It's Walz, not Waltz. Enjoy voting for Trump, Pamela. I'm sure you will be very happy with his leadership.

I shouted out "who killed the Kennedy's?" When after all, it was you and me

Cui bono - who benefits? One of the most elemental questions asked in crime investigations. No one benefited more, and no one benefited quicker, from JFK's death than LBJ. The conspirators sure got lucky that the new president was guiding and shaping the investigation and the resulting cover up from beginning to end. I don't believe the conspirators relied on luck.

The silence from Trump supporters is deafening.

Whoever it is, they're gonna have some mighty small gloves to fill.

The bigotry on this forum is truly appalling.

If it wasn't for President Donald Trump's JFK records snuff job, this thread wouldn't exist.

The Arlington National Cemetery who was pushed declined to press charges because she was afraid of retaliation by Trump's supporters. Retaliation for what? For doing her job and attempting to enforce the law.

I don't have any animus for RFK Jr. I just believe, passionately, to the bottom of my soul, that the presidency of the United States should not be an entry level job in politics. I do have animus for Donald Trump because he tried to take away my vote and replace it with an imaginary vote pulled from thin air. Has anyone here who is defending Trump, or is claiming to be bipartisan, ever really listened to that phone call? That's the man you'll be voting for in November.

You're certainly not interested in the policies that affect millions of Americans today, that's obvious. You're focused on one issue to the exclusion of all else. That's your right, but it's disappointing that it seems you can't see a viewpoint other than your own, or think beyond a single issue. Again, that's your right, but in that situation you have no business casting aspersions on anyone else's political acumen. You may say this, but at the same time you hand wave away the four solid years President Donald Trump had to give you the results you want. You also ignore the half century of adult life RFK Jr. had to start a political career and get you the answers you so desperately desire. Has anybody ever asked you this Jim: If RFK Jr. himself actually cared about getting answers to his uncle's and father's murder, why is he only now attempting to get in a position to do something about it at age 69? Trump was the closest thing that we've ever had to a truly independent president. He was not part of the government establishment. He was not beholden to his political party - in fact, his party was completely beholden to him. The documents were scheduled to be released under his watch, and he didn't do anything. You say that you're interested in "results", but somehow this washes straight off your back. Talk is cheap. Deeds, not words. You bought his lie that he would release the records last time. You bought that lie for four solid years. Why wouldn't he try it again? It certainly appears that you're more than willing to buy in again and that you regard his empty promise as something significant. Trump will say anything for a vote. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-i-dont-care-about-you-quote/ And in case you think he was just kidding: https://www.politico.com/news/2020/06/23/trump-joking-slowing-coronavirus-testing-335459 Nobody is basing their votes on this except you. Trump tried to subvert democracy. He tried to interfere with government representatives who were doing their Constitutionally mandated duty. He sent a violent mob to Congress where they wanted to murder the Vice President of the United States. And you act like we simply don't like him personally? I'll never, ever understand why his actions to subvert the democratic process and remain in office after losing the 2020 election is completely irrelevant to you. It seems you genuinely do not care about it in the least. I assure you, millions of other Americans do care. You act like it's relevant that Donald Trump made an empty promise on tape that he would release the remaining JFK records. Well, he's also said - on tape - that he'd be a dictator on day one. But, again, you don't care about that. Imho, your priorities are way, way out of whack. There are other, bigger, more immediate concerns that are affecting living people right here and now, and our decision in November could affect nothing less than the future of democracy itself in America.

If @Larry Hancock and @Gene Kelly 's eloquent posts didn't cause @James DiEugenio to pause and think for a moment, I'm pretty sure nothing will.

Hopefully this will start to be covered more in the media.

I'm beginning to wonder about yours, to be honest. It doesn't matter what Trump said because his word is worthless. An empty promise is worth less than nothing. He had his opportunity. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. If Kamala Harris doesn't make a comment on it that's to her credit at least she's not going to be lying, like Trump is. 99.9% of people are not going to base their vote in November on whether or not the next president is going to release JFK files. They simply aren't. If you think this is a pressing issue for anyone except a tiny, tiny sliver of the American population, then I really have to wonder about your own political instincts and acumen. I'm a Georgia voter. Trump called the GA Secretary of State and tried to get him to conjure up 11,780 votes out of thin air so he could win the state. He tried to take away my vote. Trump is an actual danger to democracy itself. Do you genuinely not see that, or do you simply put the 0% chance of getting JFK information from a second Trump administration ahead of that?

His pledge on this means absolutely nothing. He had his chance, and he punted. What makes you think that this time he'll actually follow through on it?

Almost no one is actually basing their vote this November on whether or not the next president will release the remaining JFK files. If anyone is basing their vote on this alone, their priorities are way out of whack. It's simply not a pressing issue for most Americans today. If Donald "The Single Greatest Enemy Of The Deep State That Ever Walked The Earth" Trump didn't do it, no one will. Whatever is in there is so explosive, it will never get out. It's likely manufactured evidence pointing to the Soviet Union as being responsible, since fear of triggering World War 3 was used as a lever to push the Lone Nut narrative since the day the assassination happened.

It kind of did. It seems someone is sending a version of it as an email. And someone else did their own responses too. Pretty interesting.

The buck stops there?

You definitely went the extra mile @Andrej Stancak. Good work.

Two members of Donald Trump's campaign staff had a verbal and physical altercation Monday with an official at Arlington National Cemetery, where the former president participated in a wreath-laying ceremony, NPR has learned. A source with knowledge of the incident said the cemetery official tried to prevent Trump staffers from filming and photographing in a section where recent U.S. casualties are buried. The source said Arlington officials had made clear that only cemetery staff members are authorized to take photographs or film in the area, known as Section 60. When the cemetery official tried to prevent Trump campaign staff from entering Section 60, campaign staff verbally abused and pushed the official aside, according to the source. Trump participated in an event to mark the third anniversary of a deadly attack on U.S. troops in Afghanistan as U.S. forces withdrew from the country; 13 U.S. service members were killed in the attack. The Trump campaign has blamed President Biden and Vice President Harris, now the Democratic presidential nominee, for the chaotic withdrawal. In a statement to NPR, Steven Cheung, the Trump campaign's spokesman, strongly rejected the notion of a physical altercation, adding: "We are prepared to release footage if such defamatory claims are made. "The fact is that a private photographer was permitted on the premises and for whatever reason an unnamed individual, clearly suffering from a mental health episode, decided to physically block members of President Trump's team during a very solemn ceremony," Cheung said in the statement. The Trump campaign declined to make that footage immediately available. In a statement to NPR, Arlington National Cemetery said it "can confirm there was an incident, and a report was filed." "Federal law prohibits political campaign or election-related activities within Army National Military Cemeteries, to include photographers, content creators or any other persons attending for purposes, or in direct support of a partisan political candidate's campaign," according to the statement. "Arlington National Cemetery reinforced and widely shared this law and its prohibitions with all participants." https://www.npr.org/2024/08/27/nx-s1-5091154/trump-arlington-cemetery Look at how Republicans are honoring our fallen soldiers: breaking the law and shoving people who work at Arlington.

I agree that Trump has no room to criticize how the withdrawal finally went.

Trump Says We ‘Gotta’ Restrict the First Amendment https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-restrict-first-amendment-1235088402/

I wonder if Gil wrote this. If so, he should know that it's gone viral, in a way.

Imho starting the process of us getting out of Afghanistan was maybe the only good thing Trump did in his entire term. I give him credit for that, and I give Biden credit for following through with it.

Maybe RFK Jr can grab the skull and a bicycle, head to Central Park, and try to make it look like an accident.
