Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Wait I'm confused, are they trying to ban the Girl Scouts?
Or is this like, the organization formerly known as "Boy Scouts" is just "Scouts" now, (like it's Co-ed scouts) and the chuds are pissed at that because boys are now playing with girls?
Jesus, these fuckwits get pissy about the stupidest fucking shit.
It's the second one. Girl Scouts they have a separate beef with, I'm sure. But this is about Scouts being accepting of girls, because that "violates "DEI, because these assholes have decided they have a ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY on tolerance.
I wish I was fucking kidding.
I hope all the pious jackasses that told me (and keep telling me) that Kamala/Biden was just as bad are fucking happy with themselves...
Could not agree more. If Kamala were president none of this shit would be happening. Alex Pretti, Renee Nicole Good, and dozens of others would still be alive, thousands of families would not have been destroyed. Anyone who says "The Democrats are just as bad" are on crack.
Gonna play dipshit's advocate here for a minute and say that canceling funding for Scouts based on DEI is pretty low-key evil compared to their perception that Kamala was personally flying planes over to Palestine and dropping nuclear cluster agent-orange munitions on the women and children there.
I mean, what did these people think Trump was going to do with Palestine? Send them kevlar body armor?
From what I understand, the Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts are completely separate organisations in the US, and also quite different in their outlook, with the Girl Scouts being very inclusive and somewhat progressive, while the Boy Scouts are a bastion of male chauvinism, patriarchal values, intimidation and sexual abuse.
A couple of years ago, the Boy Scouts tried to change that, and apparently that's really upsetting to Hegseth.
It's the organization formerly called the "Boy Scouts". The Girl Scouts is a wholely independent organization that doesn't, to my knowledge, receive money from the government to operate, hence Girl Scout cookies as a revenue source to fund activities.
I'm sure if Pedonald's goons find some way to punish Girl Scouts, they will surely pursue it.
But yeah, holding funds over Scouts is something they hope to lord over the Scouts, and all so they can make girls in Scouts cry, I guess? I mean that's the likely outcome here if the Scouts cave to these fucking demons.
I'm pretty sure the Scouts organization is going to tell him to eat grass because despite that government funding a few years ago they were going into bankruptcy. That is until they stopped being the "Boy" Scouts and opened up their membership.
Yeah, as others have pointed out, if they were willing to part ways with Mormons, I could see them doing the same with the likes of Kegsbreath.
To be fair, the article originally misidentified the organization: https://archive.is/20260204084641/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2026/02/03/pentagon-warns-scouts-ban-girls-or-pull-funding/
