Only in the fevered mind of a Democrat Party fanatic would a middling sized city be possible as a state.

I think we all know, the Democrats are eager to make DC a state, to get two new Democrat senators in perpetuity.

If there weren’t a political angle here, where Democrats would benefit politically, they wouldn’t be pushing this.

DC should have no permanent population -- only gubmint bldgs, embassies, museums, and hotels.
Failing that, DC should be given to the already-****ed state of Maryland.
Failing that, DC should have no votes -- no one has a gun to their head to live there (just after they move there).

I thought part of DC was donated to the Federal Government by the State of Virginia ...

BOTH parties threw out the Constitution when they swore in the ineligible Kenyan from Indonesia.

The good news is they won’t settle for being allowed to vote in Maryland. Do not offer them that olive branch. Let the constitution stand up for us. If they don’t like it we can tell them to move.

Every piece of land the DNC controls politically is a sh*t hole. The only way they stay in power is criminal like any crime organization and shocking how they have brainwashed the masses and pretty much control every institution of our society.

We did not stand for the Constitution, now it is just a relic in a glass case.

Regardless of which neighborhood that is, things are rapidly changing in DC. One run-down neighborhood after another is being gentrified. Young professionals are teeming over The District. It is, after all, where the jobs are right now. The working poor (overwhelmingly black) are being pushed out as they can’t afford the new housing costs. It is still and will probably always be overwhelmingly Democratic voting though.

It is my understanding that DC is prohibited Constitutionally from being able to be a state. Is that correct?

Yes, but Obama is also prohibited from being President and Harris is prohibited from being VP.

The Constitution ceased to be relevant when ALL of our elected and appointed swore in the ineligible Kenyan/British subject/Indonesian.

".. The Third World Country Of Washington DC " produces nothing of value,
and lives parasiticly off the largess of the already political elite.

Originally it was, but Virginia took it back and that is basically Arlington County today.

All I need to know about politics in DC is that Marion Berry was re-elected even after his crack cocaine bust.
