SyNack Sassimov posted: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?

Trapick posted: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.

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.

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

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?
