Ooh, ooh...do the Commander in Chief next. He's the fattest one of all.
- You mean civilian leadership vs military leadership?
  FDR won WWII from a wheelchair, your comment makes no sense.
  
  Sorry, what’s the purported correlation between FDR’s paralysis and Trump’s general unhealthiness?
'Fat' soldiers are fired. Meanwhile, ICE is expanding their already burgeoning Meal Team Six battalions.
- At least the newly unemployed soldiers will have a nice well-paying paramilitary to join, so they can keep supporting their wives and their wives' boyfriends.
  
  Just casually trashing the military and then being shocked when the military doesn’t support you.

His nickname is Twinky Pete. He likes his twinks.
Tired of all these unfuckable troops in my military. I demand everyone have an ass I can bounce a quarter off of.

Rude of Pete to expect soldiers to stay lean without the ozempic and cocaine he uses to stay trim.
Pentagon Pete is a ridiculous and unnecessary nickname.
Secretary Shitface, please.

The recruiting crisis in the US military is pretty bad.
The funniest example is 24M$ the national guard spent in 2012 on recruiting at nascar. This generated 24,800 prospective recruits. ~$1000 per interested recruit. Not bad. Of those, 20 were eligible to join. 99.92% unfit for service. Of those 20, all declined to join. There's no evidence that the 88M$ spent on nascar between 2011-2013 generated a single recruit.
This is part of why the exclusion of trans folks, women and others from the military is such an own goal for the fascists. Any potential recruiting pool that's closed hastens the decline of our imperial supremacy.
- Also if there was a draft they'd have to put me in jail or I'd leg it to canada. This has come up in conversation before and people are like "Erm nuh uh you'd totally go" like no bro you'll actually die to an IED in something-istan.
- is such an own goal for the fascists
  I'm reminded of the bit from ur-fascism about how they are incapable of evaluating the world.
  They are stupid people living in an emotional fantasy.
- The recruiting crisis in the US military is pretty bad.
  The largest standing military (outside of an active war) in the world has a recruiting crisis?
I honestly hope Nazis continue to fuck with military personnel. These are volunteers trained to shoot a rifle and they're supposedly willing to kill or be killed to defend our freedoms.
For the love of god please open up multiple fronts in the war on America.
If he wouldn’t swipe right on his Grindr you’re gone
- I appreciate the joke, but there’s no swiping in Grindr, you just get to be a perv to whoever you like. It’s great.
  Better to say “if he wouldn’t tap you” or “😈 you”.
  
  Thanks for the info.
