Rob Schneider Says the U.S. ‘Must Restore the Military Draft’ Amid Iran War: ‘These Freedoms That We Cherish Do Not Come Without Cost’
2mon 20d ago by lemmy.ml/u/chinaski in progressivepolitics from variety.com
So this non-serving ass clown wants OTHER people to sign up for a draft to protect his “unparalleled freedoms and opportunities” while he sits back and enjoys them. Says our freedoms are the envy of the world. My brother, have you ever even left the country? Because nothing says “unparalleled freedom” like going bankrupt from a hospital visit, watching your kids do active shooter drills, and needing a draft to staff a military that already has the biggest budget on the planet. But sure, the whole world is just green with envy. Absolutely seething. They’re over there with their universal healthcare and paid parental leave just WISHING they could be us.
Oooh ok, please be the first in line then rob.
Rob Schneider is a stapler
I didn't know who he was so I looked him up on Wikipedia. Apparently he's a fucking moron.
That he is. South Park made fun of him a lot back in the day
but then he became irrelevant, so no one talks about him anymore, except when he makes idiotic statements like this and makes an arse of himself.... again.
Most of the time comments like this make me feel old, since I would imagine the majority of people my age absolutely know who he is without even thinking about it. But this time it makes me feel good knowing that even now there's gonna be a ton of people who never heard of him before and that will keep growing as time goes on.
Oh I'm old, but apparently I live in a cultural cave.
If you watched comedy movies on VHS, it's impossible to not see at least some of his movies.
He played second fiddle to a better comedian.
Derp de deedly derp
And an idiot
Who cares what Rob Schneider thinks?
Seriously. This is news? How?
Unfortunately we live in a time and a place where this idiot absolutely has more public sway than a lot of members of Congress and basically all of local government. This country does have a reality tv star as president after all.
god damn it. Idiocracy wasn't supposed to be a guide!
I honestly didn't know he was still alive.
Classic chickenhawk, lives 60-something years without serving in military, and now thinks other people should serve in the military.
I was going to call him a joke, but then that would give him more credit than he is due.
Jokes are funny, which he is not.
nah, he's funny. funny in the way that he thinks he's ever been relevant. The only reason he got work was because of Adam Sandler. He's a fucking moronic dipshit.
Sorry, I don't take geopolitical advice from a man whose most notable acting roles included starring in The Hot Chick.
I think his most notable role was a bit character in Waterboy. "You can do it!".
It's also worth remembering that the character in question was simultaneously incredibly vicious, stupid and naive.
He may not have even been acting, now that I think about it.
The man peaked (!) last millennium with Deuce Bigalow Male Gigolo.
Invading other countries has nothing to do with your "freedom".
Is Schneider a Pedo? Why is he supporting pedo policies? Sounds like a pedo to me.
Isnt it a thing, tho, where judges who are also secretly doing X come down harder on people doing X than other crimes? And I think that's true for all people, not just judges. Has to do with not wanting to seem like youre wishy washy on the rules for that crime so nobody suspects you...
If you're going there then you should also count people who have personally suffered adversity caused by that specific evil, who absolutely "come down harder" on the perpetrators of those actions than those who have not personally suffered.
As for pedos and the harm they cause, for me there's zero room for ambiguity, zero room for doubt. Many people have been directly harmed by it; many more love someone else who has. For myself, someone very close to me has been profoundly adversely affected by their actions, so hell yeah I come down hard and have no sympathy. They are left with lifetimes of hells the rest of us can't even imagine, day in and day out, and when it involves pubescent and prepubescent children it is nothing short of sickeningly repulsive: it is predator and prey. Nothing can change that. No amount of discussion can normalize that.
Same for survivors of trafficking, and the loved ones of murder victims, and those who have been raped: they have good reason to come down as hard as they like on those crimes, because they know better than anyone else what they were left with when those crimes were done.
I dont understand your response to my comment.
Judges who turn out to be secret pedos tend to have a record of sentencing maximums against pedos in their court. It's a thing.
All I was saying is people who are boisterous in their hatred of pedos can be pedos maybe as much as people who want to debate it philosophically (so called apologists, or whatever).
It's a detestable crime and im not suggesting otherwise and im not suggesting anything about the victims.
Perhaps I misspoke.
Him and his friend/sponsor Adam Sandler are both republicans, yes.
Exactly what freedom is being threatened by Iran? The freedom to distract people from the Epstein files maybe?
Exactly who cares the slightest bit about the political opinions of Rob Schneider?
The same people who care about the political opinions of Donald Trump.
To prove your point: this is the second time today that I went: "Rob who?" The first time was after the Last Week Tonight piece on Orban. By the time I came across this, I had already forgotten who he was again because it just. Doesn't. Matter.
I really doubt he has any influence even over the diehard MAGA crowd.
You first, fucko.
Iran hasn't done anything to me, but Trump has.
As a matter of fact the real war would be civil war.
Finish up what the Union army needed to do to the South at the end of the war.
The biggest hotbeds of Confederate activity in the modern era can be found in Silicon Valley and Washington DC.
He's caused more harm to the US than Iran ever has.
Trump or Schneider?
"The only way we can have freedom is by killing some brown people who have done nothing to us." - Some fucking douchebag moron
I didn't see him at Fallujah when it was his turn to die for his country.
Curious that he's discovered a love of mandatory conscription so late in life
What an immensely punchable face.
That really is the most punchable face I've ever seen. Like if i had no idea who he was and you just showed me that picture, I would just know he's absolutely horrible.
Send every single person in ICE first then the children of politicians. None are allowed cushy office jobs. All must be boots on the ground.
lol. ICE fighting combatants? Nah, they prefer to go after little old grannies who are bothering no one.
Lets draft all those who voted for Trump first. They brought up this mess, they should clean it.
Rob Schneider, fucking idiot, says something fashy to remind people he still exists after being functionally unemployed for a decade
Let's not use 'unemployed' in a pejorative way.
Friendly Reminder that you can avoid the draft by coming out as trans.
Shut up, Rob, no one cares what you think.
Millions of bots would like to claim otherwise
The army drafting rob schneider sounds exactly like a rob schneider movie plot.
he's never even made a good movie, either. The hot chick? is that the best this POS can do? Really?
My friends and I have a copy of duece bigelow that we take turns hiding at each others house. I think someone got it as a gift like 20 years ago. I think it’s still in shrink wrap, probably somewhere behind a photo on one of our walls to be found and re-hid someday 🙃
In The Army Now Too
Anyo e advocating for the military service for others should put their money where their mouth is and sign up, regardless of age.
I was gonna say that. Rob could go to Iran and fight them if he believes draft is necessary
unfortunately thats the problem with stupid cunts like him. They are super eager to send YOUR children to die, but will never send his loved ones.
He has three daughters. Ask him about drafting women.
As someone who served 20 years in the US military... we created the Reserves so we don't ever have to enact a draft again. There are enough people serving in the Reserves to cover us if we go to war. It's our compromise to avoid drafting people ever again.
Heck, I joined just before the Iraq war started back in the early 2000s and folks in the Reserves were shocked to find out they were tagged to go to war first. The active duty military is already running operations around the globe; we can't just abandon all our bases and active missions to run to war. So we sent in the Reserves first to set up shop and create a stable environment before moving active duty personnel and resources to the region. As an active duty member, working for a deployment squadron at the time, I didn't actually see Iraq until 2007.
To be more precise, there are career fields in the military that are designed specifically for boots-on-ground operations, and those active duty career fields were technically the first members to go to war. But after an area was secured, then we'd send in Reserves behind them to help set up and maintain local bases and operations until active duty could eventually filter in and take over full-time.
What a lapdog piece of shit.
He's just the worst. I hope Sandler stops giving him a paycheck.
Probably they have kompromat on each other, and Sandler is not much better.
Unfortunately they're friends and he probably agrees.
Its free to say nothing.
He's been a piece of shit for a long time but I also wonder if shit like this is a conservative cash grab. Like he's gonna start saying the reason he doesn't make as much money as he wants is liberal backlash to the horrendous shit he says, as opposed to him just being a nepo hack. Then waits for conservative offers to roll in and plaster his face around their circuit of ghouls for easy money.
Shut the fuck up you bootlicking has been
Brospehene never was.
In his mind he's more than an Adam Sandler's one time accessory.
I just watched an episode of Last Week Tonight where Rob said some nice things about Victor Orban, or something along those lines. Not that Rob really ever had any credibility but anything he had is now gone.
dude's apex was the 'making copies' guy on SNL. one bit.
all downhill from there. he's a no-service shitbag who wants to say other people's kids should be conscripted.
all of this ignores the enormous harm a draft would do to our military - because I guarantee you the rich still won't serve, they'll all have bone spurs and asthma that fixes itself after a decade. and the poor will have to serve instead.
meanwhile, today, we have one of the best militaries in the world because the people serving genuinely want to be there - either for the service itself or benefits after - and all of this ignores the giant elephant in the room: conscription's great for meat waves.
anything requiring skill gets fucked. small unit tactics take ages to learn. logistical operations take longer. and you're not going to get conscripts in the backbone combat service and support units because that shit takes even longer to teach than infantry stuff. two year hitch? hell that's just barely enough time to get through basic, AIT and airborne school. that's when you're qualified to no longer be a danger to your fellow servicepeople.
I don't want to serve with conscripted people who are gonna get high/fucked up and get us all murdered. we saw what happened in vietnam, no thanks.
That's also ignoring the possibility of folks like myself being conscripted, wherein I would be looking for the biggest how can I fuck everyone over situation. I see human life as cheap including my own, now imagine what I would consider acceptable casualties?
valid.
sounds like he got marching orders from putinspeak to Support orban's election
Rob, have you tried just not saying anything? Come on, try it...
You can do it!
How is starting a war of aggression supposed to “protect freedoms”?
MAGAts: Logic, not even once.
All I heard was derp-de-derp, tittily-toooe!
What "freedoms" does he think are being threatened by Iran?
they're brown.
Our freedom to kill brown people?
Why are people listening to Rob Schneider?
Hey rob, come draft this turd out of my ass.
Fucking clown
More attention grabbing comments from the most unserious buffoon of an "actor".
Because we need even more parallels with Vietnam? I mean I kinda agree but for opposite reasons. The draft is how we got people breaking into the FBI offices and revealing cointelpro. Maybe a draft will motivate enough of us to liberated the rest of the Epstein files.
What's progressive about this?
I keep forgetting that Rob Schneider is an idiot
you first Rob. go fight for your country you piece of shit loser. after a full tour of duty you can come back and say this shit again.
until then you're just a pathetic clown with shitty racist jokes.
Hey, he'll get some actual laughs for a change when the little manlet who probably doesn't know how to hold a gun is sent to the front lines.
Say the literal one dimension comedian. How many times has Adam Sandler kept you in SAG?
I wonder whether Mr Schneider can point to any of those hard-won freedoms in this, Mr Trump's second year of 4.
I agree that freedoms must sometimes be won, but without any freedoms in evidence it's a hard sell.
Exactly, What's fucking left? Going over the bill of rights is like a laundry list of things Americans don't think they have.
Haven't quartered any soldiers lately, I guess. Is that all?
Our freedoms still aren't hiding in the middle east. This is despite the fact that every time the government goes there some of our freedoms go missing
Rob Schneider can go fuck himself. He's a pathetic no-talent hack who's fallen ass-backwards into money. And because of that he now thinks he's some sort of genius. In truth, he's a dunce.
Says our freedoms are the envy of the world.
I think I can speak for all of Sweden when I say: we are not even remotely envious of US "freedom"
There's this "old" song I think express our views just fine
We're not living in America. But we're not sorry, I knew there was something that we never had. We don't worry. No, we're not living in America. But we're not sorry. No we don't care about the world today. We're not sorry for you
As an American, I'm envious of the freedoms Europeans have. I hear in much of Europe you don't have to change doctors when you change jobs. And they let you spend a few months with your newborn child.
And they let you spend a few months with your newborn child.
Parents have the right to 480 days of parental leave in total. 90 of which is reserved for each parents(180 total) but the remaining 300 you can choose who stays home.
It's quite common that both parents stay home for a while. Which they can, just means your total parental leave days are consumed twice as fast.
NOTE: This is just for Sweden. Other European countries may have other rules
As an American, I’m envious of the freedoms Europeans have. I hear in much of Europe you don’t have to change doctors when you change jobs. And they let you spend a few months with your newborn child.
Don't even need to look that far. I'm Canadian and we have all that.
I'm not 100% sure because I don't have kids and won't ever have any, but i think in australia (where i live), maternity leave is like a year or something?
As an australia, with welfare and medicare systems that actually, you know, work, I'm not even CLOSE to being envious of the americans. Yeah, I'm really jealous of the fact that I functionally don't need to worry about getting shot to death by police/nutbags (same thing, amirite?). Yeah, so much jealous. Fucking morons.
You're lucky. I wish i lived where you were!!
Draft = you dont actually have freedom. I've said it since I was a child and the only response I get is "well they don't/won't actually use it". Well, enjoy either dying for what you don't believe in or going to prison. Y'know, that place that has legal slave labor.
To quote an idiot... You can do it!
Rob Schneider is a pedo!
You first Rob.
I dunno man. The US doesn’t seem very free anymore.
We should make him walk the plank again.
He goes first.
It's seem like every ass clown has an opinion now
What freedoms?
We have some, believe it or not, though all of our wars seem to harm rather than help them, and especially serve to deny them to others.
We have freedom if you can afford it.
Oh no, I didn't realize Rob Schneider was a complete moron. Sad day to learn that.
Lets start drafting the idiots who lust for war, and the sons and daughters of those who jerk off furiously to the war, then see how hot to trot idiots are for war.
Barron should deffo be part of the first wave. Trump wants to be a king, then sending his Son off to war to make a man of him is the logical conclusion in the new might makes right world. Surely prince Barron is not a coward?
There's a pretty good argument that the reason public support for the Vietnam War was so low was because of the draft. Compared to Iraq/Afghanistan, the all-volunteer military in those wars meant that public opinion was largely indifferent. You can do a lot more damage to the world when your population is indifferent to what you do with your military, so there's a good argument that a draft would be bad for those in power. But we're living in the upside-down now so a draft would probably help Trump for some insane reason.
The freedom to die in pointless wars?
Oh wait he's rich, he's talking about his freedom that poor people need to die for... makes sense...
Show us a DD-214 or sign up yourself, I thought he died years ago
The freedom to bomb brown people in the name of Israel?
The freedom to serve the ownership class while owning nothing ourselves?
Seems like a bad deal to me. I know who I'll be pointing my gun at if they force me to go to war.
He has the same effect in real life as he has in movies: his appearance makes everything worse
what freedoms is iran taking from us citizens? trump is taking rights away.
how fucked in the head do you have to be to say we need the draft for this bullshit war. after 9/11 the majority of the country was united in a response yet ibdont remember hearing "bring back this draft". now this stupisld war and i have heard it a few times in the last week.
Who?
This is only the first time I've seen someone call for a draft, but I've known all along that a Draft is coming. Trump and his Wormtongue Stephen "PeeWee Himmler" Miller can't wait to send millions to die, and drafting an entire generation of young potential troublemakers solves a big problem as well.
For context, we lost 58K in Vietnam over about 12 years, and we lost over 4K in Afghanistan. Russia has lost over 1.2 MILLION in 4 years in Ukraine. Trump is going to want to COMPETE will those Russian numbers.
Trump is a profoundly mentally ill human, literally raised by sociopaths to be a sociopath, and he hit it out of the park, blowing right past sociopath, and into Psychopath territory. He will see all those war casualties as people who sacrificed their lives for him. He will brag to his Sociopathic Oligarch buddies around dinner at Maralago about how many have died for him. He will brag how more Americans have died for him, than Russians died for Putin. That's how he will keep score.
I remember when the Soviet Union wouldn't let their people travel outside the country, and I wondered why not. If they want to leave, let them leave. But now I understand. If Trump launches a draft, a LOT of young people are going to want to leave America, and their needed to run up Trump's score. So they won't allow people to travel outside the country anymore, unless they're, y'know, wealthy. Their kids won't be going to war to die for a point on Trump's scoreboard.
More Freedoms to be lost in the name of Freedom. Freedom isn't free, and sometimes you have to surrender your freedom to stay free. There's some MAGA logic for you.
I have a beautiful, intelligent, funny, talented son who is smack in the middle of draft age, and he is all I care about in the world. He is NEVER going to die in a Trump War. If ANYTHING were to happen to him, I would have nothing left to lose, and I would become a very dangerous person.
A Draft is one of those Red Lines that MAGA better not cross, or it's instant Civil War. Suspending Elections, and a Third Term are two others.
MAGA can't have our children.
I hate the claim that freedom isn't free so much because it's true and always used poorly. The cost of freedom is being an educated voter, it's jury duty, it's accepting crime that could have been prevented by giving the government more power, it's resisting demagogues and fascists who tell you easy answers at the cost of neighbors. Freedom isn't free, but here in America the military hasn't fought for American freedom since the 19th century and we had to be dragged kicking and screaming into fighting for European freedom 90 years ago.
Annnnd.... I have watched my last Rob Schneider film. I actually can't remember watching any before, but certainly won't now. And any other pro-genocide actors or directors.
I don't think I've ever watched a Rob Schneider film since Deus Biggalo, but he does pop up in things
He can schniff my sweaty taint for all I care. The dude never served, and is now advocating to force others to do it. Just to protect pedophiles.
You've never served, how about you go first you fucking cunt has been.
I'm down. We'll be putting guns into more hands of people that hate Trump.
Many Americans fled to Canada to escape the Vietnam draft, and it was a noble action for them to take. Anyone at risk of draft should know their options of how to avoid it. And if all else fails learn the history of the concept of fragging.
I'm sorry, Norm of the Fucking North wants to bring back the draft?
Which of your freedoms was Iran trying to take, sugar?
The freedom to take iran's oil giving nothing in return!
He's really putting other peoples' money lives where his mouth is.
War mongers are always people who expect other people's kids to fight wars. Schneider has three daughters, the oldest who hates his fucking guts for sending her to fat camp.
A bit like brave dumpy, risking soldiers' lives in an illegal war. So brave! Draft dodging POS.
The asswipe had two choices, serve Uncle Sam or the IDF. Did he? Nope and he can piss in the wind.
‘These Freedoms That We Cherish Do Not Come Without Cost’
Same fucking propaganda bullshit is being touted in Europe. Unbelievable that much of the working class buys into this
Aaaand there we go. I was honestly waiting for it to enter the public discourse.
You good to go as well then Rob? No? Then STFU.
The only argument I've ever heard about the draft that actually made me consider it was that if everyone was in the army at some point, we would look ar wars very differently.
The number one thing people hated about Vietnam was the draft. The biggest thing that mobilized the American people to protest the war was the draft. Not the death of Americans, but the death of "my Americans".
It might make us a LOT less warlike...
If there was Anything you'd need to know about Rob Schneider you'd be best to learn from the words of his daughter. How long ago was it she came out and said what he was really like. Piece of shit has always been a piece of shit.
But the pedo preso is a draft dodger! He’s leading by example.
you will only be known as adam sandlers side kick, and Mooching off of his fame and success like a vulture.
these freedoms that we cherrish do not come without *caust - FTFY
Says the guy that should be in prison for Judge Dredd.
Hey, cowardly americans, why don't you want to fight to protect Chief Orange Paedo, are you communists or something?
Why isn't sending your kids, or going yourself, to a foreign land to die to help distract from his decades of raping children is not an attractive proposition?
It's like you actually want the world to know that that obese thing, with his mate Epstein and other billionaires, are disgusting sexual predators!!!
Wow, rob schneider up here in progressivepolitics.
Carry on, then. I guess.
His daughter can be drafted first. Elle King.
fuck Schneider in general, but about the draft i agree. the US is so nonchalant about starting a new way every Thursday is because there is no draft.
they live so far removed from consequences that they can afford to be ignorant while their elected representatives deal immeasurable pain to innocent people and children around the world every day for decades. half the population doesn't even know what the fuck is going on. if there were a draft they would be paying attention.
As long as the people who voted for whatever winning party get priority. Then the non-voters.
Aren't votes supposed to be secret? Like, you won't know who voted for what party?
Let the Election Commissions handle the draft selection process. Voters will be given a receipt of their ballot they can use to dispute a draft notice if they think they don't deserve to be called to serve in a war they voted against. All people are automatically registered to vote, so non-voters can't fly under the radar.
The benefit of tying draft selection to voting history greatly outweighs whatever theoretical privacy anyone has anymore. Young people who voted against wars shouldn't be getting dragged into conflicts the elderly and privileged are pushing for.
The actual votes are secret, but the fact that you voted is not. Party affiliation is not secret either; it is public record whether you participated in a party's primary election.
Not American so I don't quite get how it works. Do you need to be affiliated with a party to vote? What does "...participated in a party's primary election..." mean?
From the "Vowel Party", Adam, Ellen, Igor, Oscar, and Ursula all want to be the congressperson for my district. I am a member of the Vowel Party. In May, I will vote in the Vowel Party Primary, to determine which of these five candidates will run as the Vowel Party Candidate in the General election. The other candidates will drop out of the general race when they lose the primary.
From the "Consonant Party", Bob, Charlie, David, Frank, and George all want the job. The "Consonant Party" will be running its primary in May, at the same time as the Vowel Party. They will determine which of these five candidates will run as the Consonant Party Candidate in the General election. I am not a member of the Consonant Party, so I do not get to vote in their primary.
(It is not expressly required that a general election candidate be a member of a party. Victor, Weller, and Xerxes can all run in the general election, independent of any party. However, it is rare for an independent to prevail in the general election.)
Next, at the November general election, I get to choose between the Vowel Party Candidate, the Consonant Party Candidate, or one of the Independent Candidates. I do not have to vote for a member of my party. I do not have to be a party member to vote in the general election; I can vote as an independent.
The fact that I voted in the primary is public record. The fact that I selected a Vowel Party ballot (Indicating membership in the Vowel Party) in the primary is public record. The specific vote I cast in that primary is secret.
The fact that I voted in the general election is public record. The specific ballot I cast in the general is secret.
The ELI5 I needed. Thanks a bunch.
the US is so nonchalant about starting a new way every Thursday is because there is no draft.
First off, this isn't even a war. It didn't go through Congress. There have only been 5 wars that were actually carried out by the US.
- 1812
- Mexican-American War
- Spanish-American War
- WWI
- WWII
All the rest have been police actions or Presidential Authorized Use of Military Force. You can't draft for those.
Korean War (1950–1953) -- “Police Action”
Vietnam War (1955–1975) -- AUMF‑style Resolution
Gulf War (1991) -- AUMF
Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Syria, and more. -- AUMF
Iraq -- AUMF
Anti-Isis operations -- AUMF
But, for the sake of argument, let's say you're rightm and what we need are draft consequences. With the current way the government is heading, What's going to keep the administration from using that as a punishment for dissenters?
Protest? Drafted.
Vote Left, your kids get drafted.
Your business doesn't bend the knee and turn over 100k to the presidential slush fund? drafted.
Let's not give them another tool to use against us.
All the rest have been police actions or Presidential Authorized Use of Military Force. You can't draft for those.
Korean War (1950–1953) -- “Police Action”
Vietnam War (1955–1975) -- AUMF‑style Resolution
We had drafts for both the Korean war and the Vietnam war.
He's about as smart in real life as he is in Surf Ninjas. (I do love that campy-ass movie)
Executive order. Starting tommorow. Use ICE to raid gathering places of 'youngins. Jews should get religious exemption, though. Explore use of catapults to save on jet fuel.
Rob Schneider gets wayyy to much attention as a washed up D list celebrity.
What freedom?
What about for old disposable actors? Seems logical you would send them in first as fodder for the drones.
Thank you Adam Sandler for propping this guy up and keeping him somewhat famous way past his relevance....
People who support the military, any military, are the worst.
Oh I absolutely love this idea. Trump's kids first.
But seriously, no better way to make Republicans feel the pain than to draft their kids. Liberals can, of course, claim something like being trans to get out without any shame. Pretty sure the trans community would be ok with it? Or not, but whatever, if you're a trans person and you're not ok with weaponizing your trans persecution to fuck with the MAGAts I think you're lame.
OR...and hear me out...there might be a new draft rule: Instead of being immediately disqualified for military service, trans folx are first investigated.
Their teachers, friends, relatives and co-workers are interviewed. Their medical history is reviewed. They are required to complete an evaluation with an Army psychologist.
Anyone found to be "faking" is charged with draft evasion (which currently carries a maximum penalty of 5 years/$250,000).
Anyone NOT found to be faking, e.g. all the "real" trans women, are now in a database. When the next piece of anti-trans legislation hits, or the next data breach happens, they will be that much more vulnerable.
Yeah or we'll be arrested for draft dodging if we refuse to detransition or something.
Sorry about your bone spurs 😞
Thankfully I'm deaf and in my 30s, so by the time they come for me on the draft list they'll be in complete disarray.
Sounds like a GREAT way to waste tons of government resources!
Seriously, do you know the wait-list for investigations the government actuallywants to do? It's insane.
That's the point. THAT IS THE ENTIRE POINT!
The more rules in place, the more leverage a government has on its citizens. And when that government can collect and store the data easily and cheaply, the information can easily be weaponized when needed.
In other words, it's a way for the government to keep the population on edge. Worried about day-to-day survival instead of looking at the bigger issues, like blatant corruption and cronyism.
I can agree with a draft that starts from the oldest citizens and steps down in age 1 year starting from 100 only after 100% of each year is drafted starting from the most wealthy and going down in income. No bone spurs get out of jail free the richest go first. The “most capable” get to prove it. If you can watch tv all day you can pilot a drone in the combat arena like you can play candy crush. It will help the economy run because no one will need to leave an entry level job open. No need for college exceptions. America’s housing problem will be rapidly solved as new stock becomes available. Those billionaires will get to pass on their wealth before they can waste it all investing in AI data centers and mega yachts. No teenagers living their entire lives with PTSD for someone else’s poorly planned adventures.
Is he Jewish?
Of course he's jewish, but the real question is "is he a zionist". What the world needs to realize is that zionism is more dangerous and a much much bigger threat to the world than radical islam. And it shouldn't be considered racist to say that. Starting a war in Iran should be considered racist.
of course he's Jewish
His mother was Phillipino Catholic. You guys are like a bad Hogans heros episode.
Right, nothing wrong in being jewish. However, are there any zionists who are not jewish, and how to make a difference?
Lots of evangelicals in the US south are zionists...
If you are supportive of the Amerisrael War, then you're a Zionist, no matter what your religion is.
It isn't about religion, no matter what they claim, that's just an excuse. It is about National Sovereignty, and America and Israel don't want to acknowledge Iran's. If you shuffled the religious beliefs of those three countries, we'd still be in the same situation.
