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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    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.

        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 have long believed that only pedos (or wannabes) defend pedos. Everyone else is too viscerally repulsed to get anywhere near it, even with mere words.

      So yeah, I unironically see a pedo defender and think, “Pedo.”

        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.

              No, I think I understand you perfectly, Fudgy McTubbs.

              All I was saying is people who are boisterous in their hatred of pedos can be pedos

              You say this, but I have not come across it at all. On the contrary: pedos defend pedos, and as we’ve seen in the Epstein files alone, pedos tend to befriend each other and protect each other. On the whole, pedophiles are very comfortable with their own desires, and often have their actions toward children, even babies, repulsively self-justified as some kind of love, or loving act, when in fact it is vomitously perverted and confers lifelong damage to its targets. Think NAMBLA: there’s a LOT more where that came from.

              Some pedos also tend to be drawn toward open discussions of pedophilia online, because in addition to the sickening lust for children, they often think of themselves as smarter than regular folk (not without cause, because they tend to get away with their crimes for decades, due to the fact no one wants to think about it) and occasionally believe that the average stranger they discuss pedophilia with online has zero personal knowledge or understanding of their crimes. I’ve drawn a few of these out of the woodwork myself.

              But in regard to my own experience, I can only say I am old, I have known this person I speak of for decades, I have known what they went through, I’ve read a lot about it and keep up with the news, and I can honestly say I have NEVER once seen a pedo come out in hatred of other pedos and then be outed as a pedo. Not once. Much less a judge.

              But I have known personally, and heard of many more, where pedos found each other, traded materials with each other, helped each other find victims, and covered for each other in massive lies and routines of deception spanning entire decades. Again, the Epstein files are full of proof of this. So is the dark web. That shit’s wide open to anyone who has the stomach to go looking for it.

              I also have never come across this:

              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.

              To the best of my understanding, this may be true of some crimes, including sexual crime, but not of pedophila. Literally, I do not know of one case.

              I’d be happy to learn, though. So can you cite some examples of judges over-sentencing specifically involving the crime of pedophilia, where the judge is then outed as a pedophile? Certainly you’d remember where you saw some, since “it’s a thing.”

              Again, you made the claim specifically about pedophila, and you set the specifics yourself: “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.” If you could name these multiple judges you speak of, I’d be very interested to know the specifics.

    Exactly what freedom is being threatened by Iran? The freedom to distract people from the Epstein files maybe?

        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 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

      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.
