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

    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?

    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.

    I tell my right-wing American friends it is political correctness. Changing names is expensive. I remember having the USSR on maps in school because changing them out is expensive.

    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.

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