Turns out the "rename it the Gulf of America" bill is a joke - WHEW

stfuconservatives:

“Mississippi Democratic Representative – and wiseacre — Steve Holland was fuming over the way Republicans’ wasted valuable time on symbolic posturing. So, to illustrate, Holland proposed renaming the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. You want posturing? I’ll show you posturing — that kind of thing.

“Holland explained, “I didn’t do it to be funny but more so to give a parallel of how insignificant are the issues that this far right crowd is pushing as their primary agenda.” Didn’t matter — social media went off. Rename the Gulf of Mexico?!?! But…but…but!!!!

“This post, highlighted by the satire-savvy Jackson Free Press, was typical: “If this bill passes the legislature and is signed into law, perhaps it is time to rename the Mississippi River. After all, sharing a name with a state that wants to rewrite maps out of disdain for Mexicans would be a disgrace to the rest of the nation.”

Between this and the “every sperm is sacred” bill in Oklahoma, I am LOVING the Democrats getting in the GOP’s face about their “symbolic” bills and shit.
