Trump20162020 Again, doesn't matter, as Schumer just last month said no to statehood for Puerto Rico statehood, calling the island corrupt. As opposed to New York and New Jersey?

“For you that makes surrendering the Senate to the leftists acceptable....”

Bzzzzz..... wrong, go to the back of the line and no soup for you.

Reality..... the Rats had plenty of time to prepare and prepare they did; country wide. For those paying attention, the groundwork was being laid during “The Rona” so losing was not an option for this time around they were playing for all the marbles. Rats, Rinos, the alphabet agencies, and the USSC dancing hand in hand across the finish line; the country be damned. They should be so proud.

So..... go blow your BS somewhere else. Cheaters gonna cheat and liars gonna lie. There will never be another “valid” election in the USA until the 2020 travesty is honestly addressed and rectified.

A place near completely dependent on DC. Surely a ward of the outlaw DC empire. What great evil it is.

Part of the story is dems cheating. Part of it is gullible voters falling for preposterous propaganda like this Hollywood actor telling GA voters to boycott.

Filibustering an enabling act may be a weak position, but (and I'm sure you will correct me if I'm wrong (: >)), unless we're ready to go to Box IV, it may be the only position we have.

Doesnt matter really. They need 60 votes. Manchin isnt going to blow up the filibuster, so I dont see how this happens.

And the reason for blocking Puerto Rico statehood would be what exactly?

We know that's the real reason but they're going to have to go on the well of the House and Senate chambers to argue against statehood, and crass political concerns won't make them look good.

We should realize that everything, every single thing that transpires was never meant to be. Trump won the election in a landslide, and I suspect a few more Senators as well.

Therefore, everything taking place is taking us down a different pathway than what Americans voted for.

The repercussions are too bizarre and dangerous to think about. 4 years. 4 years of this.

Normally, you can get thru 4 years of anybody, but this is different.

China, Iran, NOK etc. All are taking advantage of Trump out of power. So, they’re heading forward.

In summary, in a normally docile stable world, A Joe Biden?Harris ticket would not matter...

Not now. People will die all over the world because of what the democrats and selective passive Republicans DID.

I NEVER THOUGHT I’D SEE THE DAY WHEN AN ELECTION IN THE USA WAS BLATANTLY FRAUDULENT.

It isn’t important what the people of PR want, it’s what George Soros and other Dem big shots want.

Anyone bother to ask how their citizens feel about this. I’ve yet to meet a Puerto Rican who want this.

Ridiculous. You’re giving too much power over one statement made in an impulsive way. This election was the biggest fraud in history of our nation. .

Not sure how this ended up at the top of Breaking News all of a sudden, when this discussion started two days ago.

I run the Puerto Rico ping list. Just curious as to how this happened.

Thanks.
