Btw, Puerto Ricans are US citizens. But don't let that stop them.

It boggles my mind how many people still don't know PR is part of the US.

The president of Puerto Rico should be removed from office! For good this time!

Thank you for your attention on this matter

He would be following Hitler in doing the only good thing either one of them ever did.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 7 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Hey - Hitler also had the autobahn built (granted, it started before him, but it was a vital part of the nazis plans, and they carried on with it) and the nazis had grand plans for infrastructure - most of which never realized because they were also fucking idiots who took on pretty much the entire rest of the world in war.

Trump hasn't even done THAT. Where are America's big infrastructure investments? The nazis started a war that fucked them so they couldn't really do anything they planned, but they at least had plans to improve one aspect of the country and its economy. Trump on the other hand is doing the whole genocide part, but you can't really find any upside in his governance.

I'm not trying to praise Hitler here either, I'm just saying... the current US president has done less for his people than Adolf Fucking Hitler did for his.

Believe it or not, Hitler also had plans for a holocaust museum.

Now that's a morbid thought

The Nazis also did modern art exhibits! To show everyone how bad this "entartete Kunst" was, but it seems they didn't know about the Streisand effect.

Krasnov could shoot the President of Puerto Rico on 5th avenue and it wouldn't lose him any votes.

you know, i'm actually fairly sure this boast of krasnov's may be true

I completely agree with the statement 100%!

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 13 points 4 days ago

Puerto Rico is only American when it's convenient to America!

Trump didn't know during his first term, acted like giving aid for the hurricane disaster was charity to a foreign country.

Trump received backlash after he claimed during a series of tweets on Tuesday morning that Puerto Rico only takes from the United States.

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 3 points 4 days ago

I mean he doesn't even want to give aid to his own country. Doesn't even seem particularly gung-ho about it when it's a state that's voting "right".

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Or the US Virgin Islands or Guam!

[–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 4 days ago

Oh, Guam, the island in danger of tipping over, according to Hank Johnson.
