Michigan Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib told D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser she wanted to hang a desecrated flag with 51 stars outside her congressional office, according to reports.Tlaib said Thursday she wants an altered American flag with 51 – instead of 50 – stars to demonstrate support for making the District of Columbia a state.Tlaib’s exchange with Bowser came about because of D.C. statehood advocating displaying American flags with 51 stars.

We can just skip the “American flag” part for the seditious towelhead...

[Pajamajan]

Needs 6 more stars. There are 57 states.

[Pearls Before Swine]

It’s all about 2 more guaranteed lefty Senators. Same thing for Puerto Rico.

[Red Badger]

Okay, then Texas becomes 5 states!...... 😉

[windowdude]

Please do, Miss.

[Bob434]

I wonder if he’s still looking for those extra states?

[fproy2222]

Anyone know how this would affect the Electoral College?

[jazusamo]

No surprise, that’s a direct reflection on Tlaib’s lack of patriotism.

[Retrofitted]

Aren’t desecrated flags supposed to be burnt for proper disposal? If that’s the case, I’ll volunteer to take care of it so she won’t have to.

Only if New York can be divided into two.

I’m at a loss how we get representatives that outright hate the nation they live in.

[SharpRightTurn]

Well, this dingbat has a point in that a star on the flag representing the District of Corruption would definitely be a desecration.

Simple. Put them in a district where the vast majority share that same viewpoint.

[Red Badger]

And California onto 3 Or 4!...............😲

[Fightin Whitey]

Please do, Miss.

But exactly.

Let the muzzy sow underscore just how much she hates "the Republic for which it stands."

[flamberge]

I’m at a loss how we get representatives that outright hate the nation they live in.

Permitting tax-subsidized non-profit organizations to settle 3rd-world "refugees" from hostile cultures into urban concentrations where they dominate the local politics.

And they all vote for Democrats.

The Democrats know exactly what they are doing.

I like that idea. The 4 NYC Boroughs and maube Westchester v.s the rest of the state and Staten island.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

The 51st state will be Israel. Imagine the glee in telling her that.

Pretty cool article here.

the Founding Fathers decided that the new nation should have a permanent capital. But they were reluctant to give that much power to one single state. So they wrote in Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution that “[The Congress shall have Power] To exercise exclusive Legislation…over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may…become the Seat of the Government of the United States.” The article also stated that this 100-mile district would come from land ceded by the states so that the new seat of government would be independent of any state.

So I would think that statehood would be blatantly unconstitutional. The libs would have to pack the court first.

One question I have is that DC is much larger than 10 square miles. If anything, I'd think it would be more constitutional to SHRINK DC and give back any lands outside of 10 square miles to Maryland and Virginia (which ceded it to the feds in the first place).

Interested in the thoughts of others. Especially regarding the fact that DC, according to Google, is 68.34 square miles. Maybe I'm missing some nuance or later revision/interpretation or something.
