  1. Just like in 2016...only Bernie can beat Trump. But the DNC doesn't care about that.

  2. Military Industrial Complex doing everything possible to keep the war alive.

  3. So happy for Argentina. Hopefully they return to the position of being one of the wealthiest countries in the world

  4. Latinx is the stupidest term I've ever seen created during my lifetime.

  5. Amy getting schooled. She has reported fake collusion stories also.

  6. Why Why Why.... Please stop using Latinx. It's ridiculous.

  7. I don't understand why the Dems manufactured Russiagate ....when it is so simple to find Trump connections with the Jewish mafia , Russian mafia, and Italian Mafia from the NYC/NJ area. I'm from NYC and its common knowledge that certain types of businesses have to get through one of the above mentioned groups somehow.

  8. The massive screwup of the WHO with Covid-19 will permanently make them unreliable in the eyes of society.

  9. I live in Wyoming but have a house in Batangas Philippines. Philippines had covid under control, but when all the cruise workers and Middle East workers returned home to the Philippines a few weeks ago....they spread the virus nationwide.

  10.  @holdon4992  No. The voting that has ever taken place is symbolic, and has never been a true representation of the electorate. And even if 100% of the people in Puerto Rico vote for 1 option, the vote is still 100% meaningless, since it is only up to US Congress to decide.

  11.  @ericquiabazza2608  Tax haven for US Corporations

  12. The 13 trolls had no impact in the outcome of the elections. MSNBC and cbs actually did help Trump with $6 billion of free airtime.

  13. I read the thumbnail and was triggered....lol Came in to leave a comment about it....and was surprised to see I wasn't alone. This needs to stop.

  14. But that was Trump's doing. Biden is delaying the already approved date.

  15.  @arighteousname5882  The script of bringing the Afghan President to beg for help.......seen before. Warhawks will use this to push for eternal occupation. Taliban was there before....and after 20 years.....still there.

  16. It is very mild. People are just weaker.

  17. WHO doesn’t manufacture it. They just play along. The covid one 100% proven to originate from the China lab, funded by the US. All official documentation publicly available.

  18.  @luperamos7307  It was a Coup. The USA formally apologized for the Coup in 1992.

  19. Nikola Demitri If the corporate Dems would’ve just accepted defeat.....the mid terms could’ve been great in recouping some power ....instead they have wasted over a year on this....and making Trump look even better. It’s unbelievable. It’s like they are trying very hard to keep losing .

  20. In 10 years we will not have any corporations left. Half of the country will boicot lefty corporations and the other half will boicot righty corporations.

  21. The Cubans in FL have PTSD, and it doesn't allow them to see that the Castro dictatorship is not the only socialist experience in existence.

  22.  @michaelsouza6987  If PR were a State, it would have 4-5 House Representatives, and 2 Senators. Currently as a Colony, it has 1 non-voting Representative in the House.

  23. Latinx is not a thing. Stop using that nonsense word

  24. Tulsi is the best candidate for the position. Dems are just butthurt.

  25. Nope. It was the UK.....and publicly known since before Nov 2016. I remember when the news reported that Jared had hired Cambridge.....which had just done their work in the Brexit vote.

  26.  @luperamos7307  Hawaii is a State because before 1898, every Territory conquered by the US was automatically designated as “Incorporated Territory of the US”. This designation GUARANTEED Statehood. In 1901 (Insular Cases), Congress and SCOTUS ruled that the newly acquired Territories from Spain, would NOT be Incorporated, to deny 100% a path to Statehood. The new designation created was “Unincorporated Territory of the US”. This ruling is the law of the Land today, and has never been challenged. Justice Roberts mentioned a few months ago that he is willing to completely overturn that 1901 ruling. But nobody has brought it up to SCOTUS.
    3
  27. Yep....this was already known even before the election and nobody cared. Jared Kushner hired Cambridge Analytica in 2016. Democracy Now wasted 2 years parroting Russiagate.

  28. Amy forgot to mention that Ajit Pai was put there by Obama.

  29.  @greymann  The US Constitution is stopping them. Only Congress has the authority to change the Status of PR. Doesn’t even require any voting in PR.
    3
  30.  @greymann  Negative. It is explicitly stated on the Territorial Clause of the US Constitution that only the US Congress , with a simple majority vote, has the granted power to change the status of an Unincorporated Territory. It also states that consulting the inhabitants of such territories is NOT required. So even if all 3 million people in PR, including newborns, all vote for 1 status option, it is still a null vote.

  31. Numbers are 4 times lower than US numbers.

  32. Very smart Germany. Not getting involved with US war games.
    3
  33. Did the DNC return the Weinstein donations?
    3
  34.  @greymann  Small correction. PR pays almost zero Federal Income Tax. All other Federal taxes are paid at the same rate as the 50 States, and a few at a higher rate than 48 States (Jones Act).

  35. Huertas did not answer one single question. I was waiting and waiting for substance. Glad her connection was cut off.

  36. Amy herself parroted Russiagate for 2 years and now she acts like she never did. What a joker.
    2
  37. FT LOG Back then the Chinese and USSR were defending communism . Today there is no USSR and China is in a capitalism experiment . A unified Korea under US pressure would put the US on the China and Rusia border. A unified Korea under with no US troops in the peninsula would be acceptable to the region. I lived in S.Korea

  38. Using Latinx is also a crime

  39. Saving on taxes goes down the drain when you consider energy costs and cost of living. Sales tax is 11.5% Don’t understand where the crypto guys see the benefits. Energy costs are second highest in the nation, only behind Hawaii. And I’m sure the internet network is not as reliable...I was there in August, just before Irma/Maria, and had difficulties getting online a few times.

  40. Someone please tell this person about Dr. Shi Zhengli.

  41. Corporate democrats lost their mind
    2
  42. Getting Biden investigated por political gain is the stupidest thing I have heard from the Dems. Worst than Russiagate. Biden has no chance in his lifetime of ever becoming even the nominee. Trump knows Biden has no chance. The Dems can get Trump on the emolument clause....very easily. But that would force to have 98% of the Congress impeached......so Pelosi can't go that route.
    2
  43. She did a long time ago. With Russiagate.

  44. Cambridge Analytica no longer exists....but I'm sure other will pick up where they left.

  45. This country has only had 17 years of peace since 1776. We are a violent country by nature.
    2
  46.  @greymann  True. Hundreds of people in the US renounce their citizenship every year. And they go on and move to their newly desired country. People in PR who wish to renounce US citizenship, wish to stay in Puerto Rico as a PuertoRican. But the US State Department does not recognize PR as a sovereign entity, so folks who do renounce, end up country-less. It’s a very interesting Court case.
    2
  47.  @greymann  Not an excuse. It’s an actual fact. There is a Court case of a person that renounced US citizenship, and is still country-less because he lives in PR. So now he is an ilegal in his own Island where he lived his entire life. Kind of like the movie “The Terminal”
    2
  48. Voidsworn It’s exactly what I’ve been saying since they started making these moves to PR. Energy costs are second highest in the nation, only behind Hawaii. And I’m sure the internet network is not as reliable...I was there in August, just before Irma/Maria, and had difficulties getting online a few times.

  49.  @greymann  I am only stating what it is written in the law and the US Constitution. Anything outside of that would have to be approved by Congress. And since 1901, zero bills have been introduced by Congress to do so. The actual result of either State or Free Country is not the issue or a factor on what I am presenting. Only sharing the actual law of the Land, because you can see people have opinions in the comments, but none will ever be resolved if the Law is not changed first. So as of today, no vote made by PuertoRicans, even a unanimous one, has any weight against the US Constitution, or Congress. So yes, null vote, until Congress changes the law.
    2
  50. Nikola Demitri And half of the memes came after the elections....and 25% of the memes had zero views. Corporate Dems celebrating this finding...haha.... The real collusion happened with Cambridge analytica and the crosscheck program....but nobody wants to talk about those.

  51. Let’s not forget the important detail that the Governor Ricky Roselló is a Democrat.

  52.  @darrenbutler9819  By parroting the "forever war" talking points. She should be saying that all troops should've been gone by May 31, as per Agreement.
    2
  53.  @darrenbutler9819  That's ok. That's the way it was before. No need to stay there forever, when it's obvious that nothing will change. 20 years of wasted lives, lost lives, for no reason. BTW......I retired from the military in 2020. Wife still in.

  54. The Afghanistan invasion was approved in May 2001.
    2
  55.  @shawnmount2685  She can’t vote on the floor. PR should have 4 to 5 voting Representatives and 2 Senators. But under the current colonial status, they have one Commissioner in the House with zero votes and zero influence. So I guess she is representing the US citizens in PR properly by being invisible to Congress.
    2
  56.  @beckyb2814  Debt is not the reason. Puerto Rico is for the US what the Cayman Islands are for the UK. USA will let PR free when it’s no longer beneficial to US interests
    2
  57.  @dontaylor7315  I hear you about all the topics. But yes, what you said, Only Congress can Free or make PR a State. Per US Constitution, only requires simple majority in House and Senate, and could be done anytime. As if it’s unjust or not, that irrelevant to the Constitution. But Neil Gorsuch did write an opinion last week where he said that he is willing to throw away the 1901 SCOTUS ruling that created this entire mess with the US colonies. There is hope

  59. I'm against the tactics of vulture funds, but the students are clueless here. The constitution dictates that bonds are paid first. There is no way around it. The University has its own financial scandals with bogus student grants and overpaid admin staff. They can get funding from there. The cost of the education is subsidized and it has kept an unrealistic price on education. I've had relatives attend these schools and they all had Pell Grants, which meant college was free, and at the end of each semester, they cashed almost 100% of the grant for their pockets.

  60. The only country that wants divided Koreas is the US.

  61. franctoma Japan’s government is a pseudo colony of the US. Same in S.Korea. The US controls the SKorean military. The US general in charge of USKF, controla the Korean troops also. Something I learned during my year in 2011 at Osan Air Base
    1
  62.  @hannahmurray3782  Nope. Zero proof. The people who have been charged has been for previous crimes or for lying during the investigation. Now...there is plenty of proof of UK meddling in the US election....but that one doesn't get too much attention. I know the Mueller case was for russiagate....but my point is that instead of wasting 2 years on that....it could've been easier to go after him for real reasons.
    1
  63. Yes...the UK got Trump elected....not Russian hackers. But you guys in Democracy Now wasted 2 years parroting Russiagate.

  66. Tulsi is a national hero. She was the first and maybe only politician that knew that the chemical attacks in Syria were done by Al Nusra and the White Helmets

  67.  @Epistemologist1  She knew about the truth of who was behind the gas attacks. And she was proven right.
    1
  68.  @UFO_computers  She was right about Syria. Investigation eventually proved that gas attacks were done by the whitehelmets and company.

  72. Who funds Democracy now nowadays? It used to be a place where you could listen to the unbiased side of a story. This episode covered 4-5 news that had been debunked during the weekend.

  74. The Founding Fathers did not consider black or brown people as Persons, So, no, Congress does not have to recognize anything Puerto Rico decides.

  75. I love the data....but all these issues did not just happened in the last 17 months. Bush and Obama did major damage to income equality with their tax cuts, wars, and Wall St bailouts.

  76.  @ktraglin  Agree. But CA definitely a mayor factor.
    1
  77.  @ktraglin  Truely not a lot pieces to the puzzle when it comes to outside influence that really had a real effect on the outcome. To Cambridge Analytica you can also add the ex-spy, also from the UK, that put together the dossier. Domestically.....the DNC fiasco in the primaries, and later the grave mistake of ignoring the trust belt during the presidential.....guaranteed a win for Trump.

  78.  @Malimbungon-Inano  I was referring to the Philippino workers that work in cruises and Qatar, Saudi, etc. They returned to the Philippines due to work stopping, and brought the virus with them.

  79. Sadly in this case, publicly released documents showed that covid came out of the lab, and research funded by NIH. There is also Congressional testimony about it. All recorded in the National Archives for posterity.

  80. There is 100% proof that covid is lab created. The USA was even funding in part the research and creation of it up to September 30 2019. Program was called PREDICT.

  82. When they got the Oscar I already knew they were Isis. Truly incomprehensible to me that even today, a lot of people still think they were good. We are doomed.

  83. Biden's inaction is going to cause a Trump doctrine takeover in Congress. People already saying that they got more from Trump. The $1400 checks should've happened on day 1. Even Trumpers supported it.
    1
  84. Nope. Russia had nothing to do. Just the UK. Cambridge Analytica was responsible for Brexit....which is why Kushner hired them for the Trump campaign.

  85. This doesn't help anybody. Only delays the inevitable. These evictions and foreclosures will now be worse in 60 days. People will still not have money to pay.

  86.  @greymann  The US did impose US citizenship on PR in 1917. Then in 1940 extended Birthright Citizenship to PR. So people in PR are not able to reject US citizenship. It is also impossible for people in PR to renounce US citizenship for PuertoRican citizenship, because it doesn’t exist.
    1
  87.  @greymann  Also, People in PR do not have Representation in Congress, so demanding representatives to do something, and voting on the issue is impossible.
    1
  88.  @greymann  I think he will be alright. He is an ilegal in his own land. Only problem he will have is that he can’t leave the Island due to no PR passport.
    1
  89.  @leewilliams2094  No. These Territories have never been designated “ Incorporated “. If Congress ever changes it to Incorporated, then Statehood would be next. But PR, Guam, USVI, American Samosa, Mariana Islands fall under the 1901 ruling of being permanent Colonies (Unincorporated Territory)

  93.  @greymann  When the movement for independence was active in PR, The US banned, Spanish, implemented a Gag Order, banned all displays of the PR flag, massacred dozens of people, incarcerated and tortured many more. These actions completely eliminated any further moves from the folks on the Island.
    1
  94.  @fulanichild3138  That has nothing to do with the issue. Congress has never moved to resolve the status of PR. Closest was the Young Bill back in 1998, 100 years after being a US possession, and the Bill was DOA.

  95. Julia Nadeau I guess we could import everything

  96. Julia Nadeau Problem is that the protests are not limited to big companies. Small business are also targeted.

  97.  @monopalle5768  It is US war games. Our country needs a constant enemy to be able to manage and guide popular opinion here. USA has been at war for 229 years out of the 246 years we have existed. It’s our way of life!!!!!!

  98. Not complicated. Very clearly stated in the US Constitution. The PNP and PPD are the ones keeping the population super dumb, because they both support the status quo.

  100.  @darrenbutler9819  She is parroting the "taliban will take over again" to justify us never leaving. The puppet government we put there has no authority.

  102.  @wdy922  FYI PR pays almost zero Federal INCOME Tax. All other Federal taxes are paid at the same rate as the 50 States, and a few at a higher rate than 48 States (Jones Act).

  104.  @grovermartin6874  True. But meaningless debates. It’s all in the hands of Congress and SCOTUS.

  105.  @positivedestiny7152  The Justice Roberts opinion happened within the last 2-3 months. Guam, USVI, PR are all still Unincorporated Territories. No referendum, or any vote of any kind can change that. First step for these territories to seek Statehood is to get Congress to change their designation to “Incorporated “. Constitutionally, this guarantees Statehood eventually.
