    I mean, that’s just honest 🤷

    Granted, honesty comes as naturally to the Mango Mussolini as algebra to a fish, so there’s no way that accuracy is the reason for it.

    If it would stop politicians from funding it, I’d agree with this move. But it won’t, so I don’t.

    I feel like this is one of those “a broken clock is right twice a day” scenarios.

    “Department of War” is a far more accurate description of what they do. Calling it the “Department of Defense” is just propaganda/political spin.

    That being said, Trump’s motivation for this is idiotic and the way he’s going about it is dumb as hell, but that actually is a better name.

      The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war, the Ministry of Truth with lies, the Ministry of Love with torture and the Ministry of Plenty with starvation. These contradictions are not accidental, nor do they result from ordinary hypocrisy: they are deliberate exercises in doublethink.

      One less think helps him be 2x faster than all previous presidents ;-)

    As statements of intent go, it’s pretty ominous. One thing you can say about Trump is if he hints he’s going to do something horrible, he will do it.

    (If he says he’ll do something good, like release the Epstein files, forget about it.)

    So now we actually have to pay attention when the headlines are yelling something about the DOW?
