Just say NO

God help us if this happens. If they add Puerto Rico as a state, hopefully Texas or South Carolina or someplace conservative can secede.

I see you can already buy 51-star flags on Amazon.

I wonder how 51 stars would look arranged into a hammer and sickle?

[Fhios]

Just incorporate it into Florida. I don’t want it to be a state either

[anton]

Incorporate it into Cuba.

[Right Wing Assault]

Why not just give Puerto Rico independence?

Cuba, Russia, China, muslims.

Pander, pander, pander

I say we should help PR become an independent country.

The LAST thing we need is a debt-riddles state.

So apparently, some in Congress is wanting another Democrat state in the election process. Not a good thing and probably not going to happen.

Democrats need a few more million reliable voters, as the Mexican border is closing.

The average latino seems to love socialism, and accept state authority, corruption and control as a God-given fact of life.

Yes. Let’s hand the Demoncrats two more senators and however many EVs.

Puerto Rico sits astride an international crossroads. Under the proper leadership it could be the Singapore of the Americas.

Good grief no.

[gdzla]

Good idea. Let's shackle ourselves to a corpse.

[A_perfect_lady]

Yeah, I don’t want to make all new American flags. LOL.
