    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.

      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.

    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.

    The American people don’t gain anything.

    The American regime is “flooding the zone”.

    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.

    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…

      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.
