Broken clocks and all that, fantastic change. No longer can people hide behind the euphemism.
Good. It is.
Thank you President Trump.
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.
We are stuck in a time portal to 1929.
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!)
This lowers our cost of living, right?
It’s not even that nice when you abbreviate it:
Before: DOD = Dee Oh Dee. Has a nice flow
Now: DOW = Dee Oh Dup?
Unironically the only based thing a president has ever contemplated doing, except, like, the emancipation proclamation.
And here I thought that MAGA voted for peace… /s
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).
It’s always interesting to see how and why we’re living in bizarro world.
Thumbs up to orange man for correcting this mistake.
Say what you will (and there is a lot to say), but MAGA tends to want to undo bad neoliberal habits too.
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.
I… Approve or this?
It use to be called the Department of War, but was changed for optics and Trump is terrible at optics.
Yeah. Department of “Defense” was always a lie.
Keeps Epstein out of the news.
Missed the chance to have a Ministry of Peace.
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.
