It’s for the dumbest of the retards to cheer about and the pussiest of the sky screamers to whine about.

Naming something means you have authority over it. That’s why the cool women take their husbands name.

Would yall object if Trump announced he wanted to rename the country to “Trumpland”?

Assuming you would, why is renaming the Gulf of Mexico different?

I’m still pretty certain this is just the ultimate troll job.

He wants them spending their media and political capital on this instead of his other policies. It’s called flooding the zone.

Nah... frick that. I want to be as petty as those liberal queers. To them this is as bad as putting all those racist statues back up (which I hope also happens).

I don’t care if it’s fake or real news…y’all need to hold your horses… that shite is gonna have to take some time to propagate. It could be months for digital listings and years for print.

It’s an easy one for Google to “let them win this one” while simultaneously cranking up their black box algorithms to silent conservatives and making AI more woke. Still, I’m sure at least 5,000 purple hair employees literally vomited about this so I’ll accept.

I am happy to change the name but TBH, it has been the GOM my whole life and I cant imagine me change they way I say it.


I’ve always just called it the gulf.

I always refer to the states on the gom, the gulf states. Not the Gulf of Mexico states.


So basically frick Mexico.
