Representation in congress might help with this, if they had it

We did try that. There was still enough uninvestigated cheating to give "I'll Teach My Kids To Build A Wall" DeSantis and Skeletor Scott the governorship and junior senator's seat.

We're going to need some help. Statehood, maybe.

We were just talking about that.

Still has to get past the Senate.

Which is why some of us were screaming about a (D) Senatorial majority back in November and the grounds to push for it in TX, FL, MO, and IN, just for *starters* ... but nobody with the authority to DO anything about it wanted to hear it.

Fuck all the insecure Trump supporters (and the few assholes off to the side) who are okay with this. And no, not necessarily with votes.

Once again I will repeat my offer: hey, Puerto Rico, why not ditch the US and become a Canadian province? You'd get full representation, all sorts of 'have-not province' aid from Ottawa, and a HUGE influx of Canadian tourists who'd love to go somewhere warm without worrying about the exchange rate or passports. Play your cards right and some day Spanish could become our third official language. Oh, and you can keep your flag too. We won't insist on your changing the star to a leaf.

It's been evil for a lil while, it's just way more noticeable now.

We need to start a rumour that PR is the REAL Holy Land.

Might as well, you lost the War on Drugs ages ago.

Since when is that an improvement?

Maybe if they were allowed to vote the gummint would start caring.

Ew, no thanks. You go right ahead, though, if that's your idea of a good time.

When Twitler's assets are liquidated, they should all go to Puerto Rico.
