putin but he seems to, you know, go along with whatever putin says. you can see as opposed to kim initially, rocket man and now he says he s got love with him. i mean, it s just there s no he plays it all right off the hip. he thinks on the spot. and most of the time his thinking is flawed. and here he is dealing with these people. look at what he s doing to the country right now. it is 100% in his power to stop the shutdown. he can t see that. he doesn t see the value of the shutdown. all he sees is the wall. and it s so he s so blinded by his ego and the fact that he went out on a limb for the wall he doesn t realize that he could go out on a limb now and save the country. save the economy. whatever. save people s jobs. save the government. he could do that right now by going out on a limb and saying okay, we have to make a compromise here, i am the bigger man. they are holding us up. i can fix it.
out about lifting this ban, it s not about the boy scouts. it s about the problem they have with people who are gay, people who save people s lives, people like my mom who work for the veterans affairs hospitals and protect the men and women in uniform. daniel, for those of us who live outside of boy scout world, what does it mean to the larger community, do you think? i think it s one of the larger parts of sea change? acceptance of the the community. we are mainstream america. we put our pants on one leg at a time just like everybody else. he puts short pants on. look, if you show up like that, there s going to be jokes. absolutely. i think it goes towards saying people in the lbgt community are like everybody else. it s a symbolic step but it s an
to experience the great outdoors and all that stuff. my moms did get involved. it was a don t ask/don t tell policy and the leaders in iowa where i was growing up were willing to turn a blind eye. my mom, jackie, became a den mother, a mama grizzly, if you will and was a highly revered leader. so they were part of the scouting experience and i saw first hand there s no incongruence with scouting values in lgbt people. people who are trying to speak out about lifting this ban, it s not about the boy scouts. it s about the problem they have with people who are gay, people who save people s lives, people like my mom who work for the veterans affairs hospitals and protect the men and women in uniform. daniel, for those of us who live outside of boy scout world, what does it mean to the larger community, do you think? i think it s one of the larger parts of sea change? acceptance of the the community.
