President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order today changing the Defense Department’s name to the Department of War as a secondary title.

    Yeah no, we are not calling it that. Your executive orders aren’t law and I hate that everyone acts like they are.

    Just another distraction from the economy being destroyed, taking away all our public services, and destroying all our relationships with allies for the future.

    I can’t wait until this country ages out of its angsty teenage rebellion phase and gets through the resulting shame-fueled alcoholism spiral of young adulthood. There’s a slim chance we’ll survive to see it but hopefully there’ll be some sorely-needed maturity waiting on the other side.

    Mr. No New Wars Nobel Peace Prize wannabe went out of his way to re-dedicate our largest department to war. I can’t believe we keep putting up with this fucking lying ass grifter

      Its always been dedicated to war. All trump did was get rid of the euphemism and rename it what it is. This is one of his only policies I’ve agreed with.

    You know, when I first saw Dumb Dumb mewling about how the word “Defense” is woke or whatever the fuck, I thought he might have been reading Chomsky, since Chomsky has been talking about the rename for as long as I can remember.

    Is Taco a Chomsky fan? 🤣
