fri., 25 oct., 2019: puertorrequeño poly-sci, i.: give us This Day our Daily Curse

[NOTE: these terms are weaponized language, & meant to give offense. Which is the whole & compleat point of insult & invective, obscenity & blasphemy, & other political speech.]

SPANISH:  “¡Pobre Requeños!  ¡Tan lejos de Dios y tan cerca de los Estados Unidos!”   ‡

 

‡ )  “Poor Puerto Ricans!  So far from God,  and so close to the United States!”  — 

a punning comparison of the shared geopolitical curse of Mexico & Puerto Rico in this Gilded Age of #fakepresidentdonaldshitstaintrump. 

NOTE:  Puerto Rico = Rich Port.   Puerto Rico has been saddled by bankster debt for decades,  & the current American regime’s treatment of post-Hurricane Maria US colonies is par for the course...  Only, with reality teevee show insults,  lies,  & political stunts thrown in for ratings & for redmeat-for-the-trumpo-base.  The Spanish word for Puerto Rican is Puertorrequeño.  Hence,  Pobre Requeños.
