Imperialists/colonizers being real for once. It’s not like genocide joe “defended” anybody either…
Departement of distraction from other serious business.
Department of distracting the public from wanting the Epstein files.
Remember: 77,284,118 people in this country thought this fucking spray-tanned baboon was fit to lead.
Ok, now do the numbers for the other fascist.
And they STILL think this. And before Canadians get all smug, look at how popular Smith and Ford are and how Poilievre got elected by a landslide in AB. The more Doug grifts, the better he does in polls.
Before libs get all smug… They still think kamalacaust and genocide joe were real alternatives.
King Charles called and said stfu AB. true story. First Nations were there too and I think they were filling in the eviction notices
Also AB conservatives won that same riding in the main election too. they are still short the riding pp lost in the first place.
By the by he’s not regained the lead of the party…yet.
I think we are all well aware that we are surrounded by idiots. We live here.
Some of us more than others.
God I fucking hate Louisiana.
Department of pedophiles
The files ARE the distraction
are you going to post this every time now?
Is it bad that my thought was “well at least that’s more accurate”?
My mind went to how “the department of defense” was Orwellian AF. I mean his reasoning is fucked don’t get me wrong.
I absolutely agree with you and surprisingly, Trump on this.
Broken clock and all.
You can tell he’s never read 1984, he’d definitely want more ironically named government departments if he had
I mean, “Truth Social” has all the irony of the Ministry of Truth, though I assume if it was named for that reason it wasn’t thought up by him.
Yeah, in this rare instance, I agree with Uncle Donny. The US hasnt fought a war for peace or defense in over 75 years. Might as well change the name to more accurately depict its purpose. He is still a moron though…
Well, technicallly it’s defense of private interests…
If he’s the moron, what do you call the 77 million who voted for him. Twice.
Cultists.
Even WW2 wasn’t a war of defence for the USA. The only thing they “defended” was a military outpost in the middle of the pacific.
You mean revert back to it’s original name.
It was the “War Department” from 1789 to 1947.
And also the Department of the Navy was its own thing for a while, as was the Department of the Army, then Air Force, before getting folded into the War Department. Harry Truman dissolved the War Department in 1947 because 1) WWII was over and so the US was not in a declared war anymore, and 2) there was a larger consolidation of war powers under the SecDef post-war.
If anything, name it the Department of Violence and Death and see how people react.
“we want offense too”
The obese imbecile being alive is offensive. The fact that it breathes is offensive.
And the fact that it’s not strapped to a guillotine that’s got a blunt rusty blade is fucking offensive!That’s very graphic
And necessary.
president of peace, everyone /s
He doesn’t understand the negative connotations behind it and why one of the main branches of the empire needs to be obfuscated in euphemism? I kinda believe the mental decline rumours now, lol, or maybe he’s just testing the waters to see if Americans still have that bloodthirst like the good ol’ Bush days, idk.
I think he just likes to dangle something controversial and shiny in his left hand so you forget he’s hiding the Epstein files behind his back with the right hand. He def knows how to rustle the left’s jimmies, unfortunately.
I think he is just that simple of a man.
Defense is not aggressive and therefore bad. War sounds aggressive so it’s good.
That’s it. That is the whole thought process of this simpleton.
Honestly, even turning the thought into a sentence, putting letters to the words, is more work than his brain did to get there
No, stop treating him like he’s some sort of brilliant conman. He’s never been. Even his own sister has said that he’s a moron - his entire plan consists of “I wanna”. I want it to be the Department of War, I want to be the one launching wars, I want to be the guy pushing the Big Red Button. He’s a narcissist, and narcissists rarely tend to think more than a step or two ahead. They assume everyone’s dumber than them, and they can rarely be dissuaded from this.
I agree he’s far from brilliant, and I really mean his admin more than him alone. There are some real insidious people with his ear
There are some real insidious people with his ear
Unfortunately not in a Tarantino fashion.
Hey, what’s going on?
mental decline
Are you forgetting he remembered “person, woman, man, camera, TV” that one time?
Because going to war should not be an ambition you dumb fucking fascist!
How does one still support a man child like this?
The answer is so simple, they’re all fucking morons.
I guess if you look UP to something like this, it says a LOT about you. Trump supporters are a special kind of special.
Be a wo/manchild
Mostly fear, all the way down.
Not relevant to trump, but: it is ironic that we (the US) haven’t fought a genuinely defensive war since 1812, and we only managed a draw in that one (which included our capital being burned to the ground and our greatest victory coming after it was technically over) because our opponent was busy fighting a bunch of cheese-eating surrender monkeys (and only winning because the fucking Germans helped out).
Edit: it’s hard to imagine somebody using the expression “cheese-eating surrender monkeys” and being serious about it, but I guess some people can imagine that.
WW2 was a defensive war?
In the sense of genuinely defending our own country from invasion or destruction? Definitely not. Hawaii wasn’t a state at the time and the Japanese never had plans to invade it anyway.
I assume you mean the French?
You do know they’re the most successful military in human history right?

Tell that to Alexander the Second Best!
That’s the joke
I don’t think it is but sure, hilarious.
It’s an old Simpsons quote. It was never meant to be any more than a one-off line, as far as I can tell.
The term gained political traction in the US, especially in right-wing circles, when Jonah Goldberg, a columnist for the National Review magazine, used it in the title of an April 1999 column on the “Top Ten Reasons to Hate the French”.[11] In the run up to and during the Iraq War, Goldberg reprised it to criticize European nations and France in particular for not joining the Coalition of the Willing, the United States-led invasion and occupation of Iraq.[2]
You should read what you link, it’s right wing adjacent because right wingers ruin everything fun with a disturbing lack of nuance.
Of course others have taken it to express hatred. But it wasn’t originally meant to be used in that way by the writer, and that’s the point I intended to make. I’m not arguing whether it’s right or wrong, I just noticed that its origin hadn’t been mentioned yet and figured it was worth mentioning.

The entire point of the joke is that we’re both rude and ignorant and rude out of ignorance.
No it isn’t
Speaking as the person who made the joke: yes, it is.
I dunno why, but I absolutely love it when someone comments “no it isn’t” without a comma and the person comes back with “yes, it is” with comma. Commas do a lot of work in creating tone in text and that example is probably one of the most obvious to notice/cite and one of my favorites. So I guess I have an idea of why after all lmao
Huh, normally I would have omitted that comma myself. I’m not sure why I included it there. I guess it was, as you say, to be even more of a dick to the OP. :)
I feel offended and lauded at the same time
someone put him out of his misery. its cruel to force him to live like this. cruel to everyone else in the world at least
I’d tell him to look at the flowers but he paved the rose garden.
he rather paint it gold, of which he is obsessed with doing, not even solid or pure gold.
Give him the Crassus
Come on Lucifer!! Take your fucking trash back, already!!
Judaic heaven might actually be hell for him. Sparsely populated grassy knolls, have to walk everywhere, nothing to do but watch sheep and talk to people, and a bigger tyrant that would get pissed off if he starts trying to regain a following.
Defense product >> WAR MACHINE
Military Contractor >> MERCENARY
Ambassador >> SPY MASTER
