After a week of criminal corruption indictments and a bizarre leak of the Governor's inner circle private chat channel, an unprecedented collapse of the island government is unfolding at this moment.
The Puerto Rico Mayors Federation, a group that organizes the island mayors belonging to the governing New Progressive Party, has given a vote of no confidence to the government of Ricardo Rossello. Municipal mayors constitute the base of power for any island wide office holder, and this withdrawal of endorsement signifies the end of Rossello's political viability.
Rossello has fired everyone involved in the now infamous Telegram app chat that has been leaked over the past week, a chat that exposed the administration's executive core most intimate beliefs, but so far he has refused to step down from office.
We doubt he will survive the weekend in power. Since he has fired his second in command and next in line for the governorship, the Puerto Rico Secretary of State - Luis G. Rivera-Marin, it looks like the Secretary of Justice will have to take over the government.
More news as events warrant.
Nothing good is going to happen in Puerto Rico until the people go and get the Puerto Rican Politicians, present and past, and throw them in jail.
The politicians of Puerto Rico have been running a Ponzi Scheme for years.
The politicians must be held accountable.

Very stupidly, the Governor and his inner circle thought their chat was secured. It's 885 pages that were just released and being digested as I type. Check this out:

Agree. I spent a year and a half there as a Security Forces Marine on a since closed Naval Base Sabana Seca. I’m shocked I didn’t end up married at 18 100 times over. Gorgeous women, great food and scuba diving to die for.
Sevceral people, who should know, have todd me

A transcript of these texts would be helpful.

Thanks.
One snippet is as follows:
“In one exchange, Rossello refers to the former speaker of the New York City Council, Melissa Mark-Viverito, a political ally of San Juan mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz, a chief Rossello rival, as a “whore.”
In another, the governor wrote “Dear Oversight Board – Go F-— yourself,” referring to the federal panel he has clashed with over the broad financial power it wields over the U.S. territory.
Well see the usa moved,on, but PR stayed in 1898.
They’re mostly in Spanish. Feel free to dust off your HS Spanish or get to Google Translate.

Make AOC Governor!!! In exchange for trumps border wall...Pelosi would say yes in a minute.
Lol, I like the way you think ;-)
Yes. Should have done it long time ago. Trouble is though they could turn to Russia or China for assistance.
Reagan wanted Puerto Rico to become a state so it would provide early warning for any invasion coming our way......a buffer zone, if you will.
At the time he was prez, PR was not a horrible place. I went there, enjoyed San Juan and a resort on the other side of the island at Humacao.
But that was then. Now it’s dangerous and filthy.
They won’t cover it because msm can’t bring themselves to talk about dem corruption
Thank you for local info. Keep us posted. Give any additional analysis that you might have
DJT should make it a Nat’l Monument and let the Park Service run it......
