“the group calls for full legislative and budget autonomy as well as full representation and voting rights in Congress”

I doubt these loons know what it means. My guess would be two U.S. senators and a voting Congresscritter, along with abolishing Congressional oversight over the city.

What’s the over/under on it NOT really being their last meal?

  You could make D.C smaller so that most of the current residents could become residents of Maryland and vote as Maryland citizens. If D.C. becomes a state, we should really push for Houston, Texas to become a state as well.

If what they ate was my last meal, I too would go on a hunger strike.

Need to bring the bar-b-ques and the smokers over there, and cook lots and lots of meat

DC could become part of Virginia or Maryland—problem solved.

No, VIRGINIA does not want DC, md can take it, its on their side of the river anyways!
