Changing names on maps is dumb -- although
If we do change the name at all then we
Should change it from the Gulf of Mexico
To Gulf of Fragile Masculinity.
They are always crowing about something. This now. Trump demands an apology from Bishop who asked him to ‘have mercy’ on LGBTQ+ people & migrants, a good thing to do.Press sec.says the Bishop weaponized the pulpit. Weaponized is new buzz word. PROJECTION! Accusing others of what you are doing!
The only people that have weaponized the pulpit are the Christian Nationalists and the mega church preachers. I shouldn’t say weaponized- maybe used the pulpit nefariously is better. 💙
We didn't say weaponized. Those were the words of Trump's press secretary today. But I couldn't agree with you more about Christian Nationalists. I am a Christian and we are a country of many religions. Everyone should be treated fairly and respected. I can't stand what MAGA has done to the Church.
I can’t stand what maga has done either. I’m a Christian as well and it makes me sick what those hypocrites have done. It’s driving people away from Church and Christianity in general. It’s just too awful for words really.
I agree but I do think in the grand scheme of things, this one is meant as a distraction. Let’s fight the fights worth winning and not spend energy on stuff like this.
Florida is sinking.
Lousiana is losing 35 square miles for the past 80 years into the Gulf of Mexico.
With all the technology available from Europe. America did nothing.
🇮🇪🇪🇺
I’m waiting to see how entities and organizations that are not part of the US federal government react to this absurd name change. Will private companies that make maps and globes go along? Will Wikipedia and reference book publishers? Educators? The individual states? Other countries? Mexico?
I foresee a strange time for cartologists and geographers in the US
Will a US version of the world map be taught in American schools?
Will millions of paper maps naming the Gulf of Mexico need to be burned 🔥
Will the new government sanctioned maps be free?
How much for a DJT autographed gold map?
Please don’t assume Americans agree with shit that comes out of the mouth of the 🍊🤡. Most of us cannot stand to look at or listen to the blowhard. Many of were hoping he’d have a stroke before now.
Only the MAGATS will call it that. Apparently our military has bent the knee too so they can fk right off. It is the Gulf of Mexico and will always be that until a fkn rock flings into it from space and takes it and all of mankind with it.
Don't get angry. This is idiotic nonsense. Just like we need to call out the bad things, we need to double down and laugh at him even harder at things like this. The orange dicktater wannabe can't stand to be mocked for what he is: a complete and utter imbecile.
There’s an international body naming bodies of water. trump can call it whatever he wants, his sycophants can suck up to him calling it the Gulf of America, but the entire planet will still call it by the name it has been called since 1569, the Gulf of Mexico. Don’t be distracted by the nonsense.
These dumbass Republican politicians pretend they do not know history (some actual don't). And other dumass politicians try to rewrite history. All sane Americans will continue to refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of Mexico.
Never! Simply by signing some bogus EO trump can't change the name of an international body of water! America can only claim 3 miles off its coast. The rest is international water!
We live in “Coast Guard City, USA.” We already avoid the 10 day mob-scene Summer festival on Lake MI. This only serves to make me less eager to participate.
WTF Coast Guard? You wimps. Apple Maps and Google Maps still identifies it as Gulf of Mexico and better keep it that way. The first felon cannot unilaterally change the name of international waters.
Their Commander in Chief issued an order that they had to call it that so unfortunately the writer was merely following a direct order. Its petty. Lets not get distracted.
He can, and apparently has changed the name that we are supposed to use here in the USA. What a 💩 he is. It would be funny except it's a symptom of how he thinks and the many things he will do, or try to do.
We're upset over the name, instead of the fact he's beefing up military presence in all these places. Why? The reasons only make sense in a couple of those places. I dint think we get a lot of "illegal" immigrants or drugs in American Samoa. But yes the name is as stupid as he is.
i can assure you that of today i have advised staff is if the gulf of mexico is referred to as the gulf of america in a document for a client we will not sell to them.
Yep. The Gulf of Mexico will not change. Nor will the gulf between his low IQ ears. One good thing is that the USA's #1 rapist and felon will soon die of old age. The sooner the better for the planet. Same goes for Murdoch. There will be much happiness. Fingers crossed for the mid terms. 🇺🇸 ⚖️
True. I’m not personally wishing death on either. They are both old men at or past average mortality age for US men. Hence they will die soon. Few would even remember their arrival now. As for joy when they depart? Only time knows that answer. I for one will not miss them & IMHO many will be happy.
A bunch of buzzwords, double-speak, and because she supported DEI, which is the current wedge issue du-joir that Trump is going to hang his hat on. I see nothing in that article that justifies her firing, other than Trump pandering to his base.
Exactly - fired for no reason that can be stated publicly so he hangs it on DEI which is BS. My belief, is she said NO to the renaming of the Gulf and got fired.
I don't think he'd risk a wrongful dismissal charge by stating she was fired for not complying with his ridiculous name change for the gulf. Simpler to just say she isn't the person he wants anymore for no particular reason. Avoids any nasty challenge to his idiocy.
I’ve been thinking about the legal aspects of his admin coming in with a wrecking ball. They aren’t concerned about lawsuits. The taxpayers foot the bill for all such suits. The cases will be years in court. He’ll be long gone and we’ll be paying out.
Illegal orders should not be. In this case their leader is an idiot that wants them to call something something. I don’t want anyone refusing that order I want them to stop voting for idiots and tell their families
It will be the same as when they change the names of bridges. You've called the bridge by a name all your life. They change the name but you still refer to it by the old name. It's the same with the Gulf of Mexico and the next president, a Democrat, will revoke Trump's order anyway.
As a Canadian, it IS the Gulf of Mexico. But I can see that his enormously delusional ego and tiny brain believes otherwise. He reminds me of George Costanza when he wanted everyone to start calling him t-bone 🙄
Does this mean that Coast Guard bases in places like Cape Cod (which I'm familiar with) where they do a lot of rescues will be closed or have their resources diverted? https://www.massnationalguard.org/JBCC/index.html
Probably the most idiotic thing he’s done which is saying a lot. Ok, debatable, but still. Gulf of America? Who fucking cares? The cost of my eggs are fucking insane!
100% Idiocracy. When I saw that film years ago it sent me into a dark spiral - because it was coming at us faster than most realized. This is insanity.
Our military seems corrupt. Look how many were insurrectionists. The enemy within ain't no joke. And then they leave the military to an almost gauranteed job in LE.
I will be posting companies that need to hear from us about their donations to political parties. If you don’t have the Goods Unite Us app. Please download it and get involved. In many cases, you can email directly from the app.
This does make me angry but given the fact that they removed the officer overseeing The Coast guard I can't say that I'm surprised. We are truly living in fascism now
This is the US Coast Guard announcing that when called upon to attack American citizens for peacefully protesting, they are standing at their FOTUS' ready. Got it.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. Anything 12 miles out is international waters. It cannot be renamed at whim and more than likely the commandant of the USCG said this which is why he fired her. It will never be anything but the Gulf of Mexico because I’m smart.
I’m still calling it the Gulf of Mexico. 🇲🇽 He’s out in 4 years, the next President is gong to reverse every policy he makes. That’s what every administration does.
I hope you're right. I reckon he'll (or a MAGA surrogate) try to hang on until Barron can run. Unless he changes the presidential minimum age with an executive order thingy...
I doubt our country can just randomly start renaming the bodies of water by us. Maybe the 🍊💩 can threaten like the Coast Guard but the rest of the world will still call it GOM. Wonder if he’ll try renaming the oceans?
Okay. Here's a thought. You people too much of a fucking wussy to not say that? Say "THE GULF". Just "THE GULF." It gets the message across & everyone will know what you're talking about about. What other gulf comes to mind, Alaska? Tonkin?
Semantics, I guess, but Mexico is in America. Specifically, Mexico is in North America. North & South America make "America." Or as some people say, the Americas.
Trump's declaration is similar to magic marker weather editing. Shame on the Coast Guard.
After the Commander of the Coast Guard was fired on Monday, drawn, quartered and her head put on a stake at the gates of the CG HQ on Ash Street, I think we should come to expect this type of compliance. And now, without a cabinet secretary to buffer Trump, the Coasties are running scared.
So Trump yesterday fired the first female head of a military branch and now the new “acting” guy is setting up a maritime blockade of the U.S. and its territories.
The Coast Guard should be utterly embarrassed that they capitulated in such absurdity. This is sheer idiocy in the eyes of sane Americans and the rest of the world.
They removed the serving commandant, Linda Fagan (a woman), this week and have this guy as acting commandant. He's either in with the regime or afraid of it.
Watch how quickly military leaders obey Trump's "silly" orders, then know there's a sales technique that engages the target in small-talk, with the aim of getting them to say "yes" repeatedly to trivial questions.
It then becomes psychologically difficult for them to say "no" to the actual sale.
And this on the heels of firing Coast Guard Commandant Linda Fagan, the first woman ever to hold that position. Women are now DEI hires, ladies and gents.
Fuck that. Was that one of Lord Dampnut's "Executive Orders," or are they just humoring him so they don't get shamed later tonight on his "Truth" platform?
hahahaha...is nauseating but so funny at the same time...it's like living in a Mel Brookes movie...when will they be singing..."Springtime for Hitler"...I don't want to miss it
International maps won’t change, and the physical realities won’t change. It makes little difference. We are all aware of the real name, as is the rest of the world. It comes from deep narcissism and a furious sense of insecurity, knowing ultimately how little he matters.
Do you think the entire world would capitulate on changing the GPS navigation system on behalf of one stupid Toddler in Chief?
There's by land navigation, marine navigation, aeronautic navigation, and space navigation. That's a lot of map revisions, topographic, geologic maps, nautical etc.

To them Trump is the source of truth and science.
Two days down, 3 years 363 days to go...

He’s a narcissistic idiot.
He’s a lame duck president. The next administration in 4 years is going to reverse everything he does.
You watch.
Will a US version of the world map be taught in American schools?
Will millions of paper maps naming the Gulf of Mexico need to be burned 🔥
Will the new government sanctioned maps be free?

Gulf of America, I don’t know her. 💅
This is just Trump jingoism.
We’re sorry. We’re very, very sorry.

OUR ANGER & DISGUST WITH THIS CAPITULATION TO A CRIMINAL- TRUMP IS A FELON-
IS 100% UNACCEPTABLE
I love the Coast Guard.
I'm the voice on the Captains' Licence.
This is a national tragedy.
It was a process with nearly no resistance. Most organisations and asocciations just slipped in automaticaly.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gleichschaltung
The important thing is that everyone other than US federal agencies and assholes, will continue calling at the Gulf of mexico.
It’s the Gulf of Mexico you fucking morons
Do not comply.
He doesn’t own it, and water bodies often have specific naming rules
Too much junk food.
A bit more insight into why.
Just as oily and polluted
PASS it On
This is a headline from The Onion.
We have arrived in the time where The Onion headlines are actually true.
OMFG, it IS "Idiocracy"
if a woman is in charge, it's automatically DEI
the only ones 'worthy' of being execs?
men .. namely .. WHITE men ..
to be even more accurate .. WHITE 'christian' men .
no? Someone tell us where Tim Scott & Byron Idi Amin Donalds are in the trump cabinet- or even Swammy
this! THIS!!!

unaware the world is joining together to turn our backs on the US......but not the Americans
That's some really stupid shit right there is what it is.
Trump's declaration is similar to magic marker weather editing. Shame on the Coast Guard.
when ICE/Border Patrol asks a Hispanic "nationality"...
they can HONESTLY STATE .. "I am an American!"
It then becomes psychologically difficult for them to say "no" to the actual sale.
Whoever blindly follows orders is a part of the problem
I never served so I can’t pretend to understand.
I hope there are enough intelligent people in the military to make decisions in the best interest of the world.
And now we call the magpie a white-tailed eagle.
#GulfOfMexico ✊
