As a born and raised New Mexican, fuck this absolute piece of garbage, and fuck anyone who has voted or is continuing to vote for the convicted rapist and pedophile party. New Mexico is a culturally rich and diverse state, full of traditions going back hundreds, in some cases thousands, of years.
Y’all motherfuckers be… enchanting…
God dam, hit em where it hurts. Brutal
There’s dozens of us New Mexicans here! Dozens!
It’s such a stupid idea because even people who voted for him have New Mexican pride and wouldn’t agree with this change, it’s simply stupid
Are there still Americans who don’t know NM is part of the US, or it that long past?
No that’s still something you come across, not as often as it used to be. 10-15 years ago I had someone ask if they needed their passport to visit NM, which was funny because they were dead serious. I think since Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul got as popular as it did people figured out NM was a state but I cannot confirm this, it’s just my head canon.
Thanks! I hadn’t heard such a story for some time so I wondered.
As a born and raised New Mexican, who now unfortunately lives in the Midwest. Nah, still happening. Got a roomful within the past two months. I blame Missouri public education.
My wife and I love NM. We’re from shithole TX and if there isn’t a blue wave here, we would love to move.
Hey neighbor’s neighbor! We’re in AZ, I’ve been looking fondly over at NM for a bit.
Love visiting NM, except the mountain pass we have to go through to get there. Absolutely hate that part or we might get over more.We moved here from a cold state many many moons ago and Phoenix had a lot to offer for jobs. Feel like we shoulda looked harder back then. To poor now to make another move but, we will if we gotta.
it seems like the gop is getting ready to rig the machines again.
Instead they could change it to New Epstein Files
The America Files
I wish it was just America. Unfortunately it involves people from multiple nations.
Why is he still alive?
Nobody has the stones to do anything about it
Even Death is like “Nah, thanks”
Think of it from Death’s point of view.
He spares this one guy for a while, and in return, that one guy does his job for him, for free.
The french are protesting against education funding. And americans wont get off the couch to rescue their own country.
We are lost
We were never found
Hey, they tried. Twice. And once legally, not physically.
Eh. Honestly, I think it’s pretty likely both incidents in which someone got “close” were probably false-flags. Orangeboi is a complete coward. I genuinely think he’d piss his pants and run away screaming if it was a real attempt on his life. There are a number of very suspicious points to the rally event in particular.
So this coward you speak of agreed to allow a teenager to fire a rifle at him from 350’? And Joe Biden’s USSS, who he had purged of MAGA agents, and Joe Biden’s FBI (who agreed Trump was dinged by a rifle round or fragment) were in on it?
Watch him when they pull him up seconds after we hear the “all clear”. He is fucking stunned. Couple of photographers angle in for a shot (lemmy tells they were in on it as well), Trump sees the first thing he understands, “Cameras on ME!”, and does the fist pump.
And all those USSS agents who were demoted or fired, and both shooters, all agreed to upend their careers and lives for…?
Or we could just admit that a couple of dudes shot their shot at the most reviled man in America, possibly and all-time hatred in American politics.
One guy did, but he didn’t practice enough first.
Sure they do! They just have shitty aim is all
Nah, the rally one was definitely staged. There are a shitload of details that absolutely do not add up.
That’s irrelevant. Why is he still president should be the question.
Once he’s dead, tell me it’s irrelevant
The ultraconservative cabal behind his back who wants their schemes signed and greenlit. They have to keep their puppet alive.
Because apparently no one in this godforsaken shithole of a country can aim properly.
kept alive by the ghost of epstein, and MCDONALds nitrates, and fatansizing about his daughters.
stress ain’t catching up to him
yet
most presidents are affected by stress because they’re actually doing the fucking job, not just alternating pep rallies and golf
true. he was more stressed with the epstein files moving forward some time ago.
Saw a map earlier with Albuquerque renamed Charliequerque lol
I appreciate you sticking your neck out and posting this
💀
Lets rename New Mexico to release the Epstein files instead
trump files
Midterms in 14 days, everyone.
I hope it’ll be brutal for Dumpy
‘America’ is becoming a slur.
I actually don’t have anything positive to say about America.
I guess I can say it’s better than China and Russia for a big country. And it’s nice that it’s big and people can travel between so many states too, each with slightly different culture.
Is it better? I mean, at least China makes a a crapload of stuff. What does America export besides entertainment and bombs?
So the US largest export is oil and petrolium? Haven’t really heard that talked about so much.
China is barely smaller than the US, and what you think is a unified Chinese language is actually a bunch of mutually unintelligible languages in a trench coat.
The cultural differences between regions in the US are usually much smaller than ones in China.
The most obvious examples of this are the regions of Xinjiang and Tibet.
I admit I don’t know much about China, so thank you.
Wasn’t this just an Onion article like a couple months ago, and now it’s on Nottheonion?
i thought it was a local newspaper but yeah the snopes article matches what i remember
It hurts that snopes has an “originated as satire” category
Comically, New Mexico acquired its name long before “New Spain” became Mexico. Apparently New Mexico predates Mexico. (By a decent while too).
Edit ended up reading the article, it is listed in the article further down as well “New Mexico’s name predates the founding of the United States back to the 16th century”
Apparently New Mexico predates Mexico. (By a decent while too).
…
New Mexico predates the modern country of Mexico, yes.
But when Spanish Conquistadors first reached the Valle de Mexico, in the 1520s, it was the most densely populated urban area on the planet at over a million people.
That’s why New Mexico includes “new”, because it wasn’t the original.
Mexico made a power move naming itself, knowing New Mexico already existed. “They might be ‘new’ but we’re the og.”
There are no adults coming to save us. It won’t even be that surprising if this ends up happening. Certainly not becausw it makes a shred of sense, just because this timeline is satire.
Were all the other empires throughout history this fucking retarded?
Eventually, yes.
Only the late Habsburgs come to mind.
“New America” doesn’t even make sense. It is IN America, you dolt!
New America
Somewhere I could actually be proud to be an American? Nice.
It was in Mexico when it got its name. Still stupid to rename it though
It was named well before Mexico was a country, actually. But it was named after the Aztec’s Valley of Mexico. First there was the valley, then their was the Spanish owned lands north of the Rio Grande, then came the nation, then came the state but maintaining the old Spanish name (translated to English).
we do not yet have a president. the guy claiming the title is a mob boss that stole it from us, feel free to ignore his specious edicts
After 3 elections people were still dumb enough to believe his lies.
thats the prime target of criminals
Unfortunately you’ve all decided to let him actually run the country while you sit around waiting for your next opportunity to vote for a president, so we don’t actually have the luxury of ignoring his specious edicts because some of them do materially affect our lives.
Signed, The Rest of The World
Remember when we dismissed one of, if not the most, progressive president in our lifetime because he was old and “senile”?
And traded him out for whatever the rapist fuck this is.
The ignorance in America is too vast to describe without sounding like hyperbole.
Said something about Trump’s dementia to a good friend last week, “Yeah, but Biden was pretty bad too wasn’t he?”
There are exactly two people on my street that understand current events, both old black folks. My young black friend (above) and the white people of all ages are clueless. My Asian wife only knows about Trump through me and her friends and family back home who now hate him over gas prices. (See chart)
There’s a monster chunk of our population that votes on vibes and how their personal life is going. Trump’s 30% approval? That’s not MAGA, that’s the politically disconnected.
/rant
No, the “vote by their feelings” people left long ago. These are the hardcore mother fuckers left supporting Republicans and MAGA.
These are the low IQ, racists, the facists, authoritarians. Some just simply won’t vote for any other party besides Republicans.
These are the people who would have still supported Hitler in the hours before he put his gun in his mouth.
These people won’t stop even when Trump is gone. They will deny, rebrand and come back again supporting the same shitty agenda.
The suburbanites are sleep walking through most of this administration. You can only jolt them awake by suggesting trans folks deserve equal rights. I think most of them are racists hiding behind their religion.
We shall see I guess.
indonesia’s a net exporter, right? indonesia and cambodia seem to be outliers and I’m curious why
Probably gov’t subsidies. Here in VN the prices are held artificially low with gov’t subsidies.
Yall chose the most hated woman politician, and put her against Trump. Look at Bernie he still out there freash and fighting good fight. Had a other chance and again chose the fucking neo liberal who spent 4 years accomplishing nothing. Or he did just got overturn. What really pisses me off is the asshole knew, KNEW, he had incurable cancer and still ran again. When it was clear he could not beat Trump instead of having a primary they chose to stick Harris on us that no one wanted. Yet I still voted for her. But millions just didn’t vote.
Now only way out of this is the one thing the majority of Americans refuse to do. And we need millions to do this thing we are to have snowball chance in hell of fixing this problem.
I wonder why is it this one is “the most hated” in your books, and not all the literally neonazi women politicians that you ended up electing into various positions of power?
Yeah, anyone not a centrist would list their most hated female politician as Nancy Pelosi, easy.
Harris lost because the Democratic base was demotivated from inflation, gaza, and a media environment that convinced everyone that those help wanted posters in the windows meant unemployment was high.
The biggest problem was the lack of a real primary. Biden, at his worst, may have never been as mentally compromised as Trump at his best, but it was still obvious he wasn’t up to serving another term. Not stepping aside to let us choose the next candidate ruined the chance we had of stopping Trump.
Add in the “minor update” for the swing state voting machines, which was provided by Leon Hitler.
progressive president in our lifetime
Glazing the bar in hell isn’t gonna make it raise any higher lol.
Sorry, I don’t take your feelings as gospel. I’ve done my homework. Biden was notably progressive. He passed significant progressive legislation.
Progressive like Palestine? That was probably one of the top 5 most progressive things in the 22nd century. I definitely never saw someone holding the separated parts of their baby before then or the bodies of prisoners being returned so mutilated you couldn’t even tell if they have skin.
Joe Biden has stage 4 prostate cancer that spread and is in extreme pain and was doing radiation. I’m not saying by any means Trump was better but Joe Biden absolutely should not have or be president in that condition. He has months to live now.
Sigh, of fucking course he did. Anyways, the capital of Ohio would love to change its name, but I’m sure if they tried he’d be ranting about keeping historical names for American places.
Edit: there’s only one state that’s actually worth renaming and that’s Washington, solely because sharing a name with the country’s capital results in confusion more often than you’d like, and I swear to shit it better not be renamed to America.
