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

[Nostra]

And maybe they don't.

You didn't answer my question, but then again I guess you did. You really believe that the democrats are trying to make Puerto Rico a state to achieve proper representation rather than seats in Congress, and you believe that if the Puerto Ricans were more republican than democrat then your party would still be doing the same thing. Which identifies you as a pure democrat ideologue. And either an idiot, liar, or delusional. Possibly all 3.

You left out stupid.

Like with DC statehood, the Democrats are looking to add two perma-blue senate seats.
Nothing more.
If they tell you otherwise, they're lying.

 

[Aldo Raine]

The House on Thursday voted to allow Puerto Ricans to decide the political future of the territory

Let's say it does pass the senate now, that doesn't mean PR is a state right? I think they still get to vote on that for themselves correct?

 

[Aldo Raine]

If Democrats actually do vote to recognize Puerto Rico as a state, Puerto Rico could still reject it, right?

That's what I thought!

Why would they want to be a state? They are funded by US Tax dollars, but pay no Federal income taxes.

But they don't have Senators!

Democrats are looking to allow citizens to vote for those who represent them.

Goes back to the American Revolution

Text of the bill:

https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/8393/text

Nowhere here is the option to retain the status quo.
This is -designed- to get the people of PR to choose to be a state.

More proof the objective here is for Democrats to pick up 2 perma-blue senate seats.

Good thing it needs 60 votes in the senate.

That's what I thought!

Then Democrays are wasting everyone's time...again.

 

[sartre play]

Do you think Puerto Rico should become a state?

Good question.

 

[Aldo Raine]

Then Democrays are wasting everyone's time...again.

Just because PR would want to be a state would not make them a state. We would have to except them just like they would have to except statehood so nope!

Ummm....you and Democrats need to understand PR already voted to reject statehood.

THEY DON'T WANT IT.

Oh, but in this case, they -have- to choose between statehood and independence.
The status quo is not an option.

In 2020 they voted for statehood. You are 24 years behind the times. Which is actually pretty good for a MAGAGATARD. They want to go back to the 50's. Unfortunately it is the 1850's but all good!

Try harder, fail better!!!!!
MAGA

In 2020 they voted for statehood.

In 2020, there was a referendum -- a government sponsored poll.
About half of those eligible voted, and their choice was "Statehood: yes/no?"

Gotcha, thank you for correcting me.

So PR called up the Democrats last week and asked them to make PR a state?

If you really believe that I have a bridge for sale if you're interested. The Communists pass nothing unless it benefits them. As they say, there's one of you born every minute.

Communists. Yea. You’re not nuts

 

[Nostra]

Maybe when Republicans gain control they should cut PR loose. Let them fend for themselves and stop being a drain on the American people.

Have no idea, ask PR!
