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

      Yeah this whole thing is a repetition of tiredness.

      “Trump hasn’t ruled out doing [INSERT HORRIBLE THING]! This will surely sink his popularity past the threshold for his own supporters to finally turn on him!”

      He doesn’t rule out anything because he’s a an ignorant, selfish old landlord, he doesn’t give a shit about any standards or conventions, he will do whatever his cabinets let him do, he’s a chimp wildly pushing buttons and only placed in front of the things Stephen Miller and FOX news hosts tell him to go mangle, and his supporters would support him even as they’re shivering in the Iranian mountains.

      No, really… people elected him specifically for this. Obama supporters, Bernie supporters, people of color all voted for Trump because they thought “He’ll break the rules, it will be entertaining” and are now shitting themselves when he breaks the rules. Fuck all of 'em, I hope there’s a huge draft and every comfortable, middle-class American suddenly realizes that their political choices aren’t abstract WWE theater, that it has consequences to their lives.

        You joke, but it honestly feels like we are living in the fallout universe. Billionaires and their bunkers, check. Coprations with far too much power, check. Governments completely taken over by money interests, check…
