Right after Kennedy was shot you can see Jackie climbing out of the car and crawling across the trunk of the car. Initially it looked like she was trying to get out of the car away from the assassin's bullets but we later learned she was trying to collect the pieces of her husband's brain. What amazing bravery and love for her husband to instinctively do what she thought might save his life and make him well again.

I was 16 years old, a senior in high school, sitting in history class taught by a stoical spinster who hardly ever showed emotion, except to call down rowdy students. The public address system came on, broadcasting the events to the whole school.
When the announcement came that the POTUS was dead, that teacher got tears in her eyes, turned silently and left the room. Her show of emotion actually had more of an impact on me at that moment than the announcement.

I remember vividly the happenings of that day in Dallas ... I was glued to the TV like millions of others. I still think LBJ had the most to gain and was more than corrupt enough to arrange it. Then came the shooting of Bobby and the USA was totally in the gutter with the maggots....and world now has the result of that mentality... Trump! Need I say more... he's an embarrassment to the human race! Vile, disgusting and a waste of skin!

Hi Pat: I remember that day too and how I was in school and the principal was making the announcement over the p.a. system. They never announced anything during class time so we knew it must be something reallty important. It sounded like he was crying and he said that President Kennedy had been assassinated. OMG everyone was in shock and crying. How could something like that happen? Maybe the killer was on the loose and we could all be killed. I have never felt such fear and sorrow in my life. Then when Bobby Kennedy was assassinated the same announcement was made by the principal, and personally I think I felt even more sorrow than when his brother was assassinated. I remember thinking that no-one would ever be safe again.

You left out the most important part of the story. We had something called the Fairness Doctrine in place in 1963. The Fairness Doctrine forced journalists to give equal time and honest coverage of both Republican and Democrat debates, arguments, issues etc. It was law and ENFORCED by FCC.

Abandoning the Fairness Doctrine in the late 80s turned news into gutter style entertainment. Politics evolved to the level of professional sports. You stick with your team no matter what ...you're supposed to hate the other team .. your team can do no wrong.

If you don't like the entertainment industry there is an option ... vote with your wallet!

"When it all finally comes out, we will learn the Obama DOJ, the top brass at the CIA and FBI were engaged in an active effort to take Trump down."
Absolutely true.......

They are going to take Trump down..I guarantee it.....You see... they have truth on their side.

Now tell me.... who's attacking who?... Trump attacks everyone who doesn't "play ball". So you think they are just going to stand there and take it.. They goit a JOB to the job of checks and balance of the President. And if they don't do their job we got a second amendment to care of it...That's what the second amendment is for. No single man is bigger than this country..
Do you think they have to make shit up.....When it's there right in front of your eyes? You are blinder than an "old bat".......I take that back you are an "old bat".
the only one that need to make shit up is YOU and Trump... The Deep State my ass! It's an impossibility, except with you and Trump, in trying to eliminate the checks and balances that prevent it.
I thought you were a fricken idiot... but, Now I just think you're fricken insane.

I've thought about this a little today.......... our world and society sure has changed.
I knew a lot of people who did not like JFK...... but not a one of them spoke bad about him and were glad to see him dead.
Not so today, is it? If the POTUS were killed today, there would people so crass as to celebrate his death, and it would probably be quite publically.
Sad, extremely sad.

Absolutely true....... you hit a lot of key one's.. but you forgot a lot too.. You forgot.. Bill and Hillary.....John McCain, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schummer, the Bush's, Jeff Flake,, CNN, MSNBC, the Washinton Post , The New York Times, Every single Democrat in Congress and some Republicans, , Most of Trump's own staff, past and present, And finally every single Liberal in this country. That's a pretty "DEEP STATE"

One of the Dallas cops who was there when a rifle was found on the 6th floor saw it at very close range and said that 'Mauser' was stamped on the receiver.

I don't look silly Maisie... but you do with your ridiculous attempts to convince everyone that YOU know everything! Your ideas and thoughts aren't worth anymore than mine are ... you just think they do. Try using a little logic now and again!

The same mind set that surrounded the assassination of John Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, Martin Luther King, etc. etc. etc. is the same as the mind set that elected Trump! There's a whole world outside your borders that watches and waits to see what is going to happen next.

This isn't just about the USA ... it's about the world and what the hell people like you were thinking when you elected that disgusting individual to be your president. I'd be ashamed if I was American!

Lizst ... try reading my post word for word. I think you must have missed a few pertinent facts.
