Congress is never going to allow PR to be a state.

Never.

How about saying no and making Alaska and Hawaii get the fuck out? They aren't even connected to us.

Russia would love to buy Alaska back.

No need to buy. Trump will just give it to him.

Free, take it. We're going to be Russian soon anyway. I met some nice Russians today at a neighbor's son's graduation party. I'm not really outgoing or I'd have loved to become actual friends with them. They lived in Miami for a bit and Utah.

They love Henderson NV because nobody gives a shit where they are from. This is truly the most progressive city on the west coast. If you work, you're accepted here.

Everything's better with gravy on it.

Especially fish.

I think rather than letting them be a new state, we should keep the number of states at 50 (it's a nice round number).

Instead, let's merge PR with an existing state. The obvious choice is Wyoming.

I don't recall ever having fish with gravy. Ever. Even sounds odd.

Try it the next time you hit up a good casino buffet.

You mean fried fish? Friend sponge with gravy would be good in a doritos sort of way.

Gravy is its own food group on the food pyramid. Pretty much everything else is just an applicator for the gravy.

That's true, like the momma joke where she fell and broke her leg and gravy poured out. Not a quesadilla, or just cheese but gravy.

 

[Further]

It's just good business to let PR in. Huge increase in flag production and all new "50 nifty united states" song.

 

[PDXFonz]

I can see the headline now...

"Sorry Chico, no statesmanship for Peurto Rico"

 

[rasheedfan2005]

Lose the switchblade and get you a desert eagle, esse!

 

[Chris Craig]

Come on, it can be the Hawaii of the east coast

 

[Denny Crane]

Let them in or let them go.

It's rather straightforward.

 

[Chris Craig]

Watch Congress does it just to piss off the 77% who boycotted the vote. If you think about it, it's the perfect distraction for the political warfare that's going on.

 

[tlongII]

I say let them in. Puerto Rican girls are hot.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Sounds good to me!

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Let them become a state right before global warming swallows the whole place?

Seems like bad timing.

Wait so your admitting global warming exists

Didn't say man made did I?

Didn't say I didn't think we contribute to it either.

Didn't say a lot of stuff.

 

[Chris Craig]

Plus it's more electoral votes for the dems

 

[DaLincolnJones]

hmm I believe that US Territories have electoral representation

Im down. I could be the resident of a winter wonderland and a tropical paradise simultaneously. I could get a puerto rican fishing license on the cheap.

Yes. Yes, they are...

 

[stampedehero]

No Way. I have been there and their government sucks Federal money like a fresh bag vacuum cleaner. The cops all have new trucks, fancy uniforms, shiny weapons and do nothing too. Their roads Suck. We connect to them and its like having your mother in law for the rest of your life.

Lets merge NJ. North Jersey is a PR paradise. New Brunswick, Jersey City, Patterson, West New York, Orange, Perth Amboy for example.....
