This dispute isn’t trivial, it’s the first phase of ‘Gleichschaltung’

I just hope that the month he renames to Trumpuary isn’t my birthday month

Which America? South America? Central America? North America?
He couldn't even give it a proper replacement name. 🤦‍♂️

And it shows how pathetic google and Apple Maps are for changing it on a Trump whim.

jasonemry.bsky.social•8 days ago

is there a dispute when the racist in the cafeteria calls them freedom fries or do we just ignore him and keep giving ourselves diabetes in peace?

ehaynes24.bsky.social•8 days ago

The AP won’t miss anything but lies spewed from that podium anyway.

waycooljr-62.bsky.social•8 days ago

It's like making "freedom fries" a federal law.

skovby.bsky.social•7 days ago

And what do we call them now…. Yep, French fries coz that’s what they are. The Gulf of Mexico is what the world knows it is regardless of what this fool for a president thinks he renamed the gulf.

The fact that he feels he needs that board up for every presser just illustrates how petty and needy he is.

If the AP was owned by Bezos, Zuck, Apple, etc, it would have been changed to "Gulf of America." Sad.

This is a distraction, there are zero consequences. Stop paying attention to this and focus on Musk stealing from our country

jucamol.bsky.social•8 days ago

This "change name strategy" works like this:
- Push his "patriotic" narrative among his brainless followers
- Lets Trump show one (useless) "victory"
- Smoke and mirrors hiding his (and Musk) rampant corruption!

“Gulf of Stupidity,” perhaps?

You give on the small stuff and the ground you've lost has given weight and purchase to the pressure you're going to find on larger points. It's a tug of war and democracy is much closer to the line than it was a month ago.

Denali is and was. White man can’t change that. Call that water what ya want. Mexico was long before America. lol I’m sure the name fit it well for a long time. And will be the name again. :) or wait still is. Fuck trump. Most of us just call it the #gulf

invalidham.bsky.social•8 days ago

It's a 2+2=5 loyalty test to the tyrant, and I will NEVER call it that for ANY reason, not even at gunpoint. Fuck these people and fuck everyone who voted for them.

skovby.bsky.social•7 days ago

Nope. Never.

Donald Trump: making Turkmenistan a model of sane leadership by comparison

theorem1.bsky.social•8 days ago

Or he is trying to lay claim to all the natural resources in the Gulf.

thomasmass.bsky.social•8 days ago

These are trump made distractions to make you forget the false promises!
