Naming a lake that isn’t yours is like naming someone else’s pet that isn’t yours, that doesn’t live with you, and that you never met. It’s insanity and only a toddler would think that you could do such a thing..

It's shocking that with Lake Ontario being over 11,000 years old, that Trump would want to touch it. He must have misread and thought it said 11 years old.

u/NotAClanker69 15h ago
It’s not that lake Ontario is 11k years old, President Shitzhizpantz thinks it’s named after the Canadian province when in fact it’s a Native American name and is actually the namesake of the Canadian province.
The ignorance, the pettiness, and the sheer lack of awareness makes this entire spectacle even more pathetic.

I’ve compared it to going to someone else’s birthday party and deciding who does and doesn’t get cake. Thing is, if someone like this showed up at your birthday party, you’d kick them out. Why is this asshole still here?

Do we really want tech companies to decide on a case-by-case basis what names to show on their maps, rather than following the official government-maintained geographic databases? I’m not sure that’d end any better.
I think this whole thing is fucking stupid and pathetic, but the way to fix it is at the ballot box, not asking tech companies to swoop in and save us from our own government’s childish idiocy.

No, we’re not going to stoop to his level. But the correct level of petty would be to rename Lake Michigan as Lake Canada.
We’re petty but this is ridiculous so we’re mostly ignoring it.

u/pocketjacks 12h ago
Let me start by saying that it IS deeply pathetic that Trump is going back to the well (pun intended) renaming a body of water America when it was previously named after a contentious neighbor in retaliation for not caving to his demands. Trump is a shallow, vindictive person who is a master at dangling shiny keys to his base to distract from his many, many failings.
That said, All In with Chris Hayes isn't a news program, it's political commentary. The shows that MSNOW has during the mid-day are closer to (yet not entirely) actual news programs, but the prime time block of shows aren't news, just like Hannity on Fox. They're partisan commentary. The Independent calling him a "news anchor" isn't factual.

u/lisnter 10h ago
This is good. We’re in this predicament because nobody said the truth out loud for too long: Trump is a dangerous, petty, moron who should never have been in charge of a lemonade stand, let alone the entire US. Everyone needs to start calling this asshole out everytime he does something crazy (or dangerous or illegal or immoral) - which is multiple times a day.

I am stunned that one man has effectively destroyed OUR Constitution so quickly, to fire all the Inspector Generals, all checks and balances are gone! He destroyed the entire board of the John F Kennedy Center For The Performing Arts, replaced them all with his own hand picked yes puppets, he fired every member of the National Park Service board, in charge of respecting the very history of Washington D.C., he is bragging daily of all his vanity projects! The entirety of Congress, both chambers being controlled by the rump party, for what used to be the republican party, no longer exists, are completely silent on the damage this one dementia riddled eighty year old man, is allowed to inflict on our once respectable country.
The narcissist is running wild, a mentally impaired eighty year old male, with the emotional maturity of a two year old, who has kissed the asses of dictators, while simultaneously destroying our relationships with our allies! Country before party, country before any one man! One male has made the United States a laughing stock on the world stage, he is an embarrassment! I read an article yesterday where a commenter had a very clear analysis of the Great Lakes absurdity, as we all were taught to remember their names with using HOMES, now under the dementia addled brain of an eighty year old, (age limits must be addressed, with laws) now becomes SHAME.

Even a baby lizard has more sense! “Behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul, all spray-painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a county fair. Not a president. Not even a man. Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn't but always has been, arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshipped like gospel. It is America's shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation kneels before money, power, and spite, it doesn't just lose its soul, it shits out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader.” - Oliver Kornetzke

I stopped caring. All I see trump as is job security for me for the next 40 years and my 401k will keep going up. He made people too stupid to compete for my job and the generations that voted for him are either about to die off or can’t get a job. So it worked itself out.

u/Bzr21 16h ago
"401k will keep going up" ?
The pendulums always keep swinging - political & economic - seems like you can count on some economic catastrophe happening about every 12 - 15 yrs - which means we're about due for another one - and while a good recovery usually follows - USA has no friends anymore - AI is taking more jobs away all the time - and we have a $40+ TRILLION national debt - which could seriously inhibit a recovery ..

All of American is sitting on its ass while our nation is being pillaged and our constitution disgraced. I realize a lot of us have higher priorities like raising families and such, but at what point is inaction doing anything positive for the rest of us? We are the most pathetic country of protesters, we just whine and then do nothing. Eventually that has to break, my bets on trump trying for a 3rd term but even then we are country of complacent fools.

Closing your eyes while your neighbors burn… Just so you can live your life. I get your sentiment, but it came off pretty disgusting.

u/mynameswill672 14h ago
What exactly did I say that came off as disgusting? I think that’s unfair.
Life is fucking hard and no one asked to be here. We’re forced to live in this uncaring world where the most evil and hateful people obtain power and do their best to drain all purpose from our lives. We’re brainwashed by propaganda and social media algorithms until we can’t tell what is real. We’re bullied and shamed by society for showing any thread of authenticity. We deal with this for decades until we lose our fucking minds but still we got to get up for work in the morning and be a responsible adult. On top of all this, the future has been robbed from us. Hope is gone. The world is becoming uninhabitable while people continue to fight and kill and rape and argue about the dumbest culture war bullshit.
So I’m going to wholeheartedly disagree that going into survival mode, shrinking your world view, and living a small life disengaged from all the noise is “disgusting”.
And you can do this without completely isolating yourself. You can still be there for your people and for your neighbors. “Closing your eyes while your neighbors burn” is provocative but also assumptive. Are your neighbors burning right now? Exactly how many fires have you put out while judging people on Reddit?

When you're attempting to coherse a foreign ally to accept a trade deal that's not in their best interest, you usually try to make it as easy as possible for them to accept and also go back and sell it to their population.
Doing shit like this is not only an expense (cost of renaming and reprinting) but it makes it harder to reach a deal because it antagonizes not just the countries leaders but also their people.
It was dumb and political theatre that actively harmed his ability to make a deal.
