MAKE MINNESOTA IOWA AGAIN

[Moral]

And a lake that Hormel and the city dumped so much waste into that it was completely void of any fish for years!

Sounds like a good swimmin lake.

You'd have some decent high school hockey again in the State. Hard to believe that Iowa is down to five communities (Des Moines, Ames, Sioux City, Waterloo and Dubuque) supporting high school hockey teams.

Cedar Rapids, Mason City, and the Quad Cities play in the Midwest Hockey League, unless you’re talking about something else?

I hope they don't come for Western Illinois. I don't want to live in Iowa again.

Iowa won't be annexing any of western Illinois as long as every other business is a pot dispensary...

I’d rather do just the opposite so I could live in a blue state without actually moving. Minnesota isn’t that stupid though.

First, what is with this stupid trend of buying/annexing/acquiring new territory? Just dumb. This nonsense is what you get when your party is led by an unserious buffoon.

Second, this is not the Iowa way. We wait for a natural river shift to create an oxbow lake then steal the exclave territory from our neighbors in an original action before SCOTUS over riparian rights. Suck it Nebraska!

Third, just in case the Constitution still matters, Art. IV, § 3, cl. 1 has something to say about this:
"New states may be admitted by the Congress into this union; but no new states shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other state; nor any state be formed by the junction of two or more states, or parts of states, without the consent of the legislatures of the states concerned as well as of the Congress."

Fourth, if we're to have war, this isn't the war I want to fight. I want to go to war with Nebraska and after we win, make them take the western third of Iowa as punishment.
