Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 11, 2025

And so, a political career is born.

She just needs her Fox News gig to introduce herself to the idiots, then maybe she has a shot, sad to say. She just needs to change her hair colour to fit in with the Fox theme

You also need a good threat for that to work.

May you live in interesting times..

Magats now believe it’s always been the Gulf of America.

Just like they believe that Ukraine invaded Russia.

Obama was not wrong to rename Mount McKinley, but the way he did it made it seem like Presidents could just arbitrarily rename things. Trump learned the wrong lesson from that renaming. Obama should have had some public discussion first.

Gulf of America?

But it was assigned the “Gulf of Mexico” at birth (at least by Europeans).

At the time it was given the name “Gulf of Mexico” five hundred years ago the gulf was completely surrounded by territory of Mexico or Spain, from Florida, the entire Gulf Coast, to Mexico to Cuba.

Before the arrival of the brutal, thuggish Spanish conquistadores, the indigenous Aztec knew it as Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl, or “House of Chalchiuhtlicue” (also “Chalchiuhtlicueye Catl”), after the deity of the seas.

Gullible Trump voters did not vote for phony distractions like invading Greenland or Panama or renaming the Gulf of Mexico and then banning journalists who only referred to “Gulf of America” as an additional note about Trump’s preference.

Trump supporters voted for him to deliver falling prices for eggs, groceries and gas.

Instead, Trump is giving them falling airplanes and falling investment markets.

Gulf of America makes more sense since both continents are also named America.

I’m surprised that Trump didn’t rename The Gulf of Mexico after himself like he does everything else.;-/

Sadly, this is true. Especially lately.

Still giggling over Moonpie renaming Florida. Not gonna lie, I assumed their politics ran the other way, or that they were going to resolve to remain neutral in all things.

Google is a spineless toadie, which is not a surprise, but the editors of Wiki apparently are not, which is probably why they’re under attack.

Well, she’s not wrong.

When is tRump going to force GMC to change its highest trim level name to McKinley?

Social media has made the world a global village; and every village has an idiot.

Cape Canaveral and Mount McKinley were changed. What’s the big deal?

Danae and Donald, have much in common.

Oh gee, the “idiots” are in charge.

Fun watching the MAGAs froth over this. Well done Wiley, some South Canadian humour does travel well over the Canadian Ocean to the UK. Going past East Canada, but not the Gulf of Canada. As for Denali, that’s for the West Canadians to decide. :-)

Like wearing a mask?

How about the Gulf of Space-X Debris?

Getting too political. Losing interest.

MAGAts were called “cousin f ers” by the Faux News fraud they worship.

MAGAts were called “F ing re&$rded” by the Nazi loving car salesman they worship.

MAGAts were called “basement dwellers “ by the Reality Show Con Artist they worship.

They won’t even notice Danae called them idiots because they are too stupid to be insulted.

I’m out of here!!

Man! This piece REALLY attracted the idiot enablers, huh?:

It’s subsequently been re-re-named the “Gulf of SpaceX Debris.”

What does Mexico think of the renaming of its gulf?

Good thing this is only a cartoon — oh, wait, Trump was re-elected, so it may be true.

HATE politics in a comic strip!

What if the world is full of idiots and they elect idiots who re-write history?…

Danea: Starting today, Ruth Willis Elementary School shall be officially known as The Booger Factory.

God gave Man the job of naming things, and we’ve been screwing it up ever since.

Yep, and currently one idiot is changing names and the rest of the idiots are following along like sheep.

Trump’s fantasy, renaming something that the USA does not own, will be reversed when he, mercifully, leaves office.

I have renamed Port-a-potties “Trumps.”

History is the story of the winner… Unfortunately.

Nice one, Mr Miller – and then when the fact checkers come in…..Ihat the think what the history books will look like for the next few years. We need real reporting of the truth now more than ever.

I’ve been reading a lot of “Pogo” recently, and it’s fun to imagine what Walt Kelly (and Mark Twain, for that matter) would do with Traitor Trump.

The Gulf should be named “Gulf of the Americas” a much better description.

If our Oompa-Loompa POTUS had half a brain cell he would have called it the “Gulf of the America’s” but I see where I made the incorrect assumption. I live on the Gulf, which is what the locals call it.

Look out, world, Danae has ideas!

Ain’t it the absolute truth?! although not the world per se, but the USA, yes.

YES!!

Renaming a place in honor of someone or an event is acceptable and has been done in the past. Renaming for just political bias as in the last 4 years is wrong.

It doesn’t always work. Congress once passed a law allowing people with U.S. passports who were born in Jerusalem to have their place of birth listed as “Jerusalem, Israel”; the Supreme Court said, “No, only the President can decide that sort of thing.” Now, is it Burma, or Myanmar? Saigon, or Ho Chi Minh City?

Wait until Trump hears that the word America comes from the name of an Italian mapmaker. We’ll be the United States of Trump then. A nation on the continent of North Trumpica.

‘Golfo del G*ringo Loco’

Two observations: 1) Danae is absolutely correct in her summary conclusions, and 2) I think “Gulf of the Americas” would be more apt.

It was all because of Drill Baby, drill

So timely and appropriate

Split the difference: Gulf of Cuba. Better yet: Gulf of Margaritaville!

Technically, I’m not sure the Gulf of Mexico should actually be called a “gulf:” a gulf is “a large inlet of water partially enclosed by land, usually considered part of a larger sea or ocean;” a sea is “a large body of saltwater, often partially enclosed by land, smaller than an ocean;” and an ocean is the largest expanse of saltwater on Earth, covering most of the planet’s surface, with no significant land barriers dividing it. I would think that physically, the Gulf of Mexico is salt water and certainly large enough to be called a sea [it’s larger than the East China Sea, the Sea of Japan, the Red Sea, and the Baltic Sea]. Of course, technically, we only have one ocean — because there are no significant land barriers separating our named oceans — it is all one flowing mass of salt water.

And maybe we should consider changing what we call ourselves — yes, we are Americans; but when we call ourselves Americans, we are just taking about “us” in the USA. That can be confusing since we are just one country on a continent called North America and there is another continent called South America with a lot of countries and a Central America [which isn’t a continent or a country but a part of North America without a unique identifier]. Maybe we should be calling ourselves “USers”, except that might give others a wrong impression — that we are actually “united” or that we are “users” [exploiters].

History is always written by the winners, shocker right ? ;-)

while I fully support our president, this is one thing that was useless

I read one Trumpist twit (if you’ll excuse the redundancy) who said it wasn’t Tweety Amin’s ego or xenophobia, but so that ship’s captains would know when they passed the continental shelf & were in (or out of) international waters.

Because of course a label on geopolitical map is exactly how they determine that……

The world is full of idiots, no doubt. But what makes you a winner? Your school grades?

Only took one idiot in this case to change it…..AP better get in line if they want to get in the White House. Gulf of idiocy….

It won’t last any longer than “Liberty Fries” did & like a fart in a windstorm, he who remains nameless will be gone as well.

This strip got one thing right. This country at least is full of idiots

What’s in a name? A rose by any other name still smells. And this whole comment thread smells like a bunch of people (on BOTH sides) who can’t wait to air their irrelevant and unasked-for opinion just because they don’t like someone. Yes, you have a right to speak your opinion, but always remember - Just because you CAN, doesn’t mean you SHOULD. (Oh I can’t WAIT for the sniping to begin; it’ll just prove my point.)

The Gulf of Mexico isn’t Felon Trump’s to rename. The rest of the world stills calls it the Gulf of Mexico.

This will end badly.

Or maybe it was a poke at Obama for renaming McKinley. He is very good at getting under lefty’s skin.

I read the Comics for the chuckles…and the comments for TDS…and more chuckles!

Gonna be fun watching Danae get a reality check.

It’s. A. Distraction.

Follow the money.

I remember name changes at the stroke of a pen – ‘Freedom Fries’ and ‘Democracy Sausage’ spring to mind … and history is indeed written by the winners, but the world is NOT full of idiots. Yet. Having said that, apparently the ancient Egyptians lost, or reached a stalemate, with the Hittites at the Battle of Kadesh, but recorded it as a victory, particularly on the walls of temples and other places. That ‘lie’ became a source of embarrassment when came the time for a peace treaty between the two powers.

I even thought “wtf” with changing the name of the Golf of Mexico to Golf of America, and why rename a mountain one more time? I may agree with some of the things he’s doing, but there were /are some things I’m not sure of

Sorry. The little sociopath-in-the-making is absolutely no longer funny.

The Gulf of Danae does have a nice ring to it.

Oh look. The Democrats have sent out the little internet troops today. It must be costing them a ton of money to get these many trolls working at the same time.

The president as always leads the way and encourages us to follow in his footsteps. So I will respectfully be referring to his large condo in NYC as the ‘Beaten By Biden’ Building.

It will always be “Denali” to anyone who matters, and the name will be rightfully changed back when the Trump Dynasty is just an ugly grease stain in history book,

When I moved to Arizona in 1979 I used to hike Squaw Peak everyday. Since then it has been renamed Piestewa Peak in honor of Army Spc. Lori Ann Piestewa, the first known Native American woman to die in combat in the U.S. military, and the first female soldier to be killed in action in the 2003 Iraq War.

Yup

She is going to take over the world with a horse as her running mate.
