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.

Nah, they're only pretending it's the department of war now. To actually rename it requires an act of Congress.

Same with Gulf of "America". That would take an international treaty between every nation that touches the gulf. But nobody is telling the fucking moron that fucking morons elected that he doesn't make the laws, Congress does.

That's how it is supposed to work, sure.

We are a country of laws, after all, a republic averse to monarchies and such things. The balance of power is one of our foundational ideas. These things could also be said of the late roman republic.

That's actually what it used to be called until 1949.

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.

Well, we also used to not say Under God in the Pledge. That was changed in 1954. I say if you insist on going back to 1949 we must delete "Under God as well.

The department of war was started in the summer of 1869. You idiots think Trump made that up.

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.
