Couldn’t even wait until their braces were off to potentially throw away their future.
The tradition is that when someone’s young, dumb, and full of naivety, you get them all hopped-up on patriotic fervor and send them to go serve in the military shooting at some hapless villagers somewhere who never did anything to them, to make someone who lives in Maryland or owns shares in Raytheon a half a billion dollars richer.
Sometimes they got wiser, but sometimes they wound up dying by the side of the road somewhere, so far from home they can’t conceive of the distance, and the wisdom came too late. Or they came back with no legs or a traumatic brain injury. Now we’re hopping those same people up on faux 1776 imagery and turning them loose on Ethel who’s volunteering at the senior center as a poll worker.
I have to say I think this way is better, because it gives them a lot gentler chance at redemption and wisdom. That’s still contingent on the hope that it doesn’t actually work, and nobody chops up Ethel, but I think this way is better. I think.
Frankly I don’t like that tradition either, but I don’t see any realistic way that it ever changes.
I don’t know, man. What does this Ethel chopping job pay? /s
I just get the feeling that these kids aren’t the type who are worried about where their next meal is going to come from. Or in other words, they’re hobbyists and the military was never going to be an option.
Bro is ballsy, stand your ground state. Your dumbass running around with a machete? Dumb rewards.
Stupidity and bravery are not the same.
If you’re going to be dumb, you better be tough. That kid doesn’t fit this.
A guy campaigning for Republican candidates was getting arrested at my polling station (in a very blue area/state) when I went to early voting this weekend. Got into an argument with a Democrat and threatened them with a knife… I’m nervous about Tuesday
That’s the point, for you to be nervous. Most places don’t have any issues, but they’re screaming pretty loud about the few that do so people won’t vote. Please vote.
I wonder what his parents will cry about him being interrupted from doing in court while insisting he’s a good boy
We have to vote this election, don’t let this rhetoric stop you. It can’t go to SCOTUS or we’re fucked.
If it goes to SCOTUS and TFG is declared king, then I believe it is completely within reason and morallly necessary to send in seal team 6 to
assassinaterectify the situation.As declared completely cool and completely legal by that SCOTUS
I don’t like wishing ill on anyone, but somehow we have to take back our government. They’re not following the law or precedent. There has to be a legal way.
It is legal. You can thank the SCROTUS. (The extra R is for fascism)
faRscism?
True, I just don’t want any part of it. They are evil though.

Threatening two older women. What a beta cuck
Notice that he was threatening people who were the least likely to pose a threat to him / fight back.
Trans folk being a threat to women? HA!!!
Dipshit is smiling while brandishing a weapon. FAFO
That’s terrorism, brosef.
It’s all fun and games until the swordfights break out
I don’t know, i made some prop swords in high school for the play once. Afterwards, we jumped on stage and started a swordfight. That was pretty fun, until one of us started bleeding.
As much as fantasizing about winning a swordfight with a Trump voter is fun, you know the rule: Nobody wins a knife fight.
