What sort of holiday season would it be without the opportunity to crap
on Donald Trump for Halloween, Election Day, Thanksgiving, and Kwanza? If you invited him, would Donald show up at your kids' Halloween parties and infect them all with a deadly disease? |

The boys missed you. Eternal September now? Just like Tom. |

Just carve out the federal triangle to fulfill the constitutional requirement for a federal district. (Art 1 Sec 8 (17)) It used to be that Maryland didn't want them but now the slums are creeping over the DC line into PG and near in Montgomery anyway. A lot of money has moved back into DC. Montgomery would certainly like to take everything West of the park. PG would be the tossup. North East seems to be Gentrifying and it was always fairly nice, but "Souf ese", not so much. (When my Ex had to decide which house to sell, the one in Clinton or the one she grew up in on So Dakota ave, the S.D. ave house was worth more) Puerto Rico is a whole different thing. I am not sure enough Senators would ratify that to make it happen. That is just a black hole for federal dollars and making it a state will not change that. The population there seems to vacillate back and forth every decade or two about whether they want to be a state, stay a territory or they want out completely. In 67 it was an overwhelming No vote for statehood. In 1998 it was only 46% who wanted statehood, the rest wanted something else. In 2012 61% wanted it and in 2017 77% of the people did not care enough to even vote on it. To be pragmatic, I am not sure what is in it for the US. We don't need that as a refueling spot or forward base into the South Atlantic anymore and they really hate us using the area around there for military exercises. |

The boys missed you. Eternal September now? Just like Tom. Eternal is free. I don't see any difference between it and the site I used to use. Don't know if it is good for binaries, as I don't d/l binaries. I'm just back for the election season to poke fun at Trump, his followers, and the Trumpites here. I wonder if Melanoma Trump, his wife, has her "I don't care" jacket ready for Trump's funeral. ![]() is an altered ego, of course. Trump seems to have done better than you in several ways. Shall we discuss a few? I don't recall asking for opinions from the terminally stupid, like you. -- Statehood for the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico! |

It's a matter of what is in it for the U.S. citizens who live in D.C. and Puerto Rico. D.C. has more citizens than what, four U.S. states, and PR would rank about 30th in population. All basically disenfranchised. I already said, DC could fairly easily absorbed into Maryland. Then they would raise the power of Maryland and be "franchised". I also do not feel the people of PR are necessarily entitled to be a state. How about Guam and Samoa? We actually have more national (military) interest there. |

Maryland would gain a swamp and DC would aquire the Negro Highway. Maryland loses! The reality is DC is getting richer and near in Maryland is becoming the slum because of gentrification programs almost everywhere west of the Anacostia river |
