Working on the important stuff first I see! While we're at it, why did we slip back into calling them French fries. We need to throw some serious money at this problem - I'm talkin' make the libs complain we could have ended homelessness money at changing the damn name of fried fucking potatoes!! Yeah, hand me my mountain dew hat! We're dewin this! Murica! Hellz yah!

This will go over about as well as the Sacagawea dollar coin, and the coin had the advantage of actually being a good idea.

This is not good obviously, but it's also very US-centric to think that name Gulf of America indicates it belongs to the US. In an alternate timeline it would totally make sense to have a gulf between two Americas called the Gulf of America or even the American Sea. But the US has effectively hijacked the name America

Delusional LMAO.
America isn't even the countries name, it's "The United States OF America" with North America being the continent it's on.

I feel like it's not great to say "Congress is already prepping" instead of "Marjorie Taylor Greene is prepping legistlation"

The Onion is running out of material
More meaningless culture war bullshit.
How about New Mexico state?
Trump tomorrow: "we're renaming the state of New Mexico to the state of New Murica!"

And French Fries are now Freedom Fries /s
20 some years ago when that happened, I remember saying "What? That's stupid....". I was a teenager at the time. I was yelled at by adults saying "NO! IT'S NOT STUPID!!! WE'RE AMERICANS!!! FREEDOM FRIES ARE AN AMERICAN FOOD!!! WE GROW POTATOES IN IDAHO!!! NOT PARIS!!!!"
Today, I'm 41. Teenager me wasn't immature. Well, ok, I was, on a lot of things. But NOT on this. 41 year old me looks back and says teenager me was right.
This IS stupid.
French fries then, french fries now.

I guess "Bumpkin Bay" is a little too on the nose.
Or maybe "Gulf Of Florida Man."
Fine, then we gotta spend the money to care for the natural life there as if it were ours.
Oh you don't want to spend the money? Figures, you cheapskate "conservatives".
