"Trump Accountability War Room". Because suddenly presidential accountability is VERY important.

.....wait, what?

Also, using the term "war room" for everything. Peak USA.

what’s the point of a room if you can’t have a war in it

The war room was a joke in Dr. Strangelove, so of fucking course it became a real thing.

It's important to me that y'all realize war rooms are a real thing, have been for centuries if not millennia, and weren't invented for movies or news.

Well calling it a Revenge Room would have been too obvious.

Just copied Alberta Canada. We have had a war room for years now. A war room can’t climate activists I think it is.

Gotta admit, that's pretty damn cool, for Canada, anyway.

It's literally just a section of a news website. A website run by people dedicated to holding the rich and powerful accountable.

I can only assume you're a Trumper, mocking the mere concept of accountability, and throwing shade at people opposed to the president-elect.

Yeah I think you missed my point there, scooter. I'm questioning the reasoning. As in, "after hundreds of years, you are saying that ONLY NOW do we need an "Office of Accountability"? Boggles my mind. Where was this 200 FUCKING YEARS AGO? Oh, "BUT ITS TRUMP, SOMEONE NEEDS TO KEEP AN EYE ON HIM" Holy fuck. Everyone is just

So

Stupid

If that's what you got out of his comment, maybe you should stick to the meme communities, then at least you can pretend your not understanding is just a bit you're doing.
