New sign ≠ new law...the Department of Defense name hasn’t legally changed

[ColonelAngus]

Trump is a billion Hitlers and we are all gonna die.

He faked the assassination.

We know we know.

 

[ColonelAngus]

DeSantis, I mean Rubio, I mean Vance is MORE DANGEROUS than Trump!

DERP DERP DERP DERP

That’s not true. He didn’t fake the assasination.

Basically Hegseth wants everyone know they now identify as the Department of War. Everyone get their pronouns right!

LOL - yup.

 

[d0gbreath]

The department of "Ugh, good God y'all, what is it good for?"

 

[0311]

Everything Trump does is brilliant, according to his cult.

They have very standards.

Don’t be fooled: Legally, Trump didn’t change a thing about the Department of Defense. By law, it’s still the Department of Defense because only Congress can rewrite the name. What he did was the cheap stuff ... ordered “Department of War” slapped on websites, signs, and press releases. That’s branding, not law. The statutes, the budget, the U.S. Code ... all say Department of Defense. So if you really think he “changed the name,” you’ve been suckered by theater. The only thing that changed is the cosmetics. The law hasn’t moved an inch.

Awwwww, the commie from Crawford has a sad.....

 

[westwall]

If anything, call it the department of peace.

This is kind of a silly move.

I disagree with Trump on this one.

SEE WHAT I DID THERE YOU LEFTY CULT *****. I DISAGREED. YOU SHOULD ******* TRY IT SOME TIME.

I don't. That's what it was originally called.

 

[westwall]

A Russet potato to boot!

More likely a turnip.

 

[ColonelAngus]

I don't. That's what it was originally called.

I know.

It just doesnt do much for me. Like Gulf of America. Lefties worry about words. I am more concerned with actions and results. Which we are getting.

Dept. Of War does just that. We aren't defending, we are eliminating threats.

I prefer proactive measures, then waiting for the enemy to strike first.

Screw that.

Department of Peace maybe.

It is just a name.

It could be named the department of killing bad guys and blowing shit up.

The last is too wordy. And WAR covers it anyway.

Point taken.

 

[whitehall]

Let it go lefties. Do titles bother you that much when the democrat party is falling apart or is TDS sucking the life out of you? The name "pentagon" derives from the shape of the building. It isn't an official designation either.

 

[Dreadnaught1968]

Department of Offense...

Yeah but it put itching powder in the underwear of white liberals who just can't stand when he does these things.

 

[BackAgain]

A point so minuscule that it is not even worth the wasted bandwidth of a thread on USMB from the retarded lib.
