LOL. I had to translate 南馬里蘭州鮑伊
Well, Crofton is just up the road... Or, as an incorporated city, Bowie could request to be annexed by AACO. Not sure if our county council would approve, though.
Trump on DC statehood-ok with him?

We tried that about 20 years ago. AA Co was for it (more lovely tax $$$ and D votes), but PG wouldn't let us go.
DAMMIT!!!!!
Make the beltway the state line. Everything inside the beltway becomes part of the 51st state. It would take the worst parts of pg and the limousine liberals from Bethesda Arlington and Alexandria. It would leave a lot of the normal thinking parts of the rest of those counties in their original states

How about making the beltway an international border, liberating everything inside it from the U.S. and relocating our nation's capital city to, say, North Dakota or Texas. Let the newly-formed nation of New Columbia find something other than tax receipts and running other people's lives to drive its economy.

Sounds like not enough people know why Article I Section 8 was put in the Constitution
Article I Section 8
You've got to be effing kidding. This is the town that wanted to build a municipal pool that would be used mostly by DC residents...

I've been arguing for years that this would be a better solution. Sort of kidding, sort of not. I guarantee you it would turn around the DC public schools within a generation.
To be fair, there are more whites on the DC Council than blacks, if that's what you're getting at.

DC residents, and not just the unemployed -- K Street lobbyists, too -- already live off the rest of the country's taxes.
They probably should be double-taxed.
And no representation? They're the only ones who ARE represented. The rest of us are professionally and systematically ignored. Message to D.C. residents: "Representation" is vastly overrated.

As a DC resident, I'd happily take no taxes over representation.
But as far as Article 1 Section 8 - it doesn't define the borders of the federal district. The feds can just keep the section of land from the Capitol to the White House, and the rest can be separated into a state.

I am interested in more information to this claim. Can you provide some details to your claim?
There was indeed a bill in congress last year to give DC a voting representative but it had a gun bill attached as a rider. DC declined to accept it. Blame Eleanor Holmes Norton for that.
I don't have the specifics but Google would turn it up.

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.
Article I Section 8 also says existing state boundaries cannot be changed without the consent of the state legislature involved. Not even MD would want SE DC.

Split it along US50, then throw both halves away.

I know a lot of liberal idiots who would be happy to have more D voters in MD at any cost.
