“All we want is for the decree issued by the US government to be complied with,” Sheinbaum said.

“The US government only calls the portion of the US continental shelf the Gulf of America, not the entire gulf, because it wouldn’t have the authority to name the entire gulf,” she added.

this suit pertains to google’s renaming of the entire body of water instead of just the bits over the u.s. continental shelf; or essentially the u.s. eez–which is no more than 200nm from land, less where it runs into another nation’s eez.

that region extends roughly due east from the southern tip of texas to 200nm from flordia’s gulf coast, then south until it runs into cuba’s eez where it’s then split between the two countries.

It’s a petty thing that eats the available bandwidth of Trump’s lawyers. I’m all for it. Overload them with court cases.

Because they are operating in Mexico and are subject to Mexican law.

You say that but there are some political judges that would jump at the chance to win against this one though

Fishing, a hobby reliant on both skill and luck, where practioners must be patient for long periods of time…

Yeah, I just don’t see Trump doing that. Even if somehow he were roped into a fishing event, he’d probably make someone else hold his fishing rod and do all the work. He’d still take credit if that person made an impressive catch, of course. But if they didn’t catch the absolute Biggliest fish? He could simply deny having taken part in the activity.

Now that I’m thinking about it, I wonder how many Trump voters would change their mind if Trump joined regular, working class people for a day of fishing. No, seriously. Although I don’t fish, my dad’s an outgoing fisherman, who chats up everyone with a rod out at the lake. I can imagine lots of fishers being excited to have Trump around - at first. But his boasting, his impatience, and his loud voice scaring fish could become very grating very fast. He’d probably have no idea how to hold a flopping fish, a skill that most fishers figure out while still kids, sometimes through the peer pressure of laughter… Which makes it easy to imagine Trump’s illusion of “strong masculinity” shattering the moment a slimy fish tail flails across his orange face (go ahead - take a moment to picture it. You deserve a treat.) People would laugh, Trump would feel his ego bruise, and he’d react the way we all know he would - like a toddler.

Yeah, some voters would walk away with their opinions unchanged, but it would be very eye-opening for many.

I am from the Gulf coast and have always said, when describing where I’m from “the Gulf coast”, but since all this bullshit I’ve been making it a point to say I’m from “the Gulf of Mexico”, cause fuck that guy. But also it’s fucking dumb, it’s all just sea, who gives a shit. Next thing you know he’ll be saying the “pacific of America”

A person is smart. People are stupid, what were you saying again?

Can you keep your dick in your pants long enough to think about serious stuff for a minute?
