Pauly caught a bullet
But it only hit his leg
Well it should have been a better shot
And got him in the head

So far as I can tell, the $15 donation to ActBlue was a different person with the same name, probably the 69-year-old retired guy.
Probably not:

At 17, he was probably trying to impress a girl who was manning the ActBlue Booth at the Mall.

Sweet Jesus the stupid shit I did trying to impress a girl.

Notably, someone once tried to assassinate a president (and actually put him in the hospital) trying to impress a girl.

Unfortunately for him, I don't think it worked. Also she turned out to be a lesbian.

Don’t bad mouth Jodie Foster. In fact why bring her in to this. We do a getting to know you thing at work and one question asked is Who would you want to play you in a movie. She is my answer.

Agree with erimir, I can't make much sense of that post.

But I'm not American. I probably get too involved with your politics, but that's what gets discussed around here and y'all produce some compelling political theatre. I do try to comment in terms of stuff that can be generalised outside of your specific context, such as the limits of "vote the lesser evil" politics, and this attempt to be relevant in general is perhaps one reason why I don't say much about gun control - America seems like a weird and massive outlier in terms of guns. A lot of your conversation about guns just doesn't seem to apply much in other countries.

Also I'm no particular fan of Biden, and I don't see any good coming out of any political assassination attempts in your country right now no matter who the target, so if you're suggesting my opinions might change if some other political candidate was in the firing line that would be incorrect.
And so I stand corrected and will now view your posts from that perspective. Helpful in a diplomatic , if not useful way.

Shelby, I'm gay. I like Jodie Foster. I don't think her being a lesbian is bad. You might want her to play you in a movie, and that's nice and all, but she's a lesbian. If you think that's a bad thing about her, then sorry for you. Maybe she wouldn't want to play you in that case.

It's just funny because Hinckley went to extraordinary lengths to impress someone who would never be interested in him that way.

As for what she has to do with anything, John Hinckley Jr. tried to assassinate Reagan in an attempt to impress Jodie Foster. Possibly he was inspired by the fact that in Taxi Driver, the movie that started his Foster obsession, the main character Travis Bickle attempts to assassinate a presidential candidate.

So while it's certainly tangential, Jodie Foster is relevant to the subject of presidential/presidential candidate assassinations.

But it is, you know, what is called a joke.

Er I know you’re gay and I know you weren’t trying to disparage Jodie Foster. But it was the point you were making comparing Reagan’s assignation attempt and Trump’s that is lost on me.

And YES too, if my life was interesting enough Jodie Foster WOULD play me because her craft is ACTING.

And that is you painting me as purposefully spreading bogus information. I would never do that on purpose wether I turn out wrong or right.
