Texas does not. They make up tons of nonsense about themselves. Like how their flag is the only one that can fly at the same height as the U.S. Every state flag can.
Or how they voluntarily joined. They were annexed. Their request to join was refused- then they were annexed.
Article IV, Section 3, of the United States Constitution expressly prohibits any other state from dividing up and forming smaller states without congressional approval.
Opponents also argue that the statute has also been overridden and rendered moot by later legislation that was enacted by Congress, the Act which admitted Texas into the Union as a state. The text of the subsequent Texas Admission Act, signed on 29 December 1845, states that Texas would be admitted to the Union “on an equal footing with the original States in all respects whatever,” which moots any supposed special right for Texas to divide itself up into five states without the future approval of Congress in accordance to Article V, Section 3, of the US Constitution.[3]
Can they annex Wisconsin too, please? Minnesota seems to be in good hands, as does Illinois, but the badger state is in danger. I won’t object to crossing an international border for work on a daily basis!
Mmmmm…bacon!
“The Republican Party has never really fallen into the category of ‘representation matters.’ Our strength comes from diversity, but that is not our bumper sticker slogan. We’re not going to nominate Black folks for the sake of nominating Black people,” the Republican operative said.
That’s just wrong. They have always (since the 60’s, anyway) believed that white male representation was very, very important, and nothing else really was. Leopards feasting on faces that are very surprised to be on the menu.

The quote post(video):
I would definitely fight on the side of Canada.
I’m not a good American, I guess. I always thought the Revolutionary War was a bad idea and a waste of time.
So that would be what, more or less the fourth kick at that particular can?
Sigh…
Let me guess, muster at dawn at Fort Drum?
Imagine Trudeau and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum as new parents, dealing with a colicky infant. First it was Sheinbaum on parental duty, calling a tantruming Trump to soothe him off to dreamland again. But all too soon the screaming and wailing resumes.
“Whose turn is it?” a sleepy Trudeau groans.
“Your turn,” mumbles Sheinbaum.

Dr. Steve hates reruns but that’s what we are enduring. Once again we must sit through a real-life version of that classic 1961 Twilight Zone episode “It’s a Good Life,” in which a petulant little boy who possesses supernatural powers must be placated by all, lest his childish wrath be unleashed.
I can already play hockey and go ice fishing. I love poutine. Just sayin’.
That’s well put.
Tired: sell Puerto Rico buy Greenland
Wired: Annex Canada
It’s fine though; he wasn’t morning drinking, he was still drunk from last night.
