They did with JFK and he was the golden boy, and his reported mistake was in itself a mistake.

and The Guardian would, of course, but the BBC probably wouldn't.

Optimistic as ever

I'm referring to it as you gave that specific scenario, Trump will never put himself in that position.

And the times are slightly different, so the treatment of the two cannot be truly comparable in the days of not only rolling media, but the bane that is social media.

Oh come on Tux! Don't tell me you believe in the JFK conspiracy as well?

I actually suspected you did but it's fun to act incredulous about it.

I once believed it too...around about when the Oliver Stone movie came out....but I put quite a lot of research into it as a student and came to the conclusion that the official claims are fundamentally accurate.

There was one shooter and he was Oswald.....the single most compelling revelation was finding out about the realities of the 'back and to the left' claim.

In reality the nervous systems doesn't always follow the expected physical paths when a brain is suddenly ripped apart. I found studies that showed this in cows that are shot to the brain and in evidence given by soldiers about shot colleagues on the battlefield.

The body doesn't always move in the expected manner. Then you find out the magic bullet theory is flawed but I should close up...cus we could go on about this kind of thing forever.

Just as in the 9/11 conspiracy there are perfectly reasonable answers for all the claims. Granted the JFK conspiracy is far more believable than 9/11 but, in my view, it doesn't really stand up to serious objective research.

Over fifty years ago now.....Most people alive then and involved in anything are dead.

So if something incriminating was ever to come out it certainly is taking its time.

Still, you never know.

Trump should get credit in the breakthrough between the two Koreas. Unfortunately, I don't think anything will actually happen out of this, but you know for sure the mainstream media would be noshing off Obama if he did the same thing. CNN cannot bare to mention this or even the ridiculous Iran deal that's being re-examined that Obama signed.

It would have made far more sense for the mob to kill RFK in 62.

If the mob connection had legs there would have been a leak by now that stood up.

Ruby said that sympathy for the president's widow was his only motive. Sure he had mob connections but again, there's no real evidence.

I think people get excited by categorising half truths as proven truths. For example, the Warren report found that Ruby had connections to the mob but he wasn't in the mob. There were lots of people like that. Oswald was very sympathetic to Cuba and hung around with lots of anti establishment figures that doesn't mean Castro or the mob used him to kill Kennedy.

Occam's razor.
