What an amazing place this is!

I'm in Fort Worth, Texas, surrounded by Trumpers, so it's very nice to discover like-minded individuals. Fort Worth is great - except for all the Trumpers.

I'm so glad you're here. DU is a wonderful place. Of course, being among like-minded people is really great, but aside from the political, there's something for everybody. There's always someone here 24/7/365, to listen, to give advice, to share their point of view, to commiserate, to sympathize, to congratulate, to educate, to entertain, etc. I can't say enough good things about DU; I truly believe this site is the best site on the internet and the people here are the greatest. I know you will feel at home here.

She's in the arts, and works for the State, and she says she loves it all the same.

I recall attending a scientific conference in Houston a while back where one of the welcoming committee, a gay black man, gave the conference attendees a talk stating that Houston is a place where decency matters to many in the city.

Thank you for joining us. We're with you.

Now, with lots of development and short term rentals, it went 70% for Trump three times!
