Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss
Nothing changes, except the name plate on the governor’s office door.

Ok you don’t like the folks in Puerto Rico. I get that. Beautiful beaches, warm water, great resorts. So hating all this, then saddling those folks with AOC. You are one mean hombre. /s

Cut this island loose. There’s no need for territories anymore. Let them be their own nation.

(And you’re a hockey fan!) What gets to me is you ain’t rich in Puerto Rico you live in squalor while the fat cats skim the gravy. Those poor folks do the work and get screwed badly. I’m not saying it’s all courrpt, but it looks close.
