone involved with the Donald and government issues corrupt? YES!

[hueymahl]

14. Wow. I had been defending the leadership previously

Thought they were just put in an impossible position.

I was wrong. Should have known better.

[DFW]

15. You probably assumed, as I had, that the Scout leadership had the Scouts' welfare in mind

Instead he had his merger in mind--no way he was going to put that in jeopardy for a few dozen thousand kids in silly uniforms, was he? A man has to have priorities, after all...........

[paleotn]

16. What is wrong with these people?

They'd sell their grandmother for a buck and ship her COD.

17. Oligarch rules.

1 - Nothing is more important than increasing my $$ and power
2 - There are no other rules

[BillyBobBrilliant]

18. If he doesn't resign

I will return my Eagle Scout award I received 46 years ago.

Fucking Toxic Capitalist!

[Mc Mike]

19. Good find. Thanks, rec, nt.

[DFW]

20. Raw Story has also now picked up on it

At least I think I read it somewhere

[Mc Mike]

22. The merger angle makes sense. Without it, forcing scouts to listen to hair hitler

just seems to be pointless child abuse.

I mean, it's just getting that tRump stink all over the scouts, and the organization.

[Achilleaze]

21. republican dude owes America some answers

step out of the republican shadows and face the citizens of this nation and their children, who were so badly served by your republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief, Comrade Casino.
