I seriously think that Trump is the singularity of what should be known as a Stupidity Hole. Seriously. Think about it. Information goes in and never sees light again. No data, written or spoken is ever allowed to leave once absorbed. And once the info reaches the Epstein Radius, It is unable to escape its doom, and is pulled slowly towards the center where it will be broken down into unintelligible sounds that resemble that of grunts and gremlinesque slobbering.

And the more information he consumes the larger his radius. As a child, his stupidity only influenced small things. Like, toys and his hands. As his gelatinous body grew, so too did the mass of his dumb.

Think Florida man just happened? Fuck no! That shit was Mar a Lago. The circumference of dumb envelopes Florida in its entirety and is now what’s known as a “lost cause.”

To be fair, that is a more accurate name for it.

They missed a great chance to pull directly out of 1984 and call it the Ministry of Peace.

Good.

It should be. At any point in time the US is involved in 5-10 wars since Obama.

Calling it the Dept. of War is honest.

Keeps Epstein out of the news.

[–] l_isqof@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

Yeah, Epstein would have loved that...

[–] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 2 days ago

Ministry of peace

[–] MetalMachine@feddit.nl 20 points 3 days ago

I mean, that's definitely a more honest name, how much of what they do is actually "defense" vs just imperialism

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 28 points 3 days ago (4 children)

This is so sad

Also, I think the entire world may need to prepare themselves for invasion.

I seriously hope that Europe and Canada are preparing because this shit stain will start playing the land grab game soon

Are we still assuming he'll leave after his 4 years are up?

president epstein, trying to do anything to not talk about himself. constant threat of tariffs since hes been doing for a while isnt working, he moved onto the troops in LA strategy, followed by faking "health issues", and insulting people. hes going to keep recycling this until people get tired of it go back to talking about the files.

I mean, that's exactly what it was lol.

It was known as the department of war until shortly after WW2. This is one change where I appreciate the honesty. Doesn't make him any better.
