“Free Speech” President Bars AP from WH Event Over “Gulf of Mexico”

[probinson]

Rap isn't my favorite art form, but the media talked about it for days. It was a very anti Trump message--the choreographed flag formation being torn asunder, the interplay between Lamar and Uncle Sam (uel Jackson.)

I guess when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

BTW, the media is STILL talking about the "left shark" from Katy Perry's halftime show, and that was over 10 years ago.

....I see no reason to replace a geographical name that has been in use for nearly 600 years.

These are the kind of actions that one would expect from a tin-pot dictator with something to prove.

600 years?

Mexico wasn't called Mexico until the 1800's

After the Empire fell and the Republic was established in 1824, a Federation name form was adopted; which was, at most times, more de jure than de facto. The Mexican name stuck, leading to the formation of the Mexican Republic which formally is known as the United Mexican States.​

​

2025 - 1824 = 201 years - you need a better calculator.

600 years?

Well, close to 500.

The name "Gulf of Mexico" ... first appeared on a world map in 1550 and a historical account in 1552.

Mexico being the place where the Mexica lived, and they certainly held that name even before the arrival of Europeans.

The Mexica established Tenochtitlan, a settlement on an island in Lake Texcoco, in 1325.

...and you need to study history.

...in any case, 500 or 600 years, my point stands.

It's a well established name.

If Hugo Chavez had proposed renaming the Caribbean Sea as the Sea of Venezuela, he would have been ridiculed...and rightly so.

No - you can't name something after a country that is known as New Spain - reality makes your point fall to pieces.

Again, you're cherry picking history...

AP accurately reports what an FAA employee said.

Keep the diversions coming.

Reporting factually on what an AP reporter did is now a hit piece?

Again, you're cherry picking history...

Accuracy is now cherry picking?

Mexico was named Mexico in the 1800's - How can you have a gulf named after a country 400 years before it existed under that name?

It is also important to note - the AP and reporter's right to free speech was not impinged in any form as exampled by their numerous reports about the matter. As the Presidents Press Secretary so adequately explained:

 

[Jipsah]

Right wing cancel culture.

Sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander

 

[Jipsah]

Fired by who?

Presumably by his employer, hence the lawsuit. You actually ought to read the stuff you think you're responding to.

 

[Yarddog]

Sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander

Things work both ways.

 

[Jipsah]

Things work both ways.

Yeah, that's what that means, innit?

 

[NxNW]

Presumably by his employer

So you don't know?

hence the lawsuit. You actually ought to read the stuff you think you're responding to.

If you don't know the answer, why are you responding?

I'm just wondering what Joe Biden had to do with all of this.

 

[Jipsah]

So you don't know?

Pamela Ricard, who teaches math at Fort Riley Middle School, had been suspended for violating the Geary County Schools’ Diversity and Inclusion Policy that requires educators to refer to students by their preferred names and pronouns. In the lasuit, she said she refuses to use the preferred names and pronouns of transgender and nonbinary students because it violates her religious beliefs.

I'm just wondering what Joe Biden had to do with all of this.

Probably nothing, since he spent almost all of his "presidency" oblivious to what was going on around him.

So she was suspended by the democratically-elected school board?

Probably nothing

Then it's a lousy example, isn't it?

since he spent almost all of his "presidency" oblivious to what was going on around him.

Never happened.
