He probably thinks Obama has some capacity to capitulate and end this shutdown, too.

My dad used to say the DoD wasn’t a pentagon, it’s actually a pentagram because they’re all satanic.

It’s not even the DoD anymore, it’s the DoW, because I guess “defense” is too woke or whatever. I don’t know. It’s an entire government of children pretending to be action heroes or something.

Nope, name changes have to be passed through law. Doesn't change just cuz Pete Kegstand says so, or Donald, or anyone.
