California needs to be divided into 3 states
NY two.
The left will figure out a way to do it, whether it’s this election or the next. They have no opposition.
The remaining 1% (encompassing actual govt. buildings like the White House and the Capitol) should remain federalized.
Problem solved.

If DC became a state it would probably be bankrupt from the date of its inception. Interestingly, this COVID-19 outbreak will throw a monkey wrench into a lot of these discussions when people grow up and start looking at the financial ramifications of these silly decisions.
Wouldn’t this require an amendment to the Constitution?
Socialism /Communism infinitum in the USSA .
“But what if a Democrat is elected to the White House this November, and the party wins a majority in the Senate, while keeping the House?”
If that happens then not only would DC statehood be one of our least concerns but it would become unnecessary.
If the GOP wins the all three branches should pass a bill returning the populated part of DC back to Maryland, and just keep the Federal Mall, Capital Hill White House area as DC.
Very bad idea... Any division of a liberal progressive state/district would create 2 more liberal progressive states/districts and 2 more new progressive liberal senators from each.....etc..
Interestingly, two of the biggest opponents to DC statehood were the senators from Maryland. Barbara “Barf” Mikulski’s few moments of sanity in her 30 years in the Senate coalesced around fighting DC statehood. The reason was simple: the first thing that the “State of New Columbia”, as it would be called, would enact a wage tax on all commuters coming in from Maryland, Virginia and other states (believe it or not, there are people who work in DC during the day that live in West Virginia and Pennsylvania).
If DC could become a ‘state’ then LA, San Fran, Detoilet, NYC, etc could also become ‘states’.
The Senate would be just like the House of Rep, a liberal puke joke.
How can anyone entertain the thought of making any city a state. If Washington, DC becomes a state, then will NYC, Chicago, Los Angeles, Dallas, Houston, Miami, etc soon follow? Heck, how about Portland, Maine—shouldn’t every state be allowed to make at least one city another state. Oh, then there is Little Rock, Arkansas or maybe Jackson, Mississippi. This is total insanity. We are evolving from a country of intelligent human beings into a confederacy of dunces.
Incorporation of northern Virginia and eastern infected areas into an area with their dc kind and call it all dc. Let it be with the same intended ‘you can’t and won’t be able to vote when you’re voting for your own selves as our founding fathers so rightly saw fit. Takers not makers thats what you have here.
Face it, if we lose the house, the senate, and the presidency, we’re finished. A civil war may occur, but who knows if the silent majority will wake up. Hitler had the brown shirts, Pelosi has Antifa and BLM.
They just keep coming up with ways not to vote Bolshekrat.
“MODERATE” Democrats.
Stop talking about unicorns who do not exist anymore.
No it won’t. Find something substantive to write about.
Washington is a constitutional set-aside. There must be an amendment to change its status.
