Good.

It should be. At any point in time the US is involved in 5-10 wars since Obama.

Calling it the Dept. of War is honest.

Pretty sure the Carter administration was the last one to have no new wars in over 100 years.

Edit: I was wrong. The US was still involved in wars during his administration.

It's been super easy finding out the USA has only had 8-34 years of peace in it's history, not so much what those years pg peace were combing lists on wikipedia with my phone.

The president of peace and all that.

We all agree this is just distraction and the arbitrary nonsense is really the point: "we make up what is true" is what they are trying to show.

At least he's showing what America has always been. A power hungry warmongering country.

[–] pheggs@feddit.org 4 points 23 hours ago

What's actually his idea behind that?

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 17 hours ago

Sure, fine, its true. Disgusting, but true.

[–] molestme247@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

I mean, it’s a more honest name at least.

It'd be the department if peace if he was leaning into the 1984 thing

I mean...we've been fucking the world up since Korea and Vietnam. Arguably also WW1 (2 we sort of had an excuse because of Japan). And South America before that.

In theory it is the idea that we minimize harm to the heartland by engaging threats/"threats" before they burn down the white house again (mad props to Canada).

But nah. This is just the republicans continuing to be fucking morons. Like when perry (?) campaigned on killing the DOEnergy, got appointed as head, and realized that there were nukes next to all that clean coal.

Can someone just get this child a bunch of pillows and blankets that he may make his dream fort so the adults can get to work fixing shit?
