Land for Peace? Will Vivek Ramaswamy Propose Giving Texas to the Drug Cartels for Their Promise Not to Send Any More Drugs Into the Rest of the U.S.?

@LeopoldBloom Annexation without consent is invasion at worst, colonialism at the least. Neither bodes well.
We cant even allow Puerto Rico to gain statehood or DC.

@JSul3 Naturally, they would have to agree first. Although Hawaii's admission is somewhat controversial as there is some question as to whether it was done correctly and if Hawaii could legally return to being an independent country.

The last time this came up for a vote, a majority In Puerto Rico chose statehood. The only thing stopping it is a Republican filibuster as it would potentially add two Democratic senators and four House members, although it's not certain. I've heard analysis that it could be a 50/50 split between the two parties, but the Republicans don't want to risk that it won't be. Washington DC has wanted to be a state for a long time, and of course that would definitely add more Democrats to Congress.

@LeopoldBloom Were roles reversed, rest assured that the Republicans would be all in on statehood for both...and even nixing the Electoral College.

@windinhishair

Might work. He might talk them to death.

@beckyromero Kind of like playing Barry Manilow or Billy Ray Cyrus on loudspeakers to keep teenagers from assembling on streetcorners.

@Burnley123

He's already saying he'd like to run the country like Musk runs Twitter.

@beckyromero He'll change the name of America to 'X' because

@Diotrephes He is Trump 2.0....but will gladly take the VP slot.

@JSul3 Right now I see him as a version of DeSantis, or someone who wants to destroy the country. It woud be a serious disaster if he ever became any part of the government.

@JSul3 Vivek is gunning for a cabinet post. He's basically the evil Pete Buttigieg.

@TrashCat True, but he has the same IQ as the rest of the Repubs, 17.
