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.

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

Relevant George Carlin bit: We like war!

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?

What's actually his idea behind that?

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 4 points 1 month ago

It's more honest, at least.

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

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

Now: DOW = Dee Oh Dup?

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

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.

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".

Unironically the only based thing a president has ever contemplated doing, except, like, the emancipation proclamation.

Funny. I thought the Navy beat the Army more in the Army-Navy game.

So back to the original name. No more double speak.

This is a good change.
