MEXICO, NY — The town of Mexico, NY announced Tuesday it would change its name to Epstein List to avoid being targeted by President Donald Trump’s reported push to rename New Mexico to New America.
“We figured if we changed our name to something he absolutely doesn’t want to talk about, we might fly under the radar,” said town supervisor Mark Henderson.
At an emergency town meeting, residents considered alternatives including Little Saint James II, Saladtown, and Shmexico before settling on Epstein List.
“If Trump wants to rename every place with Mexico in it, or anything vaguely Canadian, we figured we’d better get ahead of him,” said one longtime resident. “The high school is already on board and changed its team name to the Victims. Should make for some interesting merch.”
Name it grandma browns beans
Absolutely not true there’s no one in the town of Mexico that would want their Town name that this is trolling nonsense
Funny, almost, how you don’t want to talk about the list. Proves them right.
Yeah, I can’t imagine the people of Oswego County having the sense of humor required to actually pull this off.
My son lives in Oswego. He’d vote for this in a heartbeat!
Did you see way up at the top where it says Rochester’s #1 Source of Fake News?
Does satire always escape you?
People really do not understand satire. I am receiving phone calls about this today at the Town Hall. Lord, beer me strength.

Not sure if the “beer me strength” was a typo but we’re happy to send you beer for all the headache we’ve created for you at Epstein List Town Hall
Guinness, please.
I… can’t even tell if you’re kidding or not..
Too bad it’s satire. It’s a brilliant idea. New Mexico, take note!
