Democrats try to ram through Puerto Rican Statehood bill before Jan 3rd

Will Puerto Rico be the next US state? Independence bill goes to US House vote today - as Dem representatives 'look forward to making history'

A bill to vote on Puerto Rico's status within the United States is headed to the house for a vote after being approved by a House committee on Wednesday.

The Puerto Rico Status Act will determine whether the island becomes a state, and independent nation, or a sovereignty associated with the US

Puerto Ricans could move a step closer to a referendum on whether the island should become a U.S. state when the House of Representatives votes Thursday on a bill outlining the process.



A House committee approved the Puerto Rico Status Act on Wednesday, paving the way for the full House vote. The bill was cosponsored by Representative Nydia Velazquez, a Democrat from New York.
The bill was also lead by Rep. Steny Hoyer, a Democrat from Maryland.

If the bill passes the House, it will need 60 votes in the closely divided Senate and Democratic President Joe Biden's signature to become law.

No problem, we will just divide a red state up into four states.....Six new GOP Senators.

Democrat's idea of "making history" is doing stupid shit that's so stupid, nobody thought of it before. If they came up with an ignorant idea like putting mustard on pancakes, and the other Democrats would clap like trained seals and do the same thing.

 

[JWBooth]

without regard for what the Puerto Ricans think.

I can't wait for the hilarity when those Puerto-Rican nationalists start bombing shit again.

Democrats don't give a damn what Pueto Ricans want.

Puerto Ricans have already voted to reject becoming a state.

Another hare-brained idea from the donkey party.

Maybe they'll try to give Ukraine statehood next.

They just want the senate votes.. that's it. They seek to change the rules to make things easier for them. It would be entertaining to hear modern leftists justify why it's necessary without simply admitting they want backdoor Senate votes instead of having to earn them the old-fashioned way.. by appealing to the public.

Will Dems in congress try to FAKE a Puerto Rican accent for the cameras?

 

[pknopp]

There is a zero chance of it passing so its a complete waste of time. One would think there would be better ways to spend their time.

The evil that men do.

AOC already has an advantage over the rest of them. Elizabeth Warren will probably change her identification to Puerto Rican and struggle with the accent for awhile, but AOC will give her some pointers on the proper pronunciations.

Never going to pass in the Senate. Repubs don't want to do anything to disrupt the disproportionate representation of rural conservatives.

Tens of billions of dollars and billions more has sent there with massive corruption. Trump throwing any product to people there was him telling you and others what is going on. He is crude. He speaks the truth in welfare demands. And it sucks to know the truth.

How does this help Americans struggling to pay sky high prices due to Bidenflation?
