Some how we have to get all of Virginia’s counties that adjoin THE SWAMP to leave Virginia and join Maryland where the people are simpatico with their Marxist thinking......

Any ideas on how we can get rid of them?

All we have to do is eliminate the workers from the government and they will return to the states they came from. They are there to work for the bloated Federal Government.

Simple solution. Do with D C what bappened to the DC area of Virginia. Keep the area around the Capitol, White House, SCOTUS Z and Major Depts and monuments as a federal district. Return the actual city and environs to the State of Maryland. The Dems get another Congressman but no new Senators. And the residents of Washington will have full rights as citizens to take part in determining their own affairs governmentally..

So what?! The District of Columbia does not have that option. It is not a territory. It is a federal enclave under exclusive control of Congress. The District was created so that the federal government was not located in or answerable to any of the several sovereign states but rather resided in its own exclusive district.

The "vote" is all stuff and nonsense. Time for Congress to reassert direct control.

DC is already 100% Democrat

But those Dims DID vote for Trump last night (I know .. their machines obviously "malfunctioned" and turned their Killary votes into Trump's).

Have citizens living in DC be allowed to vote in Maryland.

DC was created to be the seat of Federal Government there should not be anyone living there.

If they do not like their status, move.

At least eight years. Maybe 20.

We could do with less than half the Federal Government we have.

And some Silicon Valley billionaires are trying to make a petition for CA to secede.


Actually they should divide California down the middle. From Orange county line north to the border, and along the coastal mountain range.

Liberal get most of the coast (leaving San Diego to conservatives) and Conservatives would have the central valley (and the water).

I would support that

They need our consent. It’s a separate capital district for a reason, formed from a malarial swamp, a short distance from watchful eyes at Mt. Vernon, by men who knew the representatives of the States needed to meet on neutral ground. Dear residents of the District of Columbia, we consent to you pounding sand till your knuckles bleed.

Yes, I know.

But assuming it was to be dissolved, why would any part of it be folded in to Virginia? Virginia has already taken back the portions of D.C. which it originally ceded to create that swamp. The whole remaining pile of crap is on the Maryland side of the Potomac.

Don’t you just love this DNC form of overt gerrymandering?
