Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

In a lot of ways, he's the most honest modern president we've had.

He's the embodiment of America with its mask taken off

Hogseth is probably so stoked he gets to be the secretary of war

Worse than the time someone called a reactionary church man in a Cold War pulp novel "Bishop McCarthy".

Calling it now: when the Dems get back in the White House all they’re gonna do is revert this and the Gulf of Mexico thing. Nothing else.

they didn't reverse any Trump 1 shit, even the dork-ass space force

[–] Carl@hexbear.net 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Space Force was a thing military nerds have been saying we need for ages, at least. It's dumb because we should be downsizing our bloated military but as long as it's the size it is having a dedicated command structure for all the spy satellites makes more sense than having the air force and navy both doing their own thing.

[–] Euergetes@hexbear.net 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

i dont even think the airforce should exist administratively, but the most embarrasing thing about spaceforce is it's name and branding, neither of which Brandon did shit about.

Liminal, subliminal, and superliminal messaging

[–] mudpuppy@hexbear.net 17 points 2 days ago

its so so awesome. this is the second good thing hes done, the first was playing star wars

[–] Philote@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 days ago

I mean killing people is all about the D.O.W. Jones and military contractors profits, so fitting I guess.

[–] FnordPrefect@hexbear.net 12 points 2 days ago

a-little-trolling You know what they say, 'War is Peace'! Big Brother, we all love Big Brother don't we folks, said that. No one ever said, 'Defense is Peace'

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

All this will do is make them spend insane amounts of money on signs and letterheads..

[–] alexei_1917@hexbear.net 4 points 2 days ago

Which I'd be all for, if it would come out of their budget for deadly toys and standard issue equipment. But it won't, it'll come out of some other actually important thing that taxpayer money is meant to pay for.

Maybe that's the angle to get the liberals mad about this, the fact that it's pointless waste on the taxpayer's dime, caused by people who claim to be fiscal conservatives.

I was just saying this the other day, reminding someone is used to be a more honest country when we called it the Department of War. I like the blatantness
