THE GREATEST LAKES:

LAKE AMERICA

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS WATER

Someone shit their pants again.

I'd be shitting myself too if my legacy was cemented as being America's first felon rapist pedo traitor president.

Out of curiosity I just checked Google maps, hopoing they were just placating him. Nope still the thing I'm not going to ever call it.

What's next? Is he going to change regular words to 'America', too? I.e. 'positive' and 'negative'?

This pedophile is obsessed with changing names of things... "mine mine mine" mentality of a 4 year old. It'll always be Lake Ontario, just as its Gulf of Mexico.

I think we can use this opportunity to rename these bodies of water after indigenous names. I've heard that some people in Mexico are now calling the Gulf Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl to celebrate their indigenous history. We should rename the lake to a name chosen by the Ojibwe

Ontario is a colonial derivation of an indigenous word. Your own source provides 2 potential options for indigenous names: Ontarí:io and Skanadario

What's the difference between a (bad connotation) "colonial derivation" and a (neutral connotation) "transliteration?"

Remember, there was no native writing system and therefore no original orthographic form to be faithful to. "Ontario" and "Ontarí:io" are damn similar, so who's to say "Ontario" wasn't just a reasonable 17th Century transliteration from the time before diacritical marks were a thing?

We could ask the Haudenosaunee Nation, given that they're Iriqouian speakers

I would name it Lake Biden. Or Lake Obama. You know, to celebrate at least a modicum of competence.

How about Lake Epstein?

Or maybe one of the victims to not look like anybody is celebrating the guy. Im just worried Trump wouldnt get the reference. No way the guy remembers any of the victims names.

Nah, keep it Ontario, they may not be well managed (I'm not pretending a Ford is a good leader), but we oughta love them anyways. We can rename Lake Michigan to Lake Canada or something

The United States….

Bitch, no. Just the whiny pedophile rapist is considering it.

I hope Canada renames Trump to "Pedophile" in retaliation.

He didn't like ford telling him to kiss his ass, and calling him a loser it seems. ... ah well

Canada should rename it either Lake de Salaberry or Lake Brock.

The funny thing is 99% of Americans would be completely oblivious to the nature of those names. (They are military leaders who successfully repelled America's attempts to invade during the War of 1812.)

They should name it after the one that burned down the Whitehouse

There were two of them, but I guess they could combine them. Lake Cockburn-Ross.

Or they could rename the streets around the American embassy in Ottawa to those names. That would work too.

5

Well to be fair, Lake Superior, Lake Huron, and Lake Erie all also partially reach into Canada. So maybe rename all of them to Lake America too, just to keep it consistent /s

It’s virtue signaling at this point. I live in Fl and all the dumb ass MAGA call it the gulf of America. You’ll see all the loyal MAGA in those states pile on if he does rename a lake.

Honestly I don’t mind it anymore it tells me exactly who you are when you say it and lets me weed you out immediately as someone I want to know.

I'm not sure "virtue" is the right word. Perhaps "asshole signaling"?

How about we do the same to him? Like rename New York to Lesser York? There is all kinds of places in the USA that use names from the rest of the west, while we shouldn't do any business with them. Suggestions welcome.

How about we do the same to him?

russian embassy in prague has two entrances with two different addresses. in recent years, they were changed to boris nemtsov plaza and ukrainian heroes street.

if something similar happened to trump tower address, it might finally give that asshole a heart attack 😆

I think when it comes to Trump, the more personal it gets the better it will work. Like how Iran put a price on the head of his wife and his son.

2

That would require touching him. I have a strict hands off rule when it comes to pedophiles.

He's already so full of shit. Why would you want to add even more?

Why not change it to the lake that divides the child rapist protection agencies to the child rapist enabling agencies.

Now that is a spoiled kid in full toddler mode. The world is watching and, unlike old Queen Victoria, they are amused.
