Yep, Texas is the only one that can, and secede as well, without war...

Correct me if I'm wrong but this would require a Constitutional Amendment, yes?

Good. Beautiful beach front property is at an all time low. However, there are still significant challenges with buying property there.
Having them a state will require lenders to follow US federal banking laws, making a purchase much easier and less risky.
frick it... everyone on the left is all about, "Gimme my free shite!!" I won't go as far as looking for free stuff, but I will start viewing things as, "how can I make this work to my advantage?"

Is this where we pretend like the government is going to let Texas split or secede because of some agreement it signed in 1845?
0% chance.

Now there's a government I really want to be in a union with!

Of course, 40 years have passed - and the 5' 2" and lusciously stacked is probably 5'1" and 300#.. and who knows, she is likely on food stamps in the barrio.. That cancelable? Ah, dont give a shite.. never forgot the 80s version of her.

Good for them. How many of the hundred trillion + in unpaid liabilities are they in for now?

Why was Hawaii made a state while other US territories have not been?
Seriously asking; never researched it.

We should grant Puerto Rico their independence. I thought Imperialism was bad.

That would require the SCOTUS overturning White v Texas to even begin to be possible.

If they know it would fail, why would they pursue it?

The military strategic value, like the Pearl Harbor base.

As much as I'd like this to be true, neither Sinema or Manchin will vote for statehood. It'd be a death sentence for their political futures.

d.c. more likely
48% of Puerto ricans oppose.
I'll give you odds.
5 to 1 against p.r. before 2022 election.
2 to 1 for d.c before 2022 election.
