Beat me to it. How can you “return” property to the State if the Federal ownership predates the formation of the State?
How about a new land rush, with the Federal lands auctioned off to the highest bidder? /snark

The sad truth is GOP is no longer even trying to pretend it is a governing party. They are now the party of the fake white male outrage. Their basic strategy of “splinter and conquer” for political advantage had devolved to just rage against sanity.
So in response the democratic platform should call for adding prozac to the water supply of red states. That would be a smart electoral strategy.
“Honey I don’t even remember what I was angry about…and why do I have so many guns in the basement?”

exactly. you can’t “return” land to someone/thing, that never owned it in the first place. if they’re going to return to the original owners, that would be the native American tribes, that it was stolen from. I’m pretty sure that isn’t who those states intend though.

“Return” is misplaced, if this is what the committee actually wrote, as the federal lands have never been state lands.

can we suggest that the states that used to be territories be returned to their previous status and brought back under Federal control?

Well, I claim the Grand Canyon for myself. I deserve it and want all the water rights of the Colorado River that runs though it, too. I guess that means I’ll own Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam as well?
And Trump can have Grant’s Tomb…not that Grant would share it with him. Probably would send the ghost of General Sherman to burn down Trump Tower in retaliation.

Since Republicans insist on calling it the ‘Democrat’ Party why can’t we call the Republicans the KOP (Kooky Old Party)? Or maybe the POK (Party O’ Kooks)?

They might want to build a few insane asylums there for themselves while they’re at it.

No, no and HELL NO!!! Those are FEDERAL LANDS for the enjoyment of ALL OF US. GOP? You can kiss our collective asses. You are not gonna sell, give or otherwise dispose of land that it has taken 200+ years to build up and keep for generations. Nasty twerps.

Who knew the GOP backed President Obama’s and Secretary Clinton’s call for DC statehood?

Calling on Ryan and McConnell’s caucus to do anything is useless.

They won’t pay the upkeep. They’ll sell it to the either the highest bidder, or the person with the most connections.
