I'm sick. Just sick. That aside, this has made me do a little research into the history of the Gulf of Mexico. I find it quite interesting.

I just reported a problem with "Gulf of America" to Apple. It wouldn't let me choose "name is wrong" as an option — the "submit" button wasn't active — so I just chose "something else" and told them the name is wrong.
PS: I don't like the framing here. We can attack Trump's words and deeds without resorting to stuff like "shits himself."
There was a cover-up attempt
How high did it go?
Did it reach all the way to Claudia Sheinbaum?
I've a hunch she is not part of it, however her response could change that
It is needless to say, but PEMEX and Navy heads must roll

The 'God Squad' voted to exempt all oil & gas drilling in the Gulf of Mexico...
Which environmentalists fear could mean extinction for the critically endangered Rice’s whale, which has just 50 whales left ONLY in the #GulfOfMexico 👀
The "God Squad' is a panel of 6 high-ranking federal officials on the Endangered Species Committee that decides exemptions in the Endangered Species Act (thus determining if a species survives or goes extinct).

For the fourth time in its history, the Endangered Species Committee met Tuesday to decide whether to grant an exception to federal animal protections. It chose to allow oil and gas drilling in the Gulf of Mexico to operate without regard for critical species, such as the Rice’s whale.
U.S. exempts oil industry from protecting Gulf animals, for 'national security'
"To be secure as a nation we need a steady, affordable supply of our own energy," Hegseth told the six members of the committee, nicknamed the God Squad for its ability to make life or death decisions about endangered animals. "This is not just about gas prices; it's about our ability to power our military and protect our nation."
More like 'Satan's Supporters'?

Trump's team just removed ALL endangered species protections in the Gulf of Mexico to expand oil and gas drilling under “national defense.”
Earlier this month: a 373-mile oil spill contaminated multiple species and seven protected reserves in the Gulf.
Today has been far too much death and destruction.
