He lays in his bed at night, cheeks flushed and giddy because of pride at his incredible idea. Which has nothing to do with a declaration of war. Oh, hold on... wait, hold please. We'll get back to you on that.

Meanwhile bird flu runs rampant through GA and the CDC is muzzled. Good to know their reps are focused on what really matters.

The GOP keeps finding ways to be even dumber and more gauche and ignorant. Just when it seems they can go no lower without devolving into some previous hominid, they still manage to find a path to being even dimmer and grosser.

Being embarrassed by France for being called out as a nation of warmongers is just as stupid a 'reason' to rename something as Trump's longstanding hatred and resentment of Mexico. Imo.

Person in the United Kingdom (technically part of the rest of the world) here.

Google Maps is showing "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)".

The cringe has gone global.

reply

cyb3rmaniak.bsky.social•11 days ago

Historians from the future might think the 2nd Mexican-American war was fought about that gulf.

It will be written that a silly misunderstanding (Trump heard "Golf") has plunged the US into a deranged trade war with everybody. Then Trump kicked the game board, and went home, calling it a win.

reply

mikehypercube.bsky.social•11 days ago

Yes, that's what I get. It's slightly less cringe than what folks in the US thought we were seeing though.

More like "English Channel (La Manche)"
