Mexico’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, has suggested North America could be renamed ‘Mexican America’ in response to Donald Trump’s pledge to rename the Gulf of Mexico the ‘Gulf of America’. Sheinbaum used a map from 1607 to demonstrate an early portrayal of North America, including the United States. The comments came after Trump talked about a broad expansionist agenda that could include taking control of the Panama canal, Greenland and Canada.

    So glad we now live on an episode of the Jerry Springer show, so much better than the last 4 years…

        The Democrats did enable genocide though.

        Doesn’t mean Trump was going to be any better.

          While I respect what you are saying, now was not the time for people to be spouting all of that when a literal orange idiot, who everybody knows has a rabid fan base cult that would vote for him even if he shit and pissed on them, was running. It was just stupid. If Kamala had won, then immediately on inauguration day, we could all start voicing our opinions just as loudly as those people were doing before a major election. We would’ve had a whole 4 years to get together to do this to drive the point home further.

          But no. We were too busy trying to get people to not vote at all, or to vote third party. This is the direct result of that.

          Do I think Democrats are great? No, not really, especially now. It would have been a hell of a lot better than this god damn shit though.

          Oh well. Too late now.

          *EDIT
          To add to the void, this is one of the major reason I feel like actual progress isn’t made. We have way too many people/groups vying for one thing or the other instead of banding together and tackling one major issue at a time. It’s hard to get things done when every group only cares about THEIR specific issue.
