No such thing. Ask away!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Because it doesn't spark outrage. Outrage is the swiss army knife of the new fascists. It's distracting us from all the horrific shit they are doing, we're overwhelmed with rapid insane information so we can't focus on what they just did, and it allows them to subtilty shift "normal" their direction; thus all opposition must be "radical".
New Mexico is already part of the US. It's not really the name, it's the expansionist intention.
He's going to annex as much territory as he can without weapons before declaring war.
because he's never heard of new mexico
Because the Gulf of Mexico has oil?
Because USA spilled it there?
Boom!
Occam razor : Trump does not know that New Mexico is a state of the USA
Isn't that Harlan's razor?
Hanlon's razor, interesting, yes, can apply to trump, he is a stupid idiot
It's one of those "shithole" states he doesn't acknowledge
yup, like Puerto Rico
Do not disparage Puerto Rico by calling it a state.
New Mexico has an actual constitution, as well as three whole branches of government, who have the official say on what is called. The Gulf of Mexico just has some fish and oil rigs.
i imagine they have a judiciary system, what with all those scales
Huehuehue
We just assume these things are meaningless, but has anyone stopped to ask the fish if they have a constitution!?
:P
And has anyone asked the fish how they feel about all this?
Because changing a state's whole name would have to go through that state's legislative process, not federal?
Meanwhile Denali is on federal land within Alaska. And idk. He doesn't really give a fuck about consistency or rational thought from one move to the next.
I now return to my news media detox for the next week or so...
Why do we call it New York ? Or New Hampshire ?
We should make it Yorkerest or Hampshirer to show them Brits!
Newest England
Do you mean Big York and New Hamberger?
Why does an idiot idiot?
We'll probably never know.
I'm guessing it's because it's easier to do stupid stuff than actual hard work and stupid people that like him also like doing stupid stuff more than hard work.
yesterday I learned that trump is 78yo, like, why US people vote for a person that could be senile and should be... retired? xd
Just like with everything else, it's easier and he's fat lazy piece of shit.
Can we also call the White House "The United States of America Corrupt Fascist Oligarch Headquarters"?
Done.
You can always try to rename it on Google maps, but I suggest something simpler. Perhaps "Funny house" or "Cuckoo's nest".
listen, consort trump fully knows what a gulf is~
he plays it with the best people.
just remember to replace 'america' with 'trump' every time he says it and things start to get winning.
also anything renaming is easy accomplishment to his belt.
It's the Sea of Japan all over again!
We already have the latter.
