If DC becomes the 51st state, There will be 102 Senators. Which means 2 MORE Democrats in the Senate as Washington DC will ALWAYS vote Democrat.

If pelousy’s mansion is made a “state,” like this, she can then declare succession and become President of the Communist State of Amerika” —- and we”ll finally be rid of her.

[monkeyshine]

“full self rule” huh? ROFL. Liars, cheats, scoundrels. And that’s just the media.

Two more Demonrat Senate seats. If they make PR a state, that will be 4 more Demonrat Senate seats. If they get that, they can pass any communism they want, and Blown-Brain Joe the Usurper will sign anything they put in front of him.

It's time to admit it: America as we have known it is gone. We'll have to fight to get part of it back, but we will lose the Blue States.

What will they name it? Satanopolis?

[Don Corleone]

I think it also requires a change to the Constitution itself. I know, what Constitution? That tired old thing.

[dfwgator]

The State of Barryton.

[Ann Archy]

Its TOTALLY UN CONSTITUTIONAL!

[whatexit]

I’d prefer they just make it a country, and leave the rest of America alone.

[Honorary Serb]

An unconstitutional power grab!!!!

[butlerweave]

Nancy will bypass the Senate and take right to Joe to sign ,LOL

There is little true human wisdom in our house these days.

Only if they take the surrounding counties in Northern Virginia with them, so Virginia can flip back Republican.

D.C. residents have no representation in Congress?

Give it back to Maryland from whence it came.

Problem solved, no additional RAT senators needed.

It is more difficult than a lot of people think:

"Supporters say that residents of Washington, nearly half of whom are Black, deserve the same representation as other Americans. Residents pay federal taxes, register for selective service and fight in the military, but they don’t have a full voice in Congress and local leadership can be overruled by the federal government."

That is easily solved...

By retro-cession of the Metro-DC (residence/business area of DC) back to the originating donor state it came from, which is Maryland. Those complaining ‘disenfranchised’ will have their dream for representation/participation as full citizens of the state of Maryland! PRESTO!

Congress has NO authority to transform by vote, ANY part of the existing DC into a state... ZERO! The ONLY authority congress has is to vote to cede Metro-DC back to Maryland if the business/residential population want representation.

Lopping a part of DC off and claiming statehood is complete NONSENSE and ruse. The only interest bt democrats for doing so is political and for power! Typical Dem ploy. They can’t win on argument and ideas at the ballot box, so they rig/game the system to take/steal power.

Two quick questions.

1. What will be the capitol of this new state?

2. “New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new State shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or Parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress.” -Article IV sec.III

After Washington D.C is dis-incorporated, the land not designated Federal would be given back to Maryland and Virginia. Would not their legislatures have to vote to give up that land? Or do we not follow the most basic laws of the land?

Sorry three questions.

[lucky american]

So, I guess I don’t have to pay any more federal taxes. right? I’m not paying taxes to 2 states.

If representation of American citizens is the issue (and we know it is not) the area outside of the Biden Armed Encampment in D.C., could be annexed by Maryland or Virginia. No new seats in the Senate.

And speaking of the Biden Armed Encampment, have they installed the moat yet? Are the sharks with freakin lasers on backorder?
