Automatic registration for military draft to be implemented by December

I swear the last few years TurboTax is basically like “Ooooo sorrryyyy, but you actually were a living human during the 2025 calendar year. This means you need TurboTax Premium Plus Pro w/ Super Pro Live to process this years taxes”

I usually have whatever refund I get to be direct deposited. They now charge 40 bucks to do that in addition to the regular "free" price.

We could have Direct File back whenever a Democrat is president again. They just have to flip a switch

That's a funny way to spell "bribed".

Wait, we pay taxes? ... To go towards everything proper, right? ... Right!?

lobbying from tax companies. just straight up corruption

Most people DO have automatic taxes taken out of their paycheck, but these people still have to FILE their taxes whether or not they owe anything more. This is the part that's complicated on purpose. An employer takes out your taxes before you even get your paycheck and they report to the government how much they paid you. April is when you have to get a statement from your employer to double the paperwork and report the same amounts to the government yourself as well. This part is complicated because everyone's situation is different and you owe different amounts based on situations that aren't your employer's business to know. Then if you don't have a traditional employer you have to pay even more taxes for the privilege of being self employed. You don't get a refund on overpaid taxes if you don't file, and you owe interest if you pay late.

All that tacky gold shit in the Whitehouse doesn't just grow on all the molding. We ALL gotta pitch in for the accent work in the ballroom or president big boy will cry all night and not get the rest he needs to cheat at golf instead of running the country. Seriously, if it weren't that I'm sure Bessent intends to use palantir to selectively audit only people on the left, I'd lie on my taxes and maximize my very small refund. Unfortunately, I can't expect constitutionality to protect me from the DOJ using misfiled taxes to send me to Alligator Alcatraz so I gotta dot my t's and cross my i's. F***. This. Country.

in the same vein that we have money for unwanted and unneeded wars but not for social safety nets for tax payers. 

We have enough tech to build AIs that make cat dancing videos or AI that can diagnose cancers but voter registration is the challenge

Even 3rd world countries in ex Soviet Eastern Europe had automatic voter registration at 18 and free mandatory ID at 14 since the 90s.

We can know if you’re an adult citizen for the purpose of sending you to war, but it’s too hard for us to know if you’re an adult citizen for the purpose of letting you vote.

Exactly! Thats First world technology. Something the worlds biggest economy for decades cant obtain unless they become first world

Don’t worry they’ll just enact a draft and nearly the whole population becomes felons who can’t vote

Surely these will be red-blooded, Freedom loving, Southern states!!! ....Whaaaa!?!?

It's really important to note, and also really important that people know that STATES run elections, not the federal govt. (yes, even federal elections). Running elections is one of the few very specific things outlined in the constitution that the federal govt. is explicitly not allowed to do. If you want automatic voter registration you need to push for it on your state level.

Well they have got a bad case of the Murdocks, they are the original patient zero.

That's odd, I didn't for my green card, as a green card holder I'm not a citizen so I don't see how I could be compelled to join the US military.

Biden passed a law allowing those who don't register to still be able to get financial aid.

It's also considered a felony and is both fineable and imprisonable.

Realized after I commented that the meaning of "legally" in my comment is kind of ambiguous. I meant it as in "you're legally required to register", not as any reference to a person's legal status

Yep. It’s been that way since forever. I had to register back in the 90s when I turned 18. The only real difference between then and now is it feels like there’s a real chance Draft Dodger Donnie could actually come up with an excuse to compel service.

Yup. When I turned 18, Gillette sent me a razor and the government sent me draft paperwork lol

Are you saying the government doesn’t know if I’m a citizen or not? 

This will just be a special military enlistment operation, not a draft!

There's things the president can do because the whole system has been built on the honor system of "you will act accordingly to the law because you swore it". Congress makes the orders but the executive pulls the levers, so if the executive ignores the orders it can act how it wants, but there's a limit to how much it can do illegally. The military is used to following orders wherever they come from, chain of command is drilled into them. But regular people, not so much. I wonder how many will enlist in an illegal draft when they don't have to, compared to all the people dodging the legal drafts.

Congress willingly gave up that power decades ago in the war powers act

Certainly a little executive order is all that is needed to draft antifa

Correct, they are not "satanists". They are christians. And that is worse.

and eat them - don't forget about the eating of the babies

What do you think they do at these parties

You can say "r***". They r*** children. Systemically, without repercussions or arrests. In fact, they are even actively protected by law enforcement.

What’s the age cut off

Eh, I rather stand by them than fight a dumb war.

because now disabled people are automatically registered for the draft its more work to remove yourself from a list than to have never been on it in the first place (its the government, so it will probably take 8 months to complete this)

Of course it should. We all know why they're prioritizing war, but the basic idea of automation on this isn't a bad thing. 

This right here. Don't forget the third choice, dying within the first week of operation.

No. Not even close. They did fire the leadership though.

My fiancee's dad is a high up in JAG, they're still alive and well.

Pedophilia, tariffs, war, gas prices, normally all of this would be political suicide. You think a draft would be a tie breaker?
