Department of War? WTF is wrong with these people? Tell trump to pound sand.

[Nickyjo]

The Department of War became the Department of Defense through a two-step process: Congress merged the Department of the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force into the National Military Establishment in 1947, which was then renamed the Department of Defense by Congress in 1949.
So, would you have complained when they changed it the first time? Or is your objection just because it's Trump as is the case with so many Trump haters. No reason except you don't like Donnie.

We don’t like Donnie cause he does stupid shit like this and trying to rename the Gulf of Mexico.

 

[Metric Mouse]

Donald isn't interested in your little opinions on what he can or cannot do. Remember, he makes the decision about what the department should be named, Pete executes the decision, and @Metric Mouse and Congress get to express their opinions on the matter, nothing more. And if either of your opinions is that the name shouldn't change, it's not like Pete cares what you think or takes orders from Congress or yourself. Donald told him to change the name of the department, so the name will change.

But literally he can't rename the department.

And, in fact, he didn't rename it.

Why would anyone think he did? All news organizations have pointed out he needs congress to approve a name change, and he can only authorize an unimportant change in the titles people in the organization can use...

Like... no one actually falls for this shit, do they?

Did you not know this? Like, the name isn't actually changing... please look this up, and understand whomever told you this was a liar. And that person thought that they people that listened to them were so gullible they would never look up the actual facts before repeating the lies.

 

[Metric Mouse]

The MAGAt Congress will do as they’re told.

It's wild to see people who have been told they were lied to not accept it.

Trump can't rename the department. Anyone who has big feels about him doing so has been fooled.

But they won't admit it.

 

[Metric Mouse]

I know that, and apparently you know that. Does Trump know that?

No idea. Trump knows almost nothing.

But I do know that all the people upset about this don't know that.

They are dumb dumbs. And they will be fooled by others over and over again.

Sorry but it’s too late. It’s done. Go to defense.gov and you will be redirected to war.gov and see that the new name is already in place.

Like I said, your little opinions are meaningless to Donald and Pete. If they want to rename the department, they will do so, and there is nothing @Metric Mouse or Congress can do to stop them. They don’t want your opinion and they aren’t waiting for your consent or approval. You are nothing to them.

Trump renamed the department. @Metric Mouse may have big feels about him doing so but that just means he was fooled by Donald—again.

Of course he won’t admit it.

 

[Airyaman]

That’s what it was for 158 years and it’s a more apt name for what it actually is.

Should the oath that military members take be changed since they say "support and defend the Constitution"?

For what it’s worth, I don’t think you should refer to yourself as a “dumb dumb” - Donald fooled you again, sure, and it’ll happen again and again, but that isn’t so much a reflection of a person’s intelligence but rather their blind faith in His Word. You spent years shilling for him and following his orders to demonize his enemies, and in return he decided to rename departments without your approval or the approval of your Congressional representatives. Yeah, he made a fool of you. But you shouldn’t be so hard on yourself about it.

Trump Gives DoD ‘Secondary’ Name as Department of War, Circumventing Congress

President Donald Trump signed an executive order giving the Department of Defense the “secondary name” of the Department of War – a workaround for the fact that a formal name change requires an act of Congress.

www.military.com

The name hasn't changed. Smart people knew this.

Were you fooled by Trump into thinking it had? Most people weren't .

Yes., He added another title because it sounded ‘strong’. My comment t stands. WTF is wrong with him?

Maybe, maybe not but the potus has zero authority to actually make this change.

The name has changed. Just go to its landing page. You won’t see a primary and secondary name. You’ll only see the Department of War. It’s done. Donald fooled you yet again. Most weren’t, but you were. Sad.

You should probably check the website. Smart people would.

 

[Lycanthrope]

Just more impotent posturing by a desperately insecure elderly "man" who never grew up.

After Donald's gone it will go the way of "Gulf of America."

Did. It says the website can put up bullshit, but only Congress can change names.

Whoops.

Trump has authorized alternative branding...

Which is all he cares about. Because he's a dumb dumb.

But he doesn't actually have the power to rename this branch. Don't comply in advance.

You seem to be missing the point. Trump has once again done an end run around Congress as he continues to minimize their importance.

 

[Jay Falcon]

Every one of your posts is a lip smack on Trump's far ass. Isn't that even slightly embarrassing?

 

[Luce]

Now they're saying it is just "an alternate name".

TACO forever.

 

[Nickyjo]

Again, this is just Trump waving his dick around, like his sending troops to cities that haven’t asked for help and where crime has been down. His is a triumph of style over substance.

 

[Diving Mullah]

It would cost an enormous amount of taxpayer dollars to change the name.
For what reason does this possibly make sense?

More stupid stunts that don’t address problems US citizens care about.
Fix healthcare.
Fix Social Security.
Fix poverty.
Stop firing people.
Stop disrupting and defunding science.
Stop effing up museums, the Kennedy Center, Universities.
Stop with the tacky gold crap all over the White House.
Stop the dumb ballroom that few US citizens will ever set foot in.

Well, to be fair…


We are a nation of warmongers and gun nuts, yearning to kill and destroy. Our children die by the truckload and we say..."We need Guns...Lots of Guns!", We see infant die by thousands and we brush it off by calling them “future Hamas terrorists.” We let our allies be bullied by Russian thugs, and our first instinct is, “What can you give me to help you?”


We are warmongers, pure and simple—so let’s at least be honest and rename the Department of Defense back to the Department of War. Homeland Security? Call it what it really is: “White Homeland Only Security.” The Department of Energy? Let’s just rename it the “Oil, Oil, Oil Department.” And the Department of Education? Why not the “Holy Bible Education Department”


And so on, and so forth.

I think you touch upon on aspect of US schizophrenia, which is our clear reverence for democracy and fairness that is at offset too often by our imperialist actions - based on greed or paranoia - that match those of the Soviet Union, or the British and French empires.

Look, don’t get me wrong, I think it’s cute how you like to cosplay this thing where Pete reports to Mike Johnson and @Metric Mouse, but here in the real world he doesn’t care about either of you, and he doesn’t even know that one of you exist. Pete reports to Donald, and Donsld tells him what his department is called. This is why the name has already changed on any and all official correspondence. I realize you have feelings about being ignored by Pete, but we just can’t fix that. You’ll have to take it up with the Big Guy directly.

Performance art. That seems to be what many in MAGA find appealing.

After all, Hegseth himself noted that spending millions renaming the DoD as the Department of War would appeal to - or maybe even instill! - the "warrior ethic".

You mean schizoid personality or split personality often confused with schizophrenia. Actually they are not the same. If anything the US has a group psychosis and it’s President has an anti social personality disorder with a cluster of traits such as narcissism, pathological lying, lack of empathy. This is then compounded by Peck’s disease, congestive heart failure, and addiction to antihistamines and aderal. He also has fatty liver disease and kidney disease.

The people who surround him are all dysfunctional. Anti social personalities recruit weak who compensate for feelings of inferiority by attaching themselves to the oversized ego of the anti social person as they have little or no self esteem. The attachment to the larger ego now makes them feel strong but such individuals like Bessie, Lutnick, Miller, Vance, are rendered passive aggressive self loathing cult followers with no power.

Trump is a Putin construct and a virus planted into the American political system. The extent of damage it has done is still multiplying but the anti virus has been injected and is slowly offering an immune defence. That anti virus is called Epstein.
