Of course Bok would be against DC statehood. He likes it when the “wrong sort of people” are disenfranchised. He likes the fact that these city-dwellers, even though there are more of them than, say, the state of Wyoming, have no representation. DC statehood has been an issue for decades, and those who live there have had taxation without representation for far too long. Bok just doesn’t like the fact the few of them are likely to vote for his fascists. So once again, Bok’s remedy is to keep people from voting (or being represented). It’s the Republican way.
There are fifty states out there that already qualify as great dismal swamps. What makes this swamp different from all the others? Oh, BOK the great republican flack says so. Not really good enough.
No worry, as long as the low population density states have sway in the Senate there will be no change … the anachronism will prevail making a mockery of our attempt to accurately represent the people in our constitutional quasi-democratic republic.
Disgraceful, Bok. I’m guessing that the fact of D.C. being only 36% “real” white is behind your racist and xenophobic toon. The swamp is 98% politicians that come from elsewhere.
Republican hypocrites always whine about “fly-over” states not getting enough attention, while leaving DC as it is is just fine with them.
make DC a state NOW and set up a committee to study how to incorporate it into Maryland and Virginia, changing state lines around the area, over the next 10 or 15 years years. . .
While EmptyBill makes his prepper compound of house trailers (carefully formed into a circle) into a state I am waiting for LA and NYC to decide that it’s finally time for their own statehood.
No doubt Montana is looking forward to its Bill-free days.
Good Lord, this will complicate a lot of politicians life if this becomes a state. How then to get those underage girls to accompany them on trips? Sheesh.
The absurdity of this is exemplified by the size of Washington DC which encompasses all about of ten square miles. Think about it. A ten square mile state. How stupid is that? This is nothing more than a power grab by the communist/Democrat party. The founding fathers never intended DC to be a state. In was supposed to be a non political city devoid of partisanship, never a state with Senators and Representatives. The people of the USA are realizing that the Dems are the party of lying, cheating, propaganda, disinformation and corruption. This is their last chance to cement their party’s power before they wind up on the ash heap of history, just like their mentors of the old Soviet Union. They’ve got their guns out and they’ll shoot anyone who gets in their way.
Matt Gaetz investigation now includes public corruption allegations
According to CNN, sources with knowledge of the investigation have revealed prosecutors working for the U.S. Department of Justice’s Public Integrity Section are trying to determine whether or not the Florida lawmaker “took gifts, including travel and paid escorts, in exchange for political favors.”
Investigators with the federal agency are now looking to uncover evidence of “potential public corruption.” Insiders also suggest that investigators are “scrutinizing Gaetz’s connections to medical marijuana, both in terms of legislation he’s sponsored and his connections to people involved in the industry, searching for so-called pay-to-play arrangements.”
The latest news comes as Gaetz faces an ongoing investigation into his alleged involvement with a 17-year-old girl. So far, multiple women have come forward with details about his alleged drug usage and wild parties. The Florida lawmaker’s ally, former Seminole County tax collector Joel Greenberg is also at the center of a scandal.
The hypocrisy is strong with this one. On the heels of the most corrupt Presidential Administrations ever, you are going to call DC’s possible Senators corrupt.
Trump didn’t drain the swamp, he stocked it with more crocodiles.
If DC residents tended to vote Republican, Republicans would be all for making DC a State – and accusing Democrats of blocking it and of not allowing DC residents full representation in the Federal government…
It’s been exactly one year since Trump suggested injecting bleach. We’ve never been the same.
It was wild in the moment. In time, it came to symbolize the chaotic nature of the presidency and the early Covid fight.
“A question that probably some of you are thinking of if you’re totally into that world,” Trump began, clearly thinking the question himself, “So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous — whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light — and I think you said that that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way, and I think you said you’re going to test that, too. It sounds interesting. And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs, and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that.”
“People joked about it inside the White House like, ‘Are you drinking bleach and injecting sunlight?’ People were mocking it and saying, ‘Oh let me go stand out in the sun, and I’ll be safe from Covid,” said one former administration official. “It honestly hurt. It was a credibility issue. … It was hurting us even from an international standpoint, the credibility at the White House.”
Umm… I feel that, in a perfect world, I shouldn’t have to ask this question: are Republicans aware that most people who live in Washington D.C. aren’t politicians or political staffers? That the vast majority are just ordinary Americans?
Washington D.C. is a city, not a swamp. The federal government could be called a swamp. But not the city that houses it.
