Seems the latter would be more a “priority “ for conservatives.

      It’s one of those “shithole” states he doesn’t acknowledge

    New Mexico has an actual constitution, as well as three whole branches of government, who have the official say on what is called. The Gulf of Mexico just has some fish and oil rigs.

    Because changing a state’s whole name would have to go through that state’s legislative process, not federal?

    Meanwhile Denali is on federal land within Alaska. And idk. He doesn’t really give a fuck about consistency or rational thought from one move to the next.

    I now return to my news media detox for the next week or so…

    Because it doesn’t spark outrage. Outrage is the swiss army knife of the new fascists. It’s distracting us from all the horrific shit they are doing, we’re overwhelmed with rapid insane information so we can’t focus on what they just did, and it allows them to subtilty shift “normal” their direction; thus all opposition must be “radical”.

    Why does an idiot idiot?

    We’ll probably never know.

    I’m guessing it’s because it’s easier to do stupid stuff than actual hard work and stupid people that like him also like doing stupid stuff more than hard work.

    New Mexico is already part of the US. It’s not really the name, it’s the expansionist intention.

    He’s going to annex as much territory as he can without weapons before declaring war.

    Can we also call the White House “The United States of America Corrupt Fascist Oligarch Headquarters”?

      You can always try to rename it on Google maps, but I suggest something simpler. Perhaps “Funny house” or “Cuckoo’s nest”.
