House Passes GOP-led Bill to Rename Gulf of Mexico

Thursday, May 08, 2025

The House has passed a Republican-led bill that would rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, moving a step closer to codifying President Donald Trump's push to rename the body of water. The bill, which lawmakers approved in a 211-206 vote, now moves to the Republican-led Senate for consideration.

Trump, as CNN has reported, is also making plans for the US to begin referring to the Persian Gulf as the Gulf of Arabia or the Arabian Gulf.

Comments

the bill would require federal agencies to update all maps and documents with the name Gulf of America.

Which everyone will then translate to themselves as the Gulf of Mexico.

Did DOGE approve of this cost-saving measure?

Thank God there's nothing else for house republicans to focus their attention on.

How much are they getting paid to sit back while Trump runs this nation through executive orders?

They approved $1 billion dollars for Trump to go golfing, on his own golf courses.

Here is the next Executive Order from Dotard Trumpf:

"By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered:

Section 1: Each planet in the solar system will be renamed the following: Mercury shall now be called Tiffany, Mars will be Don Junior, Venus shall be Ivanka, Jupiter will be Donald, Uranus will be Melania, Neptune will be Eric, Pluto will be Jarred, and the Moon will be renamed Barron.

It is in the best interest of the Nation to waste time, money, and resources on these megalomaniacal and frivolous contrivances to soothe my over-inflated ego and throw my cult followers red meat to go along with their Kool Aid.

My Administration will work to make the United States the most idiotic and untrustworthy nation in the world while pilfering its wealth on behalf of the oligarchs and Vladimir Putin, and helping Israel rid itself of Palestinians.

The United States Space Force (an imbecilic and unnecessary branch of the US military I established during my first reign of terror) shall provide funding for publication of this order in the Federal Register."

(Signed)
Dotard Trumpf

THE WHITE HOUSE,

May 8, 2025.

Why rename such a small body of water? WhReally though, I don't really think hy nor rename the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans? Really though, these bodies of water are not owned by the U,S. so neither the President nor Congress has the authority to rename them! Donald Trump is a pompous ass and an embarrassment to this nation.

Just call it what they really want.

Gulf of MERCA.

Renaming things to appease the Lyin King is much more important than improving health care or immigration reform or lowering prices for Americans.

Here in Florida and the rest of the coast of the Gulf of Mexico er refer to it as "Hurricane Alley!"

It's hilarious to watch Trump say he's so sick of waste but then turns around and does something so meaningless that requires a lot of costs. It's not weaponized liberal hypocrisy bad, but it's almost just as stupid.

"Thank God there's nothing else for house republicans to focus their attention on.
How much are they getting paid to sit back while Trump runs this nation through executive orders?"

Almost EXACTLY word-for-word what Reps were saying about Biden his first week in office. I knew it wouldn't take but a few seconds to find a prime example of that weaponized liberal hypocrisy.

Again, if you don't like a POTUS abusing EO privileges, stop your own side from doing it and THEN worry about other people. Or, will you put money on the table right now that when a Dem is voted in the POTUS seat again that he/she will not use EOs? You can't have it both ways.

Actually democrats will have no choice but to use EOs to cancel all of the retarded EOs Trumpy has used for revenge and retribution.

MAGA maroons forget there will be a time after Trumpy. And being as old senile and dysfunctional as Trumpy is then it's probably coming sooner than later.
