    Texas keeps electing these corrupt pedo protectors

    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.

    And by the way, CT does not fit in Dallas city limits

    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

    Now tell me Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, and Denton all have the same economics, culture, and demographics.

    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.
