I can't see how this is related to Epstin files

This might be the most honest thing he's ever done.

Rare Trump win. No need for us to lie about what the Department of “Defense” does.
-
I'm pretty sure it also does defense.
-

Why need a DoW if you end wars and no wars were started under you last time and all that blah blah blah peace peace peace Nobel peace.
But war department yes.
MAGA explain, show me the mental gymnastics

I’ll play Nazi’s Advocate:
Calling it the department of defense, it’s easier for us to justify the “conflicts” we “end up in”. By removing the new-speak and calling it the Department of War, it’ll be easier to see our actions for what they are: waging war. Since that’s less palatable, it’ll erode public support for war. Nobel Peace Prize, please!
(Which of course is in conflict with his other words and actions, but who cares, apparently)

Just changing the letterhead on papers is going to run many $millions. Then the technology changes (codebase, email, domains, documentation, etc.) will be much worse. I can't believe it could be completed in less than 5 years.

I have mixed feelings on this one, tbh
On one hand, that was actually the original name. That changed after WW2 and to be honest I kinda think the name was part of a greater campaign to make it seem as though, somehow, the military actions that followed in the next few decades in the middle east, Asia, Latin America, etc. were actually all just "defending" the US. Which is bullshit.
On the other hand, having perhaps the most insane president this country has ever seen saying that calling it war instead of defense because its more accurate to the current times is quite concerning to say the least.
-
"perhaps the most insane"?
-
-
For a president who bitched nonstop about Democrats increasing national debt, he sure seems to enjoy doing it himself.
It's such a waste of money just to change the letterheads, signage, etc.
-

I guess he's accepted that he's not getting the Nobel. They aren't giving a Peace Prize to the guy that just created the Department of War.
-
Well, until and unless he can find some way to extort them into giving him one.

Why spend the resources and money to do stupid shit like this?
-
The opposition party is the media, and the media can only — because they're dumb and they're lazy — they can only focus on one thing at a time.
All we have to do is flood the zone. Every day we hit them with three things. They'll bite on one, and we'll get all of our stuff done, bang, bang, bang. These guys will never — will never be able to recover. But we've got to start with muzzle velocity.

"Gulf of Where The Fuck are the Epstein Files"
-
Cuz they have the mentality of stupid children, and they think this is badass.
-
Because they're a bunch of talk show dipshits. Everything they do is for social media.
All they've managed to do is walk around like a wrecking ball, while people scramble to undo the damage behind them
All they know how to do is make content... Which is certainly better than if they actually put in the work to achieve their goals
-
Small penii.
-
-
Can’t wait for this executive order to trickle down to all of us and we can have a good economy, no wars, no sickness, a solution to global warming, free healthcare, jobs…
-
onion? pls?
-
-
That's nice. Any progress on releasing the Epstein Files? Still waiting over here. Not gonna forget.
-
Give this man the noble peace prize! /s

Tell me you’re weak and small without telling me you’re weak and small.

You’re talking about the “resistance” that’s sitting around allowing it to happen, right? Sure would be nice if their opposition wasn’t totally performative.
It’s not like there aren’t people who could step up and organize. Mattis, Austin, Kruse, Vindman, Brown, Gates, Comey, Brennan, Mullen…. Bunch of fucking cowards, or they’re all fine with this.
