Gulf of America. Buy those maps quick.

They need to stop relying on the 'wisdom' coming from Adam Schiff, AOC, and Rachel Maddow.
OOPS! I've said too much already.
:unsure:

Well, you did say too much, because, with all due respect, it was total garbage, that which you implied and or accused.

It won't change. He can't decree worldwide maps to change; not even school textbooks the way China or even Japan does.

Those are two good sea names to watch for, as well as the persian gulf.
Which, incidentally, on its other (Western) side is called the Arabian Gulf.
 
This is just one more reminder that US store much of it's lands from Mexico. For instance USA has annexed Texas and many other lands.
....and also bought it (together with Cali and the large part of the SouthWest).

Admittedly along the lines of Don Vito Corleone (an offer that couldn't be refused). :D
 
Lol. "Treaty"! We know how these "treaties" are concocted. Am I mistaken, but this Guadalupe Hidalgo was caught as a prisoner ? And forced to sign this "treaty" ? Without referendum, without approve of any people representatives !
Guadalupe Hidalgo is a town, nowadays a suburb of Mexico City :rolleyes:
 
Reminds me of the quote by Otto von Bismark:

Otto von Bismark, “Laws are like sausages. It is best not to see them being made.”​



Maybe that applies to Treaties as well. Afterall treaties are also laws in their own ways. If the Guadalupe Hidalgo Treaty was a bowl of sausages I bet the Mexicans forced to eat them found them particularly unpalatable
Bismarck never said that, but then, seeing how your propensity to quote him while being totally ignorant of him altogether, how would you know? :rolleyes:
 
If I remember correctly they even set a date Octember the fourth twenty seventy six and on that day black folks will magically regain their lost two fifths and it won't mean a damn thing to white folks. We do nothing but lie to ourselves when it comes to our sins as a nation. Slavery may be over, but prejudice is still alive and well in America.
So it was a sin for the Founding Fathers to prevent the slaveholding South from having dominant control over the federal government?

Slavery would continue to this day if progressives had their way.
 
I'm still holding out for The Sea of Holes.

When is Octember 4th, 2076? Is that from some science fiction story you saw on TV?
You're right about this statement: "Slavery may be over, but prejudice is still alive and well in America".
There will always be stupid, bigoted people in this country. It will take decades for those bigots to die off. We are prohibited from using many words which denigrate people of color. So that's a good thing. All we have to do now is stop rap and hip-hop singers from using the N-word and denigrating females in their useless songs.
I am confident that posters like you will make sure the sins of our past are not forgotten - ad nauseam.
 
Nonsense. Texas was an independent country who joined the US voluntarily.
Wow, this old American lie, they like to push.
The playbook for this "Joining" is an old scenario:
1) Send illegal settlers (white Americans ) into the Foreign Lands of Foreign State (Mexico)
2) The Settlers fire a revolt, push for "independence".
3) THe US "recognizes" new interim government of gangsters and criminals and ... independence of "new" State.
4) The US absorbs its victim (which is masqueraded by voluntary joining of new "country" ).

The same playbook is used by Israeli settlers on the west bank. And the same playbook (with slight variations) was used in Ukraine. Everywhere.
Afterwards US propaganda is noising about "Joining".
And only few bold folks have balls to admit: all these "joinings" were an "ARMED ROBBERY".

You can count on it.
 
You can count on it.
Count on what? The nauseam? Or the constant whining about how terrible our country was when our Founding Fathers actually owned slaves? And what a racist country we are despite all of the laws against racial discrimination? I guess those outcomes are redundant.
 
After Trump made his moronic declaration and signed the order requiring that the Gulf of Mexico be renamed the Gulf of America. I went to Amazon and bought a large map, and a globe, with the Gulf of Mexico on them. It seems it was none too soon.


But this is a great opportunity. I mean just think about it. When a Democrat wins the Presidency he can order that all maps and documents list Trump properties as Headquarters, Criminal Empire and there would be nothing that can be done to stop it.

What are some other naming suggestions you all have since the Presidency is now so Imperial?
I wouldn't hold your breath. There may never be another Democrat president. ;)

Yeah, the Republican Party might not survive Trump. The conservatives who used to be the bedrock of the GOP have already started to distance themselves from the magatry. Which will mean the Democratic Party will drift to the right when they cross the aisle but that kind of thing has happened before.

Yes, MAGA has lost Mike Pence who had mustered a feckless resistance.
As an aside have you noticed all the anti Trump "journalists" who are retiring or have been fired? Acosta, Todd, Mitchell, Cavuto. What will Democrats do when they lose complete control of the narrative. It has been a joy to watch.

The Democrats are not the ones who abandoned their core beliefs.

Ronald Reagan could without preparation launch into a discussion on his core beliefs. He could debate the issue using examples. Reagan was respected and admired nationally.

Core beliefs are easy to discuss. You believe it in the depths of your soul. The Modern Republican Party has a single Core Belief. We hate Democrats.

That isn’t much of one. Not by a long shot. And the apparent hypocrisy is going to be the downfall of the party. Tough on crime. Unless it is one of us. Back the blue. Unless they come after us. Honor our veterans. Unless they look like a minority or might be gay. Those groups support Democrats. Have the Bible everywhere. But don’t expect us to live by it.

Hatred might get you elected. But to actually do things beyond getting in the door, you are going to need a plan. And Republicans only have one plan. Blame Democrats.

As I said it's been a joy to watch. Democrats are irrelevant now. We have a plan.

What plan is that? Because Trump isn’t addressing diddly squat.

Trump banned Pronouns. Pronouns are apparently unAmerican. Tell you what. Start reading the Constitution and stop when you reach the first Pronoun. For bonus points tell the class what it is and where you found it.

Trump ordered the arrest of 1,500 illegals a day. With the reported 20 million illegals it will take 36 years to get them all. That is if no more enter the nation in that time. So it is never going to be done. Grandstanding. Obviously rounding up those criminal illegals isn’t a core belief.

Trump is going to put an end to unfair trade agreements like the ISMCA which he negotiated. So he gave us a bad deal that he is now going to fix? If a surgeon screwed up your surgery you wouldn’t let him anywhere near your body again. I guess a core belief is that the one who ****s it up the most is the one who is best able to fix it?

I suppose this is like the Gay agenda. Just something you make up.

Once there was a mountain that a president renamed Denali.

It wasn't quite as stupid as Trump's move, but we all survived the Denali renaming, and we will all live through this
