What a tremendous waste of money for one pathetic man's vanity.

DOGE-y of him....

Now there is plenty of money for all his pet projects and nonsense.

Let's debate whether or not we should have a department of war. Look how well that's worked out so far.

I was much happier with Defense in the name. If the people in charge don't like it, they should walk away and
get out of government and the military.

We must do what we can to make sure this bill is DOA.

Nice choice of words.

Shove that right up Trump's Bored of Peace.

for small-penised peckerwoods and pudknockers like Trump and Kegbreath.

Will somebody please rid us of these fucking monsters?

Oh god. Make calls. No f-ing ballroom. And the DOD must stay the DOD.

I don't actually care what it costs because if they change it to DOW we MUST change it back to DOD -- and happily pay to do so.

WORDS MATTER.

We are a nation with a military that serves our National Defense.

The War on Iran is a CRIME. From the outset, it violates international law and our own DOD Law of War Manual.

The mentality behind renaming DOD to DOW is the mentality of WAR CRIMINALS. It is the mentality of a crazy person who says "no stupid rules of engagement," tossing out the ENTIRE Law of War Manual with one sentence.

This simple quote should have been enough to impeach, convict and remove him from office. Treaties? Fuck 'em. International law? Don't bother me. Balance of power? Nonsense. Uphold the Constitution? Nah, never read it.

The only thing worse than the orange anus is the weakling GOP that refuses to stand up to this demented tyrant.

I'm in Western Washington, so I just make calls to my Rep. and Senators to make sure I'm offsetting MAGA callers that are probably pestering them (the Senators anyway) from Eastern Washington.

But if I were in a Red State I'd be drumming up groups of friends and neighbors to meet with our electeds and lobby heavily against the DOW insanity and ballroom insanity. The phones at local and DC offices should be ringing with a resounding NO WAY from the public on both the ballroom and the name change -- and I suspect they will try to jam them together into one bill. I don't know how they'll manage it within the rules, but you can bet they'll try to do this shit through reconciliation. (Not to mention lobbying against their plans to push through ICE funding, and lobbying to repeal the tax cuts on households that make over 300,000, and lobbying against the insane Iran war package, lobbying to restore WIC and SNAP and Medicaid and enhanced obamacare subsidies... so much to work to undo or stop.)

by changing everything now and keeping track of how much it's costing (also breaking the law) and want congress to then pass a law saying they didn't break two laws and refund the department the money they spent breaking the law.
