  I show this to my students as an example why GAFAM can’t be trusted, ever. They will bend to any of the pedo-dictator wish in seconds.

  They still haven’t actually updated it on all the government sites though.

  It’s fucking embarrassing, honestly. I hope whomever is president next reverses all of the BS executive orders. Like, day 1. You could argue that there’s far more important things to be doing than changing the Gulf of Mexico back to being the Gulf of Mexico, and you’d be right, but doing it on day 1 (along with everything else - just write one executive order that undoes every EO from the prior admin) sends the (important) message that there was nothing of value done by the prior admin, and the legitimacy of the administration is not even being entertained for a moment.

    day 1 should be a revocation of all his executive orders.

    day 2 should be applying some new ones. like Epstein Island being called pedoisland. and Maralago being renamed the Donald J Trump Library of pedophilia.

    day 3 should be a round up of all the assholes that have allowed this shitshow to continue, and summarily tried, charged, and publicly executed.

      Eh, pedoisland is too conservative.

      Make it be called Pedo Land.

    No, rename it to the gulf of Barack Hussein Obama, just to troll him. Same with the Kennedy center. And the East Wing crater or whatever they’re pretending that’ll be.

    Gulf of Egg Prices is pretty good.

    Maybe Gulf of Epstein?

    This feels like it might devolve into a discussion about where the legitimate authority to name things derives from. brb popcorn.

      Not really. It’s just that only a lunatic fringe in the US calls it the Gulf of America. They can also call the country the Uber Stupendous Amazingistan, if nobody else ro-ro with that, it’s as good as nonexistent.

      Point being, while there is no legitimate authority, usage is what makes it official.

      Given how many places here in Europe have had several names throughout history depending on who occupied the territory at the time, the standard seems to be “me and this army”.
