Things are so upside down crazy right now, I could see some idiot making the argument that adding another star to our flag would cost millions if PR became a state.

If Puerto Rico were to become a state, to not change the flag would be a…PR nightmare!

I’d actually blame the ignorance on Puerto Rican citizenship on American education. I don’t remember ever being told in school that Puerto Ricans are citizens.

Just Google him. It will take you several days to read through all the awful shit he’s said over the years.

We’ve had lots of mini-Trumps running all over the country for years and nobody paid them much attention because they were such obvious incompetent, sociopathic nutcases. Now we’ve got one in the Senate as well as the White House (not to mention governor of Maine). What’s Charlie Manson up to these days?

Aside from getting people’s hopes up he was near death earlier this year, not a lot.

Just looked him up. Yikes, forgot he had that alt-right tattoo on his face. Looks like he’s a contender for Special Counsel after Mueller gets fired.

Making Puerto Rico into a state was in the 2016 GOP platform.
The question is, besides the one 2012 vote where Puerto Rican’s said they aren’t satisfied with their current govt enough? The “stay territory” party still has the majority in their legislature.
Another problem is they don’t speak English. In that way it’s hard to see how they can effectively merge as a state.

Also fifty states is the perfect number. But this can be solved by firing up the Texas sucessionist movement again!

To some degree, sure. You don’t hear so much rumbling anymore from the people who were always on about Obama using HAARP to control the weather, either.

But I absolutely believe you’ll see this in the 2018 election: “Look at that out-of-control unresponsive federal government full of incompetent, corrupt politicians – that’s why you should vote Republican in 2018! Benghazi!”

Control the weather? Did Cobra build another Weather Dominator? And does that make Obama Cobra Commander? 😉

I’m afraid it’s a real conspiracy theory, although it probably did crib heavily from GI Joe. Luckily you can’t tie everything to GI Joe. Just try to link GI Joe to the news that Trump isn’t showing any concern at all about the Russian military vandalizing the tombs of Napoleon, Caesar, Hannibal, and Attila the Hun. Can’t be done.

Manson was a LEFTY druggy hippie. He put that EXTREME LEFTIST tattoo on his forehead to continue to attract attention from the sh@#$ who control the media. The fascists and National SOCIALISTS called themselves socialists and called each other “comrade” with perfect sincerity.If you strip away the national/racial aspects and replace it with a little internationalist rhetoric, it’s very difficult to distinguish the National Socialist program from the other “progressive” left evolutionary statist slow-go destructions of all humanity. Fascism, nationalist or internationalist, is the right-wing of the extreme left. Left-Zionists are VERY MUCH fascists. They just spout some inclusive rhetoric to cover it. The globalist cabal is fascist-LEFTIST on it’s way to full-blown Orwellian totalitarianism.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2017/09/29/trump-to-decide-friday-night-whether-to-fire-hhs-secretary-price/

Tom Price, President Trump’s embattled health and human services secretary, resigned Friday amid sharp criticism of his extensive use of taxpayer-funded charter flights, the White House said.

The announcement came shortly after Trump told reporters he considered Price a “fine man” but that he “didn’t like the optics” and planned to make a decision by the end of the day.

“I’m not happy, I can tell you that. I’m not happy,” Trump said as prepared to leave the White House en route to his private golf club in Bedminster, N.J.

In a statement, the White House said Trump intends to designate Don J. Wright as acting secretary. Wright currently serves as the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Health and Director of the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion.

Price said Thursday that he would reimburse the government for a fraction of the costs of his flights on charter planes in recent months.

A Health and Human Services official said Thursday that Price would write a check for $51,887.31, which appears to cover the cost of his seat on chartered flights but not those of his staffers.

Politico, which first reported on Price’s repeated use of chartered jets, has estimated the total expense of the taxpayer-funded trips exceeded $400,000 — and it reported early Thursday evening that his White House-approved flights on military planes to Africa, Europe and Asia cost more than $500,000.

Besides the charter flight issue, Trump has also directed some of his frustration at Price over the inability of Republicans in Congress to pass a health-care-reform bill.

During a speech in July to a gathering of Boy Scouts, Trump said — jokingly at the time — that Price could lose his job if a bill didn’t pass.

“He better get the votes,” Trump said. “Otherwise I will say, Tom, you’re fired.”
