Remember when Barack Obama was mocked while running for president in 2008 for thinking there were 57 states? Commentators at the time pointed out he probably made this absurd error because it might have been because there are 57 Islamic states in the world. Well, rather than being embarrassed by the notion of 57 states in the USA, Democrats have now seem to have EMBRACED the idea that there are 57 states in the union. And it isn't just loon on the street corner claiming he (or she) is a Democrat and screaming into the wind that there are 57 states. It is someone (although a leftwing loon) who is now running for Chair of the national Democrat party who is absurdly claiming there are 57 states, namely one Ben Wikler the Chair of the Democrat party of Wisconsin. He makes this claim of 57 states by watering down the whole definition of states by including D.C. and U.S. territories as states to get to Obama's magic number of 57 states. It sort of make sense since Democrats hate the whole idea of states since they favor a centralized system of government run from Washington, D.C. and not our federal form of government consisting of sovereign states as laid out in the Constitution.
Nope.I strongly oppose governmental consolidation.
A Republican in Indiana wants to abolish townships and make everything countygov.
Better if people can go to LOCAL trustee than have to appeal to county official in government castle. .
Yeah, but it would get rid of a lot of Rat senators.
Canada could be divided into four States, Puerto Rico can become a State, and Greenland can be a state, that leaves President Trump one more state of his choosing to make Barack Insane Obama’s 57 states !
Democrats now embrace the idea of 57 States because they only know of two of them confusion and chaos.
The DNC has spent decades packing courts to enable their gerrymandering a majority in Congress, and wants illegals counted for allocations of seats -- California already has the most House seats of any other single state -- while the at-large elected Senate has resisted their "durable majority" plans. Now they want to use California, Puerto Rico, etc, to manufacture an edge in the Senate.
Pennsylvania should scrape off Philadumpia and donate it to the People’s Democratic Republic of New Jersey. Both states would benefit.
