Imagine three+ years from now, with (hopefully) no DJT at the helm. Yes, it would look like the beach scene in Planet of the Apes, but then what happens to the GOP, no longer bonded together temporarily by his mucoid demands? Answer: they fragment into sects, no longer bound (as much) by threats of vengeance. One group is the hyper”religious” and another is the legit small govt people, and another are the tech bros - all very very disparate.

There is no proposal to reinstate the draft in Project 2025.  That rumor has been going around Facebook, TikTok, etc. since last autumn.  There are proposed reforms meant to "improve military recruitment" including one that would require all students at federally funded schools (which can include some private schools) to complete the military’s entrance exam (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB).  It would not force them to enlist or involve a draft.  Reinstating the draft would take an act of Congress, and as spineless as some of the members are, they still would not do that.

no, it's going to be against Europe. The US is already siding with Russia. The autocrats hate our heavily legislated, massively bureaucratized system that somehow works very well. 

I guess they see it like a massive lobster and want to break open its crust and feed on all that wealth. After Ukraine, Russia will move into the Baltics. Simultaneously, the US will take Greenland. Canada will be put into an awkward position of choosing either an unworkable neutrality or siding with Europe. 

That is what the draft would be for. Taking Canada and Greenland. Check out Dugin's concept of geopolitical spheres. All the evidence suggests that Trump has bought into it, lock, stock and barrel.


Admittedly, this is totally nuts. But unfortunately that is precisely what makes it so credible.

Drumpf doesn't have to worry about re-election (unless he decides to push SCOTUS for a third term) but his ass-kissers do. And Trump would find it hard to sell steaks, bitcoin, hotel rooms, etc. if he fostered widespread and lasting hatred for re-imposing the draft.

Waitasec. Required military aptitude tests? in the US? That doesn't smell right...

Reinstatement of a military draft in the US would be political suicide. Unless some right-wing idiots are planning to allow an attack on US soil in order to create an excuse for fighting someone. Can't imagine it's against the Russians—the GOP is too in love with Putin.

Order in da courtroom, cuz heah come da draft!!  

Don't dismiss this as hyperbole.
The poor and middle class kids will be conscripted for no less than 2 years National or Military Service. Its in Project 2025. Public, (not Private) schools are being forced to take a Military aptitude tests. The information and scores are being sent to the Pentagon, with no further details supplied to Parents or schools.
Apparently the pressure for schools to apply these tests is enormous, despite pushback.

The US will now help Russia ramp up its war machine, and Ukraine gets screwed War is coming to all Europe, with US siding with Russia.

President Trump says he’s also inviting the Chiefs to the White House

Trump wasn’t shy about which team he wanted to win the Super Bowl. Now, after the Chiefs lost, he said they’ll also get a visit — for a title they won five years ago.

So much for meritocracy.  Half of the team is no longer on the Chiefs.  The Eagles should say "no thanks"....again!

This seems like a good opportunity to thank Kurtster and his ilk for their support in the ongoing f*cking over of America by the current cruel and utterly clueless Administration.
