WOOOAH
Anyone wanna place bets on him introducing a Department of Truth and a Department of Love next?
Better bet is if he lives for another full month. The idiot is circling death bed.
Remember: 77,284,118 people in this country thought this fucking spray-tanned baboon was fit to lead.
And they STILL think this. And before Canadians get all smug, look at how popular Smith and Ford are and how Poilievre got elected by a landslide in AB. The more Doug grifts, the better he does in polls.
King Charles called and said stfu AB. true story. First Nations were there too and I think they were filling in the eviction notices
Also AB conservatives won that same riding in the main election too. they are still short the riding pp lost in the first place.
By the by he’s not regained the lead of the party…yet.
I think we are all well aware that we are surrounded by idiots. We live here.
Some of us more than others.
God I fucking hate Louisiana.
Setting aside my Trump hate for a moment: this is a good thing. “Department of Defense” was always a euphemism. “Defense spending” my ass. Let’s call it what it is and then see if Americans feel as good about spending so much on a “Department of War” versus “Defense.”
There's a reason why after WWII the Department of War was renamed Department of Defense.
We weren't at war. We're not currently at war, either. Chester's gotta ask Congress to rubber-stamp a war first.
This isn't a good thing because it's not an effort to be more honest, it's a signal of future intent.
Do not underestimate this country's propensity to proudly engage in jingoism. Just look at our history to see how that went.
Thinking like that its a good thing right up until the voters are actually stoked about a department of war.
Guarantee it wont be long until youre seeing red hats going off about how cool it is they finally have a department of war as if its a whole new thing.
"Remember how much ass we kicked with only a defense department? Look out world! MIGHTY TRUMP finally made a department of war too!"
I’m sure you’re right about a certain segment of people. I don’t think the euphemistic name is holding those people back from loving the military though.
I do think it’s hard for Congress to sell the general public on “cuts to our defense” though, and cuts to the “Department of war” will be an easier sell.
So mad that twat missed him and only grazed his ear
You’re talking as it that was not staged at all.
Come on Lucifer!! Take your fucking trash back, already!!
It's the same reason Captain America beats people up with a shield.
It's hard to think of yourselves as as a saviour otherwise.
Is it bad that my thought was "well at least that's more accurate"?
My mind went to how "the department of defense" was Orwellian AF. I mean his reasoning is fucked don't get me wrong.
It was the "War Department" from 1789 to 1947.
And also the Department of the Navy was its own thing for a while, as was the Department of the Army, then Air Force, before getting folded into the War Department. Harry Truman dissolved the War Department in 1947 because 1) WWII was over and so the US was not in a declared war anymore, and 2) there was a larger consolidation of war powers under the SecDef post-war.
If anything, name it the Department of Violence and Death and see how people react.
I absolutely agree with you and surprisingly, Trump on this.
Broken clock and all.
You can tell he's never read 1984, he'd definitely want more ironically named government departments if he had

Yeah, in this rare instance, I agree with Uncle Donny. The US hasnt fought a war for peace or defense in over 75 years. Might as well change the name to more accurately depict its purpose. He is still a moron though....
If he's the moron, what do you call the 77 million who voted for him. Twice.
Cultists.
Even WW2 wasn't a war of defence for the USA. The only thing they "defended" was a military outpost in the middle of the pacific.

How does one still support a man child like this?
I guess if you look UP to something like this, it says a LOT about you. Trump supporters are a special kind of special.
The answer is so simple, they're all fucking morons.
Be a wo/manchild
Literally exactly what a child would say.
We must stop spreading everything he says
president of peace, everyone /s
Defense product >> WAR MACHINE
Military Contractor >> MERCENARY
Ambassador >> SPY MASTER
Not relevant to trump, but: it is ironic that we (the US) haven't fought a genuinely defensive war since 1812, and we only managed a draw in that one (which included our capital being burned to the ground and our greatest victory coming after it was technically over) because our opponent was busy fighting a bunch of cheese-eating surrender monkeys (and only winning because the fucking Germans helped out).
Edit: it's hard to imagine somebody using the expression "cheese-eating surrender monkeys" and being serious about it, but I guess some people can imagine that.

"we want offense too"
The obese imbecile being alive is offensive. The fact that it breathes is offensive.
And the fact that it's not strapped to a guillotine that's got a blunt rusty blade is fucking offensive!

Anytime this fool says anything, it sounds like I'm listening to a fucking toddler.
It'll sound a lot better to the average voter to defund the department of war than to defund the department of defense.
History lesson for anyone who needs it, including occupants of the White House: The Department of Defense was created in 1947 by merging the Department of War, the Department of the Navy, and the recently formed Department of the Air Force. Prior to the merger, the War Department managed only the Army. The name Department of Defense was political: it didn’t reuse any of the names of the former departments, so it couldn’t be seen as one absorbing the others, i.e. the Army absorbing the Navy and the Air Force they had just spun off from the Army Air Corps.
Also in a way it's not made our jobs easier. It's difficult to argue cutting "defense" funds, but it's a lot easier to be against a "war" department.
