Democrats latest awful idea: adding new states to lock in Senate control forever

The New York Post ^ | Sept. 18, 2020 | Michael Barone

"Democrats have urged that a Democratic Congress admit new states to the Union [with] a view to blocking a Republican majority forever."

"A Democratic sweep this fall might well produce statehood for the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. And possibly for the US Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam and the Northern ­Mariana Islands."

Here’s the thing - the abuse of the state admission system has always been there, but no party has ever dared to even threaten to abuse it before - until this week, when the Dems in their rage over losing RBG announced their plans to stuff the courts and the senate with as many new members as they need to take control. I cannot recall ever in my life hearing such an ugly and naked threat to seize power by one group of Americans over the rest of us. I think we should take it as a grave threat to our country as we know it.

this is why we need to stop attacking RINOs because that is how they split us in taking over the House-lose the Senate and even if Trump wins, he’s a lame duck

Reagan was the king of it.

[napscoordinator]

Eastern shore too.

[newzjunkey]

California should’ve split up. It’ll never happen and, unfortunately, that state is a lost cause politically.

It was his biggest mistake and he admitted it.

Flimsey and Micro want to repeat it.

[Salamander]

We need to build a connecting bridge or tunnel and consolidate the SANE parts of this state.

Better yet, just graft the diseased counties onto DC and be done with them.

[Chode]

i don't know if the territories want to start paying taxes

[Sertorius]

Isn’t that a form of colonization?

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Cut off their electricity, food, internet, and gasoline.

Git er done!

"If the Democrats take over the Senate, they could admit 5 new states and pack the Supreme Court with 6 new judges... and take control forever. "

...... Oh Well ..... All I can say is ........ GET THE FU@# OUT AND VOTE!!!!!!!

[Lisbon1940]

Still gonna be two short.

Alberta could be 51. State additions aside, it’s cute that anyone thinks that the problems we have now can be solved by voting.

Correction: The time to attack and deal with RINOs is in the primary. In the general, suck it up and vote Republican.

About the ‘sane’ parts of Maryland you refer to... they are like good white basketball players.

And they could have Brooklyn join the United Nations and open a unicorn farm on the White House lawn.

“And Texas can split into 5 states...”

---

Texas got that right by the treaty which annexed an independent Texas into the Union. Congress does not have to approve. However, some claim that the right became null when Texas was ‘readmitted’ into the Union after the Civil War.

Barone is a squish.

Since there will be too many new stars to put on the flag, they could just replace it with the Hammer & Sickle in the corner.

[plain talk]

“If you vote Democrat, just know that you are voting for them to take over our government forever.”

A lot of people would be fine with that.
