    If all the DEMOCRATS want to move there and declare independence, I'm OK with that, Cap'n.

    The Commonwealth government has its own tax laws and Puerto Ricans are also required to pay some US federal taxes, although most residents do not have to pay the federal personal income tax. Residents also pay federal payroll taxes, such as Social Security and Medicare taxes.

    Is it? You'll also need to document this because it's starting to look like another leftist lie.

    Gov. Cuomo's controversial order requiring nursing homes to admit COVID-19 patients was reportedly removed from New York's health website

    Before Cuomo released new guidance on May 10, mandating that hospitals could not send COVID-19 positive patients back to nursing homes until they tested negative for the virus, the controversial order stated that "no resident shall be denied re-admission or admission to the [nursing home] solely based on a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19."

    The order also said nursing homes and adult facilities were "prohibited from requiring a hospitalized resident who is determined medically stable to be tested for COVID-19 prior to admission or readmission."

    Obviously.

    I don't intend to let that figure go unchallenged, though.

    51 or 52 states? That will trigger my OCD.

    At least 51 is a prime number.

    I actually thought it was evenly split there, some want stay the same, some want total liberty from US and some want statehood.

    I just want Trump and his kind to DIE.
