Don’t forget what you’re fighting for.
Not to mention giving the crazy xtian fucks their pipe dreams of having Jayzus come back on a cloud and rapture all these morons up while they get to watch other tortured horribly.
I mean, what a perfectly normal ethical system. It doesn’t sound at all like a dream of a total psychopath, getting front row seats to others being tortured and reveling in the notion that they’d be tortured forever. By a loving god, because they didn’t accept the highly-dubious truth claims and demented ethical system offered up in “the” bible…

Without blowing another big hole in our budget, people might get the idea that we should start taxing the Epstein class to fund things like childcare, healthcare, education, scientific research, feeding, clothing and housing all our people, and updating/fixing our infrastructure here at home.
There is always going to be money to pay for bullshit like this in “defense” of 'merica, but anything done for actual people IN America will have to be means tested and always up for getting cut by the likes of idiots that thought “doge” was a good idea.
Marines, remember who you are fighting for…

What will be this quagmire’s “Fortune Son” I wonder
Pretty sure it’s Fortunate Son.
At least they aren’t coming to US cities.
Say “No!” to military service.
Dodge the draft.When you only have a hammer, everything is a nail.
I’d say, “why not ICE”, but the likelihood that they’d gleefully commit crimes against humanity as soon as their boots hit the soil makes me not wish ICE upon even America’s enemies.
