“May not happen now, but it’s only a matter of time.”

Nah, existing states DONATED land so that DC would not be beholden to any state. They can simply vote the land back into their fold since that compact is being violated.

So that next Reagan had better be VERY media savvy (something that, unfortunately, Trump was not).

I disagree. He ruled Twitter. The problem is that 99% of the media was anti-Trump.

That he did. But by and large, the only folks Trump influenced on Twitter were the folks who followed him. It was like preaching to the choir.

True. And that was infuriating! Media folks are supposed to be neutral reporters of events. But as you noted, most of them are nothing more than Democrat propagandists.

But you’ve got to play the hand that you’re dealt. Too often Trump acted like a bull in a china shop. There was no finesse on his part. He played right into the hands of his enemies. That’s my take, anyway.

If I sound upset, that’s because I am. I truly believe that Trump was the last hope for the Republic. What will follow him will be a mix of ChiCom stooges and Antifa sympathizers.

The reason for all this is that the Dems want two more Dem Senators and two more Dem House Members.

Why not just return the respective land, that is not part of the capital complex to the states that gave up the land for the city originally?

Only Trump could defeat Shrillary.
None of the others could have done it.

No they plan to have a tiny amount of area continue as DC.
The rest will be a state named after Frederick Douglass.

It will die in the Senate, for now. If they get rid of the filibuster, hold onto your butt.

Surprised that all the states basically dont threaten to succeed now that they want to make a city the most powerful state in the union!
