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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

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?

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.

The same people who care about the political opinions of Donald Trump.
