Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Going right back to the McMahons with this one. Vince has been outed as a serial rapist repeatedly. Still calls Greenwich, CT his home-sweet-home.
Nevermind four prominent Connecticut residents, none of whom have been charged with a crime.
The Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex covers approximately 9,286 square miles, making it larger than Rhode Island and Connecticut combined, with 8,991 square miles of land and 295 square miles of water
They have many of the same damned people. From the Bush Family transplants back in the 1960s to the Frontier Communications CEO who relocated his firm just a few years ago. New Englanders have been flooding into the Gulf Coast for my entire life. I know because my family was part of the big Exxon wave that came down in the 80s. Most of my friends and neighbors were from families originally in Chicago or Massachusetts or California.
Cities like Austin and San Antonio keep sucking in the world's worst billionaires, from Mark Cuban to Elon Musk. Coastal freaks from the right-wing shitholes of academia and business have absolutely ruined the state, buying it up and mutating it into whatever Ronald Reagan and Ayn Rand dreamed up together a generation ago.
I give CT hell, but you can go anywhere that's got money and find rich assholes scrambling to pay a slightly smaller tax bill who come down here in waves. Texas has been outright colonized but coastal fucks.
That definition goes all of the way to Oklahoma, but you miss my point. Even in an area smaller than the state of Connecticut you get insanely different cultures. The point being, you can't say that all of Connecticut is the same because it is smaller than Texas.
But serious if you only argument is the fact that Vince McMahon lives here then like I said, I'll take it, over the fuck sticks Nazis living in Texas.
Have fun in the Texas heat. I'm going to take my dog for a walk in one of the 2 free state parks within 10 minutes of me, in 80 degree weather. Goodbye
It also seems worth noting that none of the shitty people he mentioned are elected officials in CT. "A terrible person lives in state x" doesn't really reflect poorly on the rest of the populace the same way electing that person to represent and have power over you does.
Strangely enough, you're getting the brunt of it this year. Maybe consider going carbon neutral some time before it's too late, since you're all liberals up there who will definitely do that... eventually.
