Manly men following toxic masculinity stars are suddenly worried they could be drafted and sent to Iran?
I thought this was their once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go prove themselves as manly war heroes…

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Pomfret still broadly supports Trump, grading him a B-plus.
So he'll keep voting (R).
A party strategist [...] said the party could still secure midterm wins if it captures at least 40% of the youth vote.
We are so fucked ...
Why does the media feel this urgent need to profile nazi-curious white dudes?
I heard so many old fucks openly decree they are too old for combat so they don't give a shit about the "war over there."
We are truly fucked. They don't even care about other Americans why would they care about anyone else?
Wait till they find out the fucking 'immigrant' camps are for them. You don't need massive prison camps in every state for people that you're going to deport without due process.
Engineers suddenly become expensive and hard to find? Not a problem, arrest a bunch of them for some made up bullshit, and now you can just sell/trade them as prison slaves. Same with any profession. Why pay you when they can enslave you? What are you going to do, vote against? They've got a plan to keep you from doing that too
They are also building a facility to house 30,000 in Guantanamo Bay, which currently holds about 200. For context, the largest current maximum security prison in America holds 8300. They clearly intend to detain a lot of people. Why would they need such huge facilities if they are just going to deport them as fast as possible?
OP is correct. Once the immigration problem has been dealt with, those camps will require prisoners for the new American economic model. Imagine how much more profitable corporations could be if most labor costs could be replaced with AI, Automation, and Federal 13th Amendment Slave Labor.
But they're just criminals, so who cares? Unless they make things like Debt, and Unemployment, and Homelessness illegal. Need government assistance to eat? You are welcome to work it off in the camps.
After all, just handing money to poor people would be immoral. They need to work it off, so they can understand the value of a good work ethic. It's the work that will make your freedom even sweeter.
Arbeit Macht Frei. They should put those words above the front gate.
Are you kidding? They're not going to be in the camps, they're going to be the guards.
