Honestly, based on my experience, they looked like they were newer than that, plus, second and third generations tend to assimilate and consequently disperse away from the kind of concentrated ethnic enclaves their immigrant parents and grandparents tend toward.

I applaud CNN for trying to get both sides of a debate but not sure how they move forward with these in the future. Every other conservative they bring on now will try to sensationalize to get their CNN ban that they can parade around to the right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He spiked the endorsement, but then has allowed his writers to savage his decision in his paper. - in effect simply making a bunch of individual endorsements. His mistake will be believing that Trump will honor any deal he made over an endorsement, esp after the editorial staff all wrote to repudiate it so forcefully. No official deal was made, he simply favored Amazon over WaPo. He probably gleefully watched his writers savage the decision as it's probably more along the lines of what he truly feels, without the official endorsement which is all Trump would have noticed. Definitely goes to show how strong the US Government is though when Bezos can't stand up to even the possibility of Trump being POTUS again.

CMRivdogs Posted Tuesday at 01:30 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 01:30 PM This probably needs its own thread but is anyone familiar with Neil Howe's book The Fourth Turning is Her. It's a follow-up to The Fourth Turning that says that there is a cyclical pattern of American history that happens every 80-100 years. It's laid out in four cycles High, Awakening, Unraveling and Crisis. According to Howe we are in the Crisis Cycle a period of upheaval that will last until the 2030s similar to the Revolutionary War, Civil War, The Great Depression, etc. We're seeing the last of the "Boomers" in power with Gen X'ers taking control. This was mentioned by our financial guy in passing while discussing our finances. (It was after all the business was completed and we touched briefly on the election) Im hoping the more pragmatic X know what the heck they're doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure it is as much Amazon as it is his space company Blue Origin. The announcement happened at the same time Blue Origin managers met with Trump.

Naive in the sense that like many American's in the middle of what they see as political breakdown, they don't have solutions for how to get out of it and instead keep reaching for wrong answers that have already failed.

They don't like Trump but either are afraid or don't really trust Harris for whatever reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially men, women will go vote anyway and maybe not note the top of the ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
