#2 Much easier to simply return non-Federal property to Maryland on the model of the land returned to Virginia.

#4 Don't think so Anguper. Even victims of brain damage oftentimes elicit infinitesimal signs of improvement.

#5 Ok. How about also two senators each from the "state" of Fort Drum, the "state" of Fort Bliss, the "state" of Fort Bragg, the "state" of Fort Campbell, the "state" of Fort Irwin, etc., all of which, IIUC, are bigger than D.C. in terms of land area. Nevermind that this debate was had, and settled, 230+ years ago: the New Jersey Plan vs. the Virginia Plan.

But, silly me, we're on Planet Joe. I'll just remember to fire my shotgun through closed doors, to avoid being raped by the system.

#6 ...Okay, in fairness, the Veep has a point(albeit VERY poorly stated) that women who have been assaulted often feel that they are badly handled by 'the System'. Duly noted, Mister Vice President.

But regards the State of DC, his ignorance is not only showing but it is threatening to drag him into an alley, take his wallet, and knock him about the skull. As a lifelong politician does he not realize what a state run by the most fanatically liberal idiots they could find would do if the Feds didn't give it everything it wanted? The idea of a Federal district was created EXACTLY so no one state could hold any kind of power over a national capital. A state of DC, though, would (IMHO) have no compunction whatsoever about harassing USG employees and Congress itself if it wanted something...

#7 I suppose it's redundant to state that D.C. stands for District of Columbia, it's NOT a STATE, therefore NO Senators.

Yup "Slow Joe" has brain damage.
