Every news agency reported the truth. And don can’t handle the truth, hates the truth. The truth is our greatest weapon against him. Republicans will soon have primary opponents because they support trump.

more likely an oil slick greeted them from a blown well from decades ago, that is still leaking MCE.......or all the algae that is increasing due to the Global Warming and polluting all the Florida Beaches.........

He said it was landing in the Gulf of America and then qualified it by saying others call it the

aside from a few who side-step it by saying off the coast of Florida.

I dida search of news reports - and if they called it Gulf of something, the something was America.

it would be an uphill battle to getting it called Gulf of America

We just re-named two mountain peaks here in Colorado, one a fourteener over looking Denver, and everyone continues to call them both by their prior names.........

said the splashdown would take place in the waters off of Tallahassee. I kept expecting some reference to the “the Gulf” of …something but they never did. Just said waters off of Tallahassee several times. I wondered if they just avoided saying anything specific intentionally?

The 17-hour trip home began around 1am EST this morning. Within the hour, they're expected to splash down near Tallahassee in an area that the US Government now calls the Gulf of America, known everywhere else as the Gulf of Mexico. We're closely tracking every step of this journey and we'll bring you the reentry and the splashdown live.

I like the way he slipped that in. It could be interpreted as a subtle dig at Trump's silliness, and I wouldn't be surprised if TSF takes it that way!
