soon, very soon. I cannot WAIT to leave this jackwagon in my rear view mirror. He is the worst.

[Ouderkirk]

He may be popular in NYC, but up here in Western and Central NY he is widely hated. The problem is there are more downstaters than there are of us in upstate.

[Caipirabob]

Apparently making a play for the Puerto Rican leftists now flowing into the states. Hopefully the Puerto Rican patriots like the ones I know will keep the others at bay.

Lease the island to InGen Corporation--perhaps we would get some mega-fauna out of the deal. T-Rex got to eat!

Withold aid until statehood passes. Least they will be paying taxes.

94+ *billion*? If Cuohomo recommends it, screw that!
Puerto Rico’s leaders insulted the president and fought us every inch of the way in our efforts to help them.
Spend it on Kate’s wall! Secure our southwest border, not these ingrates.

Cuomo urges feds to pass $94B aid package for Puerto Rico

Who is this guy Cuomo anyway!!!

Why is he speaking about PR as if we had something to do with the direct hit from that hurricane to hit PR.

We have found out that PR is a third world crap hole.

[TheConservativeTejano]

It is American territory for 100+ years and everyone born there is an American citizen that is free to move anywhere in America

PR is a joke!!!

They do not even pay income taxes to the I.R.S.?

We wish we could do that but if we tried we would get arrested and do time for not paying the I.R.S.

I never knew PR was that badly mismanaged with its infrastructure. It is pathetic to say the least.

[varyouga]

I agree with all you just said. I just think it’s idiotic to imply PR is a foreign country. It’s a mismanaged semi-state with serious legal issues.

However I can say that I’ve worked and lived in PR over several years and there are countless hard working patriots fighting down there who need our help.

This is the time to get in, point out what a disaster their admin was and turn the situation around while reforming their government.

Otherwise what is your alternative? Create a border and let US citizens die?

[Jimmy Valentine]

The correct answer for Puerto Rico is to take back Base Ramey and send the 82nd Airborne down there. Put the government under military control. Send in construction battalions to coordinate infrastructure repairs with private contractors. Bond holders of Puerto Rico debt to take a 30 percent haircut with the rest of the debt paid over 40years at 2 percent tax free. Restore the tax advantages for private sector companies that Clintons recinded. That for a start. Also, arrest San Juans mayor for sedition.

Haven’t been through Buffalo since 1974 - is Chippewa Street still all bars/pimps/whores or did they clean it up?

[mewzilla]

He’s awful free with other people’so $

No wonder NYS is $4 bil in the hole, eh?

[fhayek]

Pretty cleaned up. Trendy bars now. Or it least was 5 years ago.

[TheConservativeTejano]

Partner, we are going to pour a lot of our $$$ into this failed semi-country of PR.

Our folks know what they are doing to fix PR but I do not know if they can maintain it again it they get a direct hit again.

PR has obviously been mismanaged for too long and with the idiot mayor of San Juan trying to score political points by saying pointing out that President Trump is not helping and she is spouting pure ludicrous Bravo Sierra.

I hope the good people of PR appreciate all the hard work we are doing over there right now.
