Like "Gulf of America" wasn't stupid enough

[Politruk]

Now Trump wants to rename the Persian Gulf as the Arabian Gulf.

To be fair, this idea is not original with him. But why take sides?! Saudi Arabia is even worse than Iran, we should not be cozy with that country!

 

[Politruk]

This has been a problem for some time now.

The fuckhead is actually DOING this, for real!

Try this one.

Iran ain't taking it well.

And, once again, the U.S. should not be siding with SA against Iran!

Of course, if you cared about that, you'd have voted for Harris.

Calm down Karen. I was kidding You’ll be fine.

They will if Trump decides to rename them.

I'm aware. What I'm not aware of is what even you could possibly find funny about such a thing.

It’s a body of water that the government will refer to under a different name. That is all.

But they'll also try to make things hard on anybody who will not conform to their preferred usage -- we've already seen that happen.

Renaming things is what you do when you want to make a visible impact, but don't want to spend money on it or put any work into it.

Politruk frequently posts things that make me chuckle. You too.

So it’s kinda like when a guy calls his girl “babe.”

Which also saves you the trouble of remembering her name or distinguishing her from your other girls.

You mean like allowing AP’s competitors equal access to the Oval Office and Air Force One?

This is why I require a personalized nickname

No, you all may not know what @Politruk calls me!

 

[YDB95]

You mean like allowing AP’s competitors equal access to the Oval Office and Air Force One?

In a word, no.

 

[Politruk]

No, like denying AP said access.

IOW, entirely characteristic of Trump.

Not that he’s any good at it.

Mexico is suing Google for renaming Mexican territorial waters in Trump's honor.

If in Europe, you get 'Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)' so covering their bases.
