    Yep. Having to escape communists as a kid on a small boat with your mom, leaving your dad behind, knowing that if the other side’s boat finds you that you WILL be shot dead will do that to you.
     

    Some of the finest people I’ve met. I’ll give them a pass.

    A friend of mine escaped with her mother after she watched her dad executed, she was 7.  And this was after the US had left the war. She is now a UT Grad and Pharmacist.

    They need to keep the Vietnamese at home unless it's the younger generation. The old generation overwhelmingly skew Trump for some unknown reason. They're the Cubans of the Asians.

    Their job is to get people out to vote not keep them home.

    I lurk on some A/V forums and it seems to me that many or most new "smart" TVs require an inordinate amount of updates and fixes before they really work properly in all respects. I liked it better when consumer products were fully tested before release and didn't need constant updates and patches. I have a Panasonic plasma TV from 2005 that worked great out of the box (and still does, mostly) and I've never needed to update it or reboot it or reset it. TVs now are more like a whole damn multimedia computer.

     

    Same I have a Plasma from about 2007/8 that works perfectly with a great picture.  I use external devices through my AV  receiver to stream.

    My uncle, a small business owner, said that the goal of every person in corporate America was to never open the door and hear "Hello, I'm Mike Wallace with 60 Minutes, do you have time for a few questions?".  He said if you hear that you're screwed.

    Did Trump not know that 60 Minutes has been asking tough questions since forever?

    He and Rudy have been more concerned with Dateline TCP.
