| The correct name is the Department of War. Calling it the Department of Defense implies a system of laws, checks and balances which no longer exists. |

| It very much still exists, and statements like this are what’s called “obeying in advance.” Don’t do it. |

| ▲ | krapp a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | I'm sorry but it does not very much still exist. Otherwise, Congress would be doing something other than praying for the Anointed One and his holy war. I'm not obeying in advance, but I'm not giving lip service to normality, either. | | |
| ▲ | jwkpiano1 12 hours ago | parent [-] | | You are. Congress could stop this right now if they wanted. That they aren’t is of course a problem, but that’s very different than saying the system of checks and balances doesn’t exist. The latter is giving the executive power it doesn’t have. |
