In a stunning admission, Leavitt told Bartiromo that mandatory conscription – not seen since the Vietnam War – had not been ruled out by her boss.

    “It’s not a war.”

    “The war will be over in a few days.”

    “Maybe…conscription?”

    Either they have no idea what they are doing or they are just plain evil. There is no middle ground.

      They are evil people who don’t know what they’re doing because they’re also dumb and inexperienced.

    My stunning admission. I would never do anything to hurt another person but I would give her a memorable Rogering & then spend a couple of hours trying to get her funk off my stuff. You know it stanky.

    One of the only times I’ve been “happy” that I’m 40, overweight, and barred from re-enlistment/IRR/drafts.

      I’m 67, and I have so many degrees, they’d have to make me an officer. Trust me, no one wants that.

    The motherfucking racist pedo chicken shit draft dodger is seriously considering military conscription, eh. Every single MAGA fuck should be lining up at the US Army Recruiting Office and signing the dotted line for 11B (Infantry).

    Why on earth would the US government risk a public outrage when they can just keep the system as it is and have poor people enlist for money?

      Fascism is capitalism in decay. As capitalism “runs out of runway”, the capitalists start stripping the country for parts. In order to distract people/tamp down revolutionary anger, and squeeze the last profits, they’ll reorient society towards total war. War at home and abroad.

      Probably because they’re planning to start more wars than they have bodies of poor people to cover

      Plus, if raping children doesn’t generate enough public outrage to create consequences, they know they have a green light to say or do anything they want

      Yup. It’s easy to spot when “news” fits these criteria:

      1. Evokes emotional response
      2. Too dangerous to ignore
      3. Devoid of any proof of something that is actually happening or going to happen
      4. Plausible

      The key here is that it’s noise designed to wear you out by provoking hypothetical scenarios in your head. This is intended to saturate the minds of the most dangerous opposition of all: The smart and educated. It’ll go flying right over the heads of everyone else, but they have other tactics for that.

      It also doesn’t matter if they say they ruled it out and then do it anyway. Their cult worships them no matter what. I just saw a woman whose kid was murdered by ICE and she still supports Trump. Also his fans love the Iran war. The propaganda doesn’t even matter anymore, which is why it’s so sloppy and lazy, because their base will eat it up no matter what. They’re have complete faith in Trump. Hell, they’ll make up their own propaganda in their heads at this point, justifying literally anything.

    That’ll be fun. If I know I’m going to die overseas, with my skin peeled off or bones shattered, or I can die at home with a few bullet holes, I know which one I’ll be choosing. Easy enough to make sure bullet holes magically appear in assholes, as well.

    Luckily it’s all hypothetical for me. Too old, too sick, and too busy not even having a permanent address :/

      Fuck man. I wish the best for you. Home insecurity is a massive drain. The American people deserve so much better than this. From an Iranian.

      Same here and I entered during the late 1980’s. In our ranks, we had plenty of Vietnam War NCO’s, with CIB’s, calmy explaining to us young cadets/officers what happened to the shitty leadership. Big reason why I do not to fuck with people and their lives when the shit is serious.
