Dear Connecticut young men: Don't get deep into debt; Don't pursue women who want to emasculate you; Don't run to deep red states because it is easier; Don't waste your lives. This state needs you. Even if it does not know it yet. You are the last, best chance of liberty.

@ayeejuju He's got a 50/50 chance of being right.

@CommentaryCrus2 Fact check: False. The Defense Authorization Act, 2009, says veterans (that would be your VP and Sec of War) and active duty (traditionally the POTUS is treated as military for purposes of military customs and courtesies - See non-vet Biden above) may render hand salutes.

No. Also, you don’t salute in civilian clothes.

@austinmmonteiro I'm down.

@ThomWoods Congress

Two years ago today I received the great honor and responsibility & endorsement as the Republican candidate for State Representative of the 110th District.

@raven_brah People think television is history. Not a Boomer but I can promise daily fast food was not a thing.

Boomers seem to forget that fast food used to be a normal, everyday expense for them because it was affordable. You could get a burger easily on minimum wage, it wasn’t some fancy treat you had once a year as a reward for pulling yourself up by your bootstraps.

@Mbakaza4L In America, some people are stupid. I saw a young woman pulling into her driveway. There were fruit trees in her front yard, untended, full of fruit, most of it rotting under the trees. She opened her car and pulled plastic bags of that fruit out that she bought at the store.

in america they destroy them to keep the prices high

@tuvati Draw a diagram on one page showing how any trillionaire made your stupid life choices for you.

Elon is projected to become a trillionaire by 2027 but yes people ordering DoorDash is the problem

@epicmnw But we do fast forward here and there...

Men won’t scroll past this video.

@austinmmonteiro I know you're not this time. In the future. You could help our home be better.

@ThomWoods I’m not running Serving as campaign manager to 3 candidates in Danbury

@TaraBull Nobody ever fought one Marine...

Probably not the best idea to start a fight with group of Marines

@austinmmonteiro Those general election numbers don't really matter. You have to check primary v. primary. Massie wins in a general, sure. But in a primary, if riled up, enough people will come out and fire him. That's how it works (outside of Connecticut.)

Explain this to me like I’m 5 years old.

@austinmmonteiro It sometimes is about learning how the game is played. This time (I suspect) Trump had enough and he and others paid to get rid of him. You can't piss your voters off too long and then when things don't go your way pout.

@ThomWoods It’s Massie district This was rigged

@catholicpat As a Protestant, that is surprisingly accurate. And dang it! Patrick, that is funny!

I had to correct the record on which Star Wars trilogy is which Christian denomination

@austinmmonteiro Your graphic didn't mention the money. But, sure, someone can pay to get people pissed about things. That's how politics work. Massie did/said things that pissed his voters off. Someone paid to tell the pissed off voters, "fire him," and so they did.

@ThomWoods What about the $$$$$

@ct_unite @ryanfazio @erinstewartct Made no judgment. Same here - I am probably too involved in the past. Which is why you should know Ryan is not likely sitting around drafting six page memo's for us. Join his campaign. Get to know his political director. Listen. Check his votes. But let's get him elected.

@ThomWoods @ryanfazio @erinstewartct Do your homework … not my first Rodeo… Very involved in many campaigns over the years. My question for you … same back .. Ditto

@ct_unite @ryanfazio @erinstewartct nailed down on some issues. (Remember Bob getting nailed on "eliminate income tax"?) For my money, Ryan all the way. ryanfazio.com/issues/

@ct_unite @ryanfazio @erinstewartct in progress, I am sure. If he does not meet your particular 100% pure litmus test, you have to ask yourself, is my home better with Ryan or whatever the Dems prop up? Yes, he should clearly articulate some of this. But, there is an election strategy to not getting...

@ianmSC The coffee/sandwich is just the warning bell. I guarantee if they are spending that much regularly, there are lots of things they waste money on.

I like Kevin O’Leary, but assuming he’s right about coffee and sandwiches, which he isn’t, saving $5 on coffee and $14 per day on sandwiches over 260 work days is $4,940 Which means it’ll take a 30 year old 20 years to save up a 20% down payment on a median home in Nashville
