If you really did so, I have a question for you: Why did you think you could trust him?

give me nobel peace prize or else

Is this him finally fulfilling his promise to restore honesty in the government?

I mean, it's a more accurate name I guess. It's concerning that they're dropping the euphemism, but it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who's been paying attention.

Relevant George Carlin bit: We like war!

I think the only logical next step is for him to get an "I'm the bad guy" t-shirt. His supporters would still say it was just a joke.

Its sad and depressing that the sketch with the nazis asking if they were the baddies are more self aware than modern maga

This is a great sign. When they changed the war department to defense department, its primary mission went from defense to war. Now maybe it can go back.

Can anyone else load the article? I couldn’t. Does it address this?

At least he's showing what America has always been. A power hungry warmongering country.

[–] CountVlad47@feddit.org 5 points 3 days ago

I guess war is easier for him to spell...?

[–] axx@slrpnk.net 5 points 3 days ago

The president of peace and all that.

We all agree this is just distraction and the arbitrary nonsense is really the point: "we make up what is true" is what they are trying to show.

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 5 points 2 days ago

Now rename the IDF to the IOF.

Please get this man some more hamberders, fries and cokes. Also, maybe some doritos, fried butter sticks and corn dogs, stat.

collapsed inline media

Also, he's a pedo that was best friends with a pedo.

He gets dumber by the minute

How wasteful, since the US hasn't been at war since 1947...

Should be the department of military policing actions.

It's not even that nice when you abbreviate it:

Before: DOD = Dee Oh Dee. Has a nice flow

Now: DOW = Dee Oh Dup?

I'd suggest moving the coast guard and national guard, DHS, FBI to department of defense. Department of War/Offense that includes CIA/State department/NSA/Mind control propaganda is good. The $1T+ budget of department of offense represents $10k/year per tax filing household, and it becomes an obvious, even in "I like money" idiocracy state, that people could vote for a $10k annual dividend instead of paying for the department of offense.

It was already extreme BS to call US empire funding "defense".

Let go Donnie!! Fuck grocery prices. This is what is important.

We are stuck in a time portal to 1929.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 4 points 3 days ago

It's more honest, at least.

[–] pheggs@feddit.org 4 points 3 days ago

What's actually his idea behind that?
