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.

I know a lot of people are going to hate that. I don't think DC should ever be a state, that is not the purpose of carving out a "District of Columbia" in the first place. But I admire the defiance, misguided though I think it is. Here is what a 51 star flag would look like:

That one is intended to flown to support Puerto Rican statehood, which I oppose at the moment, but might be fine with if they lose their separatist faction. I'm surprised that it is symmetrical. Go figure.

I’m surprised that there is no Green Black & purple added

The District of Criminals is prohibited from being a state on purpose.

Make pretend
It’s their Number One Gig

D.C. should never become a state. But they should have proportional full representation in the House. So should Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, and USVI. That's the compromise that everyone should get on board with.

Bowser is the grand witch of the DC chapter of the New Klux Klan, i.e., BLM.
I would expect there to be some sort of violation involved in incorrect displaying of a US flag by an elected official. Sounds like insurrection. She just circumvented the constitution.

Who gives a shit. It was never meant to be a state.

Why? That's the purpose of becoming a state so I don't get the "compromise"

The compromise is that they all get full, proportional representation in the House of Representatives, but they do not become states and they do not have Senators.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Why?

Does the phrase "no taxation without representation" ring a bell?

 

[Flash]

We already know what dumbass the idiots in DC picked for their representative in the House. That moron Eleanor Holmes Norton that has an IQ of about 60 and who is filled with hate. That bitch would give Sheila Jackson Lee and Maxine Waters a run for their money as having the lowest IQ and most hate.

Can you imagine what dumbasses DC would elect as Senators?

OOOOOr we could just shrink DC down to the actual area that the government owns and return the residential areas back to MD and VA. Problem solved.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

He can just change it back to 50 and DC can have our spot.

But, the only reason to make DC a state is because leftists are losing power.

 

[Couchpotato]

Which is a problem but it's a problem of our own creation and one that's more easily solved by just returning the residential areas to MD and VA. There's no reason DC should be a state. DC exists to house Federal Government facility and functions. It's not supposed to be residential area.

 

[Polishprince]

I'd be in favor of District of Columbia statehood if they also agreed to move the capital as well.

Our founding fathers decided long ago that the capital district shouldn't be in a state.

 

[Stormy Daniels]

The government "owns" all of it.

 

[Couchpotato]

Then there shouldn't be anyone living there and thus no reason for it to be a state due to lack of representation in Congress, right?

 

[Flash]

The only purpose the Democrat filth has for DC statehood is to get two more bat shit crazy hate filled anti America Libtard Democrat Senators in Congress. It will help them achieve their destructive goal of turning the US into a Socialist shithole queer nation.

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

The compromise is that they all get full, proportional representation in the House of Representatives, but they do not become states and they do not have Senators.

No. The compromise is that they can move two miles into Maryland or Virginia and get the representation they willfully forfeited by choosing DC.
This is all a demmunist power play.
Democrat voters are retarded baboons.

I guess he doesn't understand federal law and why DC can never be a state.
