    It’s fascinating how they really just do say the opposite of everything.

      They’re reading off 1984, and so they knew if they named it the department of peace they’d give the game away

    This is fucking funny.

    So many people on the left were like “it’s good that we at least call things what they are now”, and now we hear this?

      Whatever he says, doesn’t change the fact the name change is better than the hypocritical ‘DO Defense’

      It’s not good at all. Bunch of insecure, power tripping, drugged up mental teenagers running a country is never good, no matter how you call it.

    I think this is a nod to Russia “accidentally” sending drones into Poland.

    Suddenly article 5 gets triggered and Trump renames the department again to “the department of pacifism” - as the world rolls it’s eyes ans gets ready to detach it self even further from the US.

    Trump is then planning 1000 years of peace on Chicago? (I’m confused by his “threat” of Chicago finding out why its called the department of war)
