And desensitize. The Gulf of Mexico bullshit lasted months, this lake idiocy maybe a solid week. Not the effect PEDOPOTUS had in mind.

We don't get anything. DJT signed this executive order on about the same day that a report came out saying the USA's defense missiles in Europe are critically low and unable to repel a serious Russian attack because the missiles have been moved to the middle east and/or used against Iran.

Now we're talking about Lake Ontario instead of our inability to defend our European interests and positions.

It was always intended to wag the dog.

Canada should invade and claim Lake Ontario. The US can't defend against it.

He's only doing it to elicit anger. He's just a petty little bully. While it might distract from the Epstein files or the domestic policy dumpster fire, i don't think he's doing it for any other reason than it amuses him to piss people off.

And its base of idiots LOVE it... they think it is a strong capable leader that gets shit done... meanwhile they're paying a considerable amount more for everything than they were mearly 2.5 years ago and do not see any correlation about WHO caused this mess. They say "ah we gotta take the hit for a little while till he makes things better!"

They don't understand their lives were better economically before the pedophile, but they couldn't be openly racist and misogynistic. That's the part they love.

His state of the union was more intelligible and inspiring.

Americans get nothing. The president gets another distraction from whatever batch of crimes he's committing today.

Yeah too many people are talking about things like data centers, flock cameras, digital id, central bank digital currency, so starting meaningless fights about what a lakes name is serves to get people off the important topics.

It's just culture war bullshit. Trump gets to distinguish himself from other politicians and pretend he's doing something for the nationalists without actually spending any money or improving their lives in any way. It also means people talk about this instead of the Iran War or the Epstein files or the masked thugs raiding workplaces and hunting down minorities.

Keep an eye out for the other side of this which will be establishment politicians running on "restoring sanity" by changing it back to Lake Ontario, because they don't want to run on abolishing ICE or anything that actually matters.

It's just another loyalty test thing so the wannabe emperor can quickly and easily determine who's openly on his side.

The American people don't gain anything.

The American regime is "flooding the zone".

A reputation for being untrustworthy, and pushing economic activity away from their economy.

A distraction from things that matter.

Btw, what happened to those Epstein Files? The ones that didn't get released like the law said they had to be? What's the point of laws again?

It's not about Americans at all. This is entirely about the rapist-in-chief's pwecious fee-fees.

We get nothing which is what we get from most of the things happening currently.

13

Distraction. From what, I couldn't say exactly. Actually, yes I can. High prices, family members being killed in foreign conflicts, political grifting, Epstein files...

11

I heard that there's a picture of Orange man's willie in the Epstein files, but it wasn't released because it was labelled as CP. Because it was so tiny.

They didn't change it. Only usa recognizes it as such. That's like me saying your name is now Tony. Doesn't make it true. Unless your name actually is Tony, I suppose...

What I expect to be an ironic auto correct error has really highlighted Trump's opinion on renaming things.

3

Yes autocorrect and half asleep 😅. Thanks for pointing it out.

3

That's so backwards. Your name is whatever you say your name is. What is written in a government database isn't your name, it's an opaque identifier.

2

That's strange. Everyone's always called me Tony. I don't know when it started... from a very young age at least; my parents always called me Tony. So I just started calling myself that too. It's on all my gov. documents: "Tony". Deep down I've always know it was a lie though. My real name's Sony. Why won't people call me my true name? My name's not actually Tony, even though that's what everyone calls me, it's actually Sony, but no one will use that name. They still continue to call me Tony. It's almost like... you never get to choose your name. It's just given to you and you're stuck with it, regardless of how you might feel about it.

He can't T-pose because he would lose balance, so he tries to assert dominance by other means.

Actual virtue signaling. Unlike you know... whenever the right tries to call something out as virtue signaling.

💔 For renaming something? This is the worst "pride and accomplishment" I've heard of. This doesn't make me happy at all. My school is not getting enough funding because it's not white enough and the money is going to war criminals and pedos trying to cover their crimes.

It's a reference to an infamous moment of internet history where someone similarly misapplied this concept. Give it a google, at least the 1 second mild chuckle can be your consolation prize while the world burns.

They get 10 years of : “ Get off your high horse and shut the fuck up, american. You’re no better than any of us. “

In fact … it’s soooo bad … that everyone(almost..) is cringing when the orange creature opens his mouth :)))

Now, to answer your question:

average american don’t get anything out of this. This is the result of the behaviour of a petty little man-child that can’t handle being rejected and in turn all it can do is to try to “harm” back the person(country), in anyway he can, because it caused negative emotions to his ego

For instance, when they come over as tourists to Europe, they will find out that fewer people will be willing to answer them in English.

Although I’m still pissed off with the British for voting in favor of Brexit, I have in the meantime forgiven them to a certain extent. So if somebody with a British accent addresses me in the street, I am somewhat willing to give them an answer in English. Scots I will always help, naturally, them dressed in wee skirts and with their quaint musical instruments. As to how the British should react to visiting Yanks; just answer in your local dialect, nobody can understand that. Be warned, though, some yanks put Canadian flags on their backpacks and clothing. In case of uncertainty, ask them from which Canadian province they come (yankees will not know what a “province” is), or speak French with them.

If he can throw symbolic red meat to his base without actually hurting anyone, he should do more of that. Rename the whole damn country dumbfuckistan. I don't care.

Did you know it costs millions of dollars for our educational system to change maps to make sure every reprint of the billions of maps it provides to our kids conforms to the federal guidelines?

Same for our every government organization. This bullshit is intended to divide the country over inconsequential bullshit and bankrupt the government itself.

The billionaires intentionally push for bullshit so they can say the system is broken. This is just another exhibit of that fact

lemmy.ml

There's a finite amount of money. For every dollar spent printing new maps is a dollar not spent on blowing up a school with 150 little girls in it. The cost of printing new maps is insignificant in the context of the federal budget. I wish it cost more.

1

Wrong. Very wrong. These costs will be taken from the budgets of the individual organizations who are paying for maps

The majority of these agencies are already underfunded.

Schools for example will not receive funds to update their course materials. They will have to take that money from somewhere else in their budget.

The private corporations that make these course materials will be delighted at a new federal standard that schools are low-key forced to comply with or risk losing federal funding

You are right that the military budget will not feel the change

Bunch of bots on twitter circle jerking themselves into a frothing fury guffawing how great Trump is.

Um... So by further embarassing ourselves on the international stage, showing ourselves to be erratic and irrational, we discourage international brain drain and future "free trade" agreements, reducing our outsized influence on the world, and thereby encouraging multipolarity, which in the the long term will probably benefit all of humanity, of which we are a part.
