It could be another one of those first day things along with deporting all brown people, tearing up the Iran treaty, repealing health care, re-renaming a mountain in Alaska for someone who had nothing to do with Alaska.

Denali rhymes with Benghazi.
3 syllables each. (Trinity)
Add the number of letters of each (14) and divide by 2 = 7 (Seven deadly sins)
Same vowels A-E-IâŚ(Trinity reconfirmed)

That doesnât work either because that too would represent taking away another symbol of white dominance and subjugation of the natives.

As I posted to the Boehner thread:
The people who know the mountain best? The people who climb it. Particularly, elite alpinists. No oneâs whoâs remotely serious has called it McKinley for at least twenty years. To do so is seen as deeply disrespectful. High Alaska, the definitive book on climbing in the range, published by the legendary National Parks Service climbing ranger, Jonathan Waterman, in 1988, refers to the mountain as Denali.
As Waterman points out, William Dickey named the mountain after McKinley BEFORE he was elected president â as an explicitly political endorsement. Dickey had a rather self-interested motive: McKinley supported the gold standard; Dickey was a gold prospector.
And the leading journal on alpine climbing, Alpinist, does the same: Itâs always Denali, never âMcKinley.â For example:

So shove it up your ass, Kasich.

I guess nobody complaining cares about âStates Rightsâ anymore, unless it has to do with the Confederate flag? Alaskans donât give a shit what these Ohio gas bags thing, say or tweet.

How did Obama âoverstep his boundsâ ? Renaming that mountain is within the bounds of a Presidentâs prerogatives. Is this how Gov. Kasich plans to handle facts if elected?

Um, by greenlighting oil drilling in the arctic.
Thatâs what really irks me here: the name change has every appearance of an attempt to greenwash a truly awful and CONSEQUENTIAL decision by Obama.

Obama didnât rename it.
It is reverting to its original name, by which it has been known for hundreds of years.
Obama removed a name that was imposed on the native population and which that population has always protested and never used.

Next up, Obama will rename Fox News to âBullshit Mountainâ. Obama realizes the GOP still needs a mountain to call their own.

âAssassinated 83 years ago this week?â Thatâs funny I though McKinley was assassinated in 1901. Republicans do outrage, but math, not so much.
