Sounds like a draft is being planned for the occupation of Iran, aka Vietnam v.4

    Yeah it’s possible, but I don’t see the point in making up scenarios when they are doing more than enough now. There’s a couple thousand laws they could figure out a way to weaponize, doesn’t mean they will and doesn’t suddenly make those laws “MAGA law”.

    Equating all federal law to “MAGA law” is incredibly reactionary.

    Also you’ve slightly changed your position on what you mean by “MAGA Law” each time you’ve replied. To me it reeks of the over-reactionary rhetoric the conservatives use. I don’t need boogeymen and hyperbole when we have more than enough real problems to deal with. Real problems stemming from Trump and MAGA of course

      I’m not “making up scenarios,” I’m trying to stay a few steps ahead of these morons, so we can prepare for whatever nonsense they’ll try to pull. That requires extrapolating the most likely scenarios, based on what we already know about them.

      I have a draft age son, and there is no way that he’s going off to die in a Trump War “Deal.” I’ve been predicting a major Trump War, and a Draft, since 2016, and the War part is finally here. The draft part will be announced in January 2027.

      I’m not going to wait until it happens and react, I’m going to start propagandizing against it right now. I want voters in November to not just vote against what he’s done, and what he’s doing, I want them to be thinking about what’s around the corner, like sending their children to die so Trump can bury the Epstein Files.

      Get with the program, Citizen.

        It’s the same picture

        I have a draft age son

        I am still draft age, scares the shit out of me this war will get worse and the draft is coming. I’m not going either. I don’t even think suspecting a draft is unlikely. It’s just the added bits and hyperbole of your arguement I didn’t like.

        My advice to avoid it short term is if your son is college age send him abroad for college. I am doing a graduate degree myself waiting to see if I’ll be able to claim asylum. Added benefit it’s so much cheaper abroad tuition wise. I did the math the total program costt (rent, tuition, insurance, etc) will cost me less than 1 semesters tuition in the US

        The draft part will be announced in January 2027.

        Source or more speculation?

        I’m not opposed to being predictive of the administration, but I’m not going to get online and pretend to know with certainty when they will do something.
