Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

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?

If he tries to do this and gets the information needed from databrokers and social media companies along with leaked data from DOGE's info theft...
And if there is no drive for privacy laws that crush those same companies then I will simply lose all hope.
Edit: also in the same way that the UK is demanding that every country follow their dumbass law, they need to try to force that privacy law back. India, China, the UAE, they be forced to comply or eat shit.
The scariest demographic group for Dictators is military age males, which can be corraled and turned into a rebel army. So it's important to gain control of them first, and putting them into the military to spread out across the globe, is a perfect solution.
Send all the magatards

“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.
“It has been, and it will continue to be, and President Trump wisely does not remove options off of the table,” Leavitt said.
Newspeak for “We don’t have a clue what the moron will do next, so ‘The lord moves in mysterious ways…’”
Fox: "It's not a war!"
Trump: "It's a war."
Sadly, we all have "bone spurs", sorry my guy
"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.

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?
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
