This is very much the case in Texas, and especially in Austin. Lots of people coming in from California, as well as a lot of tech companies moving here. Austin was already a very liberal city though, so it's not we're experiencing a cultural shift of any kind. Everything is getting very expensive, though it's mainly because property values are skyrocketing. It's a textbook example of what a liberal city is really like - gentrification of several low-income neighborhoods are driving the residents further away, and we now have one of the greatest levels of income disparity in the nation.

One pearl of wisdom I picked up from the movie Yellowbeard: never trust a woman or a government.

I see now why you plagiarize others for their insults. Yours fall woefully short of pitiful.

I saw Motorhead open for Blue Oyster Cult in San Antonio in April of '94. Along with everything else, they did an impressive cover of Cat Scratch Fever.

That's a hell of a gift. She apparently thinks rather highly of you.

You use the word 'idiot' like it's a bad thing. When compared with a jellyhead like you, it's a veritable endorsement of superior intellect.

You should take a closer look at the definition of "upsets" and compare it to the meaning of the phrase "inspires hysterical laughter", Mr Godwin.

"Lord know we need more Statesmen"

Just a blowhard now, yes. But if he wins, he'll be both.

Yeah, nothing legitimizes a point of view like tossing out the Nazi card. He should change his screen name to 'Mr Godwin'.

Most of the rest of the world has trouble with the concept of the 'citizen statesman'. It shouldn't surprise anyone that people in the UK have trouble understanding why anyone would support Trump. Hell, a lot of Americans don't understand it either.

From the Twitter replies: "You should have told me before. I just renewed my pornhub subscription. Anyways, hope you are enjoying Russian fireworks."

Remember how the people who wrote and passed the ACA also exempted themselves from it? And some people still stubbornly maintain that it was good legislation, despite that the majority of Americans were against it.

Merry Christmas, or whatever the hell you like to celebrate.

Absolutely, and they're also smart enough to see it as a complete mischaracterization.

It's not needless detail to characterize something as it really is. How can an issue be properly addressed if you treat it as something it isn't?

You may wish to consider basing accusations of racism on how people treat fellow human beings of different ethnicity, rather than their opinion of civil war monuments.

I'd be interested to hear exactly who here you consider to be racist.

It's ridiculous that they call it a "gender tax".

I was thinking about that as I typed my reply earlier.

Proof of innocence is not required. The burden of proof is always on the state. Seeing a man's face "in a dream" should never be sufficient enough evidence to put someone away like that.

I'm offended by the sound of the 2nd and 4th switch positions on a Fender Stratocaster, and am actively seeking to have the Stevie Ray Vaughan statue here at Lady Bird Lake taken down.
