1. History is repeating it's self.

Instead of Goldwater, Trump. It ended in a national tragedy, this has the likely hood of being orders of magnitude worst.

2. Wow. I never knew about that. Our nominee for president in 52 and 56

[question everything]

3. And a month later...

Important twit from historian Beschloss

4. If they didn't kill our beloved President Kennedy in Dallas...

They would have found somewhere else.



He was a man of peace, like Gandhi.

7. No "they.' HE. That sad little Communist dipshit from New Orleans who desired fame and glory.

Goddamn him.

[harumph]

10. Dick. Let's be honest. Along with the sad little communist -

There was a right wing in Dallas that wanted Kennedy dead as well.

12. That is true, but that doesn't mean that any of them were involved in the assassination.

Occam’s Razor.

5. I didn't know this and less then a month later

Kennedy was killed if only he hadn't gone there.

6. And a month later, a disturbed wannabe Communist revolutionary killed the President.

8. Wow, didn't know this . And he warned JFK, too! 😔

And I'm still not sure it was just a "He" (Oswald), only. 🤔😔

I was 10 at the time, but surprised I didn't hear this later on. OTOH, I didn't learn that much about Adli Stevenson so maybe it just blew past me.
