Could the strike on an Iranian general trigger a draft? The Selective Service, explained

On Friday, the website for the Selective Service, a federal agency tasked with maintaining a database of adult men who could be called upon should a crisis require a draft, experienced technical difficulties as people flooded the site.

The draft was suspended in 1973 because of intense public and political opposition to the Vietnam War, and Congress and the president would have to pass legislation to bring it back, should an emergency call for it. But America still keeps a database of all young men who could be called upon should the draft ever return.

If you’re a male residing in the United States between ages 18 and 25, you are required by law to register for the Selective Service. The mandate applies whether you’re a U.S. citizen, immigrant, or undocumented immigrant. Women are not currently required to register, and signing up for the Selective Service does not enlist a person in the military.

'He was sent to us': at church rally, evangelicals worship God and Trump.

“My administration will never stop fighting for Americans of faith,” Trump said at the conclusion of an often freewheeling 75-minute speech. “We will restore the faith as the true foundation of American life.”

This out of the mouth of an individual who has broken nearly every one of the Ten Commandments.

1. I AM THE LORD THY GOD: THOU SHALT NOT HAVE STRANGE GODS BEFORE ME. Money and wealth are his GOD.

2. THOU SHALL NOT TAKE THE NAME OF THE LORD THY GOD IN VAIN. Really check his tweets and rallies.

3. KEEP THE SABBATH HOLY. Trump golf on any day anytime. His church is any green.

4. HONOUR THY FATHER AND THY MOTHER. Trump honors the wealth he was given.

5. THOU SHALT NOT KILL. Well, we can only guess but his actions have surely led to the death of others.

6. THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY. Stormy Daniels need we say more. Three wives.

7. THOU SHALT NOT STEAL. He robs the national treasury every chance he gets. $120 million just for golfing trip to Flordia

8. THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS AGAINST THY NEIGHBOR. LIES, LIES and more LIES Est.15,000 since his Jan 2017

9. THOU SHALT NOT COVET THY NEIGHBOR'S WIFE. Take a guess. Would you trust him with your wife or daughter?

10. THOU SHALT NOT COVET THY NEIGHBOR'S GOODS. He thinks the world owes him everything.

Just how stupid or delusional does a person have to be to buy this line that God sent Trump.

If any mythical character sent Trump it was Satan. And he is getting his monies worth.
