    I have no idea whether this was the right call or not. The more certain someone is on the issue the less convincing I find them. What I do know is that Senator Mike Lee reminds me of an angry scout leader. Like the one at Camp Maple Dell that threatened to send our troop home after we threw a can of aqua net in the fire. Like I get where he's coming from, but he's such an earnest twerp that I can't really listen to him and reflexively disagree with whatever he's saying.

        Yes so we could throw it in the fire and watch it explode. Was that part unclear?

            It's like he was never a scout.
            Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

            For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

            Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

              We just used bug spray. Already bringing it so we didn't have to increase our packing weight. Actually now that I think about it, we used bug spray as flame-throwers per creek's comment. For throwing stuff in the fire, I remember putting pop cans in upside-down as the coolest thing. Next up was an unopened can of peas, which burned dozens of small holes through a few of the tents. Both the pop and peas were on the packing list so we didn't have to bring anything special. We made do with what we had.

                My faith is restored. So sad that there is no guarantee that future generations of Mormon youth will take part in these life-defining experiences.

                  But at least they won’t have to deal with professional scouts who bear resemblance to Mike Lee. Worth it. And also follow the prophet.

                    The exploding can of peas was actually quite memorable. Pretty good lesson on the ideal gas law. Maybe it set me on the path that led to studying ChemE in college.

                    Also, please change where you quoted me saying "make due" to "make do" before DH sees it. TIA!

                          Doesn't this stem from his anachronistic literalist view of the Constitution. The president hasn't had to ask permission from the Senate before a discrete attack for decades.

                            Yes, exactly.

                            As he went on and on about the ineptitude of the briefers, I kept thinking, "Well, the rot starts at the top, dope." So funny that he's going to run to Trump to let him know what is going on, as if that is going to resolve whatever problems he sees. As if Trump is going to defer at all to these two dumbo senators. Yet they are Trump Men through and through.

                              I may be small, but I'm slow.

                              A veteran - whether active duty, retired, or national guard or reserve is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to, "The United States of America ", for an amount of "up to and including my life - it's an honor."

                                As far as I know, Mike Lee is still set to be one of Trump's campaign chairs in Utah.
