It’s more honest, and a retvrn to its original name. Time to drop the pretense. 
It’s like I tell libs - I like Trump because he’s the most honest president we’ve had in our lifetime. He says he’s going to fuck you, then fucks you. Lib/Dem presidents tell you they’re going to turn the world into sunshine and kittens, then they fuck you.
The department of defensive has never fought a defensive battle but they have started plenty of wars. Everybody’s mad because he’s saying the quiet part out loud. Still think the guys a real jerk.
wait, so he’s renaming the literal building to “Department of War”. i thought the pentagon was just the building that houses the Department of Defense. am i overthinking this?
to me, it’s like the President lives in the White House. and deciding to change the name of the White House to “Emperor’s House” or some shit.

Department of Golf
Trump renames the gold vault in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York Building to “TRUMP’S NYC GOLD VAULT” and the libs go insane. Meanwhile in Hollywood - the best minds in the biz are trying to come up with an even more insane plot for Die Hard with a Vengeance 2.
IVE LITERALLY BEEN SAYING THEY SHOULD DO THIS. im so so happy
Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.
The one thing I can see the next Dem thoroughly reversing
Rare Trump W
Libs are so worked up about this name change.
A Chris Hayes post where he’s troubled by a NYT headline - https://bsky.app/profile/chrislhayes.bsky.social/post/3ly2d2fyxik2w

Because this is what press under authoritarianism is like. Wait until they cut off broadcasting licenses and start censoring access to the internet. Srsly look at Russia, China, etc. we know what they will do if we allow it. So plan for the worst (pirate radio!) and fight to hold the line.
Lol. What are we a bunch of Asians.jpg
I was wondering if libs know that they can speak directly to people from Russia and China and ask them about their country, what things are actually like, why are they different than the US, etc. They’re not hard to find these countries have huge populatios. But then I also realized it wouldn’t matter.
Average opinion is the Asians are too brainwashed and the Blacks and Browns are too savage to consider having dialogue with.

It always irks me when people pontificate endlessly about how bad China is for Africa, entirely forgetting that’s a relationship different African nations CHOSE for themselves, unlike the monstrous bombings and government interventions by US or French governments without the consent of the peoples of those nations. I always try and steer the conversation back to that if they respect people from African nations as people, then those people have made this choice themselves; we don’t want others doing the thinking for us, and equally they don’t want others doing the thinking for them either.
get a load of this loony leftie, thinking black people have agency 😂
Burkina Faso is modernizing incredibly rapidly with the help of China. Also you need to inform them that the west overthrows or assassinates African leaders that don’t sell out their people to western corporations. China does not.
Looking back at my post my choice of words may indicate I think China is bad for Africa; it wasn’t the intent; I absolutely recognize how good China’s relationship with different nations has been. I’m reminded of something a lady in Zambia once said that the VP once went over there, landing in an airport built by China, driven on roads built by China, to give a speech in a venue built by China, about why Africa shouldn’t work with China.
Cooperating with America or really any Western country is just waiting for the knife to stab you in the back; China is not a risky partner in the slightest, and on the contrary has been a phenomenal partner. I recall something I once read about railroads built in Africa; the railroads built by European powers go straight to ports (for wealth extraction), while railroads built in Africa are designed to benefit the nations in Africa.
Hey their paycheck depends on that ignorance.
The average white person doesn’t think of Russians or Chinese people as real, actually existing people, they are merely a concept to them.
They can’t, they’re all bots except for the ones on Reddit threads with thousands of upvotes saying “I hate my country and I think the US should nuke and invade us and the State Department is telling the entire truth”
What does he have against the headline exactly?
I don’t see what’s wrong with that headline. It seems like a pretty straightforward telling of the facts. Isn’t that what a headline is supposed to be? Is it a lie or something I don’t get? It doesn’t seem to be implying anything good or bad about the name change, so I don’t get the problem.
what is the characterization in the headline
That is the headline.
Who’s on first?
-–
In all seriousness - I don’t know what Hayes expected. It’s not as if the NYT and other American media outlets became garbage yesterday. The media has published one pro-Trump article after another for years. A huge number of powerful people in the media loves Trump.
no i just mean how else are they supposed to say it? like i can’t imagine a more neutral or evenhanded way to put it
Liberals don’t want evenhanded. They badly want the Times to be theirs and the headline to be a pontification of liberal belief with praise of the shining City on Hill crap. I know that’s impossible. There’s no space for that in a headline! But Trump has made the libs insane.
I don’t even know what’s in the article. It might even have tepid criticism.
oh i get it now. they can’t stand reading one sentence that isn’t about the dang cheeto in the white house. well put comrade
This is my question. I can’t think of how else to express that headline. It’s pretty straightforward.
Is the idea that the headline should say something about how this is bad?

Please god, create a big beautiful firewall to keep the americans in. Sorry to all, I’ll miss some of you.
Is it just me or is news getting written more poorly on a wording level all the time?
Trump to sign executive order renaming Pentagon the Department of War
It’s usually fine to call the DoD “the Pentagon” after its building, but he’s not renaming the building so you have to be more specific in this case.
He reversed a Biden-era decision that had removed Confederate-era names of bases like Fort Bragg and Fort Hood,
Fort Bragg and Fort Hood are not “Confederate-era” names, neither one of these places existed until the 20th century. They have names in honor of the CSA.
Most journalists these days are something between a stenographer and a professional twitter poster, especially when it comes to politics. No wonder they’re borderline illiterate.
Department of War Thunder
Imagine the leaks
Feel like they should’ve kept this one in the back pocket until they were ready to start WWIII.
I’ve got some bad news…
Please step away from the lathe.
All in for nomonative determinism
Do a 9/11 and hit the department of war now
I’ve been calling the DoD by its original name for decades. The only thing they defend is corporate greed.
unironically a good thing. even a stopped clock is right twice a day
