I can't decide whether to make a nazi or snake joke, so I'm not going to make one at all.

Most people can't hear dog whistles.

I didn't even know dogs could whistle

it probably is. he can't rename the department of defense without congressional action, but apparently the moron-in-chief can make up 'secondary' names and titles:

Tap for spoilerIt's not just "SECRETARY OF WAR". It's "SSECRERARY"

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

True, but also fitting typo.

The picture shows "SSECRETARY." The quote shows "SSECRERARY." Maybe I'm missing a joke, but it looks like a typo to me?

[–] Tier1BuildABear@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The "joke" is that no one really knows if it's an accidental typo or if the current regime just really wanted an SS in there. After all, this is the same regime that let a nepo baby do the Nazi salute at the inauguration, and let someone have a swastika-American flag mix at their desk then tried to excuse it.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Right ... I wasn't referring to the first two letters. Or, indeed, the image.

[–] Tier1BuildABear@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Ah, I also missed that, and I would assume they did as well XD

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

I meant the typo that nobody caught

[–] Zier@fedia.io 10 points 3 days ago

That must be the instructions whiskey pete gave the person. Ans since he was drunk when he told the person, the wrote it down verbatim, drunk slurring and all.

[–] pdxfed@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

But they used "war" to own the libs so this is cool

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works -2 points 4 days ago (3 children)

This is actually what they want and one of the few things that makes sense. They did it in part, because they think defense sounds weaker than war, but also the US is often involved in wars. So defense really didn't fit well.

[–] Gnugit@aussie.zone 14 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You may have missed something

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 days ago

Oh, the double S 😅

[–] king_comrade@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Look a little deeper

[–] Darkness343@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I mean, the best defense is offense, so maybe they are onto something

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I don't want to confirm nor deny thay, but diplomats of most nations chose "defense" to appear less hostile and get better deals and partnerships going. They are on to something as well 🙂

[–] Darkness343@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Just take their lands and their resources.

Modern diplomats should play 4x games as a requirement
