Oh! Unbounded joy... After January 2021, life will be so much more wonderful with:

• The addition of two more communist Senators;
• The addition of 4-to-5 more communist House members;
• The addition of 5-to-8 more communist SCOTUS members;
• The construction & filling of thousands of re-education camps;
• The complete removal/destruction of Trump's wall;
• The immediate award of citizenship to 34-to-50 million illegals and DACA scum;
• The outlawing of the National Anthem;
• The creation of a new American flag;
• The mandate of ONLY electric cars allowed on federal highways by 2022;
• The setting of restrictions for travel across state lines to be obtained for each trip with a 90-day request & justification; and,
• The addition of 10-to-15 more communist Departments as Cabinet-level agencies...

Yep! This brings tears of joy to this 87-year old's eyes...

Only Apophis can save us... I hope that I can last till 2029 to see it...

If residents of DC want representation they can move to the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Unconstitutional. And self-styled “Delegate” Eleanor Holmes-Norton has no power; she is just a short black woman with a big mouth.

AND, a documented history of employing an illegal alien domestic at less than the required minimum wage (as well NOT paying FICA taxes...) This was back during the Carter "Reign" when she was the head of the EEOC! Who knows..., Google has probably expunged all info from the memory bank..., I have not checked recently!

The First Amendment of the Constitution is explicit about the District of Columbia. All the Dems want are the two electoral college delegates it would provide them.

[Paladin2]

"Other places, such as the City of Detroit is totally inhabited by low class people, and outside it, in Macomb and Oakland Counties, are the wealthy people with expensive houses. "

Yet CV2 ran rampant in all four [add Wayne County to the mix]

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Why not name the new state “Douchbagia” after Elenor Holmley Norton and Nancy Bella Pelosi? After all, Virginia and Maryland were named after wymyn.

Making a city a State , only a Demonut could come up with that

[Vermont Lt]

That sounds OK to me.

[chopperk]

The First Amendment of the Constitution is explicit in the independence it gives to the nations capitol and made the capitol the independence is has. All the Dems want are the two liberal electoral college delegates it would give them if DC is made a state.

[oldbill]

Better remedy - cede the entire District of Columbia to Maryland, and move the capital to Kansas, dead in the middle of the country.

Brazil did it quite successfully.

[KingofZion]

it has been mismanaged for years and should have been returned to MD as Arlington and Alexandria were sent back to VA. the only problem is that MD does not want to accept responsibility for the residents of DC (can you blame them?) also this would effectively kill Hogan’s chances and any other GOP nominee statewide.

DOA. If people living there don’t like it...leave. Just don’t move here. We don’t need any of those WDC attitudes.

[Repeal 16-17]

It would take an Amendment would it not?

Such an amendment was passed by Congress on August 22, 1978. It was called the District of Columbia Voting Rights Amendment and it would have given DC full Congressional representation, full participation in Presidential election (not merely 3 electors), and full participation in the amendment process (Article V).

The States overwhelmingly rejected the proposal; needed 38 ratifications for adoption, received only 16. By its own terms, the proposal died on August 22, 1985. The lesson the Demon-crats took from this was to ignore Article V in the future when trying to get two perpetually Democrat DC Senators.

[hal ogen]

You should have added parasite on the taxpayers’ tit and a nitwit supreme.

[Repeal 16-17]

The First Amendment Article I of the Constitution is very explicit about keeping The District of Columbia independent.

Fixed.

[VeniVidiVici]

Oh hell. Don’t give it back to Maryland.

[Meatspace]

“All the Dems want are the two electoral college delegates it would provide them.”

Washington D.C. has three Electoral College votes.

[chuckee]

And right behind that Pelosi’s Dems are probably queuing up another bill to admit CHAZ as the 52nd state. Imagine, we will have our first two Antifa senators.
