President Donald Trump on Sunday appeared to suggest that New Mexico should be called “New America,” posting a photo of the state with the new name days after he signed an executive order to change Lake Ontario to “Lake America.”

    He always does this bizarre renaming shit for a reason. It’s never random.

    And while I’m open to hearing other reasons New Mexico in particular has raised his ire, I’m pretty sure this has to do with the Epstein files, and the New Mexico lawsuit taking place that alleges Todd Blanche’s DoJ is stonewalling NM’s attorney general from getting unredacted records that will allow New Mexico to thoroughly investigate Epstein’s ranch there, where Epstein’s acts against minors are known to have occurred.

    New Mexico isn’t backing down. At the same time, Thomas Massie is forcing a discharge petition on passing EFTA II, which specifically gives states and state attorneys general legal right to access the completely unredacted records. The walls on his sexual crimes against children are closing in.

    So he thinks this name change will shame them into submission, because it’s what would shame him. Dumb ass. Didn’t work for me; I just think he’s a freak that liked to rape and possibly kill children with his good buddy Epstein.

    That’s crazy. I mean, he’s in the trumpstein files (aka the Epstein files) more than god is in the Bible.

    Let’s not stop making a point about that. He’s a child rapist.

    I know, I know, he’s fucking with us. But I just can’t help marvel at how dumb this one is. Lake America, okay this is all America, but I guess that’s a name a lake could have, in America.

    But New America? New America is in fucking America. That would be like if New York was a small part of York! Call it New West or Taco Supreme or something, but New America is basically the stupidest thing to call a region of North America. It even shortens to NA! Jesus…

    Anyway, I know it’s meant to be stupid, I know. But it got me this time…
