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

    Conscription, you say? Nice, I’d be joining straight away if it weren’t for my…OUCH, my bone spurs. They are killing me today. Sooooooo much pain.

    Only Old Draft Dodging Donvict Drumpf knows how much pain I’m in right now…

      Who do you think is going to be drafted? You think the DOGE data grab plus the requests for state voter registration rolls aren’t going to be used to filter a draft of the front lines to those they want out of the country?

      How do you get US citizens out of the country if you can’t legally deport them?

      If they’ve been doing illegal shit the whole time with profiling, do you really think they aren’t going to also profile in how they conduct a draft?

    FIFA Peace Prize laureate former Cadet Bonespurs will maintain peace by bringing back the draft. I hope all the fighting age Z/A males have exactly the life they voted for.

      Gen alpha? The oldest gen a just started high school. So yeah I hope those voting gen a kids really get what they deserve.

      I also have to speak on the matter of gen z. As an older gen z male (old enough that under current rules I can’t be drafted) I know the data holds that my demografic swung right in 2024. Not by as much as some act. But substantially enough to not ignore it. But I don’t know very many right wingers in my age group, so its hard to feel like something wasn’t missed. I would believe it if someone said that people my age were so far left that they refused to vote blue and that cost the election, but I can’t find any evidence of that.turnout was a bit lower generation wide, but not enough among men to make the argument that only the right wing men voted, unless there was a considerable surge among right wing youth turnout as well as a duo in turnout on the left for the same demographic.

      But now I’m rambling. Either way, its hard not to see millenials turning on us as a betrayal even if we statistically deserve it. Growing up and seeing all the articles where millenials ruined this or that and always being able to clearly see that the fault was not on the young adults but the society and industries, if there was even anything wrong with the change anyway. And I think everyone felt that way, not just those of us who were left leaning.

      And how I’ve had to drag some of the millenials I’ve known to see reason on trans issues and how they say the same things about me that people my parents age said about them it just really sinks in how cyclclical it all is and how no one tries to communicate on a level that actually breeds conversation. The brain sets as neroplasticity fades and now I am approximately who I will always be. And I hope I can look at gen alpha when they become adults and understand them, or at least try.
