Given the MSM nutjobs and liberal idiots promoting fake news, that's hardly surprising.

Social media has really dumbed down society--people read Facebook posts loaded with fake news, rumors, gossip and hearsay, and it spreads like wildfire, with people believing them all as truth.

People are really not so bright, in general.

LOL, sad but true.

So true. Social media should never be used for journalism.

There won't be a draft again. Our country's war mongers learned from the Vietnam War that a draft causes too many protests and riots along with conscientious objectors.

And there are the military, police and national guardsman, along with the rules set in place from 1960 - 73, to deal if that ever comes to pass again ... H.R.1509 — 114th Congress (2015-2016)

"Amends the Military Selective Service Act to require the President to resume the induction of persons subject to registration in the Selective Service System for training and service in the Armed Forces (thereby reinstating the draft) upon the enactment of an authorization on the use of military force or a declaration of war."


Congress once again is out to lunch.
