Exactly and then disperse the Federal Government around the country.
With modern technology it is no longer a requirement that they all be in on place.
Just like trying to cut California into smaller states and building up the number of undocumented Democrats despite risks to citizens, desperate, lawless Democrats are looking for ways to compensate for unthinkingly supporting the murder of unborn Democratic voters to try to win control of the Senate again.
Same idea with enlarging Supreme Court.
wonder how many electoral votes that would get them.
********************************************
See post 19 above.
I believe they CURRENTLY have three electoral votes. If they go back to Maryland then they would lose those three electoral votes and Maryland would likely gain one additional Congresscritter. So the net result is that the RATS would lose two electoral votes, the Congresscritter from DC would (as a then representative from expanded Maryland) have a vote and the RATS would not have two new Senators. This is why they resist going back to Maryland.
I would support this. I always said we should get our so-called elites out of that marble columned city.
Move the Capital to Omaha, make DC a state, and turn the whole city into a museum.

DC is on the east side of the Potomac and Maryland is already a Communist State, so let them have it.
Virginia is already becoming a blue state and we have our own troubles. We don't need all those cretins from DC here.
The original 10 square miles of DC was supposed to be the seat of the Federal Gov’t. There shouldn’t have been any residential district there in the first place. Use eminent domain to seize all properties & bulldoze everything. Let current residents move to another state.
Give it to Maryland.
Thank you. I missed that.
Among Democrats maybe; real American? No way!
new state admission is governed by the constitution...thusly:
“New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new States 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.”
Constitution, Article 4 Section 3, Clause 1
ONLY REASON (IN MY OPINION) THEY ARE PUSHING THIS IS SO THEY CAN GET A HOUSE AND SENATE SEAT....tip the numbers more in their favor for a majority....democrats always have an unspoken motive
Same idea with enlarging Supreme Court."
Heres another way that Democrats proving social Darwinism are trying to buy votes to survive.
It Begins: House Subcommittee To Hold Hearing On Slavery Reparations
The former Confederate States can chip in for slavery reparations if they want to imo.
Otherwise, the states have never amended the Constitution to give the feds the specific power to tax and spend in the name of reparations, not even in the post-Civil War amendments to the Constitution.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States."Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
Virginia absorbing it’s share of DC occurred in 1846 - the Retrocession Act. So we have the model.
Here’s my solution
1. Federal employees can’t vote in federal election. Can vote in state, county, city.
2. State employees can’t vote in state elections, can in federal, county & local.
3. County employees, etc
4. City employees etc.
Or we could decertify FedGov employee unions, easiest to do since they were allowed via EO, could be decertified with a EO.
Also actually enforce the Hatch Act would be a good first start. GOP administrations pretend to, Rat administrations pretend it doesn’t exist.
They want representation?
Return all the inhabited part of DC back to Maryland.
Keep the Federal mall area as DC.
Send congress home and let them telecomute.
I dont recall any other state that became one via constitutional amendment.
The original reason for having a Federal capital district is so that no state would have power over the seat of the Federal government. The District voted for Hillary Clinton by something like 92%. Imagine the hostility of such a state government against President Trump. Look at what New York state government is trying.
“The District is specifically mentioned in two places in the Constitution. In the body of the document itself and in the 23 Amendment. Dont see how it can become a state without altering both parts where it is mentioned.”
Thanks!
Looking for a Trump veto, to buy “black” votes in 2020.
THAT is the sole purpose of such things. ALWAYS.
I suggest Omaha for these reasons:
