Requires a 2/3 vote from all the states to change the Constitution, doesn't it?
More Dem fuquing virtue signaling to fire up their base.

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

Rule #5 being implemented.
In May 1919, at Dusseldorf, Germany, the Allied Forces obtained a copy of the “Communist Rules for Revolution.” 1. Corrupt the young: get them away from religion. Get them interested in sex. Make them superficial; destroy their ruggedness. 2. Get control of all means of publicity. Get peoples’ minds off their government by focusing their attention on athletics, sexy books, plays and other trivialities. 3. Divide people into hostile groups by constantly harping on controversial matters of no importance. 4. Destroy the peoples’ faith in their natural leaders by holding the latter up to contempt, ridicule and . (speak against, condemnatory utterances) 5. Always preach ;true democracy; but seize power as fast and as ruthlessly as possible. 6. By encouraging government extravagance, destroy its credit; produce fear of inflation, rising prices and general discontent. 7. Foment strikes in vital industries; encourage civil disorders and foster a lenient and soft attitude on the part of government toward these disorders. 8. By special argument cause a breakdown of the old moral virtues; honesty, sobriety, continence, faith in the pledged word, ruggedness. 9. Cause the registration of all firearms on some pretext with a view of confiscation of them and leaving the population helpless.

The constitution only requires a majority in each house, not 2/3. In the past it took other acts of congress, too, but I'll bet they bypass that.

Changes to the Constitution require ratification by a super majority of the states. That is why the ERA died. They never got the required number of states to ratify.
But I do not know that DC as a state is a Constitutional issue, or a legislative issue.
How was DC identified as the Capitol?

If the Senate did the right thing, probably 2/3 would turn themselves in for felonies, resign, or jump in the Patomic

Google says DC was established in 1790 as decreed in COTUS. If that is correct, it sounds like a constitutional amendment would be the qualifying event to make it a state.

Unrelated to the constitution. Wrong. The Constitution requires the seat of the govt to be unattached to any single state. That is why they carved out the section from MD and VA as a district outside of state control. The seat of the govt cannot be its own state. Now, they can reduce the size of the district and allow the left over area to do something but the original agreement was if they did that the land in question would revert back to the original states. So people can find themselves residents of VA or MD rather than DC and that would not change the make up of the senate. Granted the above requires the DEMs to adhere to the original agreement and we all know they won't do that.
You get out of life what you are willing to accept. If you ain't happy, do something about it!

All they have to do is split the district. Leave the 10% of it with all the federal buildings as the seat of government and 90% as a new state. They have it all figured out. It would be our only purely welfare state...until they admit Puerto Rico.
