Tyranny in Action By Charles Taylor
America in its collapse is giving a real time show of how in the final stages of empire absolute corruption rules the political class. Thus, not only are Democrats stacking the Supreme Court, but they are making Washington DC, District of Corruption, into a state. It will be the evillest of states.
“The House passed the “Washington, D.C. Admission Act” Thursday to make the U.S. capital the 51st state.
The bill passed 216-208 along party lines after over 90 minutes of debate on the House floor, CNBC reported.
House Resolution 51, sponsored by D.C. Democratic Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, was previously approved by the House Oversight and Reform Committee by a party-line vote of 25-19, according to The Hill.
The legislation carves out parts of D.C. — largely federal buildings and national monuments — as the nation’s capital while turning the rest of the city into its own state.
The 51st state would be called “Washington, Douglass Commonwealth,” in honor of former abolitionist Frederick Douglass.
House Democrats argued passing the bill would give full federal representation to Washington, D.C., residents, according to CNBC.
“The House will finally address this unjust, unequal and undemocratic situation,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said.
Arizona Republican Rep. Andy Biggs said the legislation is really about “Democratic partisanship, Democrat power, Democrat policy, Democrat progressive issues.”
House Oversight Committee Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney, however, said “It is outrageous that Republicans would play partisan politics just to block 712,000 Americans from having full equality in our democracy.”
Bottom of Form
The Biden administration issued a statement Tuesday in support of the bill that would add two seats to the Senate and one to the House.
“For far too long, the more than 700,000 people of Washington, D.C. have been deprived of full representation in the U.S. Congress,” the statement said.
“This taxation without representation and denial of self-governance is an affront to the democratic values on which our Nation was founded.”
The appropriate response is for red states to follow the lead of Texit and breakup the disgustingly corrupt United States of America. Make it Disunited States.
