    It’s fascinating how they really just do say the opposite of everything.

      They’re reading off 1984, and so they knew if they named it the department of peace they’d give the game away

    War is Peace
    Freedom is Slavery
    Ignorance is Strength

    Nope, not ringing any bells. None at all.

    Translation: Pete Hegseth hates this but Trump wants it for some reason so he has to go along with it.

    The worst part of this is that it will cost taxpayers billions.

      Billions is probably hyperbole, but 6 figures is probably the absolute bottom estimate.

        You clearly haven’t worked for the government or other large organization

        6 figures is dirt cheap

      Only sections of their bible carefully cherry picked by their leaders. Otherwise you risk independent thought.

    I think this is a nod to Russia “accidentally” sending drones into Poland.

    Suddenly article 5 gets triggered and Trump renames the department again to “the department of pacifism” - as the world rolls it’s eyes ans gets ready to detach it self even further from the US.
