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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

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.
