Please stop comparing Boy Scouts to Nazis. That's pretty disgusting.

Given your avatar, I believe the correct term for the behavior of maligning whole groups of people with vile epithets is, presidential.

(I will considering taking Republican comments on standards of behavior seriously after they denounce and impeach Trump and not one moment sooner. Until then, roflmao!)





1. The users of this forum have no control over whether Trump is impeached.
2. While Trump should not be talking to scouts about #fakenews, "I won!!!", and "Obama is bad!!!!". comparing it with Hitler, who literally persuaded people to want to kill "improper" individuals, is supremely overblown.

^ Trump was likely talking about ISIS or Al-Qaeda there. Not saying I agree with his remarks, but it's not comparable to Hitler, who targeted the old, the very young, the sick, the disabled, and the jews, none of which were terrorists.

Also, I know it's fun to compare Trump to Hitler or other ultra-extremists, but that sort of comparison only helped him during the campaign ("Hitler! Really? Wow these Hillary people are radically overreactive!"), and it was a bad move for all who did it (including myself).

He says, repeatedly that he wants to kill their families. Unless you somehow think women and children deserve to be killed for who who they were married to, or who their parents were, or that parents should be killed for the actions of their children, he is indeed advocating targeting the old and the very young. He talks about Muslims much like Hitler spoke of Jews. He also mocks the disabled, and is doing his damnedest to talk proper medical care away from the sick.

While, again, I do not think he is marching in lockstep with Hitler, remember too that it took Hitler and the Nazis years to go from racism to ethnic cleansing to mass extermination. We've only had six months of Trump. (And will hopefully have given him the boot soon enough.)

In any case, rather than making any argument regarding why "Obama(care) is bad!!!", "I won!!!", and #fakenews translates to killing millions of people, you have dug up a carefully cherry picked quote from a completely different event to rationalize your view. The fact that you had to resort to that to defend yourself is evidence by itself that your Trump=Hitler line is faulty.
