Why are you shedding crocodile tears for Skynet?

So now I'm hearing this admin is even toying with the idea of renaming
the state of New Mexico.

To what, I wonder.  Well, guess horse shit like this is easier than
winning the world's stupidest war in Iran, which clearly this team is
unable to do.

"No, Trump cannot officially rename New Mexico; such a change would
require significant legal and constitutional processes that are
unlikely to succeed. His recent suggestion to rename it "New America"
is more of a personal opinion than an actionable proposal"

Well, I live here and that would be shameful to me, but i've got to
admit it'd be pretty fuckin hilarious.

PS "New America" is the stupidest name for a state ever.  Are they out
of cleverness?  Seems like this admin is out of ammo. 

BTW I've got riends from there who report horror stories of being told
by other Americans their English is pretty good for being from a
Spanish-speaking country, stupid shit like that.  "We'll transfer you
to the international sales department" / "No you idiot, it's part of
America."
