I live in Austin Texas. Been in Texas 2/3 of my life. Never seen that "rip-off" flag before. But according to a quick Google search it's the Texas Navy flag not the national flag. Just FYI.
The part about Mexico taking the time off. It seems many times Mexico once again took the time to concentrate on Texas that things did not go the way the Texans would have liked. If Texas had not become a US state more then likely Mexico would have taken control once again. In the end, the US more then likely knew Texas would become a state. After all, it was full of US citizens that had settled there for the free land.

The US Senate was intended to serve that role, but ever since the adoption of the 17th Amendment to the US Constitution (direct election of US senators), it has largely lost that role.
I mean, it wasn’t *just* a cessation of conflict. We didn’t just “take it as a win”. We got General Santa Anna to sign a peace treaty after the Battle of San Jacinto, and then when he got back to his seat of power he just recanted. Iirc, it was something about Texas not being a sovereign region and therefore the peace treaty was void, since in Mexico’s view they weren’t at war with an independent power but were putting down a particularly large-scale, well-organized, and surprisingly effective insurrection. But we *did* have his signature on a treaty that recognized Texas as sovereign territory, so it was kinda mixed messages.

For instance, there is a bunch of “plenipotentiary representative offices” in Moscow. For federal republics mostly. Even funnier fact: It does work in both ways, meaning that federal center can have its representatives in the capital cities of its subjects.

Fun fact: Florida has something similar called the Florida House, which is a self described “State Embassy” in Northeast, near the Supreme Court. At the Florida House, people can visit and get a free glass of orange juice, among other important things.
Contrary to popular belief, however, the State of Florida has no involvement with the foundation running the Florida House.
Funnier fact: some federations have representatives and envoys present in their capital, these representatives are real and able to make binding decisions. For instance, there is a bunch of “plenipotentiary representative offices” in Moscow. For federal republics mostly.
Even funnier fact: It does work in both ways, meaning that federal center can have its representatives in the capital cities of its subjects.
if a legation was essential the same as an embassy, to the point that the government decided to ditch having to words, one could say that you didn't outright lie because you were simply using an approved word for the concept which is the point and not the actual word. You told a half truth.

I just came from watching binging with babish and I'm feeling faintly attacked.
That was the best segue ever in the history of ever. Bravo!
Liked for the binging with babish reference. Everyday the internet comes closer together.

I love your sarcastic way, with a grin on your face way, of calling them out.
I like your style mister! Thank you for your excellent content, delivered in such few minutes...I sometimes have to stop and rewind, you speak very fast for someone who's native language isn't English lol!. Namaste. C.
