Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser on Monday ordered 51-star American flags to be displayed along Pennsylvania Avenue ahead of Flag Day, June 14. The mayor said she directed her team to hang the 51-star flags "as a reminder to Congress and the nation that the 700,000 tax-paying American citizens living in Washington, D.C. demand to be recognized. "On Flag Day, we celebrate American ideals, American history, and American liberty. But the very foundation of those ideals, and the basis for our liberty, is representation," Mayor Bowser said in a statement. "DC’s disenfranchisement is a stain on American democracy - a

Hey, I can compromise. How about this? For purposes of Senate and House representation, the US Citizens who are permanent residents of the District of Columbia will be considered citizens of the State of Maryland and will be able to vote for the Senators for that state and they will be apportioned for Congressional districts as if they were part of the State of Maryland. And hey, I'd even let them add a 436th member to Congress (of course, removing the "Delegate" for the District of Columbia/

Desecration of the American flag by an elected official. The same yo -yo that had black lives matter painted on the streets of DC. No, altering our flag is not " free speech ". SPEECH is speech, desecrating/altering/changing our flag is not speech.

In fact, since it's not a state, jury members should never be selected from among it's citizens.

DC is the District of Columbia and not a state. Figure it out.

Please excuse this second post. " DC is a solitary city, created by the government, whose reason for existing both in terms of jurisdiction and economy is beholden to governmental interests". Of course the dems want it to be a state to gain to dem senators. Pure politics, they don't a fig about the people.

Misuse of Federal Funds and property(DC IS a federal location, is federally funded) for unconstitutional and partisan political purposes. MIS-Using City/District, Federal employees to put then up. As well as desecration of the US Flag in a protest/lobbying effort on a National Holiday meant to HONOR the Actual/Real Flag..

Give them back to Maryland and Virginia we don't need to give cities statehood status. They are not supposed to be particularly political. I say move the Federal Capital to the geographic Center of the USA. Maybe around St Louis or KC.

In DC our flag is now a bumper sticker. How perfect is that?

No way in hell should DC be given the rights of statehood. I like the idea of 'returning' the DC residents to Maryland or Virginia - at age 18 they can choose one or the other as their permanent voting residency while they live in DC. I like even more the notion that much of DC be moved elsewhere altogether. Spread the 'wealth' of federal bureaucratic spending across the USA instead of concentrating it in DC and the surrounding 'burbs. Even better would be defunding much of the federal apparatus but that is another battle for another day.

OK, now everybody gets a crack at shooting that star off the flag! Lock and load high capacity magazines into your AR-15 black guns!

The Press Secretary's girl friend did what? Both of them don't have enough intelligence to organize a bubble bath for that poor child who lives with them.

Uhmmm...did these people not KNOW what the status of DC was when they moved there? If they want to be able to vote for a Senator they need only move 5 miles."Issue Solved"

I'm Black so according to the racist Black left I can't be racist so I'm in the clear when I ask this question. Which one of this Black female mayors is the most idiotic. Muriel Bowser of DC, London Breed of San Francisco, Lori Lightfoot of Chicago or Kiesha Lance Bottoms of Atlanta. All of them have been pathetic leftist hypocritical hacks especially during the plandemic but my money's on Bowser with Lightfoot a close second.

Another stupid stunt by this woman. The constitution clearly spells out DC's status. It is Not a state and never will be.
