Reports from Mar-a-Lago that Drumpf is crying and pissing and shitting himself.
I’d like to believe this hurt to hear on some level, but I’m not convinced they are capable of feeling shame. We wouldn’t be in this mess if any of these people had a conscience.
This is so much more useful than building a coalition of militant labor unions that will take your fight into the factories and threaten capitalist production at its core.
holy shit I bet that would hurt their feelings real bad if the people in the administration could understand a word of what she said
Mr. Trump? You are a DUNCE sir. I bet you feel pretty silly now, don't you?

All the fighting seems to be about if it should be called the "Gulf of Mexico" or the "Gulf of America". The solution here is to give both parties what they want. Drop the "Gulf of" that no one seems to be up in arms about and just call it "Mexico America".
Or “Gulf of”
"Gooch of Florida"
Liberals saw Joseph Welch ask McCarthy "Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last?", and their takeaway was and is Neat, that's all it takes
Meanwhile, Republicans spent the last 50+ years constructing a party that selects for individuals without a sense of shame.
fucking Sorkinist DWEEBS jfc
Newspapers gotta use headlines like X SLAMS Y not to make things sound interesting but to make it sound like any of this shit has any material impact at all.
I'm not defending the name change, and there's no way this was on Trump's mind, but I was once told that central and South Americans largely identify as "American" in the way that their continent is also named "America". My Spanish teacher told us that if we ever found ourselves in a Latin American country, it was uncouth to say you were "American" instead of a citizen of the U.S. because of this
I have no idea how true this is, or if my 20 year old information is true or still relevant. All I'm saying is I'm surprised nobody is cynically spinning this as "well, it's more inclusive to the other countries that make up the Americas and some share a border with the gulf"
I have no idea how true this is, or if my 20 year old information is true or still relevant.
In Brazil we mostly use "americano" to talk about people from the US, although "estadunidense" is also relatively common, especially among leftists, so a US citizen calling themselves American would be okay. Lots of us identify as Latin American, and we'll often say "we're all Americans" but it's more like a joke than actually identifying as such.
Having said that, however... any Brazilian who calls the United States "América" in Portuguese, has just about a 99% chance of being a complete fucking right wing aspiring comprador dumbass. It's one of the most telling signs that someone has terminal gusano brain.
Interesting! Thanks for clearing it up a bit. I don't like holding onto wrong information. My Michigan ass education can only go so far haha
My limited understand is that it's mostly true, and I've had the same thought myself
We should do landback and call it Golfo de las Américas if that's what we're going for.
why is giving it a spanish name landback
I mean do landback and then rename stuff. Renaming stuff before landback is just liberal premature emancipation.
I'd back that. Why not?
I really wonder if the next lib president is going to change it back or not. They never "fix" stuff the Republicans do so I would be surprised. I could see them spinning it like I mentioned above just out of sheer laziness
if you change every fool of the ship of fools with another fool, is it a new ship? 
The replies physically pain me 
Got eem
This was just one of dozens of amendments on this bill in Committee. Wasting Republican controlled congress's time is exactly what I want dems to be doing rn.
Serious question - how much time did they waste. A few hours?
Well, it doesn't look like that's what they did.

So witty, so empowered, just like on your favourite TV series.
Or one could name it after what the indigenous people called it.
