Frankly I can pick out about 40 cities and 8 states who don’t deserve a vote.

It’s unconstitutional, but then again, so was the Kenyanesian Usurpation.

Cede them back to Maryland and Virginia. No new liberal senators. Give them a Congress critter.

I still think it would be best for the government to buy up all the land in DC. Leases to those businesses allowed to operate there. Bulldoze most of them, and do a complete modernization of infrastructure and roads.

It would offer much more office space, park space, have much better traffic control, have special roads for deliveries, and to move a lot of people quickly, have covered automatic sidewalks, like they do in airport concourses.

How about we don’t need a state that’s only 67 square miles!

There. Easy.

The Capitol was never in New York, although a capitol of a sort was and the city WAS the nation’s capital.

There’s a difference between capital with an “a” and capitol with an “o”.

DC needs to be shrunk. All federal facilities and land should be “district” controlled but the asinine DC government and their a-hole representatives need to go. Split the civilian areas and parcel them out to the adjacent states.

[Wuli]

Not a good idea.

Fun fact from my tour guide days here! The capitol was, of course, originally in New York. The southern states did not like that the capitol and its influence was located in the north and wanted it closer. The northern states relented and agreed to have a new capitol built at a halfway point, on the banks of the Potomac River. While the new capitol was being built, it was temporarily moved to Philadelphia. The northern states agreed to this because they wanted the capitol in Philly and thought that DC would never actually be built. So our capitol is built on one massive reclaimed swamp, hence the humidity and mosquitoes in the summer. Drain THIS!

New York really never did cease being the capitol. It's control of the finance industry makes it the defacto capitol, and the national propaganda apparatus is in fact located in New York.

Washington DC is just New York's puppet.

Petula Dvorak also wrote a column “Where Trump SHOULD HAVE BEEN on the Fourth” or similar title ... because SHE knows where he should go, and when. (The where in this case was an immigrant swearing in ceremony at Mt Vernon, while apparently unknown to Mz Dvorak, VPOTUS attended another swearing in ceremony at the National Archives)
