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…

    If there is conscription, they’re going to use their social media data from meta and twitter, and any way they can, to select those who are most vocal about being against Trump, so that they die first, maga are happy because they dont go to war, and see trump sticking it to the libs. Meanwhile there are fewer libs to vote against him and fight back.

    In fact, they’ll probably start by sending off those in swing districts, and may even let them vote abroad woth mail-in votes they intentionally dont deliver and cant be sued for doing so.

    All of the people I work with regardless of age, gender, race, or bank account are fully wanting a draft to send “libs, LGBTQ, black, brown, etc” people to the front lines to die or war will somehow turn them straight.

      I’m not trying to pick a fight with you … but did you say anything? Like did you call em out and tell em they’re brain is being held down by stupid while being fucked by crazy?

      I’m not trying to say go cussing at them… but I see so many stories like this. “At my such and such they said such and such…” And then it’s like, what did y’all just let it go?

      Make noise. Call em out. Make them uncomfortable. I do it. You say stupid shit like that, then I’m gonna say stupid shit like “Well if this is a holy war, the Christians should go first. God might be mad if you send the gays.”

      I’m sorry if I’m coming off rude. It just we got to stand up for ourselves. Not just big protests, but even small spaces. It why I dislike the people on here that go. “Posting online doesn’t help blah blah.” YES the fuck it does. Letting them know in every aspect of their lives that someone somewhere out there won’t take their shit makes them mad. It ruins their lives.

      So call them out every where. Say something atleast.

      Again, I’m sorry, this isn’t all directed at you, my friend.

    I’ve been worrying about this. They’ll use conscription to draft anyone anti-maga to fight and use other nations like Iran to do the fighting. If they resist they’ll be imprisoned.

    Russia does the same.

    They’d have to drag me out of bed, through training, and then keep me from killing this in charge the second I was armed. Good luck fascist cunts.

      Oh, they’ll draft him. In fact, they’ll draft him, and he’ll rise up the ranks with record speed! All his assignments will be positions like “Army Special Liaison to Customs and Border Patrol.” Any role they can find that can puff up his resume while putting him in absolutely zero direct physical danger and requiring next to no actual skills or duties. He’ll do photoshoots in uniform. And Trump will solemnly say, “I’m sorry we have to bring back the draft. But I believe this is so necessary that I have drafted my own son into this conflict.” Or they’ll find a way to fabricate a story of military heroism around him.

      Be careful what you wish for. That’s what Baron being drafted would actually look like. The only way Barron would actually be drafted and treated as a common conscript would be if he miraculously developed a conscience and publicly denounced his father. That might get him drafted for real.

    “Mothers out there are worried that we’re going to have a draft, that they’re going to see their sons and daughters get involved in this,” said Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo, speaking with Leavitt Sunday. “What do you want to say about the president’s plans for troops on the ground? As we know, it’s been largely an air campaign up until now.”

    “It has been, and it will continue to be, and President Trump wisely does not remove options off of the table,” Leavitt said.

    Karoline Leavitt refusing to rule out a Draft,” Nilsson wrote Sunday in a social media post on X. “Once the Congressman’s and Ivy League parent’s children get drafted it’ll be a whole other ballgame.”

    Whoever this “Nilsson” is, we know they’re a moron. Because those kids are getting the best deferments money can buy.

      I think they should be the first to volunteer. They were the ones stupid enough to think it was the Democratic Party that was warlike (LOL) and voted for the pedophile used car salesman.
