    This is super dumb.

    How are these morons so offended about the name of a body of water?

    Their fragile ego is so completely shattered because Mexico “has a Gulf” and they “don’t”? Little men with too much power.

      Ultimate pettiness, show of power, or misdirection from other, more concerning news.
      Could be all at of those or something entirely different, but it sure is pathetic.

      It’s misdirection and makes any laws or regulations specifically mentioning the Gulf of Mexico no longer apply since “tHeRe iSnT a gULf oF mExIcO.”
