Next up: The state of Chicago or Atlanta or Los Angels. Detroit will be named a third world country.

Proof that DC government types are borderline illiterate in addition to lacking creativity.

New Kenya would be more appropriate

I believe DC is established as a federal entity in the Constitution outside of any state.

Without a strong president, the future of DC is a nuclear explosion courtesy of the mad mullahs in Iran.

Well, they can’t very well call it Columbia. That would be insensitive and offensive.
