Gulf of Egg Prices is pretty good.
Maybe Gulf of Epstein?

It hasn’t.

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”.

Guys I named this the Gulf of Your Mom like six years ago. That’s its name. Get with it.

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

I would definitely prefer The Gulf Of Fucking Conan, or The Gulf Of Fucking High On Fire, but if someone sails me out to The Gulf Of Fucking SLAYER I’m still going to enjoy it.

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.

Some people will argue that reversing everything would set a precedent for future governments.
Fuck those people.
It has already been proven that the republicans have no intention of honoring previous decisions. There is no high road any longer. Everything must go.

Yeah… “We can’t undo all of the unprecedented shit the previous admin did because it would set a precedent for future admins” is just about the stupidest argument I can think of. Tear it all down and start from scratch, clearly what we have isn’t working.

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.
