I thought this was a Beaverton article when I saw the headline... nope, we're just that far stupid now.

We jumped the naming shark at Gulf of America.
The same president who is a child rapist? ... let's rename it to Lake Epstein to honour trump's best friend
Canada should pass legislation that updates all official Canadian sources to name the nation to the south the United State of Disarray.
Or maybe United States of Joe Biden. That would rankle.
The Disunited States of Paranoia
Traditionally in my family it's called the Excited States of Hysteria.
We call it Disparos Unidos de AmΓ©rica (United Shootings of America) here
Lake Ontario, the smallest of the great lakes... If he does this, we'll rename lake superior as Lake Canada
I wouldn't even dignify it with a response.
Oh jesuchristo, I guess we just name everything after Amerigo Vespucci now? Every lake is Lake America, every road called America like we are some vast subdivision - America Highway, America Road, America Circle, America Street, America Court, America Way, America Path. Every forest just called America National Forest. Every river the American River.
I cannot wrap my mind around how idiotic this guy is.
all right boys get the shipyards going, its 1812 again! we will get revenge for the sacking of york!
Lake America. Guld of America. American Ocean. Red White And Blue Sea. When will it stop.
It will end when America ends. I said this on July 19, 2016 when Trump first won the GOP nomination: "Historians will mark this day specifically as the beginning of dissolution of the united states of America."
Mark my words, Trump's death will trigger a doubling down on fascism to fill the vacuum left by his populism. They will exact revenge on anyone who celebrated Trumps death, just like after Charlie Kirk died. The concentration camps full of 'immigrants' will be vacated to make room for the political enemies of the Post-Trump-Regime.
The USA as we know it is in it's final decade. What's happening now will be taught in history books right after the chapter on Nazi Germany.
I welcome it. They have been a disease my entire life.
The thing I hate most about Americans is that I was genuinely not racist before MAGA USA.
I unfortunately am now racist against Americans and feel bad about not feeling bad about it anymore.
Like nothing against the cool one's but holy shit 9/10 of them suck ass.
edit: I don't actually hate americans... but American culture is absolute shit and Americans should all hang their heads in shame.
Told an American tourist I hope he votes this fall this morning and he got so pissed. "What the fuck is that supposed to mean" "I think you know. I just hope for the best."
I was. I was raised to hate USA people. For two decades I thought my mom was misguided. She was right. They are ALL spineless degenerates unworthy of the air they breathe.
The faster we cure their disease the better.
Radiation therapy.
Fair. Canadians only gave USA a free pass cuz until now we've been their evil sidekicks.
He wanted to rename San Andreas Fault to Joe Bidens Fault
That one would honestly be funny, Joe was a far better watch than the movie it was named after π€·ββοΈ
The idiotic Google and some other US mapping web pages changed the name of the gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, and the world got mad at them sending emails, sending corrections, and as I understand it a lot of phone calls. So it is now only the Golf of America down in the US on those services, which is to much.
I broke and used the Google to send in a correction that day, I had been using ecosia at the time (they were still using Bing and Yahoo results at the time). Ecosia has gone down the pooper with AI crap now, which sort of defeats the purpose of what they were doing so I have switched from them to self hosting searXNG.
When the headline drops, hopefully
The fact that news is giving this any attention at all lends it legitimacy.
News media sucks. Clickbait.
Packed diaper havin, broom brush head ass
Neither Canada nor New York want this. He can fuck off.
Imbecilic, petulant child
Hilarious self-own by Cheeto man. What a little bitch.
this comes straight from the district of america so all the countries will follow it /s
Isn't Canada in America as well? π€π€ Or did you all move to another continent?
Learn geography please. Canada and America are both on the North American continent.
So the answer is yes? Also, I think you mean the United States in your reply, not America.
Forests mom had a saying β¦
Canada is in America, depending on your definition of continents.
Check out what other languages call this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americas
Nearly all other languages refer to the two landmasses as "America", not "Americas". North America is the northern part of America, South America is the southern part.
Is north america not one of the americas? So the joke didn't land no need to be rude about it.
