No one should be allowed to declare residency in DC.
Problem solved!
Wow. They really do want a civil war.
repeal the 23rd amendment instead
G*****m Georgia (and Michigan).
They can’t get rid of the electoral college so they just stack the House and Senate.
If this evil and ultra-corrupt Stalinazi “city-state” of 61 square miles deserves 2 U.S. Senators and a Congressman, let’s go ahead and give every area of the U.S. consisting of that geography a similar number of Senators and Congressmen. All 3.5 MILLION square miles.
Giving us 57,900 states.
Fair is fair.
When the Virginia portions of D.C. were retroceded in the 1840s, why didn’t they get to be a new state? Carve out a small federal enclave around the Capitol Mall & White House and retrocede the rest of the s—thole back to Maryland.
Under the terms of its admission, Texas can divide itself into 5 states.
They want to try and do the same thing with Puerto Rico but the people have voted down statehood multiple times in non-binding referendums. Can they force statehood on them?
Just give DC back to Maryland. Problem solved Maryland gets one more Representative & more tax dollars.
"Now that Democrats have control in the House, the Senate, and the White House, could D.C. get statehood through a simple majority vote?
Answer: Yes, although there would need to be a rule change in the Senate.
In the House of Representatives, a statehood bill would only need a majority vote. In the Senate, a bill typically needs 60 votes to overcome the filibuster.
Some Democrats have already gone on record stating that they are opposed to the removal of the filibuster for votes on statehood."
More LAWLESSNESS by our illegitimate government..........THIS IS UNCONSITUTIONAL!!!!!!!!!!
So barks Comrade Mayor BowWow Bowser.
What a disappoint she turned out to be though in any DC leadership, most turn out to be communists/Marxists/crackheads & wife beaters; corrupt; stupid; racist; liars and Democrats.
Excuse me if I left anything out but I think I hit the highlights of these Democrat LowLifes.
DC is now a foreign entity within the US
DC is now a foreign entity within the US
The same people who were crying foul about Trump adding a 3rd Sc justice. He was the only one willing to square off with them.
DC is Maryland.
DC is not and never will be an African state within the union in spite of the fact an African black mayor longs to be an Africn black governor
It’s unconstitutional
Let this sink in:
- They must retain a tiny DC that remains the “seat of government”.
- This will be a few blocks of land, a few hundred residents.
- Under the 23rd Amendment, these few hundred people get 3 votes in the Electoral College.
And where are our so-called “leaders” of the Whig..er, Republican..party on this? Has anyone heard a PEEP from them saying something along the lines of “um, no, you can’t - and we’ll sue the living daylights out of anyone who attempts to try such a thing”?
McConnell needs to go, and go NOW if not sooner. Replace him with Cruz or Hawley.
Next will be Porto Rico as the next Marxist's "packing the Senate" state to be made up. Wonder what other US territories they will move to make states!! Hell, the way this mob of criminals is going, I suspect they will offer Statehood to Mexico, Honduras, Venezuela, Panama, and all the other Central American countries that their citizens are abandoning for the USA. Hell, make them Marxist's states and just give them the free everything under the sun in benefits and let them stay there. THERE ARE NO JOBS HERE FOR THEM TO TAKE ANYMORE!!!! All the landscaping jobs are taken; the hamburger flipping jobs are already take up; Arabs from the middle east have bought up all the gas stations, mini marts, 7-11 type stores, so none of those are there. The only jobs I can think of for them are to join ANTIFA or Black Lives Matters and become part of the city burners and gangsters.
THIS action, is the Marxist's starting their moves to make this a One Party Nation, with them in charge of EVERYTHING. From your pay check, to your puny retirement check, to your health care OR SHOULD I SAY, the LACK of your health care AT THE GOVERNMENT'S DECISION!!! Socialized medicine just like the UK and the EU's healthcare (or lack of) system. I can only say that one horror story that I read on the UK's system was a guy who blew out his ACL in his knee and it TOOK 18 MONTHS to get a damned MRI. It took THREE FREAKING YEARS ON A FREAKING WAITING LIST TO GET THE SURGERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had a knee replacement in Nov 2018. The stinking so called surgeon who came highly recommended by dozens of people I check with, how great he was, great job, yada yada. Well, he screwed it up. In June 2019, when a new doctor found that both parts the first guy was suppose to "cement" or as I call it, glued in, didn't do a decent job and everything came loose and banged around in the knee. The second doctor immediately got me back into the OR and fixed the knee right. I told him to use extra Gorilla Glue and make it hold. He did. But the damage that the first replacement did inside my knee has caused a host of other issues. The knee which was suppose to be "fixed" is now worse than before I had the freaking first surgery. Wish now I had just left the damned thing like it was before the surgery. BUT, WHAT I AM GETTING AT IS, that if this were the UK, I would have waited YEARS for the first surgery and YEARS to fix the screwed up surgery!!! WELCOME to the Marxist's Dimocratic healthcare system of obama nation.
So, folks, it is starting. The list of "changes" are just starting. I bet their "list" is VOLUMES long. Probably bigger than the damned budget for 2021 book will be. The only words needed inside the new budget will be: SPEND AS MUCH AS YOU WANT ON EVERYTHING WE WANT TO DO. And to hell with those states that voted for Trump. signed: Deadbrain Communist Buttbuddy joe biden. (sorry for the rant folks. sometimes this crap just gets to you. especially for we older folks who have lived in a free nation all our 70, 80 plus years and now may finish out our lives in a Soviet state.)
