They have think-tanks dedicated to coming up with the worst decisions possible, for real.

Demons pale in comparison to what kind of evil humans can do.

We should make them our pets

Hopefully his next announcement will be from the Dark House in the Doughnut Office from behind the Whimsical Desk.

Mr. Nobel Peace prize

A 10 year old boy who is also a felon, a rapist, and fucks 10 year old girls, while letting other 10 year old boys dictate policy while he golfs and rapes people.

He wants a Nobel because Obama got one. Could it be any more obvious?!

Trump hates Obama's guts, and Obama drove him to run for the Presidency. Don't believe me? That single roast changed world history. I mean that. That video will be studied 300 years from now as a lever that changed the Western world.

I mean historically the Nobel Peace Prize is given to war criminals, so he deserves it.

I think you're thinking of the Right Livelihood award. That's for people who do actual Peace things.

Time is money, money is power, power is pizza, and pizza is knowledge, let's go!

Kind of. The Department of War was the Army only. The Department of Navy was its own department and operated based on a different set of military demands, which was a major reason why the Marines exist.

It wasn't until after World War II when the USA recognized the difficulty in having two separate departments for the military made combined operations hard to implement. You also had the Army maintaining a larger peacetime size and a third branch, the Air Force, being created to optimize for a new theater of war.

It was called that back when we were kicking the shit out of fascists, just like tod ... oh.

Truly a broken clock.

To make a slight counter, the Defense Department does more than fight. We have humanitarian mission capabilities, and we use it. When shit goes down, you want the military to roll in.

I've told the story many times, but after Hurricane Ivan I assumed I was on my own. When the Florida Guard rolled in the next morning I was weeping in the streets, on my knees, thank god, thank god. I had no idea there would be any aid. Most humbling. Tearing up now in fact.

I also wept, most literally, when the Mississippi Guard rolled in after Katrina. My FIL was there. Two bronze stars from Iraq, the Mississippi coast broke him, PTSD. He was never the same man after cutting houses in half with chainsaws, pushing corpses aside, leading the tip of the spear.

“People sleep peaceably in their beds at night because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.”

Whoever said it, or didn't, we need such men.

Came here to say this. It's exactly when it became the department of defense that we had never ending war.

Though I'd still like it to be named the department of defense and then actually do defense. Unless there is a threat of an American being attacked on domestic ground by a foreign power, this isn't really the intended purpose of the military under our constitution.

We should not "defend" our "interests abroad." We shouldn't have interests abroad. That's also one of the founding ideas of this country. "Defend our interest abroad" is an intentionally vague euphemism for "if we didn't use a euphemism and just told you in plain words what we're doing you wouldn't like it because what we are doing is killing people to protect the profits of a very tiny number of people whose company would lose profit if we didn't." If that's not what that euphemism means they wouldn't need a euphemism.

It actually used to be called "Department of War". It changed in 1947, which was actually right around the time when the United States went full worldwide imperialism (though there were signs well before then).

lovd it, so catchy

Yeah but it's the death of a euphemism. It was good that they had to use a euphemism.

Well, Dept. of War and Dept. of The Navy became DoD. I used to work for them, some people think I'm a Veteran because I use the block print and the 24h time and today is 25Aug25. I'm not, never been shot at but that shit just gets ingrained in you.

I mean seriously, things are so bad that's the least worrying part. It's not like his base won't be easily convinced not to care, between his prostitutes, the Russian peepee scandal, "touch them by the pussy", what he did with his beauty pageants, what he has done with Ghislaine Maxwell, what he has said about his own daughter. His base just does not care, all the grandstanding was all fake.

He is still going strong with his plans regarding Greenland and Canada, and what he has done with Venezuela is foreboding because it normalizes doing it more and with further steps. The steps he is taking to make the US fascist are far worrying, there's no shortage of dictators who are completely and utterly detestable yet nothing can be done because they rule in a fascist country. You need to be able to prosecute him to make him having trafficked children for sex matter.

Amazing :33

The United State military, though the strongest on Earth, cannot compete with the combined forces of Canada and Europe. OTOH, the rest of the "free" world doesn't seem to be taking us seriously enough.

OTOOH, us American's aren't willing to go full war against our friends, and it takes hella more to drive our war machine than Trump has charisma. Civilians drive that machine, can't do without them, think on that. We're not 1930s Germany, starving under hyperinflation.

please sabotage some shit before you leave

It's more like a dog trumpet these days
