    D.C is Not a State. D.C has a Dem Mayor. Wow.

      @crichbra4428 The District of Columbia has a mayor-council government that operates under Article One of the United States Constitution and the District of Columbia Home Rule Act. The Home Rule Act devolves certain powers of the United States Congress to the local government, which consists of a mayor and a 13-member council. However, Congress retains the right to review and overturn laws created by the council and intervene in local affairs.

      @crichbra4428 ok... so House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and the Mayor of DC should be in COURT in place of Trump for J6.
      I am using "Your Thoery" for Who was in CONTROL of DC ON J6.
      Thanks for Commenting ;)

      @crichbra4428 oversight was Carolyn malony D from N.Y. when j6 occurred.
      Again, Your Rules, She should be in Court.

    DC never should have been given home rule, it was never intended to be such a populous hub and was always intended to be under the fed because it's the hub of the fed.

    the de, gov needs to be broken up and moved from DC. That way this area can become a state. The reason it can not is bec. the seat of national gov is HERE. it states in the constitution that the site of the fed, gov must be in a neutral place.That standard seems to apply.

    If you just listen carefully to most of the current batch of elected members of our Congress and Senate, you will hear what I can only describe using one word, as an OMAN of things to come in America... It's like this feeling of dread, that's hard to describe but impossible to ignore. I think it comes from a trending in politics and politicians as of late... where it seems to be of more importance for them to just speak for the sake of speaking. Truth, Relevance, On Topic, Off Topic, having a legitimate point, or a meaningful point about the matter at hand, is no longer even considered. The poster boy for that point is Raskin. Im not sure what ailment afflicts him, but he just really can't help himself...😅 My original point is that, We The People, elected them to their positions, and for many of them, a lot of times !!! Really, what's up with that ??? And now, as so easily predictable, we have elected ourselves, our children, their children, etc.... Into a position of do or die. That is not an exaggeration or even a stretch of the words, it is as true as any truth ever spoken ! We are now voting in the upcoming elections for our own lives and the continued existence of our country, America 🇺🇸. And again, no truer words have ever been spoken... If you don't step up and vote, Pro-American candidates into office, the current movement, perhaps defined as the Collective Left (featuring the Democrats), have a totally self-serving, America Last by any means possible, total Global Elitist Agenda, they can't wait to impose upon us. We The People and our future existence are what's really on the upcoming ballots. I say that now to point out the obvious, what is the biggest thing the Collective Left, are attempting to manipulate and alter ??? Yes, it's our Free And Fair Elections. Why do you think our borders are wide open ??? And why does the left not care about the daily murders of over 300 young Americans by Fentanyl ? Why are they racing to register 10's of thousands of these Illegal and Unconstitutional aliens to fraudulently vote in our American elections ??? Why is the Left spending on and enriching these same Illegal Aliens far beyond what they will do for our own American Veterans ??? And by the way, the government is borrowing from China (an act that will put us in a state of perpetual and never ending debt), and spending our hard earned tax dollars, to buy these Illegal and Unconstitutional votes. Can't you see, they are doing this on purpose to destroy America and the American People, to eventually, (if their successful), not to govern, but rather to, Rule Over Us.😢 🇺🇸
    Please take this as a true and provable warning about what is happening and being covered up, by our mainstream media (our news outlets). Which 90% of them just happen to be under the full editorial control of the the same, Collective Left (featuring the Democrats)... By chance or accident ? Not hardly, they have been buying up and collecting (as part of their agenda), control over the industry for well over 50 years. Our Elections and Our Votes, are the biggest legal tool we have to put an end to this. We and the people we elected to represent us, must insure that our elections stay Free and Fair... I cannot overly state stress the importance of this. Call your representation and let them know what they must do to have your vote... 🇺🇸
