Ocasio-Cortez promotes DC statehood, claims 'right to vote is denied' Link Ocasio-Cortez's fellow "squad" member, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., also supported the move to make D.C. a state. Talib said she wanted to show her support with a 51-star flag for her office. | |||

Not that I’d want that … place to put two more a-full-standard-deviation-below-average-IQ pro-Communists in the Senate and however many they get for the House, but in fairness that has been a sore point for DC residents for a long time. Current DC license plates say “End Taxation Without Representation.”* Gerald Ford was ridiculed in the BS media after he proposed statehood for Puerto Rico, at least that was the excuse. The real reason as usual was that he was a Republican and any excuse was reason enough. In any event, if they made DC a state along with PR and one more—perhaps the Aleutians?—we’d be back up to an even 60. *(Originally it was just “Taxation Without Representation” and most people didn’t seem to understand what that was referring to. I knew immediately what it referenced, but if anyone had asked me for an explanation I would have just said that it described the people whom we send to Washington. They tax us, but don’t represent us very well.) ► 6.4/93.6 “Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something.” — Plato | |||

I'd be sympathetic, but the District was created and has always been maintained as an apolitical workbench for the Federal government. It seems to me that if you decide to live on a workbench (and that's often because someone is an nth-generation federal employee, not because of some kind of commitment to "the community"), then you accept that you live on a workbench. It's all too easy to cross a bridge and have yourself two senators and a congressman as a citizen of Maryland or Virginia, and it wouldn't be utterly impossible to be a citizen of Pennsylvania or Delaware if that seemed preferable. | |||

Ain't gonna happen, just like all the rest of the pie-in-the-sky BS from this twit. I just love it when she learns some little tidbit of information and then contructs an entire fantasy world around it. Children do this kind of thing. One little factoid accidentally finds its way into her cavernously empty head, and all of a sudden, she's a freakin' SME. | |||

McConnell already indicated that no such bill will be brought up for vote in the Senate, so this BS is nothing but another political play by the anti-Americans (not calling them Dem's anymore). ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom.

The founders worried that if the capital were to be a state, the members of the government would be unduly beholden to it. Madison envisioned that voting members of a D.C. state would be able to ‘insult’ or ‘interrupt’ the proceedings of government to get their way, simply by virtue of physical proximity to the halls of power. https://time.com/4296175/washi...c-statehood-history/ ____________________________________________________ The butcher with the sharpest knife has the warmest heart. | |||

DC was created from parts of Maryland and Virginia. The Virginia part was returned and became the city of Arlington. All the ideas for making DC a state include a “Federal Zone” that would include the Capital, White House and the federal buildings. In effect, the concept of a federal city would remain but shrink. There’s no reason the rest of DC could revert back to Maryland. However, Maryland likely would be happy with a huge voting block of DC. The socialist will never go for this. They want a state to have two more socialist senators and at least one socialist Congress critter. “ The work of destruction is quick, easy and exhilarating; the work of creation is slow, laborious and dull. | |||

Never once did AOC say that was not an option or that it was morally wrong. That says more than the woman's statement that it was time to start eating babies. _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."

DC is the location of the Capitol, and should not be a State. If the people living in DC (there shouldn't be any, IMHO) feel disenfranchized, then they should be allowed to vote in Maryland. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

I think it's sarcasm. Not really knowing is telling all its own. No one protesting or recognizing the "sarcasm" is also telling. ____________________________________________________ The butcher with the sharpest knife has the warmest heart. | |||

in the same sense as the 'Modest Proposal' above, perhaps we could rework the essay by agreeing to sell otherwise useless Congressional DNC minions to the foreign nationalist highest bidder, as if that would be something new. The only real difference would be the various purchasers would HAVE TO take immediate possession and remove them from the Continent. **************~~~~~~~~~~ "I've been on this rock too long to bother with these liars any more." ~SIGforum advisor~ "When the pain of staying the same outweighs the pain of change, then change will come."~~sigmonkey | |||

Sorry I was unclear (and missing a word). What I meant is that there is no way that they’ll all wake up. The best we can hope for is that a critical mass of the Dims will wake up and throw the commies out of their party. That may be almost as ridiculously optimistic as expecting that Leftist will come to their senses. We can hope, but I wouldn’t hold my breath. | |||

The "eating babies" thing- that woman is a professional-class troll. I think this is apparent. The astonishing thing about her act is that no one there batted an eye. Look at the automatons in the audience. No one even so much as raised an eyebrow. The Cortez imbecile should have shut that insane shit down immediately. Security should have escorted this woman out immediately, but nope. Anything goes. Utter and absolute insanity. Truly, these people are insane. You can't even say that they've lost their moral compass. These people appear to have never had such. If I didn't have so much contempt for them, I would feel sorry for them. My God. Pathetic. | |||
