Department of Defense to be renamed 'Department of War' within week, Trump says
Department of Defense to be renamed 'Department of War' within week, Trump says
Hey hey look over here! Stop focusing on how Trump paid for trafficking children for sex. Hey hey look over here!
I mean seriously, things are so bad that's the least worrying part. It's not like his base won't be easily convinced not to care, between his prostitutes, the Russian peepee scandal, "touch them by the pussy", what he did with his beauty pageants, what he has done with Ghislaine Maxwell, what he has said about his own daughter. His base just does not care, all the grandstanding was all fake.
He is still going strong with his plans regarding Greenland and Canada, and what he has done with Venezuela is foreboding because it normalizes doing it more and with further steps. The steps he is taking to make the US fascist are far worrying, there's no shortage of dictators who are completely and utterly detestable yet nothing can be done because they rule in a fascist country. You need to be able to prosecute him to make him having trafficked children for sex matter.
It's like a 10 year old boy is leading America
A 10 year old boy who is also a felon, a rapist, and fucks 10 year old girls, while letting other 10 year old boys dictate policy while he golfs and rapes people.
He's more like a ten year old boy who fucks three-year-old girls who don't yet have the language to say what happened to them...and when they get snitchy, he threatens them with violence to shut them up, often demonstrating on a small animal.
I think I'm trying to say he's not just a precocious kid with anger issues, but a precocious kid with a cruelty streak and symptoms of physical neurological effects and poses a danger to himself and others.
If we're honest, this new name more accurately describes the American military than the word defense does
It actually used to be called "Department of War". It changed in 1947, which was actually right around the time when the United States went full worldwide imperialism (though there were signs well before then).
Might as well have been named the "Department of Fighting Communist Insurgencies". Truman and Eisenhower unleashed wave after wave of US troops on any pre-ww colonial territory that was trying to throw off the yoke of European occupation.
With Global Communism finally crushed, and ethno-nationalist tin pot plutocrats once again in control of Europe and the Middle East, the US can return to its more McKinley-esque tradition of occupation, enslavement, and extraction. No need to pretend we're shielding anyone from the villainous Soviet Marxists or the vile and malignant IWW.
It's always interesting to see how and why we're living in bizarro world.
Thumbs up to orange man for correcting this mistake.
I'm so glad President Trump is focused on the important issues, like renaming bodies of water, mountains, schools, and federal institutions. I didn't need lower grocery prices anyway.
Onion?
checks community name...
Sigh...
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.
Lmfao finally something I'm glad he's doing!
The name change was fucking psychological manipulation for the population. You can't argue against defense department spending as easily as you can argue against war department spending.
Bring it on! Make our jobs easier you bumbling brainrotted doughnut dictator.
Truly a broken clock.
Department of Distraction from Child Rape Allegations.
lovd it, so catchy
Let go Donnie!! Fuck grocery prices. This is what is important.
Might as well. It was originally called that, and the DoD name was always kind of a lame coat of off-white landlord paint.
Yeah but it's the death of a euphemism. It was good that they had to use a euphemism.
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?
Broken clocks and all that, fantastic change. No longer can people hide behind the euphemism.
I... Approve or this?
Yeah. Department of "Defense" was always a lie.
It use to be called the Department of War, but was changed for optics and Trump is terrible at optics.
Who would have thought Americans would be so weak in the face of a fascist takeover. It's truly pathetic.
Has there ever been a more timid, passive, weak, complacent, idiotic population than the current USA?
From afar I watched them passively accept people dying or losing their homes because they couldn't afford health care. I saw them go off to fight stupid unjustifiable wars overseas with little protest. But it is when I saw them accept their kids dying in mass slaughters in schools with barely any outrage for decades that I realized they had lost their humanity. If you can accept such outrageous things without acting you can and will accept anything.
A large number of them actively cheer their own downfall as a nation, their own impoverishment, their slavery and their stupidity. I wouldn't underestimate the tasking of rebuilding a civilized society there. They might kick the Trumpists out with some effort but the rot goes very, very deep.
They might kick the Trumpists out with some effort but the rot goes very, very deep."
I honestly feel that the best thing for America is to break into two parts, let the Maga / Racists have their own country, and the normal ones their own. America isn't compatible with itself as it stands.
Has there ever been a more timid, passive, weak, complacent, idiotic population than the current USA?
You ever visited Ontario? Alberta?
Plenty of pushback against Trump. But the news coverage is always some mix of "These leftists are too weak to stop us" and "These leftists are ruining America! Send in tanks to crush them!"
Trump's already had somewhere north of three different assassination attempts on him. We've got protests and riots running from LA to DC. How many times does a President have to call out the National Guard to suppress the public before it counts?
there should be riots in the streets at this point. He's calling out the national guard for bullshit reasons and you're allowing him. The Europeans would have driven him off by now, America is a sham lol.
It's kinda ridiculous how out of touch the "why aren't Americans regularly shooting politicians" crowd is. Like, just completely ignoring how militarized American law enforcement is and treating the gun ownership rates as evenly distributed instead of recognizing that the same people who support Trump are the sorts to own 20-100 guns.
Hell, it wouldn't surprise me if encouraging leftists to go out and buy guns to kill politicians is straight out of the COINTELPRO playbook, given what the FBI has been doing to the Muslim communities in the US. But no, by all means, they should keep ignoring the organizing and pushback that has actually been happening and keep baying for blood, regardless of whose
It's likely coming your way. I'll be sure to link you this post if we still have access to the outside internet.
I'm between Lebanon which is already fucked and Nigeria which is, well Nigeria. More developed countries will be graced well before it hits these parts. Hopefully it will be too late then and lets just fuck the world.
Makes that 'are we the baddies?' a whole lot easier to answer.
Missed the chance to have a Ministry of Peace.
Sounds expensive. How much does it normally cost to rebrand an organisation of this size?
(and that's without needing to rewrite references to it in any legislation!)
And this fucker wants a Nobel Peace Prize? smh.
I mean historically the Nobel Peace Prize is given to war criminals, so he deserves it.
I think you're thinking of the Right Livelihood award. That's for people who do actual Peace things.
I seriously think that Trump is the singularity of what should be known as a Stupidity Hole. Seriously. Think about it. Information goes in and never sees light again. No data, written or spoken is ever allowed to leave once absorbed. And once the info reaches the Epstein Radius, It is unable to escape its doom, and is pulled slowly towards the center where it will be broken down into unintelligible sounds that resemble that of grunts and gremlinesque slobbering.
And the more information he consumes the larger his radius. As a child, his stupidity only influenced small things. Like, toys and his hands. As his gelatinous body grew, so too did the mass of his dumb.
Think Florida man just happened? Fuck no! That shit was Mar a Lago. The circumference of dumb envelopes Florida in its entirety and is now what’s known as a “lost cause.”
This lowers our cost of living, right?
Good.
It should be. At any point in time the US is involved in 5-10 wars since Obama.
Calling it the Dept. of War is honest.
Pretty sure the Carter administration was the last one to have no new wars in over 100 years.
Edit: I was wrong. The US was still involved in wars during his administration.
It's been super easy finding out the USA has only had 8-34 years of peace in it's history, not so much what those years pg peace were combing lists on wikipedia with my phone.
Many issues at play:
Good, that's what it always was.
Less hypocrisy
It actually used to be the department of war. But they changed it because it gave away that they were invading countries instead of doing self defense.
Trump is simply taking the mask off. Which is good, honestly.
Look out neighboring countries, the USA is switching to offense.
And here I thought that MAGA voted for peace... /s
They missed a great chance to pull directly out of 1984 and call it the Ministry of Peace.
War is Peace
I mean, that's definitely a more honest name, how much of what they do is actually "defense" vs just imperialism
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".
president epstein, trying to do anything to not talk about himself. constant threat of tariffs since hes been doing for a while isnt working, he moved onto the troops in LA strategy, followed by faking "health issues", and insulting people. hes going to keep recycling this until people get tired of it go back to talking about the files.
Yeah, Epstein would have loved that...
Ministry of peace
We're regressing, it should be named the Department of Conflict-as-a-service.
The should make the treasury dept the dept of making rich cunts richer
Release the Epstein files you pedo fucks
I voted for Trump because I was TIRED of getting into Wars!
Sounds like the propaganda worked wonders on you.
I think you missed the sarcasm
If you really did so, I have a question for you: Why did you think you could trust him?
The US government has shifted its rhetoric. But you're fooling yourself if you believe we've meaningfully changed our foreign policy.
Half the joke of the Biden Admin was in how it picked up Trump's '20-era policies and continued them seamlessly into '25, with little more than a rainbow colored bumper sticker as a fig leaf.
Well at least it isnt dogwhistled any longer :/
It's more like a dog trumpet these days
It was known as the department of war until shortly after WW2. This is one change where I appreciate the honesty. Doesn't make him any better.
I mean, that's exactly what it was lol.
That's great. Thanks. I hate it. Now release the Epstein files.
Now rename the IDF to the IOF.
I mean...we've been fucking the world up since Korea and Vietnam. Arguably also WW1 (2 we sort of had an excuse because of Japan). And South America before that.
In theory it is the idea that we minimize harm to the heartland by engaging threats/"threats" before they burn down the white house again (mad props to Canada).
But nah. This is just the republicans continuing to be fucking morons. Like when perry (?) campaigned on killing the DOEnergy, got appointed as head, and realized that there were nukes next to all that clean coal.
But nah. This is just the republicans continuing to be fucking morons. Like when perry (?) campaigned on killing the DOEnergy, got appointed as head, and realized that there were nukes next to all that clean coal.
To be fair, most people probably don't realize that nuclear weapons are under the purview of the Deptartment of Engery. Most people would guess the Deptarment of Defense cause nuclear weapons, war, the Pentagon, etc.
However, Rick Perry is still an idiot cause he was a governor of Texas for three terms and ran for President. Rick Perry should have basic understanding of how the Federal government works from being a governor; definitely should understand what Department of Energy does, if you are going to campagin on dismantling it.
Yeah about Japan ... the US kinda lit the fuse on that one when it got spooked by Japan's growing (manufacturing) power and expansion in southeast Asia.
Granted, Japan was expanding its influence aggressively but the US actions caused things to get worse quickly.
Dep of health > Dep of pestilence
Dep of Agriculture > Dep of Hunger
Dep of ? > Dep of Death
Department of Health -> Department of Death
Department of Agriculture -> Department of Famine
Center for Disease Control -> Department of Pestilence
Center for Pestilence, or CP. Oh, wait...
We are stuck in a time portal to 1929.
It's not even that nice when you abbreviate it:
Before: DOD = Dee Oh Dee. Has a nice flow
Now: DOW = Dee Oh Dup?
Not even the nazis renamed the Wehrmacht to Angriffsmacht
It was the Department of War when we fought the Nazis and Imperial Germany, who had a lot more goals in common with Nazis than people realize.
This is a nothingburger and people are embarrassing themselves getting distracted from the Epstein files and all the actual fascism.
I mean, it’s a more honest name at least.
Hey at least they are honest. 🤷♂️ When was the last time US military done anything defensive.
WW2 maybe?
Can someone just get this child a bunch of pillows and blankets that he may make his dream fort so the adults can get to work fixing shit?
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.
might as well be homest. that's what it was.
At least he's showing what America has always been. A power hungry warmongering country.
Is this him finally fulfilling his promise to restore honesty in the government?
Unironically the only based thing a president has ever contemplated doing, except, like, the emancipation proclamation.
I thought the playbook said it should be called "Ministry of Love"
"Ministry of Defense" is already doublespeak though
I thought that was the 'internal affairs' ministry, perhaps the Ministry of Peace?
Uh, time to re-read! Thanks.
This is actually great. It is a big problem that department of offense has always masqueraded as national security instead of insecurity.
It'd be the department if peace if he was leaning into the 1984 thing
That would require reading. Trump doesn't do that.
This just screams to me "I'm an old man and I'm butthurt about it."
He probably just forgot it was renamed to DoD, then decided to change the name cuz his 80 going on 90 year old brain has zero plasticity.
I'm actually sad to say he's going on 80. I wish it were your way.
How wasteful, since the US hasn't been at war since 1947...
Should be the department of military policing actions.
I just want the civil war at this point. So much if my mental anguish would dissipate if I could just kill some Magats
When you imagine this, don't leave out the part where you slowly starve to death over months, sustaining yourself on rotten, maggot filled food, while watching a new one of your family's bodies get blown into a red paste with each passing day because I think a lot of people forget about that part of war when they day dream about this stuff.
The problem with that is it will just be a bunch of traumatized kids who have been indoctrinated and used as cannon fodder while the real problems are hidden behind keyboards and walled gardens. Children who have been taught that everything bad that happens to them is the fault of this "other" group they fear and don't understand because of the sheltered and twisted world they're born into.
Authoritarians would LOVE for this country to be split, much easier for branches of control to take over.
Department of Bombing Non-white Children would be more correct.
What's actually his idea behind that?
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
Please get this man some more hamberders, fries and cokes. Also, maybe some doritos, fried butter sticks and corn dogs, stat.
Also, he's a pedo that was best friends with a pedo.
I think your spelling is missing an “L”?
Lorn Logs?
give me nobel peace prize or else
Relevant George Carlin bit: We like war!
I guess war is easier for him to spell...?
The Department of War had that victory over the Confederacy, too, right?
So back to the original name. No more double speak.
This is a good change.
It's more honest, at least.
Funny. I thought the Navy beat the Army more in the Army-Navy game.
I guess we couldn't have a female president because we'd have war only every 28 days
This doesn't even make much sense
Most of what the department of the defense does is defense and security.
My inner conspiracy theorist is telling me that someone at the DoD described climate change as a national security threat that the department needs to address as part of handling defence and that's what triggered this
Except for WW2, name one conflict where we defended anything or secured anything (other than did company contracts).
You clearly haven't heard of missile defense.
Department of Halo
Department of War Dependents Schools, or DoWDS.
I know this is out of place in this time in history, but I believe that to have been the case in the (maybe far) past.
Who started calling them ministries of defense and amidst what pressures from society?
Sure, fine, its true. Disgusting, but true.
Cool cool, let’s revert to the previous century as much as possible. Looks like he’ll be dead in a matter of weeks anyway
No, cunts are to be fucked lovingly, not repeatedly with a barbwire rod.
Sounds like someone is very desperate to keep people from saying WHERE'S THE EPSTEIN FILES???
