Puerto Rico statehood

[golfballs]

Give up 15% of US GDP and agriculture.

I said sell. That would be factored into the sale price

Is that it?

Possibly made up by selling them water and electricity.

Should trade PR for Greenland, imo.

Mm...beaches are better in Puerto Rico. I've been to both places.

What would it take to sell California?

A dishonest real estate agent.

Show 'em the good financials. Hide the bad, taxes , out of control spending , underfunded pensions, more taxes cause I am sure they have more in the pipeline...etc.

Show the nice parts. Avoid the homeless poop on the street areas. Don't mention water shortages, lack of reservoirs...etc.

You know how they portray themselves as a utopia with the sixth largest economy in the world.

I still think we should invade Canada.

John Candy did it already.

 

[Weezer]

John Candy did it already.

A Canadian cannot actually invade Canada.

I knew to what you were referring, but John Candy was a Canadian, eh.

What exactly has PR done for us?

The aqueduct?

 

[Orangeburst]

Your notes matter. I'm against them. I'm literally anti matter.

I consider you more of a quark.

No...great skiing at Tahoe!

The US needs to cut Puerto Rico loose and give them their Independence.

Yes! Subatomic particle puns.

I'm a top quark. Will you be my bottom?

True. They’re filled with stupid people.

Not white enough, amirite?

I didn’t bring race into it, but no.

Oh yes you did. Glad you finally admitted to being a racist.

Why should a city with less than 800,000 get a Senate seat? Just lump them in with Maryland’s electorate and be done with it.

Puerto Rico as a state, I wouldn’t have a problem with.

I would based on how corrupt their politicians are.

Waiting for more FEMA aid dollars while supplies sit in warehouses untouched.

And that’s a good thing?? Then they wipe out the electoral college, there’s the the Oval Office. Then rig the system again to guarantee the House. Single party rule, just like that. Always works out well, don’t you think? Oh, let’s not forget stacking the SCOTUS with five additional judges. Then they can really knock the last remaining leg out from under the Republican Party. That should do the trick.
