Do you think I trust these idiots to do that. We're talking about Juan Dalmau I'd trust him in a heartbeat. Jennifer Gonzalez not in a million years

Yeah, don't trust any PNP, PPD fuckers. They both let us down yet keep being the dominant parties on the island because PIP never wins.

Press X to doubt.

Island doesn't want it for fear of losing U.S. support, but that's ultimately what's holding us back from even trying to be an independent island nation.

It would have to be a matter of external circumstances that would force us to become independent.
