Upset at Canada, senile madman Trump wants to rename Lake Ontario as Lake America
@lauren What a petulant man baby he is. Speaking as a Canadian living in a town on Lake Ontario - he can call it anything he wants..we will survive him. The question is will the USA survive?
@lauren Do we already know what he plans to call the Strait of Hormus? Route 69? Trump Strait? Stream of Gold?
@lauren he’s very imaginative with his new names. Gulf of America, Lake America.
@lauren This could be a real headline and I wouldn't even flinch.
@lauren Honestly I am surprised he didn't want to name it after himself...
@lauren I'm waiting for him to start insisting that we stop speaking english and start speaking american.
@XenoPhage @lauren And what about all these schools teaching Arabic numbers to kids?
We aren't even 2 years into this administration and there's been little resistance to it. Now we are at a point where the tech overlords have established a surveillance network to keep such resistance at bay. The implied threat of being watched, receiving a knock at the door or even being abducted has put a chill upon journalists and anyone set out to question or challenge the current establishment.
@MichaelBishop Actually, I think public sentiment has reached a tipping point. The key signal is that pushback against things like Flock and Data Centers has become bipartisan, without rural/urban differentiation. This is crucial.
@lauren @MichaelBishop is someone poised to push this multi billion dollar industry off a cliff toward certain doom? Because I'll help.
@aka_quant_noir @MichaelBishop They may not need your weight to go off the cliff. Every time the Billionaire Big Tech CEOs open their mouths or Trump proclaims how much he loves data centers they're like the Coyote running off the cliff. Right now they're pretty much suspended in the air, like he so often was. But we all know what happens next. The big unknown is the timing.
You might be correct about the Flock and data centers. Surprisingly we have a state representative here in Idaho who's pushing hard against the data centers. Living in Idaho, the reddest state full of white supremacists, likely skews my impression of what's happening.
@MichaelBishop Data centers have become particularly hated in rural areas (though the hate is everywhere now). Given the typical political skew in most rural areas, this is creating a very unusual and I think perhaps unprecedented political situation. I've never seen anything like it before, and it's happening at warp speed.
