Damn it Pete why did I listen you? You embarrassed me in front of the sensei!!
As you know I love your idea but I can’t imagine the now rat controlled VA government ever going for it or Maryland either. What would it take? Our leaders lack imagination as it is. As we’e discussed before I’d like to see many many states reshaped to free decent people from the control of the left and ensure our control of the Presidency and Congress. Herd all the leftists into CHAZ Bantustans. I fear only violence on the part of say downstate Illinoisans or inland Californians would ever lead to freedom. At least decent folk would need to start copying BLM tactics, which seem to be effective , but most are too busy with jobs and families and hampered with respect for the law to go out and do that.
BTW what did Fredrick Douglass ever do to deserve such a shithole be named after him? ;-D Might as well name it after Rayshard Brooks.
I think retrocession is a more viable alternative if it becomes impossible to do nothing.
As for DC statehood, it SHOULD be a non-starter but is it really among rats? The types of scum who comment on “political wire” have been mentioning it for months, Pelosi is about to have a vote on it. We’ll soon see how many rats in the House vote against it (guess not many). Which rat Senators might vote no? Manchin? If you were them, wouldn’t you pull the trigger? I’d support admitting Palmyra Atoll (or DC if it was Staten Island for that matter) if I thought we could get 2 Senators out of it. As I said I’m rather surprised they haven’t been pushing for this longer and harder. They’d have to nuke the filibuster, but why wouldn’t they? Fear of escalation?
We must win this election.
When I said that DC statehood would be a non-starter, I was assuming thst they would not eliminate the filibuster.
But, yes, we must win this election.
