#1 Tell me again please, how many hundreds of millions in aid have US taxpayer and stateside philanthropic organizations provided these people ?

#2 Let's sell them to the Russians or the Chinese. I'd like to see what would happen if they threatened a "commissar" with violence.

#3 Great. Threats of violence against the president. Send the secret service and lock her corrupt ass up.

#4 Graft! When do we want it! Now!

That is what has been and now hurting hurricane relief. 'Cooperation' means feather bedding, nepotism, and bribery. Is so ingrained in the culture, you either destroy it or leave it to fend for itself.

#6 No surprises here, Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rosselló. Rossello identifies as a Progressive and member of the Democrat Party. Consider the source.

#7 Maybe he takes a girly swing, then Trump knocks him down, kneels on his back and gives him a sriracha enema...

#9 You mean, Puerto Rico's feud with the US.

"Unless he gives us all the money we want, I will punch him in the mouth."

Little scarface wannabe.

Serious question - what is Puerto Rico to the US, other than a hole in the boat which gets plugged every couple years by rolls of $100s? Sure, people are nice, food is great, but this, this is a neighbor in a run down house, crap all over the lawn, generally does not maintain their property throwing a party and coming over to my house like, "Hey, we ran out of snacks, so I need five bags of chips from you or I'll pop you in the mouth."

#11 It's amazing how many valuable pieces of real estate are occupied by useless mouths.

Cali, Turkey, PR...

#13 I live in California, Charger, want to meet me for my opinion of you? I'd be happy to kinetically explain?
