Trump on DC statehood-ok with him?

IJM said:

Yup. Or the rest can be given back to Maryland as a, perhaps, better alternative. The heart of the issue is that the vast majority of the District outside the downtown federal/business area is residential and not related at all to the US Government. Regular people just happen to live there.

Restore D.C.!

The borders of DC should be restored to what they were before the Retrocession. That should take out a lot of the Dem vote in VA. Remove Arlington, Alexandria, Reston, and Falls Church from VA and return them to DC. That should remove about 400,000 Dems.

I like that idea a lot! Let DC become a state, but they have to take PG, MoCo, Arlington, Alexandria, and Fairfax Co with them!

That should turn VA solid red again, and at least bring balance back to MD…

I'd still want all the DC area counties in MD and VA to take DC and form the State of Columbia.

Victory for gun-control advocates as Dems kill DC voting rights bill

House Democratic leaders have killed a bill that would have given Washington, DC a voting representative in Congress because the measure included a provision that would have wiped out the District's strict gun laws.

Drop Anne Arundel and Charles (Fauquier is questionable), and this is the closest I've found for the State of Columbia.

I don't agree with either point-giving DC statehood or annexing it to MD. We have enough dysfunction in Annapolis without adding the steaming pile of DC govt to us.
