Trump to rename Denali as McKinley in Alaska

Threegoofs said:
Seemed like that’s what you were going for.

And frankly, based on your posting history, you haven’t really earned the benefit of the doubt.

Yes, I'm aware of how many of you are more concerned about the poster than the post. Sorry your strawman fell through. Looks like you're lost without it.

You never did clarify the point of your post.

Don’t think it’s unreasonable of me to imagine the worst.
 
And probably within days of Trump leaving office, it will change back to Denali again.

That is the thing about Executive Orders.

They have the life span of a Presidential term essentially.

Imagine whatever you like. Just remember you're imagining.

My first post:

Basically, Denali means "big mountain". Albeit in our bastardized version of the Indian name. Which really isn't a name as much as a description. You could have shown those long ago Indians a picture of Everest, and they would have said "big mountain". Denali.

All that aside, I favor the name Denali for the mountain. Purely esthetically.

My post responding to your request for my point:

Not clear from my first post?

Y'all in a tizzy over something that doesn't matter. Or at least I think it doesn't. But maybe you can explain to me the importance of what that mountain is called.

I guess you don’t want to state the point out loud.

Probably a wise move.

I just repeated both posts to the point. What would you like me to say out loud?

Why don't you just go ahead and say it out loud?

That mountain has been known as Mount McKinley for more than a hundred years until some bleeding heart liberals decided to rename it.

It is only right and proper that it revert back to its original name.

I'm sure you cared so much about this prior to the orange one making his proclamation... 🤣

Denali sounds like a made up name. Wait till Donald gets to Greenland where the names are all native gibberish.

Then we will see greatness and awesomeness on a grand scale

All names are made up

Your imperialistic days have left you in the past. Indigenous names...are the names that are being used.

So what do you call the USA? Because I'm pretty sure the native Americans weren't calling it that.

Of course, you want to make this about me. You always do.

Actually, I can't remember the last time I even thought about that mountain. I've only seen it twice in my life.

But I can tell you I've never thought of it as "Denali".
 
The people of Alaska have tried to get the name changed from McKinley to Denali since the 1970s. Obama obliged them.

But Trump likes McKinley, so here we are.

Rather remarkable.

So I was right.

This shit is ridiculous.

It seems that the felon made a big show of things that don't matter, didn't he?
I heard Mr. L lol every time the fat man signed another one of his self pleasing orders. It is what incoming presidents do, show off.

You say you did, but you didn’t. And continue to say you did, without saying it.

Cute move, I guess.

It sounds like you're claiming you know what my point was. So why do you keep asking?
 
Threegoofs said:
Weird that you can’t tell us.

But you claim you can discern my point from what I posted. So you're either lying, or sealioning.
 
Threegoofs said:
So weird that you can’t- or more like won’t- clarify.

It was a simple request.

What's to clarify when my point was sufficiently clear that you could understand it? You want me to quote my two posts again, or what?

OK. I guess I’ll assume I was correct then, since you can’t bother to clarify what the point was.

Odd. Seems like you’d want to own what you meant, but I guess it might not sound so good when you actually type it out.

So you don't know what my point was, but you're guessing at it?

But then you go on to imply that you do know what it was.

Can't you just read the two posts I referenced for you?

I did. And asked you to clarify your point on the first post. So your follow up post failed to clarify anything and whined about me asking you to clarify it.

This isnt that hard man. But I realize that you probably dont want to actually clarify anything.
