         Like... Sees a dog, and her -=immediate=- reaction is to shoot[*] it? - (CRConrad) - (30) - June 3, 2021, 07:14:12 AM EDT
             I'm glad the dog is okay - (crazy) - (1) - June 3, 2021, 09:28:35 AM EDT
                 Context matters, too - (drook) - June 3, 2021, 10:49:23 AM EDT

                 Texans are Americans. Invite them to use their secession option, or own them. -NT - (CRConrad) - (26) - June 3, 2021, 01:26:53 PM EDT
                     My plan is . . . . - (Andrew Grygus) - June 3, 2021, 06:32:37 PM EDT
                     The first has been prohibited since the Civil War - (malraux) - (16) - June 4, 2021, 10:02:52 AM EDT
                         No, the other meaning of "own": This is your mess, own it. - (CRConrad) - (15) - June 5, 2021, 11:50:26 AM EDT
                             Yeah, I knew what you meant. - (malraux) - (14) - June 5, 2021, 04:04:51 PM EDT
                                 Yeah, I still don't get that. The French are not in a Union with Turkey, and didn't elect Erdogan. -NT - (CRConrad) - (13) - June 5, 2021, 04:39:33 PM EDT
                                     The EU and the US are not (yet) analogous -NT - (pwhysall) - June 6, 2021, 12:45:31 AM EDT
                                     Ah, thought they had been ratified. Hungary then. - (malraux) - (11) - June 6, 2021, 04:39:21 PM EDT
                                         Don't forget the Vermont Republic ;-) -NT - (scoenye) - June 6, 2021, 11:18:12 PM EDT
                                         EU Law is really quite optional - (pwhysall) - (2) - June 7, 2021, 02:01:09 AM EDT
                                             As I said, the US has no mechanism for states to leave on their own - (malraux) - (1) - June 7, 2021, 09:25:16 AM EDT
                                                 Yeah, so get back to us with your as-of-now-false equivalence in a couple hundred years. -NT - (CRConrad) - June 7, 2021, 11:21:10 AM EDT
                                         You've got your levels mixed up. - (CRConrad) - (6) - June 7, 2021, 11:19:34 AM EDT
                                             Well, I have noticed the regression of Turkey. - (a6l6e6x) - (5) - June 7, 2021, 09:05:29 PM EDT
                                                 from the news reports it is now a thugocracy as opposed to a theocracy - (boxley) - (4) - June 8, 2021, 02:16:39 PM EDT
                                                     I'm with BOx, except one small edit: A thugocracy albeit (rather flimsily) *disguised as* theocracy. -NT - (CRConrad) - (1) - June 9, 2021, 05:50:23 AM EDT
                                                         Hasn't that been true of most of them? -NT - (drook) - June 9, 2021, 09:17:56 AM EDT
                                                     Whenever Turkey is in the news, it's always worse than we thought. - (Another Scott) - June 9, 2021, 12:29:13 PM EDT

                     Texans are a subset of Americans - (lincoln) - (7) - June 4, 2021, 04:32:17 PM EDT
                         But, they can split into 5 states, if I recall correctly. -NT - (a6l6e6x) - (5) - June 4, 2021, 10:44:14 PM EDT
                             Oh, was that theirs? I may have misremembered the option. Thanks! -NT - (CRConrad) - June 5, 2021, 11:43:50 AM EDT
                             Ironically, that limit does not apply to other states - (scoenye) - (3) - June 5, 2021, 11:15:26 PM EDT
                                 As I got it, this was a boon, not a limit: Up to 5, Texas can just do it - it's pre-approved. -NT - (CRConrad) - (2) - June 6, 2021, 11:31:03 AM EDT
                                     It applied to the Republic of Texas - (scoenye) - (1) - June 6, 2021, 11:11:10 PM EDT
                                         If Californians keep moving to Texas . . . - (Andrew Grygus) - June 7, 2021, 02:15:59 AM EDT
                         Yes, that's what "Texans are Americans" means. Welcome to remedial first-grade English. -NT - (CRConrad) - June 5, 2021, 11:45:17 AM EDT
