Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rosselló resigned Friday as promised, clearing the way for veteran politician Pedro Pierluisi to be sworn in as his replacement, a move that threw the U.S. territory into a period of political uncertainty.
Rosselló had promised to step down in response to weeks of popular protest over mismanagement and a series of leaked chats in which he and advisers denigrated a range of Puerto Ricans. Because of problems with the qualifications of members of Rosselló’s administration in the constitutional line of succession, it was unclear until the last minute who would become governor.

Puerto Rico is a hemorrhoid on an ass that’s not ours.
FUCK THEM!
A new corrupt Democratic govern will be named shortly.
They just got 92 billion dollars and they still want more. Throw the leaders in jail and find out who has the money. The peoples mind set;
Rosa Cifrian, a 47-year-old professor of nursing, said Pierluisi would not be a good governor “for the people.”
“He’ll keep promoting policies of austerity, cutbacks, everything that the board says,” she said.
“The down-to-the-wire maneuvering risked political chaos and sowed bitterness and pessimism among Puerto Ricans about the fate of their island, which has been battered by years by bankruptcy and Hurricane Maria in 2017, one of the worst natural disasters in U.S. history”.
Cut them loose, or send AOC down to save the day.
Leaches all of them, all they want is more of our money.
Turn it back into a Navy Firing range.
91 billion? Put Cummings in there. He has experience hiding money. He’d know what to do.
^^ me.
Otts would have called them “Whiners” — they fucking hate The US and yet the beggars plain and cry. Fuck every one of them. Rot, you whining cunts. It’s far past time for The United States to cut the painter. ROT, you useless fucks!
Another banana republic the United States has on welfare to keep it out of the hands of Russia. Yet, I don’t think it’s a viable strategic territory, anymore.
Now, it’s a matter of keeping them from rushing our borders if they’re not getting aid. Definitely a Catch-22.
Corruption is not eliminated by a long serving politician. Trump proves that in the interregnum. We are not free of the corruption, but we have a single champion. In no way can Puerto Rico claim to have an exodus from corruption with this choice.
And just like that there was another candidate on the list for the September 12th Democrat debate in Houston.
I hoid the Clintons are building a big house to live in down there…
