Anarchy in Puerto Rico

[Thermodolia]

I will gladly pay them a lump sum to the tune of tens of billions if it means they become independent.

Same thing. Also East Samoa and Virgin Islands.

Fuck no. The US isn’t letting any territory leave! If anything we should be adding all of north Mexico and most of Canada

Puerto Rico can not be fixed. When you look at their genetics you know that it can't.

Can you cite any genetic research showing that mestizo people are incapable of fixing corruption and instability issues within their nation? Until then, I think your claims are unsubstantiated.

Puerto Rican governor Ricardo Rosello has been dealing with tension on the hoefront this week in Puerto Rico after secretly leaked texts revealed the governor's involvement in manipulation of public narratives on relief efforts during hurricane Maria (which were severely lacking), attempts to discredit negative coverage, homophobic and misogynist slurs against opponents and support for violence against his rivals including the mayor of San Juan. Angry demonstrators took to the streets last night in the capital to voice their outrage and while the protest started out peaceful, it descended into chaos later in the night with protesters throwing rocks and bottles and erecting burning barricades while police fired tear gas and pepper spray to disperse demonstrators. Despite the leaks and widespread calls for governor Rosello to resign, Rosello has refused to step down and seeks to run for re-election next year, his ambivalence to the demonstrators only further fueling the fire.

So what are your opinions on the developing unrest and controversy in Puerto Rico? Should Rosello resign from his post and let someone else take his place? Is corruption a major problem on the island? How can we fix the government of the territory so it better serves the people it's supposed to represent?

I think progressivism is to blame, as it leads to chaos. Somebody (preferably a conservative) should take his place, and fix the issue. Then again, I wish that Hurricane Maria fixed the problem of Puerto Rico progressivism by sending a message to the Puerto Rico citizens: change your ways and stop this SJW behavior or else the great moderators in the sky will use the next Hurricane to ban you.

Are you fucking kidding me? You know what would have helped? Trump not fucking over US citizens because they look different! He should have sent federal disaster aid immediately instead of dragging his feet

Wtf does "SJW behavior" have to do with corruption?

Then why don't you explain it to us? I'll believe in what you've said so long as it's actually true and credibly backed up.

I think Puerto Rico needs to be kicked out of the US. Just give them their independence so that we don't have to deal with them.

I will gladly pay them a lump sum to the tune of tens of billions if it means they become independent.

they have sort of a hurricane problem but okay

You can't make a claim and back it up by saying, "Google it." Not how it works.

[Novus America]

Or ya know we could grant them statehood instead of the quasi-independence they have now

I am cool with that if they could have a clean vote for it.
Regardless there has to be a massive federal clampdown on corruption.

oooooooo.

Sounds like SOMEONE (which is to say, you) doesn't know how Puerto Rican politics wooooooooork!

The New Progressive Party is actually the conservative party of Puerto Rico. They're pro-life, pro-austerity, etc. etc., and they maintain a Republican cadet party for wannabe Puerto Rican Republicans.

They're called the New Progressive Party because they believe in the progress that statehood can bring to Puerto Rico.

But if you knew anything about politics in general, and not just about Puerto Rican politics, you would also know some other basic things:

1.) Political party names are just names, they don't always indicate the party's purpose.
2.) Corruption has nothing to do with "SJW" anything
3.) Partisan politics are to blame here. Partisan politics you're advocating for. Conservatives and liberals are both benefiting from the plunder of the island, at least on the island, maintaining corporate interests and preventing the statehood of the people.

I agree. I think that bringing them closer in will help with that clampdown

Can you cite any genetic research showing the mestizo people are incapable of fixing corruption and instability issues within their nation? Until then, I think your claims are unsubstantiated.

Brown people icky.

Yes. I would like to see the so called “corruption gene”.
Corruption is cultural and institutional, not at all genetic.

OH! What we SHOULD do is change Puerto Rico's leader to a national populist, who will be able to fix this corruption. Trust me, Merkel is WAY more corrupt than Orban.

If god is sending hurricanes to teach people a lesson than that’s one fucked up deity and shouldn’t be worshiped at all

Then again, I sometimes pray to storms. That may seem like I'm insane, but I'm not. For example, I pray to the storms to bring back TV-14 WWE.

Good luck getting Trump to take responsibility for past U.S. mistakes.

Not to mention, it would also mean that Puerto Rico would be protected by Federal law, which means that all the pro-corporate bullshit laws would have to be revised.

I think the Republicans keep hoping Puerto Rico will go independent so they can let the United Nations deal with it.

The Puerto Rican people, IMO, shouldn't let them off that easy.

It would. The fact they do not pay federal income tax is an issue. Best way to get a federal arrest on corruption is via tax evasion.
