I'm not cool with that. DC is the capital. Clean it out good. Power wash that swamp smell out with a high end rug steamer if you have to. But its still our capital.
Oh I'm sure we'll take it back militarily. But perhaps the American people have to realize that that precious square of land has been controlled by foreigners for some time. It hasn't been properly our capital. We would have to reconquer it both kinetically and legally, take out the trash, and then move our capital back into this sacred place. That's what I was thinking.
You know, if this president can move the capital of Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, why can't he move the capital of America from a corrupt DC to someplace more appropriate for a time? If there's one thing that's true, it's that DC just showed the people that they do not care to represent us. It's devolved to a raw grab of totalitarian power, a cancer that needs a surgical removal.
OMG, tomorrow really is Ben Franklin's birthday - 310! What is weirder is that under the old style calendar in use during colonial times, it was January 6th.
It's only a tradition because we've always done it. Not because it's the best thing. We could move it, start over, and once everyone realized the dark deeds committed in DC? They might WANT to stop using it as the pinnacle of political power in our nation.
When you think on it, our nation IS red state. A red state could host.
We've had several American capitals. They include Philadelphia, Washington DC, and Confederate capitals at Montgomery, Alabama; Richmond, Virginia; and Danville, Virginia.

Fair enough. :)
"You have more than you know."
"You have a republic, if you can keep it."
We'll keep it, Ben. And happy birthday.

I'm quite liking Boise these days.
Though...I wouldn't wish that on Boise now I think on it.
