Well, we all knew it was coming. Democrats have been salivating over the idea of making Washington DC a state for years. Why? Because they know Washington DC is a cesspool of radical Democrats and thus want to increase their majority with two more Senators and who knows how many Congressmen. And today, Democrats have just introduced legislation in the Senate to make Washington DC the 51st state:

I think they need a constitutional amendment before they get away with this latest stunt.

If I am not mistaken 38 States would have to approve (ratify). I don't see It happening. And why would Senators want to water down their influence?

I'm curious. Why didn't they START with Puerto Rico? Seems to me that Puerto Rico would be easier. It just requires a majority vote in congress. Could it be that Puerto Rico doesn't guarantee treasoncrat senators?

I thought most Puerto Ricans did not want to become the 51st state. Maybe that has changed. I never expected Biden and the Dems to work this fast to get their agenda started. There will be many people that will have huge regrets for voting for sleepy Joe.

The Republic of Texas approaches. Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, S Dakota, N Dakota, Montana, Alberta (Canada), Saskatchewan (Canada), Manitoba (Canada), and a few states along the sides. Let's go EAST. Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida. We have every warm water shipping port in The Gulf of Mexico and more oil than the Saudis ever dreamed of. California and New York can print their own money and if they want to trade they can go through Panama. We WILL protect our borders ,north and south. If you're coming to visit Texas bring your US passport with the pre-approved visitor's visa. So now instead of 51 states you got 40. Fill your boots.

The Democrats are playing a dangerous game. If the Republicans gain control of the Senate, they can start creating MANY new States, all Conservvative leaning. . Every time the Dems in the Senate play their games it backfires on them.

Ignore that constitution. Barack already told us that the Constitution is unconstitutional. So it is constitutional? So what? Dems have the voting machines, they can set up the vote however they want, the vote they want is the vote they will get, stop complaining. It does not matter what the People want. What matters is what Malignancy wants. Bai-Den Zhou has spoken, and his breath is law. D C is automatically a State. Don't argue. A truck will roll over you. Already has. Your right to protest ended Jan 20. Your freedom to assemble, your freedom of religion, your freedom of the press, any freedom you thought you had, is gone. Forever. The Commies are in charge.

If DC becomes a state, they can kiss off the large checks they are getting. Once you are a state, you fall in line with the other 50 states. Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it.

I believe that the Constitution doesn't allow this. Not that the communist/demosluts party cares about the Constitution, and apparently neither does the Supreme Court. The Constitution specifically states that the home of the federal government shall not reside in any state.

Why does anyone bother mentioning the Constitution anymore? Look who is in control of Congress and the WH. It means NOTHING to them. Look at what they have done to Trump. In the Left's minds due process doesn't exist. In about a year or so, the Dems won't even be mentioning the Constitution. Soon LE will show up at your door only on the suspicions of a neighbor, NOT because you have done anything.

If DC wants Senate representation, give all but the Federal areas back to Maryland or Virginia. However who would want them? Without the Federal part of DC, it would just be a big welfare state and financial drain on who ever got stuck with the violent cesspool that is Washington DC.

The District of Columbia is not like Alaska or the Hawaiian Islands. It is unique among American cities because it was established by the Constitution of the United States to serve as the nation's capital. Const. Art. I, Sec. 8 provides that Congress has exclusive jurisdiction over such territory ceded to it by states and and accepted by Congress for purposes of a capital. That occurred on July 16, 1790 with a passage of Residence Act accepting the cession of the swamp land ceded by Virginia and Maryland as the national capital. Because part of that land was later unused, it was retroceded (given back) under the Organic Act of 1801. Attempting now to redefine the capital's boundaries to a few square blocks and convert (not retrocede) the rest of the federal enclave into a new state would be unconstitutional and would surely end up in the Supreme Court.

OK. Here's my opinion for representation on Congress: 1 WashDC- divide the district by the Potomac River. North is counted in MD. South is counted in VA. 2 Puerto Rico and Carribean entities are counted with Florida. 3 Guam and Pacific islands are counted with Hawaii. Problem solved....You're welcome

Before DC was established, NYC was the capital. It is precisely not to give any state advantage over others that a Federal district was established. That is what the D in Washington DC means. This act will unravel the Founding contract. These people are insane!

DC was carved out of MD and VA and put under federal management, to prevent any state from having undue leverage over the national government. That reason still applies. But much like the Electoral College (whose reasons for existence also still apply), the Democrats give in to emotion and reject the rational basis. That said, the district was also intended not to be a place of residence in the first place.

Virginia and Maryland carved DC out of their two states for the purpose of providing for the seat of our national government. If Washington is to become a state, why wouldn't the land devolve back to Va and Md and go back to being parts of two states? I know why the democrats want to do otherwise but figure they'll be some hellacious court battles before the issue is decided.

A Democrat Was Exposed Committing Same Election Fraud Scheme That Trump Supporter Was Just Arrested For — No Action Is Being Taken Against Her 12 replies

News broke yesterday that the Feds arrested and indicted a Trump supporter for using the social media platform Twitter to ‘spread election disinformation’ to Hillary Clinton voters in 2016. 31-year-old Douglass Mackey, who went by “Ricky Vaughn”, was arrested in West Palm Beach on one charge of conspiracy against rights and faces up to 10 years in prison. He was charged due to memes he posted to Twitter trolling Hillary supporters to stay home and text their votes in. But, guess what.. Democrats were just caught doing the exact same thing. And she’s still walking around, scot-free. Could it be that the new Administration has a double standard for “voter fraud”?

Texans are fed up. They have had enough of the far Left turn that America has taken and they aren’t going to follow it down that path. Now a Representative in Texas has formally filed a bill that would put Texas on track to be the first state to secede from the nation. The bill filed in the Texas legislature on Tuesday would put the issue of secession and Texan independence before voters of the state. Rep. Kyle Biedermann of Fredericksburg, Texas, filed the “Texas Independence Referendum Act,” which is seen as the necessary first step towards the Lone Star State leaving the union.

As we reported two days ago, Joe Biden completely made no sense when he was trying to explain the Wuhan coronavirus relief bill. It was really bad and it explains why they’re afraid to have him deliver an address to Congress or do any kind of a real solo press conference, because at this point they have to be afraid this is all going to fall apart if he does anything live and this all becomes too obvious to the American people. But there’s only so long that they can hold this off. And it’s getting worse, as video today revealed. Biden was holding an event to announce the nomination

Nancy Pelosi’s top priority is to turn America into a one-party nation ruled by Democrats. Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again. It’s a power grab. The bill eviscerates state voting laws and forces all the states to conform to a set of rules that includes automatic voter registration. Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote. Noncitizens are obligated to identify themselves and opt out,

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.
