Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick Proposes Military Draft for All Those Aged 65 and Older.

"Why should America's youth risk their lives fighting terrorists in places no one has heard of, such as Mazari Sharif and Albaghdadi?

Give these men and women a rifle and a walker, if necessary, and have them makes themselves useful.

At the very least, it will eventually reduce the costs associated with Medicare and Social Security."

Far fetched?

He did say THIS about the economy and the coronavirus.

"No one reached out to me and said, as a senior citizen, are you willing to take a chance on your survival in exchange for keeping the America that all America loves for your children and grandchildren?" he said. "If that's the exchange, I'm all in."

It's Texas, do you really expect more from those people?

@independentone :( I live in TX.

Patrick is from the northeast somewhere. In contrast my family has been in Tejas since before there was a Texas.

And Abbott is a little shit. He sued for millions of dollars when he became paralyzed and then went on to successfully argue for tort reforms so that no one else could follow his "successes" wrt suing for damages caused by negligent business owners.

They can both shut all the ups and fuck all the offs.

I think most 65+ year old men (exception Trump) has already served.

Patrick is willing to let seniors die to improve the economy. Everyone should let that sink in for a minute. And if you are living in Texas and don't vote this scumbag, and his cronies like Governor Abbott out of office, you are part of the problem.

Thank you for the contact information. He'll be hearing from me momentarily.

A lot of those older people are possibly veterans though who have already served.

@Astro the first part is made up nonsense

@texasdaddydom

Obviously, you didn't get the point.

Or maybe you DID and you're just trying to deflect from the idiotic statement of your Lt. Gov.

texasdaddydom · 56-60, M

@beckyromero no I do not back him or what he said but people are responding to what he did not say ...

texasdaddydom · 56-60, M

why are you posting something blatantly untrue then something true it just muddies things up?

@QuixoticSoul people are responding as if it were true and she is doing nothing to clear it up

@QuixoticSoul

It’s an analogy for effect. You’re not supposed to think the first part is true, it’s intentionally absurd.

What does it tell you about the guy complaining when you have to explain that to him? 😂

daisymay · 51-55, T

@texasdaddydom That's why you have to hold to the fact that a person who is actually capable of performing the barest form of "research" will read the story by clicking the link. If that isn't true, then we are all, in fact doomed.

Have you never seen a satirical take on something? That would be amazing.
