They've always hated John F. Kennedy. They finally found a vessel to celebrate his assassination

MAGAts, racist, fascist and skinheads have ALWAYS hated JFK. They hate everything about him.

Decency, empathy, compassion and grace has mostly kept their public expression of that hate in check.

Now that they’ve killed decency. empathy, compassion and grace, they are ALL IN on their hate.

And make no mistake, the destruction of the Kennedy Center is all about hate. They would dig up his body and shoot him again, but short of that, allowing Donnie Dipshit to shit all over The Kennedy Center is good enough.

The only reason they’ve kept their hatred, mostly out of public view, is because they could never quite figure out a way to demean, dehumanize and stomp on a man who had his brains blown out on national TV.

Oh, they wanted to smear him, and dance on his grave, but the video of his blood covered wife scrambling over the trunk of a speeding car to grab pieces of his skull, and the images of his 2 year old son saluting his casket gave them "pause".

For 63 years, they turned over every rock, and dug through every putrid sewer retention pond, searching for an entity vile enough, evil enough and disgusting enough to malign the legacy of President Kennedy.

They finally found him...and they're gleeful about it.

This seems a silly thing to call for a National Strike over, but maybe it's not that silly.

Please, ask me again why I find it hard to feel empathy for the fucksticks that helped bring Donnie Dipshit to power?

How "high" am I supposed to go?

As we can see with his totally tasteless redecoration of the Oval Office, Trump has the worst taste ever. For now, he says the Center will be remodeled, just as he claimed his white elephant ballroom would not touch the East Wing. I predict that remodelers will be paid to find serious damage that means the whole Center must be demolished. Trump will then build another monument to himself.

No one will want to remember him, so he has to build or grab memorials now.

I want the Kennedys to sue him.

We all need to sue him.
Meanwhile, I think there are laws about what he can do to properties he is the Steward, not the Owner of, and this is being addressed with the East Wing and could apply here too. If we can get the courts to act faster than he does.

They are jealous of him because he was the cool kid in school - smart, handsome, engaging, popular, rich - the person they could never be. He was the kind of man that losers love to hate.

When they go low, you go high.

if he could have gotten away with it. I don't think his initial goal was to destroy it, but to bask in the glory of it and take some credit. Unfortunately he tends to destroy anything he gets involved with.

for one thing, they felt that he had purposely botched the Bay of Pigs invasion that otherwise would have allowed the US to begin to take over Cuba. Establishing a backchannel of communication with Khruschev was considered treason, by their reasoning.

The oil companies wanted access to Cuba's offshore oil. The mafia-controlled gambling industry wanted to re-establish Cuba's casino and gaming industry. Even the sugar industry (namely Pepsico with Joan Crawford on the Board at the time) wanted access to Cuba's sugar industry. Whether or not there indeed was a broad conspiracy leading to his assassination, the far right did want him out of the picture.

Now we have the biggest, grandest, PIG of them all leaching off of the US and as much of the world's resources that he can grab, JFK's legacy be damned!

Old Money and their toad lines foisted the orange traitor upon the nation and planet. Multiple generation grifters. Big Oil. Big Guns. Big Drugs. Big Everything. And it’s all theirs.

Lookit Bill Barr. Donald Barr, as headmaster of Dalton School, the former-OSS man hired college dropout Epstein to teach Manhattan’s richest families’ teenagers maths and stuff.

Or tolerance for the right wing in any of its forms.


If they all died I would feel joy. Finally all those pedos, abusers, thieves, perverts, fraudsters, bullies, greedy, liars, criminals and monsters in human suits are dead!
