Back when I was in school they said 50 states make up the US but I recently listened to our beloved president (who is sure to know this basic fact) and he seems to know something I don't. Have we added more states without me hearing about it?
I am not sure what it is you heard but I do know that there are 50 US states and that has not changed since the last two joined the union in 1959.
There are fifty (50) states and Washington D. C. The last two states to join the Union were Alaska (49th) and Hawaii (50th). Both joined in 1959.
Most people assume that Washington D. C. is a state but it isn't. It is not the constitution wanted the area where the federal government was to be on a neutral ground. So congress took out a area of land not to exceed 10 square miles and seated our Government their. The reason for his is they did not want any State that bordered the area to have the idea that they had more stake in the land than the next one did. So they mapped the area out and put into the constitution that this land was now neutral and not part of the United States of America that is was the District of Columbia

What he’s referring to is the fire sale that’s going to take place once the red title wave happens in a few days. When they have nothing to lose they’re just gonna burn it all down. One of the big pushes that they are going to ram through is Puerto Rico state hood, DC state hood, and probably break California into at least two dark blue states. Because they’re going to gerrymander northern California into still being blue.
I think someone forgot to sew more stars on the flag.

Since DC is heavily democrat there is a push to make it the 51s state so they can be guaranteed two democrat senators. Statehood for PR has been suggested as well so the democrats get two more senators.
just like they were hoping to pack the Supreme Court by making it 13 seats instead of 9 during Biden’s reign to guarantee 4 additional seats by progressive anti constitution judges.
Biden is a idiot. We have some territories that aren’t states. But Biden does not know what the fuck he is talking about. Let’s go Brandon!
Obama said we have 57 states and Biden said it was 54. The real number is 50. I doubt that those two geniuses can count that high.
I know you're going for 50, though if you wanna get technical, Mexico, Brazil, India and Australia also have "states", so you could technically say over 100
We have 50 States as long as I know
54 according to Brandon.
51 because israel is the 51th one
48 in the US. 2 others outside so 51
Fifty two.
