        He’s gone so far down the rabbit hole that he can only cum if it’s illegal, so if he makes everything illegal, his life gets loads easier

        And ban premarital sexting which I can’t figure out if it’s more funny or horrifying. Definitely both though

    Sad that there is such contention on which national embarassment this is referring to.

      Interestingly enough, slavery.

      When Texas sought to enter the Union in 1845 as a slave state, federal law in the United States, based on the Missouri Compromise, prohibited slavery north of 36°30’ parallel north. Under the Compromise of 1850, Texas surrendered its lands north of 36°30’ latitude. The 170-mile strip of land, a “neutral strip”, was left with no state or territorial ownership from 1850 until 1890. It was officially called the “Public Land Strip” and was commonly referred to as “No Man’s Land.”

      There is an excellent show “How the States got their Shapes” that explains the history of all states.

      Fun fact: Chicago was in Michigan but they extended the Illinois border to connect them to the lakes and keep them with the union states.

        Thanks! I’ll check it out.

        The first 13 states and a bit westwards: let’s really make this right and detailed!

        After a while: another state joining!? sigh, just give me a ruler and a pen

          Also explained in that show. The borders are rough on the East because they were based on rivers and geographic features. As we moved West we invented and introduced railroads and those became our new borders hence the squareness.
