  • That is not really accurate. The reason it has not become a state has everything to do with Congress. You can check out the Wikipedia page on it, I know I just did.

    I found this tidbit.

    “According to Christina D. Ponsa-Kraus, professor of legal history at Columbia Law School, some American legislators feared that racial mixing would occur among white Americans in the contiguous United States and non-white Puerto Ricans if Puerto Rico were admitted as a state. Puerto Ricans were restricted to limited self-governance—under a U.S.-appointed governor—and did not have U.S. citizenship.”

    So perhaps racism is really the deciding factor. It also played heavily into why the US did not take over Mexico for fear of blood mingling.

    Perhaps those that oppose statehood have good reason though. Hard to join a country that seems to hate you





  • Woah, so let’s just assume what she said is true. So in your mom’s world the only way for a women to get to that level is to sleep her way to the top. That is pretty fucked up.

    What is even more fucked up is living in that world she blames the women for it!? I can’t even.

    Even a precursory look at her record would show that is not even remotely true, but I digress. After all, we have a first lady (of the night) right now that actually did sleep her way to the top.

    So I guess she has some reason to believe it happens. I just don’t understand the hate. It is okay for this women to do it but not her, even if that is not what she did.

    Perhaps the root of it is your mother is just racist. I think this really hits home for me as well. Growing up I believed my mother loved everyone being a self-proclaimed Jesus freak. Now that she is older she suddenly hates gays and loves Trump. It is hard to reconcile.







  • Trump fomented anti-muslim sentiment and literally passed a travel ban against Muslim countries.

    The RNC completely rolled over for Trump in ways far worse than the DNC snubbing Berny.

    Harris is not pro-genocide no matter how many times you say it. You make it out like decades of gloves on diplomacy with Israel is suddenly her fault.

    Trump is open to letting Israel do whatever it wants and while in office stroked tensions between Israel and Palestine several times.

    To blow off the fact that she would be the first woman president and to trivialize her to a token representative speaks a lot about your mindset.

    If Jill Stein endorses Harris knowing she is the only remotely pro-climate candidate that could win then perhaps she isn’t the piece of shit everyone says she is. I won’t hold my breath waiting.

    One side is climate change denialists and the other isn’t. Two sides of the same coin right?


  • That is a lot of mental gymnastics even for Shapiro.

    When Trump says he is going to withdraw from NATO it isn’t 4d chess he is playing. He is not a mastermind of anything. Rather he says and does what he is told to by his handlers.

    He is not a businessman in any respect unless you mean a failed businessman whose image was rehabilitated by a reality TV show called the Apprentice.

    If he had never touched his daddies money and just left it invested he would be several times wealthier than he is now.

    He is perhaps the perfect person to destroy the presidency though which he has done a decent job at. You must understand the real goal of the conservatives is to prove our government is failing by making it fail.
