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

    No I don’t say anything to them. When Covid was going on they were insane and I did try to correct them about it but that quickly escalated to the point where I was getting death threats and I had to be moved to another crew. Since then I just listen and observe them.

      I mean, I guess I’m just cut from a different cloth. If someone threatened me with death, I would go ape shit. They only did to shut you up, and it sounds like they got what they wanted. Seriously, just cause they aren’t sending you death threats now doesn’t mean they don’t want you any less dead. So why keep quite? They’re crazy? Shit you are insane then.

      I’ve been threatened for my beliefs before, and I straight up told the dude I would gut him and shit in the wound. Of course they’re gonna act crazy, but they’re pussies. Think about it. They are threatened by gay folks. Some of the chillest folks. Trans folks make them break down. They’re weak. They use threats of violence to scare us, and we all go. “They’re crazy they threatened me with death.” Every day these fuckers are threatening you with death, just under their breathe. But the moment you start threatening them back, either they’ll go “it was just a joke.” Or “I didn’t mean it like that.” Or they’ll cower away.

      In my rant, I will say, be ready to fight. Even if you aren’t a fighter, always be aware of what weapons or items you have around. Remember, knees and faces are weak and no such thing as a fair fight. Pull hair. Bite. Jam a finger in an eye. Tyson their ear. Whatever it takes to win.

      I am really sorry you have to deal with it. I wish I could clone myself and send my crazy ass to these folks. I just can’t back down from it. Maybe it’s the way my mama raised me, but if you’re gonna threaten the communities I care about and the people I care about, we can spill blood. We can spill it in the gutters, in the streets, and on the rocks.

      Please do be safe, though.

        I appreciate the concern, trust me I’m perfectly fine and safe I’ve been through a lot in my life. I was diagnosed with a severe mental illness when I was a teenager and have struggled with that most of my life. And in all honesty dealing with these asshats is a walk in the park compared to my darkest days as a teenager.
