I Don't Care If Trump Was A Draft Dodger

You saw the headline, and it's true.

I first thought of this when hearing tributes to John McCain, saying that McCain was a real hero while Trump was a draft dodger. Is that true? Maybe, maybe not. But I don't care. Why?

I would have been a draft dodger too had I been around when the draft was around. And I wouldn't feel bad about it. The draft was unjust. Period. Forcing people to kill and die against their will, sometimes for completely pointless causes that they don't agree with, (Vietnam), is evil. I admire anyone who avoided a war they opposed and were forced to fight. The amount of American kids sent off to die in foreign lands without any say in the matter is a stain on America's conscience; I even consider it on the same level as America's most recognized sins, (slavery, trail of tears, Jim Crow, etc). And condemning someone for not blindly supporting the flag and the military is jingoism, which us libs are supposed to be against. You cannot support #takeaknee in the NFL and condemn draft dodgers at the same time.

So please, let us not get so caught up insulting Trump that we lose sight of our own traditional values. There are many reasonable insults to Trump better than "draft dodger." Let's use them.

Okay, Trump's Looking Pretty Suspicious Now

Michael Cohen pleads guilty? Hush payments? Paul Manafort? Yeah, this doesn't look good. I still don't know what all will come of the Mueller investigation, but conservatives who cry "fake news" at the corruption accusations are really fooling themselves at this point.

Another Immigration Post - Why Prosecute?

Hey all, another tidbit on the immigration issue. Why do we have to prosecute illegal entires? If we have to send them home, then send them home. Deport them if we must. But why prosecute? If the point is that they are in the country illegally, then we can easily solve the problem by deporting them. Then we wouldn't have to deal with the issues of detention and family separations.

If anyone can tell me why prosecution is necessary, please do so.

Abolishing ICE Is Radical?

Hey guys, so lately I've heard a few folks on the news refer some Democrats' call to abolish ICE as a radical position? Really? You do realize that ICE has only been around since 2003, right? We've dealt with various immigration issues for a lot longer than that. So how is abolishing a recently created agency, "radical?"

If you want to keep ICE, fine. I could see either reforming or abolishing it. I've said before that I don't think abolishing ICE is a winning position for elections, and I think we can make it more humane. That being said, I would never say that we need an organization that's only been around since 2003. So why is abolishing ICE radical? Please explain.
