Good thing Trump's opinion means nothing then

[–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

You're joking right? Sure, his opinions are stupid but I invite you to open google maps and scroll over to the body of water between the US and Mexico.

[–] bigbangdangler@reddthat.com 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's just corporate complacency. Thankfully Google doesn't dictate the names of things, either.

It's the exact opposite of 'his opinions don't matter' though.

For me it says

Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)

[–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

Yes. If his opinions didn't matter it would only say 'Gulf of Mexico'.

Can this fucker and all his lackies just drop dead already? holy shit, so stupid, and so evil, it boggles the mind

So do more than 70% of Americans.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

you mean 25%. 45% don't vote, which means they are fine with Trump.

Aren't most locks at the great lakes under Canadian control? Wouldn't it be a shame if those locks would suddenly go into urgent maintenance?

[–] glibg@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

Go ahead USA, waste a bunch of time and money on something that makes no difference to Canada!
