I could have sworn it requires a 2/3 vote in both houses to ratify a new state.
The next vote is the Senate, which requires 60 votes (due to filibuster rules). That seems unlikely in the 50-50 senate, even taking the RINO's into account.
There's, unfortunately, no such high bar to reach. Congress can admit a new state using a simple majority if they wanted to.
What's also unfortunate is that the Democrats control the Senate and I would not put it past them to ignore the rules to pass this with a simple majority. Assuming the squishes don't side with the Democrats, they've pretty much got it in the bag.
Their hunger for power knows no bounds; they'll do whatever they want and no one is going to stop them.
(Also note that they only have that majority because they stole at least two Senate seats in the 2020 elections and run-offs).
This is just ridiculous at this point. The monkeys are running the circus and they are going to burn it to the ground. I don’t even know what to think anymore.
I pray you're right, but on the other hand: have you been sleeping since Nov 4, 2020? If so boy have I got a long story to tell you about politics now post Trump.
Well, I need to hear more of this for sure. I love the heck outta my country and to see it devolve into what's happening now is sickening. My 20 years of military service feels moot now. So many brain dead people, it can get frustrating at times. Thank you for the positive and encouraging words fren!
Yesterday Biden actually said "enjoy the rest of the show". Trump mentioned 17 in his Hannity interview and still refuses to talk about 2024. I think that what we are seeing is just that... a show. Designed to wake up people who are still asleep. I could be wrong but things seem far too weird for the Democrats to be in control of all branches of government.
I feel you there. Today I got into an argument on Facebook with not one but two idiots who were saying that I was paranoid for thinking our rights were being taken away. Sometimes it gets so frustrating that I almost want them to have to live through communism so they can see how wrong they are, but then I think better of the idea and I just hope that they can see the error of their ways when the storm is done.

I don't think this will pass the Senate.

I've been wide awake since November 4, 2020. So far the Senate hasn't really done too much damage.
Also I think that white hats are in control of the situation.

No problem!
