Look, Trump has the right to put whomever he wants in whatever position he wants them in. That's hardly anything worth complaining about.

But he isn't gonna put anyone in a cabinet level position with the capabilities of Bobby Kennedy. Hell, Trump isn't even as capable as Bobby Kennedy was.

So let's not start talking about Camelot. There's no comparison.

I myself think that the brothers were bent on doing the right thing and THEY can be handed the credit for taking down the mob. I believe they were both killed to preserve the CIA.

I miss Camelot


wow, I just looked up... strange

Yeah. the "other time" we passed laws against it. Think about that. It was so bad of a action, that we passed laws so that it would not be a issue again.

Hmm.

JFK along with Bobby Kennedy worked together to resist huge amounts of media and military pressure to start shooting at the Russians in Cuba. It would have been a nuclear disaster if that had started and possible that parts of the USA East Coast might still be inhabitable.

Seems to me that wasn't a bad thing for the USA at all.

well, I don't think it is a good idea to make it a family business.

And they still worship JFK and think he was the best thing since sliced bread. I've never understood that. He wasn't in office long enough to have accomplished much other than that space thing.


I pay ZERO attention to the media, as well as ZERO attention to forum lefties. They're not even amusing anymore, like they were a year or so ago. They're like something sticky and nasty you got on your fingers and can't get off. Sometimes they say things so outrageous it's easier to just turn them off. Like the other day when some idiot on GMA said George Michael was the greatest talent of all time. Really? What planet do these idiots reside on? And they say it like it's indisputable and newsworthy.


Yo, media: We aren't listening. You've crossed the line and are no longer worthy.
