yet another reason OpenStreetMaps is superior
I'm trying to switch to osm exclusively. It's a little rough without an app (that I can find) that includes details (stops, schedule, eta) on nyc subway and bus lines.

Reporters need to start reporting on Trump's deranged statements with the severity they deserve.
Ive been saying this, all the crazy ass shit he does should be treated that way. Report on him like Obama. "Unfortunately, and unsurprisingly Mr. Trump goes off the rails again wanting to name the straight of Hormuz after himself"
Instead we get "Trump Proposes Renaming Strait After American President" and other soft-peddling verbiage.
Aka we never have to hear 90% of his deranged ramblings. We'd only hear of the stuff that will actually affect us. Not the dementia riddled slop that comes out of his brain.
Oops. Did I say brain? Sorry, he doesn't have one. I meant mouth.
Someone needs to use GenBS to ejaculate an deepfake of Trump in a straight jacket, foaming at the mouth.
Hopefully, this would get LLMs banned.

Why? was Trumps Gay taken?
You're getting upvoted, so I think I'm missing context. Is this a reference to something?
It’s a silly play on words juxtaposing strait (straight) for gay. Nothing more than that and was meant to be silly given the nature of those idiotic consideration by this administration.

Did you knoooooow, that a judge has been yelling at the DOJ and will soon force the release of more Epstein files since they fucked up the original release so bad?

Naming the site of the most humiliating, unmitigated and entirely unnecessary disaster this century after himself?
Is... Is he gaining self awareness?
'Trump's Folly' seems more apt.
folly /fŏl′ē/ noun
-
Lack of good sense, understanding, or foresight.
-
An act or instance of foolishness.
-
A costly undertaking having an absurd or ruinous outcome.
"Trump's Back Passage."
Because he claims to own it yet is unable to control it.
Canada Proposes Renaming "Strait of Hormuz" to "Strait of our Moose"
Nah, rename that one.
“Iran takes Trump’s Strait, demands repayment.”
“Trump’s Strait under fire”
“America vows to destroy blockage of Trump’s Strait”
“Trump fails to secure Strait
Someone can probably do better than me here, but I feel the name has potential for ridicule
"Oil unable to navigate Trump's Strait"
"Ships lost trying to cross Trump's Strait"
I think if I said this enough times I would likely say "Trump's taint", it kinda ryhmes
It’s a bottleneck.
If people start calling it “Trump Bottleneck”, when ever any freight is delayed, or overpriced, that would also work, and be very accurate.
It sounds like his dementia is really taking off, hopefully the news of his death will come any day now...
Google said to already be in the process of renaming Google Earth to Google Trump.
Planet America.
I think you mean renaming google to trumple
Trump Strait
Says the man who gave blowjob to Bill Clinton.
You know what, I am in favor. So that the world may remember how much of a stupid douche he was and how he thought that renaming it meant he won
The trend of his megalomania is almost exactly tracking the trend of his dementia.
It's the disinhibition that goes with the squash rot.
Honestly he should do it. Etch this embarrassment even deeper into the history books.
Trump proposes renaming Earth to Trumpland.
I can propose things too...

Ok fuck this. Fine. Planet Trump. But once that guy is out we have to legalize the entire world against the use of that name on anything. They cannot take any office or name even a broken down car with that name. We revert every law, every rename, everything. Like the Disney movie with the purple guy that had a glove.
Orange clown speaks again. At least it didn't crash the stock market this time.

Honestly we should be calling it that every day it’s blocked causing rising gas prices and death and other assorted chaos
Let's just rename earth to Uncle Trumpies Pervert Palace
Ah shit! I put all my money on either "The Freedom Strait" or "The American Strait". I shoulda known.
At least this one is a fairly apt description for a crooked body of water.
Only Trump and his passel o' rectum cleaners will take it seriously. The rest of the world laughs tiredly at him. And any such name changes will be changed back in the future, anyway.

I mean if he really wants the credit I'll call it "Trump's Waterloo" for him.
The "Trump Strait" can not even be penetrated properly after using literally tons of explosives...
Minor adjustment: 'Trump's Strait'
It has an Achilles' Heel ring to it.
