I'm not suggesting she should kiss ass, far be it from me. But I still don't see a good motive for this move. A civil suit is not going to get her anything, she's just highlighting Trumps symbolic bullshit even more.
And then when the suit either goes against her or goes for her but results in laughibly low compensation because the measureable harm is not significant, then it will look like a confirmation of the power of the convict in chief.

Oops. My bad

I was talking about Google kissing Trump's ass. Which is why this is happening.
It takes an act of congress to rename a domestic post office. Google has taken his executive order and decided it's true for everyone, at least parenthetically.

Sorry, that isn't what I was trying to say. It's not about "letting the bully do it" (which isn't what i said at all, so i dont know why you put it in quotation marks)
It's just a name. It's nothing. Better to fight him on denying trans people, or taking away rights from women, or reversing climate change deals, or letting a lizard faced man child dismantle the federal governement, or promoting racism, and nazi-ism.
The name of a fucking body of water means absolutely nothing compared to some of the shit he is pulling.
I dont think being concerned with the name of the gulf matters at all compared to this.
Did you see recently the thing about plastic straws? That he wants to bring back plastic straws? This is the kind of thing he wants to change! Trump is a complete moron and he is causing a crazy amount of damage to the US and the rest of the world. But you want to fight him over changing the name of some water?
No! i will not accept my downvotes, i stand by what i said. Its not important, you are directing your anger at the wrong target.

just added maps.google.com to pihole blacklist

Is there Google maps in China? If there is, I'd be surprised if it didn't say that. That is claiming ownership. Countries can't own a gulf beyond the domestic waters convention. But, I don't know, that's a good question because a regular Chinese person would just be confused. It wouldn't effect any policy change
-
I did not say in China. Google Maps says "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)" in most of the world. It sure is here in Britain.
Also, calling the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America is a clear claim of ownership.

I wish i could add childishness to my pihole blacklist.
Seriously, think about what you are angry about here. Is this what matters to you?
-
Well, the continent was named America, not the US continent. So the name Gulf of America just sounds right.
-
Mexico didn't own it before any more than the US owns it now. I don't like the nationalistic intentions, but I can rationalize it to myself that Mexico is also part of [North] America
-
No shit they didn't. And they never have. Because it was called the Gulf of Mexico before Mexico as a nation existed. It was called that because it was named after the Valley of Mexico, which was part of New Spain.. Mexico as a country didn't exist until centuries later.

Maybe actually read the history of this before deciding this is about anyone other than Trump claiming ownership of that gulf.

No one can own the Gulf anyway. Trump just wanted to stir shit up and people like you getting all bent out of shape are just playing into it. It's just a name
