Same smh my head
I don't speak Spanish, but based on the absolutely tiny bit I do know, would this mean quesadillas would become "little cheesies"?
Two spicy little donkeys with everything, three light meals for the boys, and a little cheesy for my wife, please.
Cancel that cheesy, she wants a little sash

You laugh but the Quebec government attempted to fine an Italian restaurant for having the names of their dishes in Italian, many of which have no French name.
The Canadian government is pretty weird about that aren't they?
Quebec government, specifically. Other provinces only require government services to be provided in both French and English but private businesses can mostly do what they want. Quebec requires private business to be conducted in French unless the customer requests service in a different language. Any non-French text or speech made to a customer before they request it can be seen as a violation. They can be a little overzealous at times.
What's the menu like for Indian restaurants in Quebec? Are there French names for Biryani, Paratha, Paneer etc?
At a certain point I have to assume they just slap a bunch of "le"s on and call it a day

Damn, I've heard jokes about quebecios being snobby with their French but that seems excessive.
Which makes it all the more hilarious that the French people I know have joked about Quebec speaking "garbage French"
There are certainly stories of overzealous enforcement, but the context of Loi 101 and its amendments is worth considering.
Québecois is really interesting. It has a lot of old, outdated French in it due to the colonial connection with France being severed hundreds of years ago, where it evolved distinctly and the locals made different decisions on what to change and how to adapt to new concepts.
One could argue the French government has been obsessive about policing language much longer with the académie française.

The U.S. government announces that four more words will no longer be permitted for use within scientific documents: Taco, Burrito, Quesadilla and Fajita.
I feel like this is fake.
Two reasons. I was unable to find a video clip of this, and it's not nearly racist enough for these shit-hawks.
If some has the clip, please share.
Edit: 3 reason, we're also on a shitpost channel.
It's definitely fake. The screenshot is from around the 4:37 timestamp.

At this point, I'm not completely sure that this administration has really only appointed the most qualified people for those cabinet positions.
Kakistocracy is the word

Taco Bell was a cynical invention by Alexander Graham Bell to sell more Bell peppers.
In " Mexican "...

"Mexican"
¡ES ESPAÑOL, MAMAGÜEVO!
How do you say San Diego in Mexican?
As a San Diegan with a lot of Mexican friends, I think it's "El Pendejo Americano". They always yell that when I come over.

He [Tom Homan] was appointed by President Barack Obama as Immigration and Customs Enforcement's executive associate director of enforcement and removal operations in 2013.
In 2015, Obama awarded him a Presidential Rank Award as a Distinguished Executive. A Washington Post article at the time stated, "Thomas Homan deports people. And he's really good at it."
when people look back, they never voted for Nixon, and Obama was a sainted figure, you should not be downvoted for pointing out the truth...Obama was a politiician who sold progressive and served middle-of-the-road...
And yet, Obama was still the most progressive president of my lifetime. Which tells quite the story about American politics.

mt dew Baltimore blast
Baltimore blast sounds like a designer version of naloxone
considering that english already has a bunch of loan words from spanish that are considered "english", they same should probably apply to taco bell menu.. So are they really "spanish" words in that sense?
Didn't you hear him, they're not Spanish words at all, they're MEXICAN words
/s obviously, screw this guy

I know I'm not supposed to use the R word as it's derogatory but for fucks sake, it's literally the only word that describes this
*Edit: spelling
Republican?
Yup, can't call them that anymore. Now they are MAGA Nazis.
Associating this man is an insult to the mentally disabled, actually.

You must be offended that Starbucks has Italian named drinks too.
FYI: No one who has ever had a “caramel macchiato” at Starbucks has ever had a macchiato at Starbucks.
