    The next Democrat should run with the goal to rename it to Gulf of Donald’s Defeat. I would vote for them.

    Reported in Apple Maps as incorrect name. Won’t change anything, but it needed to be done.

      Please everyone do your part to report the incorrect information on google maps.

      1. On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google Maps app.
      2. Navigate to the gulf of Mexico
      3. Tap Menu (your profile pictude) Send feedback (way at the bottom). Wrong information.

    OsmAnd still holding out! I will never not call it the Gulf of Mexico.

    I think the world should stop calling USians americans. America is a huge place spanning 2 continents encompassing so many different cultures uniquely American. I always thought it was weird calling Mexicans in the US, Mexican American. It’s like saying American American. Wouldn’t Mexicans in Mexico also be Mexican Americans? Just never felt right to me.

      That’s just a quirk of the English language. In Brazil we also call them “North Americans” instead of Americans, because Americans refer to all countries and peoples in the Americas.

    Not sure why anyone is surprised…they’re all bootlicking corporations that don’t want the mob boss to fuck with their mergers and/or investigate them for their various crimes.

      Look at every corporation bend the knee and enthusiastically embrace the fascist fusion of corporation and state.

      I’ve been saying it for a decade but it keeps getting more obvious. The oligarchs and their corporations have been financing the fascists, and working towards the takeover, the entire goddamn time. I’m not talking about Elon and the tech bros. I’m talking about the global 0.0001%, the tens of thousands of oligarchs who own the lions share of every market. They’ve spent decades watching the CCP and Russian oligarchy with envy, yearning for the one party state capitalism and authoritarian control of the masses — just replacing communism™️ with freedom™️, religion™️ and nationalism™️ — free from the risk that democracy represents to their wealth and power.
