SO TRUMP...

 


who's been begging Norway (and anyone else who will listen to him) to give him the Nobel Peace Prize, just announced that he's changing the name of the Department of Defense to the WAR DEPARTMENT, so that, according to Trump, the name will better reflect the department's mission:  WAR.


The Onion doesn't need a headline writer anymore; just read the announcements from the idiot King of America. 


"The order would authorize Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the Defense Department, and subordinate officials to use secondary titles such as 'Secretary of War,' 'Department of War,' and 'Deputy Secretary of War' in official correspondence, public communications, according to a White House fact sheet."



PS. For those of you who agonize over wasteful government spending, just think of all the money that will be spent on changing signs, stationery, and official documents -- all to satisfy the idiot King of America's fragile little ego.

Why isn't there a Peace Department, or Departnent For Insuring Peace?

Instead the Bright One takes the Department of Defense (name makes sense, right) back to the 18th century War Department. Why is that? Is the Bright One planning a war? Perhaps to invade Greenland? Panama? Venezuela?

Like all dictators the Bright One likely sees war as glorious and honorable, as long as it ain't him in harms way. Thank fate for bone spurs, right?

Awaiting his next proclamation... wondering how many will die, protecting the Fatherland.

When morons rule it NEVER ends well for the suffering people of their country.

Liberals object to calling a spade, a spade. BIG surprise.... NOT!

The era of bureaucratic euphemisms is over. Trauma culture therapeutics are finally on the wane, again.

Agree.

So let’s call it The Office of the President of the US, WHO PARTIED WITH CHILD SEX TRAFFICKERS AND RAPISTS and who wants America to believe that he and his 3rd wife knew nothing about Epstein & Maxwell as well as hundreds of rich & famous men, who were also his friends, raping little girls!

Let’s get rid of those euphemisms like when Trump said Epstein was his good friend he partied with who liked beautiful girls, “AND SOME WHO ARE A LITTLE ON THE YOUNG SIDE” — that euphemism meaning underage girls Epstein and pals raped.

Shaw Kenawe said...

I wonder what Trump's little euphemism referred to in his sweet little birthday card to Epstein, y'know, the one where he depicted a woman’s breasts and a “Donald” signature in the place of pubic hair, surrounded several lines of typewritten text, according to the WSJ, which reviewed the letter.

It concluded with the line/euphemism: “Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.”

Hmmm. "...another wonderful secret..." he wrote to Epstein who trafficked girls for sex to rich and famous men. I wonder what that secret Trump referred to meant, and why Trump thought it was so "wonderful."

That does seem like an appropriate name because defense is only one of the things they do. All for changing name to be more truthful. RNC to RDN republican do nothings and DNC to DLH democrats for hoax and liars. That would better represent who they are.
Now they have jen psaki questioning if trump is ill while she was in day to day contact with joey and said she 'never saw' cognitive issues when working closely with Biden. Brings liar and hoax to a new meaning

Not really Joe...

We're just not as invested in petty conflict and owning folks like many MAGA folks are. But if you prefer, we'll just call you Idiot Joe from here on because calling you "conservative" is an insult to real conservatives.

Trump - wave of the hand and DOD becomes DOW. That has to affect the stock market as much as the declining job growth. Add on a few letters and War becomes Warped. Onward and downward !

Dave Miller said...

I know, I know, I know... us liberals spend all our days dreaming up ways to stifle, stop and smother the political agenda of President Trump. So much so that when he does stupid stuff, like renamed the DoD, we scream about it.

Maybe we go over the top, as observed by this sharp sailor on the HMS Mothership who asks... without any self awareness or irony...

"I KEEP WONDERING IF AMERICA CAN SURVIVE WHEN A WHOLE POLITICAL PARTY JUST WANTS TO STOP EVERYTHING THE ELECTED PRESIDENT WAS ELECTED TO DO…"

Gee... I wonder when all this started? Maybe when a black man was elected? Check out these two statements from then Senate Majority Leader McConnell. It doesn't seem like he was too focused on letting a Democratic President, who was elected with real majorities across the US, enacy his agenda, does it.

"One-hundred percent of our focus is on stopping this new [Biden] administration..."

"The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president..."

Just sayin...

skud: "...,DNC to DLH democrats for hoax and liars..."

It's difficult to believe you wrote that without falling off your chair laughing.

Because when we read it, that's what we did.

In June 2024, Trump was asked if he would release various files -- including the John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. assassination files and the Epstein files -- during an interview with Fox News.

"Would you declassify the Epstein files?" Fox News' Rachel Campos-Duffy asked. Trump responded, "Yeah, yeah, I would."

In September 2024, Trump made a more firm pledge to release Epstein files during a podcast with Lex Fridman.

Fridman, in conversation with Trump, said "it's just very strange for a lot of people that the list of clients that went to the island has not been made public."

"It's very interesting, isn't it? It probably will be, by the way, probably," Trump said.


AND THEN HE FLIPPED:
"On July 16, Trump took to social media baselessly blaming Democrats for the files and those who he called "past supporters" of his for the fixation on Epstein.

"Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this "bullshit," hook, line, and sinker," Trump wrote on his own conservative social media platform."

"Trump doubled down on that claim in the Oval Office, calling it a Democratic "hoax." When asked by ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Mary Bruce if the attorney general told him it was a hoax or what evidence he'd seen of that, Trump replied:

"The attorney general, no. I know it's a hoax. It's started by Democrats," Trump insisted. He added "some stupid" and "foolish" Republicans had fallen for it."

Trump went from saying he'd look into the Epstein files to calling it a Democratic hoax once even his own people called for the release of the files.

But skud says it's the Democrats who are the liars and who perpetrate hoaxes.

Skud keeps talking about Joe Biden's presidency while completely ignoring the fact that the current POTUS was close friends with Epstein for years and years and had to have known about the pedophile ring he was running for rich and powerful men, since Trump himself was one of Epstein's close rich and powerful friends.

They self-own themselves on a daily basis.

Waking up to reality (truth) is for some an apparent near impossibility. Wether from ignorance OR wilfull ignorance is impossible to know.

Ms. Shaw, With most liberals it is all about trump and what I posted was about the RDN and DLH.
Trump is a felon who was convicted by a liberal judge of assaulting a women 25 years ago in a public dressing room that finally came to the attention of the American public. Yes he was found guilty of accounting mistakes so I agree he is a convicted felon.
Now about the RDN which use to be named the RNC. The are the party of do nothings except puff their chests out and say what they are going to do. Have they pushed forward on anything, no but they have accused many congresspeople like shift, pelosi, walters, of illegal acts but they do nothing with it.

The DLH is on record of lying to the America people. Do they represent the working class, of course not they are the party of the rich where the richest people in the country come home to roost. They shout about tax cuts for the billionaires which is the base but their rallying cry. They knowingly lied to the American people and their media followed along. How can anyone they say be taken as accurate or truthful.

Shaw Kenawe said...

Here's a question to you skud: Should a man get away with digitally raping a woman just because she didn't report it to the authorities when it happened 25 years ago? Are you not aware of how Trump counter-sued anyone who dared to make him accountable for his actions? Are you not aware of his fortune vs. E. Jean Carroll's at that time? Are you not aware of the way women and girls were treated when they reported rape?

I'm guessing NO to all of those questions, otherwise why would you keep harping on the fact that Trump was held accountable for what he did to E. Jean Carroll, even if took 25 years to do it.

Trump defrauded the State of New York. He's a crook from his head to toe and has been a crook all his miserable life. You seem unhappy to know that his criminal actions finally caught up with him. I wonder why.

skudrunner said...

Ms. Shaw, I support everyone being treated the same and if trump was guilty with carroll he should be punished just like any citizen. What I have issues with is the time frame for both trump and kavanaugh. Trump is rising the the polls and out of no where he is accused of doing something 25 years ago. Kavanaugh is up for confirmation and out of nowhere someone accuses him of doing something 25 years ago. I guess you have no issues with things coming out of the blue.
