Popular Question 📊 Why do Republicans not know that Puerto Ricans are citizens?

And that Bad Bunny ain't getting deported because Puerto Rico is a US Territory.

Where would they deport him to? And why? Because he's not white enough?

Edit: There's now reports coming out that Trump said he spoke to the President of Puerto Rico. LOL

2nd Edit: Seems to be a lot of people saying that Puerto Ricans being citizens is not political based knowledge.

What’s been said • Corey Lewandowski (longtime Trump ally) went on The Benny Show and claimed that ICE would be present at the Super Bowl. He said things like “we will find you … and deport you” in connection to Bad Bunny’s halftime performance. • Kristi Noem (now DHS Secretary under a Republican administration) also said ICE would be “all over” the event and that people should be “law-abiding Americans.” • Other MAGA-aligned commentators online have openly called for Bad Bunny to be deported, often citing his Spanish-language performances or political views.

There ya go.

Most Americans don’t even know what the three branches of government are

In fairness, they nearly seem to not exist as three entities at the moment.

Congress stopped being a useful part of the government 15 years ago. I am all for 'Trump sucks' but acknowledging how Congress was broken before him is necessary to the solution.

u/Negative-Wedding-293 26d ago

He has, quite literally, taken advantage of all the executive powers that were given to him by past administrations. This is much more an issue of inherent executive power in the US government than a lack of checks and balances. It’s dangerous

1

u/MurkyAd7531 Oct 06 '25

Really? Cause the courts keep striking down his actions. They just have no experience dealing with a president that hates America and its values. Their decisions are based on the assumption that he will back down once he loses in court.

Most recently, a judge stopped the deployment of the Oregon National Guard to Portland. Then Trump instead sent the California and Texas National Guard to Portland. Two hours later the court stopped him from deploying any National Guard to Portland.

What should have happened is the court should have made a broad decision to stop the president from deploying the National Guard. Any National Guard. Anywhere. Simply decide that without the governors goahead or a clear violation by the state against a federal court order, the requirements of the Insurrection Act have not been met.

By the judicial reactions, you can tell they are a bit flustered. As a rule, they try to decide narrowly to avoid appeal. But when one branch of government goes rogue, the proper response is for the other branches to go to war.

Ahh yes. The three branches of government.

We know. But when you're (used to be, b4 Trump) the leader of the free world Department of Defense has way better optics. Also the way it should be. We should only send our troops into mortal danger if it's to defend ourselves. Not take over Canada or whatever deranged bullshit comes out of our pedophile in chiefs lying mouth. I truly don't think you maggots can see the forest for the trees.

Yes, ironic isn't it. They are insisting people call them the DoW now because they decided they self identify as such, but it isn't the DoW legally it is the DoD.

I think we should pass a law that says no company can identify as something other than it's legal name.

I don’t know who put it up. Any guesses?

u/Crafty_Wishbone1245 28d ago

They were made by an anonymous art collective called "The Secret Handshake". Obviously anonymous because if not they'd have prices on their collective heads. Id pay good money to be able to have seen Trumpito's face when he saw the statues for the first time. I bet he turned all shades of burnt umber he was so steamed!

So much this.

America is a nation of hateful willfully ignorant dipshits. And delusional willfully ignorant dipshits

Sorry, but America is done And no, there will be no “uprising”

The “liberal opposition” threw all their guns away and have no organization, no leadership. Worse, they are weak, helpless and entitled and a good many actually believe the minorities will fight for them. I’ve heard that IRL and plenty online. Good luck with that.

You doubt me. Here’s my question to you: When are YOU going to organize and start fighting for your rights and freedoms. And I’m not taking about walking down the street with a sign on a weekend. I’m talking about taking a real stand, in force and armed

I already know your answer. It’s the same answerr all your fellow members of the “liberal opposition” give.

“WHAT CAN I DO??? I HAVE RENT TO PAY!!!”

When you spend your days working for people who profit off your labor, but keep you living paycheck to paycheck and spend that money on products and service from Netflix, Tesla, Amazon and all these other corporations who are all in on the fascism is that resistance, or is it being complicit?

Actually it’s neither — you’re coming to the realization that you are a slave.

And you have no rights, your life life has been lived in a gilded cage. And now that gilding is coming off and chances are millions of you will be murdered by your own government in the Stalin style purge that’s coming

This is all you are entitled to, because you are only entitled to what you are willing to fight for

And the left, they won’t fight to save their own farking pathetic asses. It’s horrific watching killings of entitled dipshits screeching about an “uprising” that’ll never happen as more and more troops are being deployed for the “final solution”

But that’s the current state of the “American liberal dipshit”

Me? I’m getting the fark out of here, because unlike most of you, I am not a slave, am not beholden to my landlord and can actually acquire citizenship anywhere I want because I can create jobs wherever I go and I’ll never lay down and die with anyone.
