The Official Former President Trump thread

Given how much pressure Curtis LeMay and Maxwell Taylor put on him, it’s revisionist at best to call Kennedy a hawk.
 
While a certain amount of glorification occurs with JFK, there’s no question he was cut from a different mould than the presidents directly before and after him.
 
Those wish to sacrifice a holy cow are aiming at the wrong place, or more likely simply being contrarian, when taking aim at JFK. Given the nature of international relations at the time, Kennedy was very much against the grain.
 
Nixon is your guy if you want to really look at a guy whose reputation and reality are misunderstood.



We should probably have a separate JFK theory thread

A good article about the Frank Olsen murder.

It's quite funny that the Guardian can publish an article in which CIA torture black sites in West Germany and American use of biological weapons in Korea are casual aside. There must be some sort of statute of limitations about Yankee atrocities that has passed.

Lesson #1916. Talking up your Irish-American heritage isn't going to work the way it did for JFK if you are a Prod.

Fresh off of calling Theresa May "Margaret Thatcher" (twice), uncle Joe Biden has now called Angela Merkel by the same name. That's it. There's no gag here. It's either a narcissistic dementia sufferer or a *slightly nicer* dementia sufferer  in charge of this planet. That's the choice. I'm buying ammo.
