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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

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.

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

[–] aviationeast@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

We should make him walk the plank again.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Oh no, I didn't realize Rob Schneider was a complete moron. Sad day to learn that.

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!!!

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

I'm down. We'll be putting guns into more hands of people that hate Trump.

[–] Prior_Industry@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

What about for old disposable actors? Seems logical you would send them in first as fodder for the drones.

[–] shweddy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

What freedom?

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

Rob Schneider gets wayyy to much attention as a washed up D list celebrity.

[–] Greyghoster@aussie.zone 2 points 2 days ago

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

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

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)

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Wow, rob schneider up here in progressivepolitics.

Carry on, then. I guess.

[–] AnotherUsername@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 days ago (6 children)

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.
