Trump MAGAthread IX: Korea, The Dreamers and Trump

[Maineiacs]

You mean the dossier that was initially funded by the GOP?

Was it? Didn't know that part.

Isn't being covered by most. Because that doesn't make for good copy.

[Petrasylvania]

As a reminder, the uranium deal was proven to be a bigger nothingburger than Mueller's special investigation of Trump.

[Tekeristan]

w o a h you mean to tell me that the only two real political parties in our nation that have sustained for decades by a select few only chosen amongust themselves in positions of high power and authority constantly fed cash are corrupt?

[Vassenor]

It's mentioned in both of the articles I've seen, but it tends to get buried a fair way down.

You do realize what I am referring to has nothing to do with that and is something new?

I'm not saying they mean anything, just that there is new information.

Pentagon recommends requiring women to register for the draft

Good. I am not really a fan of the concept of the draft, but if we're going to have it, it should be equal to both genders.

[Collatis]

Republicans are retiring left and right

This is just further opening the door for the radicals to take over the GOP. The party of Lincoln is gone as of last year's election.

The party of Lincoln has been gone for at least 53 years now. Trump is just the latest in a long line of disgraces to Lincoln's legacy.

Eh. As much as a thief and bastard Nixon was, at least he had a sense to get out of 'Nam and open the door to China and even Reagan could work with Tip O'Neil in Congress...but yeah. Still ain't much to write home about.

He also started the EPA.

You cannot bargain on even terms when some nations are on their knees due to severe droughts and natural disaster (not just due to corruption), among other problems, that require humanity to HELP each other.

He's a laissez faire libertarian, help is anathema to him.

But on the note of humanity, the Chinese seem to be adept at taking advantage of poor nations in a way that America has largely forgotten about.

Good, now to see the reaction from both parties.

Republicans were investigating Trump until it became obvious enough he'd win the primaries. The Democrats started picking up the bill for a while. Ultimately Steele was investigating on his own time. That was how I understood events when the dossier first dropped.

Hmm, will Trump listen to the Pentagon, since he loves generals, or refuse to draft women* to appeal to conservatives.

*I understand that signing up for SSS isn't the same as being drafted. Don't count on Trump understanding that.

We're letting them rot with their dependency on foreign aid. Either we get something (not military-related) in return, teach them to fend for themselves, or cut the cord entirely.

While I agree, I hope to God I never get called up for it. I'm not willing to fight in whatever stupid war Trump might get us in.

This should be interesting.

Oh, I am saying this as someone who would attempt to be a draft dodger if I was called into a stupid Trump war. If the war had some merit I would more reluctantly go, but still. And I also think the draft shouldn't be a thing. You should be able to sign up to it if you want to (Which females can do now), or it should just no exist at all.

My friend actually made a fair point too that forcing people into a war they don't want to be a part of actually probably makes the military more unstable, as people might desert more if they don't want to be there, fights might break out, ect.

Luckily for me anyway, I am apparently past the common drafting age.

Military doesn't want a drafted army either. They learned that one in the last police action.

If they called a draft, and I got pulled, I'll have no problem killing myself before I get deployed. The US, and the government aren't worth fighting for over such a stupid conflict. (Such as NKorea)

That's a little drastic with Canada so close.

Not to sound bad or anything, but from what I remember of your stories, you'd probably be considered medically disabled before being sent anywhere anyway.

You'd likely get caught, sadly. Committing suicide before the deployment is far better than getting shit on after deployment by a government that treats veterans like toys.

Suicide or maple syrup on everything you eat. It's a tough call...

It'd be more dramatic to commit suicide with heavy weapons.

I already detonated a maple syrup bomb in your fridge.

Supposedly I am. See, I did ROTC and had my eyes lined up on a scholarship, I talked to a recruiter at 17 that'd come to the school who took me and a few others to the base to join the Army and get a slight edge in paygrade coming out of basic. However, I was on anxiety medication at the time, and was informed that they /technically/ weren't allowed to enlist me, however, they'd sweep it under the rug if I never told anyone I was taking anxiety medication. Which frankly pissed me off. So I never pursued it after that, and coming from a brat who's grandfather, uncles, dad, and brother were all military and had her eyes set on joining since she was a kid, I've felt a bit lost since.
