But that aside, it is literally the modern parallel of "no taxation without representation", i.e. one of the rallying cries of the original 13 colonies, and there's no good / non-rear end in a top hat reason for it not to achieve statehood (or PR, since they also want statehood).

Ever seen a DC license plate?

It's a combo of racism and general "we don't want more D senators". And the current bill I'm pretty sure gives statehood to like, the metro area of DC (which has 5 million people, 10 times more than Wyoming) and makes a separate area for the White House, the Capitol Building, etc. which is its own thing and not part of any state.

The DC State would only be the land in the District of Columbia, of which the population is a much more modest 690k. It is more people than the entire state of Wyoming, but not even by a factor of 2 (only 120k or so).

Remove statehood from the Dakotas, Montana and Wyoming, turn them back into territories. Don’t cross me, Idaho.

Oh, interesting, didn't realize. Why don't the Republicans suggest rolling the actual District into one of the adjacent states then? Then bam, they have representation, but doesn't change anything.

There's even precedent for that. Arlington and Alexandria were parts of DC until 1846 when they were ceded to Virginia.

Is Home Depot's headquarters in Georgia? This is literally the first time I've ever heard of people calling for a boycott of Home Depot.

Boycott's are mostly pointless now anyways.

Oh, I haven't had a reason to go to Home Depot in a while anyways, but if something comes up I'll go somewhere else.

I should have guessed it was being organized by actual people if Shapiro was upset about it.

Just because Liquor's dead, doesn't mean you can just roll this bitch all over town with "The Freedoms."

Ben Shapiro looked disgusting--nipples protruding--in his green shirt before Home Depot. Very very disrespectful.

Do wrestling announcers know what the script is gonna be ahead of time? Like when the one guy brought a milk truck and doused everyone in milk, did the ringside announcers know that was gonna happen?

Like Terrence clearly made mistakes I would never higher window guys that showed up on my doorstep, or if I did I wouldn't pay them a cent until all of the work was done. But you don't need to be a dick about it Alan.
