Btw, Puerto Ricans are US citizens. But don’t let that stop them.
Why are racists so dumb?
Is it a bug, or a feature?
It’s recursive.
Hahaha
The stupe-loop!
You may have cause and effect the wrong way round.
Not of it’s a feature.
Even my dumb fucking rural Australian ass knows that Puerto Rico is part of the US.
As a dum rural American that knows territorial citizenship is a thing (with wonky caveats not applicable to Puerto Rico) you’d be surprised how many Americans in general have zero clue pr is a part of the us. My last vaca there was fun but after I was back the amount of people that asked about passports was too dam high. And this is in a rather educated metro area.
I love the pattern on the right: “Despite X occurring plenty of times throughout the years on ‘my side’, this time I’m really riled up about something that’s not even true!”
He loves his country so much he wants to defend it from ignorant outsiders, but isn’t even aware of who has citizenship and won’t explain why this didn’t have any bearing on past musical performances.
Intellectual consistency isn’t their strong point.
I remember being amazed to learn Puerto Rico is part of the US… In 4th grade.
Yeah, I learned this about that age when it was announced that our state (SD) was 51st in the nation for teacher pay after PR. That’s also about the time a neighboring county had the highest suicide rate in the world. Good ol’ Midwestern values.
I am, of course, disgusted with this choice of Super Bowl halftime performer.
The obvious choice was to have Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce get married during the Super Bowl halftime, during which Taylor will not take the Kelce name, killing everyone watching over the age of 65.
Can we figure out what to make Bad Bunny do to inflict total boomercide?
Speedo.
With a Palestinian flag.
Travis takes the name Swift. Conservative men melt down so badly that one of them goes out and blows Erika Kirk’s head off.
Then we’d get “he followed Taylor Swift news, so he must have been a trans leftist!!”
Taylor, make this happen
This would be divineeee.
I am, of course, disgusted with your proposed choice of Super Bowl halftime performer.
The even more obvious choice was to have Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce enter a civil union during the Super Bowl halftime, during which Taylor will not take the Kelce name while also announcing she is 4 months pregnant and the unborn child should be referred to as “they/them”, killing nearly 40% of all viewers.
Evil doctors could use evil medbeds to change the baby’s gender in utero
I would have been delighted if this happened. Like, cackling with joy!
They are insane…
All religions are a delusional psychiatric disorder.
Disgusting that this is who superbowl picked for their halftime show… Claims to be a bunny, but turns out he’s just some human dude. Typical.
So… would you say he’s pretty bad at being a bunny? Like he’s a bad bunny?
The worst bunny I’ve ever seen!
second worst for me
🤯
He’s not even that bad, I want my money back
And have you heard him perform? His music may not be your preferred style but you’d be hard pressed to call it ‘bad’.
Generally, when it comes to genres that I dislike, I cannot tell the difference between good and bad.
That’s the only thing about him that upsets me: his music sounds nothing like his name implies.
Also can’t spell cue.
get in line
Let me see your bestest wine
At least it wasn’t “que”, which I’ve seen far too often.
Queueue
“I know how to spell queueueueueue, I just don’t know when to stop”
And it still wouldn’t make sense if he did 💀
Q?!?! Q?!?! Finally, the signal that Q-Anon has been right all along!
It’s actually impressive how insanely wrong they are.
You know what ‘citizen’ means now though.
Rhianna is from Barbados? Huh, TIL.
Hmm, this got me to look up the demonym for people from Barbados. I hoped it would be something interesting, but the official one is pretty boring: Barbadians. But, the unofficial one is a bit interesting: Bajans. I thought it would be pronounced like the Spanish “baja”, but apparently it’s “Bay - jenz”. Which is a bit cool. Not as cool as their flag, but still cool.
I’m going with Barbadasses
Yeah, same, I literally had no idea untill this post, hah!
yessss i can say i like music from barbados with confidence now, never having been to nor googled barbadosian music
Total random association + I listened to this this morning so you should too:

You are now also hopefully a fan of the godfather of afrobeat music.
hell yeah
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
Trump should shoot him tbh
He would be following Hitler in doing the only good thing either one of them ever did.
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
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%!
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.
Or the US Virgin Islands or Guam!
Oh, Guam, the island in danger of tipping over, according to Hank Johnson.
The US is trying to reject a part of their own territory as American.
Meanwhile, PRC is trying to claim territory not under the PLA’s control as Chinese.
Ironic lol
Puerto Rico should just do a Taiwan tbh. I mean if they aren’t treated like Americans, you might as well.
They receive a lot of benefits as a territory. And whether the Hispanic media portrays it or not, they are a very impoverished community. Them declaring independence is never gonna happen.
What’s the point on those “benefits” is they are very impoverished.
There’s at least two possible outcomes when someone(s) receives aid:
- They use it as a stepping stone towards becoming independent, and it’s temporary
- They feel entitled to it and become habituated towards receiving aid and it cements their dependence
Same problem with food stamps, etc. some people use it as a hand-out, some people use it as a hand-up. You can’t really help one group without helping the other, unfortunately.
Arguably we should remove the quotes so they get actual benefits. PR deserves better from us
You can see how thriving its neighbors are without receiving those “benefits”.
That’s always what’s happening when they want to use the N-word and remember they shouldn’t and then try to say it with other words.
Sometimes, the stupid, it burns.
Sadly, it burns all of us.
That’s how you know it’s working.
It’s upsetting that people can be colossally stupid and factually incorrect and face no meaningful consequences. Like, who is the OP? Why are they just walking around without a warning sign that says like “This person is stupid”?
Nature has a way of warning others, just look for a red hat or American flag
It is so wild how consistently I can know someone is an ignorant tear, scaling directly in level of ignorance proportionate to how many/how big their American flags are.
I live in the Philadelphia suburbs and it’s crazy how many times I’m behind some dickhead with a red hat and I assume it’s a MAGA hat only to find out it’s a Phillies hat. I’ve actually never once seen a MAGA hat here.
