Every public figure who uses the term “Gulf of America” should be taken out to the exact center of it and left there in a life boat.

… Why? It’s a way more accurate name.
“Department of Securing Oil Profits”
“Department of Fascist Fucktards” or “DoFF”
Still a laughable (if it wasn’t for reality) endeavor. It should be dismantled, not renamed.
Doesn’t calling it the Department of War make it easier to defund and eventually dismantle, though?
In this political climate? Hell no, quite the opposite.
And this political climate is all about never allowing another political climate.
You seriously going to ask that question after Trump won twice? This country is almost Warhammer levels of up its own ass about war being cool…
Because it was created by an act of congress and renamed twice by acts of Congress after ww2.
If the Republicans want to rename DoD they could have put it in their “big beautiful bill”, but they didn’t. So it’s still DoD and should be referred to as such.
Isn’t it good that we stop pretending it’s engaged in “defense”?
No. At least pretending to be good prevented these latest kind of wars
Uh… the War
ofon Terror?
Absolutely! They should rename it something like the “Ministry of Peace”, so it sounds softer. I don’t like negative and violent connotations. It scares me.
The “Department of War” was changed to the “National Military Establishment” by the National Security Act of 1947, and then to “Department of Defense” by the Department of Defense Reorganization Act of 1958.
Absent an act of Congress changing its name again, the official and legal name is still “Department of Defense”. Journalists accepting the new nickname uncritically are endorsing an unconstitutional power grab, and should be ridiculed and shamed for doing so.
It’s not like Republicans don’t have majorities in both houses of Congress sufficient to change the name, or even that congressional dems would waste their political energy opposing the vain renaming of a post-WW2 agency.
Republicans like “Noooo don’t deadname my special thing! Nooooo!!”
The anti-pronoun party once again fully understanding the concepts and yet showing us once again that the point is the cruelty, not consistency.
If the country survives we really need congress to officially name a DC public toilet for the current fascist
Calling it the Department of War was like the one good thing they’ve ever done. It’s the actual truth instead of the Orwellian nonsense
The only exception is when juxtaposing those titles with the administration’s claims that this is not a war.
“Secretary of War Pete Kegsbreath, head of the Department of War, claims that he is not waging war by deploying weapons of war against Iran.”
Secretary of War of the Deparment of War plans on sending warfighters equiped with lethal weapon systems into war to not fight war. /s
Just wait until Trump renames the USA to the Kingdom of Trump America, and the New York Times and CNN immediately comply as if it had always been so.

They’re, they’re!

But a war-grade fart to remain consistent
Ok but we’re going to have to kick another 100,000 people off Medicare to get it in the fart budget
Are there even that many left on it?
Hmm. If only we could come up with a select number of words to measure against to determine which major media outlets are propping up fascism with their choice of language and rhetoric. On the other hand i feel like its probably just all of them.
