    Broken clocks and all that, fantastic change. No longer can people hide behind the euphemism.

      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’s more like a ten year old boy who fucks three-year-old girls who don’t yet have the language to say what happened to them…and when they get snitchy, he threatens them with violence to shut them up, often demonstrating on a small animal.

        I think I’m trying to say he’s not just a precocious kid with anger issues, but a precocious kid with a cruelty streak and symptoms of physical neurological effects and poses a danger to himself and others.

    Sounds expensive. How much does it normally cost to rebrand an organisation of this size?

    (and that’s without needing to rewrite references to it in any legislation!)

    It’s not even that nice when you abbreviate it:

    Before: DOD = Dee Oh Dee. Has a nice flow

    Now: DOW = Dee Oh Dup?

      It use to be called the Department of War, but was changed for optics and Trump is terrible at optics.

    Unironically the only based thing a president has ever contemplated doing, except, like, the emancipation proclamation.

    I’m so glad President Trump is focused on the important issues, like renaming bodies of water, mountains, schools, and federal institutions. I didn’t need lower grocery prices anyway.

      The US government has shifted its rhetoric. But you’re fooling yourself if you believe we’ve meaningfully changed our foreign policy.

      Half the joke of the Biden Admin was in how it picked up Trump’s '20-era policies and continued them seamlessly into '25, with little more than a rainbow colored bumper sticker as a fig leaf.
