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.

That's great. Thanks. I hate it. Now release the Epstein files.

[–] FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 month ago

I mean, it’s a more honest name at least.

On related news, the IDF will be named the ITF, for Tourism, based on their recent touring of neighbours' lands to pick their favourite.

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.

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago

This is actually great. It is a big problem that department of offense has always masqueraded as national security instead of insecurity.
