  1. I wonder if a solution to what Google does is for a whole lot of countries to make time changes, frequently.

    Unless Google has a simple process for making these changes. Then that wouldn’t work.

  3. At this rate Google is going to end up having an entirely different map for you depend in the location of your IP lol.

  4. Mexico’s President is actually very shrewd with this move.

    It forces Google’s hand. Before, they could say “We’re just following an American EO and it’s only in America.”

    Now, they’re trapped. If they don’t do this, it’s clearly politically based for them. But if they do this, Republicans will lose their minds.

  6. Now I want to see executive orders from every country making their own special map, lol. See how google deals with that.

  7. Mexico’s level of pettiness is an act of bravery and I am here for it.

  8. Saturday: Trudeau orders America to be called, “Lower Canada”.

  9. Thanks for highlighting how completely fucking stupid theism is. Hope the theists are real proud of their representation in the US. Really making you look like fucking idiots. 👏

    But no. I’m sure theism is a purely objective concept. Ok.

  11. I like her already. It’s nice to see actual strong leadership. 🥹

  12. Or one surely to ruffle feathers, the UK to call it, “The Western Colonies”.

  13. Mexican America was the perfect name
    That epitomized the order of significance, authority and affluence

    – We called it America, NOFX

  14. Seems petty till you realize it basically forces Google to comply (and piss off Trump) or admit they are just playing favorites for Trump, which proves the point Google is complicit in supporting the administration’s acts of jingoism.

  15. (Trump)No.You can’t do that.Stahp.Sooo,where is this heading?It would be hilarious if Trump goes after Google and try to explain the pettiness.

  16. I guess I’m from America Mexicana. Sounds good to me!

  18. Rename the Gulf of California. It’s entirely in Mexico. Guarantee Trump flips his shit

  19. Washington DC should be forever called
    Washing Due to inContinence

  20. Because of the old Vikings coming to what now is known as “America” it should be renamed New Denmark

  22. It’s still ‘Denali’ and ‘Gulf of Mexico’ in Apple Maps right now, and I’m really hoping it stays that way. If you type ‘Gulf of America’ into Apple Maps the name on the map changes to that but the card it pulls up still says ‘Gulf of Mexico’. Once you close out of the app it reverts. Almost seems like a big f* you to Trump than ignoring it altogether, and I love it

  23. Why don’t we all have google change everything things name to dog do do because that what it’s all turning into

  25. Mexico are you taking us?! We fully support this do it! Help please

  26. Humans are so stupid. Our world is on the edge of collapse and we waste time crying over location names

  31. That’s nice, fix your country and maybe people wouldn’t have to go to the US for decent jobs and basic safety, fix your country.

  32. It was a rhetorical statement. I am upset it’s not real. I’d love to see this happen.

  33. The whole thing is silly.

    But I do wish Google had simply run a “find and replace”.

    Would make Trump’s speeches about “America” interesting.

  34. She should call for the US to become the 32nd state of Mexico.

  35. Your play google. Are you really just trying to stay withing the law or are you and Elon Puppet like Trump?

  36. My guess is that google is not going to because they are trying to kiss trump’s butt

  38. Hilarious. As an American, I 100% support this notion. I hope it makes Orange Mussolini piss his pants in anger. (Edit: changed decision to notion as nothing has actually occurred yet)

  39. Should get “Tejas” and “Alta California” in while they’re at it
