POTUS Trump could simply return Arlington to the District of Columbia and easily fight fire with a bigger fire. The MSM and Dems would have a coronary.

Yet, it is completely legal and really needs to be done.

DC Really Needs Arlington Back!!

I mean, obviously, this will never happen.

But it makes fun message board fodder.

Far as I'm concerned everything's on the table,the left wants anything but fair elections and will happily do anything to make that happen. We should too.

They can have Fairfax and Eastern Loudoun while they're at it. Congrats, now you're part of DC.

Perhaps the congressional seats should be a function of the registered voters party affiliation statewide and put an end to the desire for gerrymandering.

“I mean, obviously, this will never happen.”(quote mw).

Ha ha. Exactly what Maduro and the Mullahs believed. It’s gloves off from here forward. Read your history books. Talk never creates or destroys empires; though it may be the impetus for brute force to be employed.

I mean, sure, it's on the table in the sense that somebody somewhere said something about it.

It's not on the table in terms of realistically actually happening. Similar to the judge from Tazewell.

Yesterdays results will stick. It is what it is.

You must know POTUS Trump personally if it is that obvious.

Why don't you illustrate to us that you're not a crazy person, basic litmus test here.

Give me a percentage chance (in your mind) this actually happens. Whatcha got???

He should absolutely do this. That area was retrocessed back to Virginia in 1847 to protect slavery when DC abolished it.


It’s has a pretty good selling point built in. Good luck opposing giving back land to the capitol that was illegally and unconstitutionally retrocessed to protect slavery

It's a guaranteed slam dunk. Plus, I get angry everytime I look at the NE map of the USA to realize how many democratic reps and senators are in our Congress from such a small area of the country!

Arlington is in Fairfax County. Virginia has a unique Independent City vs County thing. If you’re an Independent City, you’re not part of the County. There is a Fairfax City that isn’t part of Fairfax County. Unique to that state. Fairfax and Alexandria are Independent Cities. Arlington is not.
