I just thought Richie Cunningham did something controversial, which I'm pretty sure is one of the signs of the apocalypse! The movie was made 3 years before Vance even joined Congress. Yet there are those who believe that Ron Howard should have been psychic or asked Mork from Orc about the future. (Mork and Mindy was a Happy Days spin-off for those of you who don't know) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gonna get the Indian vote maybe but at the same time piss off the east Asian votes and it does nothing for Latinos or African Americans. According to research 68% of Indians, Filipinos and Koreans that are registered voters are democrats. Vietnamese are 51% registered as Republicans. Few months ago NYT and Siena college did research that showed 46% of Latinos favor Trump over Biden . It was a small sample but still. Latinos are more family oriented, religious, concerned about crime etc. so their values are closer aligned with conservative causes. Muslim vote in Michigan especially might hurt Biden with this ongoing slaughter in the Middle East. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also donated to a Democrat charity during Trump's inauguration. Could be BS. They recently got access into his phone so we'll probably find out his actual motivations. Probably best to let the investigation take place. The former is just conspiracy theory. No one knows. May have a better guess if we know when he registered as a Republican or if he was previously registered as a Dem. He donated during Biden's inauguration. Or alleged to have since there is another person with the same name in Penn that is 100% Democrat. Not sure what the latest fact are there. If we go by report he is conservatives by his high-school classmates and his voter registration, he more than likely lost a bet where he believes Biden will not be inaugurated. But that is just my conspiracy theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to shoot bow and arrows, once a year, in gym class when I was a kid. NY had already banned shooting rifles by then. These days, I'm sure they've long banned schoolyard Bow and arrows too. I had to wait until Summer Camp to shoot rifles. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The US's best and brightest do not roam those halls. FBI & SS are gonna get raked with coals the longer this goes on without answers to the shooters motivations. They are probably working tirelessly to come up with updates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just saying that Indians does nothing identity politics wise for black and Latinos and there is some racism going on with Indians and east Asians.

I know I wouldn't want to be an official working on this investigation, having politicians and the public prodding for immediate answers.

This is the Wild West my friend! Growing up I only saw westerns based in the U.S, I don’t recall any taking place in Canada. I did see Nanook of the North, but I think that was directed by an American. Joking aside, I was taught how to shoot when I was 9 years old by my grandfather who was retired police chief, WW2 veteran and President of the sharpshooting club. I also grew up in a country that had compulsory military service for all men over the age of 18. So I am fairly familiar with weapons to say the least. What we have here in America is insane and it’s more like gun fetish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems evident imo with how the last 2 Democrat primaries have gone that the powers that be within the party flex their muscle to choose the candidate. (Sanders would've won in 2016 imo for example, many candidates drop out prior to Super Tuesday in 2020) If Kennedy was someone they were comfortable with, the name value alone be such an obvious W for Dems in the narrative/story they could script, but he's not an establishment candidate imo.

I'm just glad I was never one of the dumb kids who used to shoot at each other with a BB gun using a trash can lid as a shield. I knew 2 or 3 of those kind of dummies when I was a kid. One of them inevitably got a BB to the eye and messed his vision up. The spring loaded BB's hurt, but the CO2 cartridge accelerated BB guns can kill. I never knew which kind of BB gun got his eye, but I've always assumed it was the spring accelerated kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying if they wanted to win this would've been a slam dunk when you consider what shape they are in right now.

Posted it a bit back, but the democrats have been terrible at choosing candidates since Barry. More than ever, Biden needs to go. They have no chance right now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what you saying but every vote is important imo, if Trump can take 10-15% of votes from Indian Americans away from Biden that’s huge. Especially in battleground states. He is not winning black vote anyways, that is the strongest democratic base in the nation, especially black women. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just offer up green cards. Easiest vote whip for Indians there is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also went all PC and took away the Seneca Nation names of the cabins. Which is a shame. I learned a lot about the Seneca Nation back then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything else it is a guaranteed lose more so than it already is. You won't even have the Dem base backing RFK Jr. You better hope in that case whatever independent is or never trumpets can offset the lose of the Dem base. If anything the Dems should have just pushed Newsome at the very least or better yet Whitmer or even Buttigeg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many Democrat voters didn't like Biden in 2020 let alone now when he's close to a walking corpse. This comment from Joy Ann Reid describes the Democrat base perspective. Hypothetically even if they hated RFK, they would still vote for him anyways as a Dem candidate cause the opponent is Trump & he cannot win.
