Renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America changes the acronym to remember the names of the Great Lakes from HOMES to SHAME. That fits!

Carol Carrell's avatar

Canada should rename its half Lake Epstein

WJB Motown's avatar

LAKE NEVER 51......OR LAKE ELBOWS UP............whats up with the Epstein bull shit???

Connie Larsen's avatar

Yes perfect name. And call senators to start so they don’t look so fing stupid, 🍊🫏💋ing fools ! So they can VOTE the fing save act down. I thought some congressional members would maybe come to their senses!

Lake EPSTEIN!!!🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️👍

Renee Goodman's avatar

Carol, would be perfect as well to call it Lake Trumpstein

Merry's avatar

(Does anyone think Trump will threaten to drain Lake Ontario? Or build a big wall around it and then cover the entire wall with gilded glazing? After all, we all know that he’s a raging lunatic crybaby when he doesn’t get his way…)

Karen Rivera's avatar

As amusing as that thought is, don't give him the idea, We The People will end up paying "someone" for the work and the project with be one do-over after another.

Merry's avatar

Seriously! At this point, he’s desperate and psychotic enough to try anything! He’s like the embodiment of a chainsaw massacre - a weapon of mass destruction!

BTW - I read this HORRIFYING article on Raw Story this morning- excerpts:

“Trump lawyers quietly conceded admin has 'irrevocably damaged' Kennedy Center”

“Lawyers for President Donald Trump didn't dispute that adding his name to the Kennedy Center may have "irrevocably damaged" its historic marble facade.”

“The tacit concession surfaced in a Wednesday court filing from Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-OH), an ex officio member of the Kennedy Center's board of trustees. Beatty has been fighting the administration's renewed push to emblazon Trump's name on the building.”

“Beatty's attorneys argued in the filing that the administration's silence was itself an admission.”

Gee, you think that's why they have left that stupid barricade up? So instead of doing the right thing and restoring it to original condition they decided the next best thing is to just demolish the entire building. Just another colossal example of him and his minions not planning ahead, not consulting an expert who could tell them how to do it correctly. No wonder his casinos all went bankrupt. Being mentally toddler age all he knows is that he wants something, and somebody better hand it over. Thanks for posting this article!

Merry's avatar

Yes, I do believe that’s they why left the front covered with scaffolding and tarp, to hide the damage. And, “the Trump administration has not made any announcements or admissions that the Kennedy Center building was structurally damaged during the removal of Donald Trump’s name from its facade.”

AND - “Even Trump Lawyers Can’t Deny He “Irrevocably Damaged” Kennedy Center”

“Donald Trump’s own lawyers did not refute the allegation.”

“Donald Trump’s so-called renovations to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts have done more harm than good—even his lawyers think so.”

“In a court filing Wednesday, Ohio Representative Joyce Beatty, the Democratic lawmaker mounting the legal challenge to Trump’s changes to the prestigious theater, said that the president’s lawyers had declined to defend him from accusations that he’d already marred the building.”

And get THIS! 👇🏻

“Trump’s lawyers suggested in a court filing Monday that if the administration was not allowed to proceed with the $250 million renovation project—including tacking the president’s name to the facade—the building would have to be DEMOLISHED. (caps added). Beatty’s lawyers called out the thinly veiled threat.

“In plain English, Defendants have not-so-subtly said: ‘What a nice Kennedy Center you have here. What a shame should something happen to it,’” Beatty’s lawyers wrote. “This is a breathtaking assault on the rule of law. It is delusional. And it must stop.”

“Trump’s lawyers suggested in a court filing Monday that if the administration was not allowed to proceed with the $250 million renovation project—including tacking the president’s name to the facade—the building would have to be demolished. Beatty’s lawyers called out the thinly veiled threat.”

Karen Rivera's avatar

I like reading the New Republic. That's a Mobster's way, "meet our demands or "What a shame should something happen to it,’. I am surprised Ohio Representative Joyce Beatty brought forward the challenge. She has to know she's in line for some sort of retribution. Definitely an act of defiance & courage! Donny Dumb Dumb absolutely hates when anyone, but especially women, stand up to him.

Francine Koski's avatar

That ash hole 🕳️ donny had better leave the Kennedy Center ALONE😡‼️ He doesn’t deserve to have his rotten name on anything because he’s just disgraceful and disgusting 🤢. I thought 💭 that this was handled. He’s like a tick that needs to be pulled off by hand!

Isn't that the truth! Some Maghats need to send him some Tinker Toys so he can build and destroy to his non-existent heart's content. Speaking of beavers, watch the video it is amazing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SUAdxU9CDE

Good one! So true!

ramonaj's avatar

This is how Dumold responds to everything!!! No surprise with his lunatic raves.

We should be ready to respond in Nov. When he barks whatever he thinks is going to work to stop democracy. That is the end of the road. Get ready for anything and we do not have a king. Enough .

Merry's avatar

Well, unfortunately, some would beg to differ! …

“Trump's 'sense of royal injury' exposes a pressing 'fatal flaw'”: columnist

“ President Donald Trump's approach to governing borrows heavily from the absolutist monarchies of medieval and early modern Europe, according to a new column, but his own personality defects have exposed the flaws in that system.

…

“To commit lèse-majesté was, and in some places still is, to commit an offense against dignity of the crown," Bouie wrote. "To insult or denigrate or even question the monarch was to undermine the state itself. In the absolutist states of medieval and early modern Europe, lèse-majesté was a high crime, punishable by death."

(Lèse-majesté means an insult, crime, or offense against the dignity of a ruling head of state, a monarch, or a sovereign power.)

"Trump was democratically elected," the columnist concluded. "But both his unilateral exercise of authority and his monarchical aspirations are reminders, at the very least, that putting this much power in the hands of one man — in the hands of one ego — is a reliable way to produce disaster."

“The fatal flaw of monarchy is that the strength of the state depends on the personality and capacities of the monarch," Bouie wrote. "It subjects an entire people to the pathologies of that one man or woman: to his dysfunctions, his maladaptations and his twisted sense of self."

"Trump was democratically elected," the columnist concluded. "But both his unilateral exercise of authority and his monarchical aspirations are reminders, at the very least, that putting this much power in the hands of one man — in the hands of one ego — is a reliable way to produce disaster."

He is not a king. This should not apply to him and he must be stopped.

Jean Conley's avatar

You're right. He's a Dic(k)tator.

Jean Conley's avatar

Thanks for another nickname to add to the ones I have for The Dipsh*t who occupies the Oval Office! (You probably used it before, Ramona, and I just forgot! I'll have to check that list!)

ramonaj's avatar

Im happy to share. Jean!

Martha MacRae's avatar

I think he should take a swim in his newly named lake and swim really far out and for a really long swim. Just to test out the name you know.

Renee Goodman's avatar

Martha, do we actually know he knows how to swim? With his fat body he would probably drown! A wish to come true!!!

Martha MacRae's avatar

Yes. I had taken that into consideration.

Jean Conley's avatar

Would't put it past him...........

Francine Koski's avatar

YES 👏🏻 HE’S SO PETTY AND REVENGEFUL! What an asinine crybaby. Canada 🇨🇦 won’t abide by what HE wants, so he always does something foolish and stupid. He’s an absolute embarrassment to our country! At this point I despise the congressional democrats for not removing him immediately! He’s a disgrace and dangerous traitor to our nation! They aren’t doing enough for us!😡‼️

Merry's avatar

Unfortunately the democrats can’t remove him office because the republicans are currently in charge of both houses of congress. So without republican support, democrats cannot remove him alone.

Thats why the midterm elections are so important. Democrats need to win to remove him. And it’s also why Trump is desperately and illegally trying to seize control of the midterm elections.

nlhulbert1@gmail.com's avatar

If Trump is removed you’ll only get Vance, a younger and worse version for the next two years then he can run again along with any other clone of Trump’s regime perpetrating everything happening now. I want to know how much worse it has to get for the US and the world before the US realizes it can NEVER go down this path again.

nlhulbert1@gmail.com's avatar

Unfortunately the US has a big money , racist and misogyny problem. Even is Trump leaves I’ve heard no Democrat state tariffs will be removed. Maybe reduced if you’re lucky. The rest is going to need a few generations to fix and only if there’s enough resolve. Start with your education system.

WJB Motown's avatar

The Orange Psyco Child Rapist pushes us to boycott....counter tariff and boycott some more....Elbows Up...Never 51......this Depends encased dipshit has declared war on the entire universe!!!!

How appropriate - everything about Donny Dumb Dumb is shameful.

Suede67's avatar

That is way too fitting. Spot on. Good catch!

Karen Huff's avatar

I was thinking the same regarding the HOMES acronym, but did not unscramble the letters. Your observation is spot on.

Karen Echols's avatar

If rump is so obsessed with changing the name of the lake, I wish he would just go jump in it!

Great Post, thanks for sharing

Francine Koski's avatar

Trump is such an ash hole 🕳️. Who cares about him writing ✍🏿 orders?? Like him, let’s just ignore it and keep calling it: LAKE ONTARIO 😑‼️

PurpleVioletLilacLavender's avatar

I always tell my peeps, the more chaos and distractions that come your way, the more focused you need to be. Vote out every single person who made anyone with one dollar less in their pockets.

Mark Carpenter's avatar

I have NO intention of referring to Lake Ontario as "Lake America", EVER.

Karen's avatar

Yes! And it's still the Gulf of Mexico!

John McNaught's avatar

I still refer to and say the gulf of Mexico..Take that Donald.

ramonaj's avatar

And it is not the dept of WAR.

dojo1028's avatar

Me either like the Gulf of America. This guy is a complete idiot wasting our $ on BS🤬

Linda Harris's avatar

And the Department of Defense not war

Pamela S.'s avatar

You’re right; no need. That would make us as stupid as he is.

I responded before I saw your comments. Make me 3!!!

Jo Burns's avatar

The sailor should not be disciplined. He should be helped. This regime hasn't found anything that they don't want to smash with a hammer. 🫪😢

Lori Painter's avatar

And why is he being disciplined? I don’t get that.

Jo Burns's avatar

Exactly. He put a call out for help in his action and apparently tried to seek therapy prior, so why hit him with a hammer instead of building a repair on the bridge?

Candace Lucas's avatar

They would consider his action desertion. However, what he did was clearly a mental breakdown and a cry for help

Jo Burns's avatar

What we have in charge is a dereliction of duty. They have clearly thrown the US Constitution overboard.

wilma galenko's avatar

Because he made those in charge look like jackasses.

RobWhitH's avatar

Because by his action he publicized the horrible conditions on the ship. So according to Trump rules, he must be punished.

Linda Harris's avatar

Great propaganda for the military. Come join the Navy where your orders will keep changing until we break you and you want to jump overboard, then we will punish you. Uncle Sam wants you.

Robot Bender's avatar

Malcolm Nance explained why that's done. It's the procedure. He's not being picked out.

Cheeto Has A Subversive Election Plan

Thiel and Vance are openly good friends with Curtis Yarvin who is quoted as saying "people need to get over their dictatorphobia". This is the ultimate goal of the Republican fascists.

Unpopular as Cheeto has become, let’s remember he was a convicted felon who lied on the campaign trail to stay out of jail for inciting an insurrection and mishandling classified government documents. The fascist Republican party gave him a felon pass even though in many Republican controlled states Republicans prevent felons from voting(bit.ly/4wMjACa). What’s wrong with this picture?

Now duly elected through 2 rigged elections, Cheeto is clearly showing the electorate that he doesn't care about the voters in the country. Illegal war, out of control tariff policy, brazen corruption, incoherent foreign policy. So how on earth does he expect for fascist Republicans to be elected with all his trade and dictator policies? Cheeto’s seemingly unperturbed with his poor polling and continues with outrageous decision making.

He and his fascist allies seem to have a plan, whatever it is, multipronged as it may be to ensure that the fascist Republicans win in November. With it being so close to the election and yet screwing Americans over and over again with his wierd and extreme agenda, there must be something that they are planning to corrupt the election process.

That means that WE the People need to be prepared....Step 1 VOTE early, encourage friends, family, relatives, neighbors to VOTE EARLY...Step 2 be prepared for fascist Speaker of the House to refuse to seat members elect from being seated like he did with Grijalva last year....Step 3 Join an Indivisible group near you.

I think people need to get over their qualms about shooting Nazis in the face.

wilma galenko's avatar

Track your vote also! Make sure it has been received and accepted!

John McNaught's avatar

The Iran war was a distraction to block the Epstien files. So now we are supposed to forget about both things and instead concentrate on changing the name of Lake Ontario and how bad Canada is for retaliating against the tariff war Trump created. Meanwhile the Congressional Republican members are getting rich in office while we are hurting badly. They won't even come home to talk with us in town halls. They won't even have Mitch McConnell speak to the voters. Is he so brain dead that he can't speak to the voters ?

arne link's avatar

Personally? I believe that he is actually dead and just rotting away somewhere. Why would his wifey go to China three days after his "emergency"? Why were the ambulance attendants so slow and casual in removing him? I believe he is dead.

Carole137's avatar

And they keep insisting the emergency call was for a "fall" when it clearly was for a cardiac arrest. They're lying their asses off about this whole situation.

Linda (Evanston IL)'s avatar

The EMT call said Mitch had cardiac arrest and CPR was performed. He was dead. He’s in cold storage somewhere. Unethical, immoral, and criminal

Maria Jette's avatar

That’s what I think too. And yet…I can’t believe someone wouldn’t have leaked SOMETHING in all this time. Several EMTs, hospital personnel at intake, whether he was dead or almost dead, all the other personnel at that hospital once they knew he was supposedly there, and even more when the brouhaha exploded…plus even if none of his faithful and seemingly mute staff leaked to the press, surely at least ONE would’ve said something to a friend or spouse or hairdresser etc!

I actually wonder even more about the eerie lack o’ leaks than I do about dear old Mitch. Dead or alive, he’s never coming back to the Senate floor.

Robot Bender's avatar

Or he's in a vegetative state.

LHS's avatar

Or had an anoxic brain injury (very, very bad) because CPR wasn't started immediately. That would explain why he might look fairly OK in those photos, but he has not spoken. I've had patients who had anoxic brain injuries who looked physically OK, but their brains no longer functioned well at all.

Chuck's avatar

...and, eventually, the Republican cult will announce that "after a short illness following his release from the hospital, traitor Mitch has died" and pretend that he hasn't been dead for weeks. (or even months, by then: they don't want to have a special election NOW for the seat left by the Republican who has done more to damage America than any Congressman in decades with his killing of healthcare [how ironic], failure to hold his fellow (R) cultist accountable for his failed coup, then endorsing and voting for him despite the 14th Amendment, and the two corrupt SCOTUS liars he helped shove into a position where his misogyny could prevent women from bodily autonomy and his hatred of our Constitution could allow his cult's Project 2025 to sabotage our democracy...who else would work that hard for the cult and against America and could be elected in this pro-democracy moment?)

If PedoPINO isn't dead by then, it will be interesting to see if he chooses to laud his fellow Republican cult traitor to our Constitution and democracy who helped his fascist agenda advance against America, or if he remembers that McConnell said Donald Justapedo Trump was responsible for the failed J6 coup (even though he later kissed the ring --and the pedo's pooper-- and endorsed the traitor as PINO despite the 14th A) and 💩 all over his memory like he does for anyone who he feels doesn't worship him enough or properly? Either way, I'm sure they will have a happy reunion in Hell soon...just not soon ENOUGH.

I agree arne. The turtle died. 🐢 the rest is unbelievable!!

We can not take anything said by trumpthuglicans as true . All lies ,performance, finger pointing , and projection.

Such a waste and embarrassment! Our country is going down the proverbial tube while “Nero Trump” plays his Executive Orders fiasco and other stupid BS that is not helping Americans! He must never be forgiving for doing this to our country nor allowed to blame anyone else for his failures as a so called leader genius! Oh! and “only I can fix it”, statement!

I'm thinking we should rename all 5 lakes Lake Trump. Can you think of a president more deserving of it?

And send him a pure gold hockey stick. Create a 250$ bill with his face on it. Carve his face on some snow hill. Give him an economic peace prize. Create an ICE prison up north maybe ?

Tested and tried stuff. Would surely work and then Trump could brag about ending another war. 🙄
