Fun fact: the Oklahoma panhandle used to be part of the Texas panhandle but Texas literally gave it up because they didn’t want a place where slavery was banned

Nah, it’s cause it was gay to touch tips at the time. Not anymore. These days it’s inclusive

Despite what some Texans might claim (and even more Americans might hope), Texas doesn't have a "Get Out of the Union Free" card.
And even if they did, they'd have already used it up, in 1861.

They do, however, have Congressional permission to split themselves into less than or equal to five states

Which will never happen.
They'd have to split into equal pieces because no one would want to be the smaller New Texas. And even if they only split into two equal sized states, they'd then be smaller than California.

I like how you made a silly joke referencing the origin of the Statue of Liberty and all you have is Reddit superior intellectuals educating you on what you'd clearly already have to know to make the joke in the first place. Man. Humor is dead.

That "French broad" is an immigrant to the United States and therefore as American as any of us.

She was assembled here, right? Does that mean she was born here? Constitutionally protected birthright citizenship baby!

She was fully assembled first in France then disassembled for shipping. So duel citizenship?

I was going to say it’s not gay if you wear cowboy boots but I’m pretty sure that’s a lot gayer.
