Re: Vote on Washington DC statehood schedule for today!
Well the Dems know how to stack the deck and for decades this idea has been highly debated but now w woke culture and do what ever is necessary to crush the resistance the house will vote on an historic moment to add DC as a 51 state of the union.

Granting DC two senators and one additional congressional seat.
This will have to move on to the senate for approval.
The President is strongly urging this vote to take place now.


Very surprised this is not a pinned thread here at GLP

YES OP

This is an overt act of treason. There's a reason DC isn't a state. It's supposed to belong to ALL of us.

This is serious and severe treason and not just because of the two additional senators. This would create the ability for Xiden's foreign handlers to completely take over our capitol.

We're going to have to stop them if they push this. This really would end our nation. We'd have to all show up there and literally say no, or we'd have to break up the union and subject ourselves to the Balkanization, chaos and insecurity that besets the rest of Europe.

But at this point, I'm feeling kind of ready for secession.
We're being pecked to death by a duck.

They cannot legislate DC into statehood. It will require a constitutional amendment.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80085247


The constitution requires Washing DC district as separate
and NOT a State.

However, it does NOT define the size of the district.

Therefore, the Dems can simply shrink the District to
include the White House and Congress, and a few blocks
(for example) as Washington, District of Columbia.

The rest of the old district now is to be named
"Washington Douglas Commonwealth", and vote on this area
to be the 51st state.

No constitutional amendment needed.

It's and end around.

Next up, Puerto Rico.

We are then officially a banana republic.

 Quoting: Trained Noticer


And this is where the real problem lies. DC is currently bordered by Maryland and Virginia, but from Virginia, you have to cross the Potomac.

So if they do this, Marylanders have to travel through the new state to get to the capitol, and if the new state wants to cut off access, then you gotta get a boat, just like George Washington did.

This wouldn't cut off access to military or air attacks, so it doesn't change security there.

But it does cut off access for protesters.

They are talking about literally cutting off access to our own capitol.

This is why the Democrats are winning. They take action.

The Republicans just block everything.

they take action but it's always stretching the rules to the point you can't see them anymore just to take the action.

Re: Vote on Washington DC statehood schedule for today!
It would make more sense to make other big US cities into States. You could have the state of Los Angeles or Chicago or Atlanta. They're much bigger than the District, large predominantly black population that will vote for the Democrats which is what this is all about.

What a crock of democrat manure!

I said this the entire 2 years when Trump got in when Repubs had house, senate and presidency. Can you imagine what they could have gotten done if those bitches Ryan and McConnell had been willing to work with Trump? Those 2 blew it and now we reap the rewards. Republicans have always bent over and taken it up the butt when it really mattered.
