Let go Donnie!! Fuck grocery prices. This is what is important.
Even his distractions lame
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.
Good.
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?
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.
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 dividend instead of paying for the department of offense.
It was already extreme BS to call US empire funding "defense".
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.
... precocious?
As in precocious puberty. Kids who are sexually activated (by premature hormone reactions which can be triggered -- not always -- by sexual abuse) so they get sexually interested before their peers, and ruin recess for everyone else.
When I was growing up (mind you, I was a late, late bloomer) precocious puberty in girls was punished brutally (say being grounded for life). Precocious puberty in boys was rewarded with early sports careers, unless you sucked, in which case you were punished for being a sex pest. This was a source of bullies that preyed on the rest of us.
This is to say, the US really doesn't know how to parent or teach or otherwise administrate children. This is also to say I am way, way bitter about it.
ETA This is one of the purposes of puberty blockers, when it's not used to let questioning trans kids decide to deliberate on what they want to be for a while, so I hope things are generally better. But then, considering how puberty blockers are now politicized, precocious puberty is also politicized, which ruins everyone's Sunday brunch.
Yeah I think trump is the polar opposite of precocious. He still acts like a spoilt child at 79
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.

Broken clocks and all that, fantastic change. No longer can people hide behind the euphemism.
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.
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.
TRUMP RAPES CHILDREN.
Here are all of the Epstein Files that have either been leaked or released.

Trump’s name is circled. The circled individuals are the ones involved in the trafficking ring according to the person who originally released the book. These people would be “The List “ Here is the story.

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!)
Missed the chance to have a Ministry of Peace.
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.

Good. It is.
Thank you President Trump.
And here I thought that MAGA voted for peace... /s
This lowers our cost of living, right?
Onion?
checks community name...
Sigh...
Who would have thought Americans would be so weak in the face of a fascist takeover. It's truly pathetic.

Might as well. It was originally called that, and the DoD name was always kind of a lame coat of off-white landlord paint.
