Why is Puerto Rico still a US Territory?

[SnoKing]

Can we agree Heraldo Rivera is not a Trump fan? Can we also agree he has many relatives on the island? He's there now. Google his comments or his on air reports on the mayor of San Juan. Then come back and apologise for your uninformed outburst.

"To longtime Trump watchers, Trump’s personal reaction to Cruz was par for the course. Last weekend, he revoked an invitation for NBA star Stephen Curry to visit the White House with his team after Curry slighted him by saying he did not want the team to make the trip.

From the perch of the presidency, he has gone after morning show hosts such as Mika Brzezinski; lawmakers from his own party, such as Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain; and members of his own Cabinet — most notably, Attorney General Jeff Sessions. He has even taken on the NFL.

Trump's criticism of Cruz was in line with how he has reacted for years to individuals who have criticized him personally."

The fact that the mayor lied about what was going on and the help they were getting had nothing to do with it, right? Liars aren't to be challenged? People who fail to do their jobs then blame everyone around them for their failures aren't to be called on it? Oh yeah, that's right. You voted for Hillary. That is what you think. Have another cocktail.

Facts dont matter to snojob. BTW, I often wonder if, when snojob starts a conversation, does he start it with "once upon a time" (fairy tail) or "this is no chyt" (sea story). Or maybe just side effects of a "bad trip, man" :-laf

If we were going challenge liars, we would be challenging Trump every time he opens his mouth.

Did you take time to read the article about the long history of issues that we have saddled PR with?

So sno, where has all your contempt been for the lack of support given to PR over the last several decades?
Please don't tell me your a bandwagon type. I'd be mighty disappointed :-laf

Your absolutely right. They would be infinitely better of without US.

 

[Tractorat]

Its been thru mostly dem administrations. But, its been quite a while ago. But I think I remember that PR wanted to remain a territory rather than become a state.

Just like just about everyone we are in a forced learning mode? But you brain nick's already knew all these facts, right? You are all so bright you repeatedly vote against your own best interests!

 

[JR]

Perhaps after a few more insults you can see through your anger enough to answer my question.

Or maybe they are one and the same person? (Oops, now I'll be banished for attacking this querulous member....)

Here is a read where some praise has been offered up. Seems that mayor Carmin Yulin Cruz has yet to find her way to the coordination meetings.
