If you really did so, I have a question for you: Why did you think you could trust him?

I mean, it's a more accurate name I guess. It's concerning that they're dropping the euphemism, but it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who's been paying attention.

Now rename the IDF to the IOF.

give me nobel peace prize or else

I think the only logical next step is for him to get an "I'm the bad guy" t-shirt. His supporters would still say it was just a joke.

Its sad and depressing that the sketch with the nazis asking if they were the baddies are more self aware than modern maga

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 3 months ago (6 children)

Not even the nazis renamed the Wehrmacht to Angriffsmacht

Is this him finally fulfilling his promise to restore honesty in the government?

[–] febra@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

At least he's showing what America has always been. A power hungry warmongering country.

[–] axx@slrpnk.net 5 points 3 months ago

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...?

[–] buttnugget@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

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?

Please get this man some more hamberders, fries and cokes. Also, maybe some doritos, fried butter sticks and corn dogs, stat.

Also, he's a pedo that was best friends with a pedo.

It's more honest, at least.

[–] pheggs@feddit.org 4 points 3 months ago

What's actually his idea behind that?

[–] skuzz@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 months ago

We are stuck in a time portal to 1929.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

He gets dumber by the minute

[–] Bgugi@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (6 children)

How wasteful, since the US hasn't been at war since 1947...

Should be the department of military policing actions.

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.
