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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

They called it "defense" while bombing the world, and now it’s the Department of War with Chicago as its first target. The imperial boomerang is finishing its return trajectory.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.

This is not a joke. This is not normal.

Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Keep doing nothing you useless sack of shit

He wishes he looked anything close to that ai photo haha

Trump is 79 years old

This is twitter,

Trump is showing how weak he is. Also, this is distraction from all his failed policies and the Epstein files lol

Is that a confederate hat the ai Trump is wearing this is also probably race baiting culture war stuff

The real question is whether he enjoys the smell of his fucking diaper in the morning

I'm gonna be honest, I never thought the truth of Imperial Boomerang Theory would manifest in such a cartoonish way

Not to do this but like, Mussolini

One dream that keeps me going is hoping that this ends similarly inverted no-fash

[–] jack@hexbear.net 3 points 5 days ago

That does tend to be the outcome for fascists

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 56 points 5 days ago (2 children)

So Trump is going to declare war on Chicago? Wild shit

[–] spectre@hexbear.net 46 points 5 days ago

Chicago should secede, nice enough flag to rally around

Imagine the fucking outrage if Obama said the same thing and sent the US army and went scorched earth on Harrison Arkansas.

The chuds spent eight years sure that Operation Jade Helm would be enacted any day projection

Quoting Apocalypse Now as if it was pro napalm is just amazing

[–] Carl@hexbear.net 39 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Trump signed an executive order Friday authorizing the Department of War as a secondary title for the Department of Defense in a move that he said sends “a message of strength.”

Hang on, hang on, hang on.

They didn't change the name? They "authorized" a "secondary title"?

Department of Defense: The Department of War

Changing all the signs and stuff would probably be too much of a hassle and this was cheaper lol

[–] Moonworm@hexbear.net 13 points 5 days ago

He's not allowed to actually change the name; congress has to.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 40 points 5 days ago

The boomerang be arcing back.

[–] Crucible@hexbear.net 29 points 5 days ago

Remembering the time he had a meeting with Veterans for Trump or something similar and got in an argument with all these old chuds because he insisted napalm and agent orange were the same thing

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 28 points 5 days ago

completely unhinged president

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 22 points 5 days ago

This is concerning

This is the very beginning of america's punishment for the iraq war

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 15 points 5 days ago

One way out.
