@George-K said in Gulf watch:

We live in the United States of America.

I think it would be reasonable to name it "Gulf of The Americas". It does cover Central America also.

Or we could call it the "Gulf of the United States". Mexico official name is "United Mexican States" so it would work for them also. LOL

I think that is exactly why he did this.

Throw a bone to msnbc, so they ignore the stuff he wants them to ignore.

That's my suspicion too. We used to do it all the time in contracts - put something ridiculous in there you know they will reject and it makes it easier to keep what you really wanted.

Google said it would change the Gulf of Mexico to “Gulf of America” for users inside the United States once the Interior Department officially changes what it calls the body of water in its official naming system.
People in Mexico will continue to see the Gulf of Mexico name, while those outside both countries will see both names, Google said Monday in a post on X.

[Copper]

Kind of like Peking.

I refer to that Ottoman occupied city as Constantinople.

I’ll check on this every week or so.

I've never been swimming in the Gulf of America, but when I went to the beach on the Gulf of Mexico and swam around, I got a fungal ear infection. I double that'll be a problem anymore.

[jon-nyc]

AAPL still a holdout.

[Mik]

Dumb.

[Renauda]

I saw a map today designating the northern portion of the Gulf of Mexico as

Golfo del Gringo Loco

Not any more. LOL

[Doctor Phibes]

Link to video

[jon-nyc]

I posted that a few days back

[Copper]

He posted that a few days back

[Horace]

Still hasn't been seen by those who have both jon and Phibes blocked.

[Horace]

I need time to process my emotions, thinking about everybody that has jon and Phibes blocked, never seeing that video. There is too much unfairness in this world. It breaks my heart.

And yet the Democrats do nothing.

@Horace

There is too much unfairness in this world.

By using that word “unfairness” you’re beginning to sound more like a Trumpigulacrat than the decent and respectful Rand Paul style libertarian Republican you actually aspire to be.
