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'm sorry, Norm of the Fucking North wants to bring back the draft?

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

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...

Which of your freedoms was Iran trying to take, sugar?

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 months ago

The freedom to take iran's oil giving nothing in return!

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.

You good to go as well then Rob? No? Then STFU.

Aaaand there we go. I was honestly waiting for it to enter the public discourse.

‘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

The asswipe had two choices, serve Uncle Sam or the IDF. Did he? Nope and he can piss in the wind.

He's really putting other peoples' ~~money~~ lives where his mouth is.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

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.

But the pedo preso is a draft dodger! He’s leading by example.

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

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.

He's about as smart in real life as he is in Surf Ninjas. (I do love that campy-ass movie)

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

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!!!

[–] foggianism@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

these freedoms that we cherrish do not come without *caust - FTFY

[–] PhAzE@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

His daughter can be drafted first.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (3 children)

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.

[–] CAVOK@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (5 children)

Aren't votes supposed to be secret? Like, you won't know who voted for what party?
