      I imagine experts probably advise against it because there are far reaching implications that could cause significant diplomatic or intelligence issues, domestically and internationally and that Donald “Here’s Where Our Spy Satellites Are” Trump doesn’t give a fuck.

        Pretty sure he’s already proved that. He’s already given information on our spies to Russia, which resulted in them getting killed.

      I swear both of them have already promised and/or done this.

      Edit: Yes. Biden declassified 99% just last year. (Another thing Donnie promised, that Joe actually did. Infrastructure week!) I’m sure the final 1% will finally prove every conspiracy true… /s

        I mean…

        Trump ultimately released tens of thousands of documents, the majority of which include at least some redactions.

        By December 2022, Biden had released more than 14,000 additional

        1% of 24,000 documents would be 240 documents. Considering they get to pick and choose which documents to keep hidden, yes it is actually very possible that they release the non-incriminating files, but keep the documents that prove conspiracy.

        Example: there are 100 cookies in a pack being saved. You take out every cookie and only eat 1. Someone asks if you ate a cookie so you go through 99 of the slots saying you didn’t eat this cookie.

        If you never get to the cookie slot you took before they give up on asking you, it doesn’t matter that 99% of cookies are accounted for thanks to your information, you still ate the cookie.

        Edit: quoted portion I was responding to specifically.

    I was unaware “what happened to JFK” was actually a major ask from the RFK-curious crowd. Don’t they have more current conspiracy theories they want answers to?

      It’s RFK Jr himself that’s probably asking for it. He’s said in the past he knows the CIA is behind the killing of his uncle. Says the CIA had him killed because JFK didn’t provide air support for bay of pigs and it pissed the CIA off. RFK claims he has proof but no one takes him serious or something.

        He’s crazy to think the CIA is behind it. The CIA handles overseas assassinations; domestic ones are the FBI’s domain.

          Well in this case, JFK fired CIA Director Dulles for the Bay of Pigs debacle. You’re right about the CIA being responsible for overseas assassinations. Dulles was involved with coups and assassinations in Guatemala and Iran. However, in the case of JFK, he made an exception and facilitated a domestic assassination since the case of his firing was personal.

      If there are any sealed files remaining regarding the JFK killing, then FUCKING RELEASE THEM. honestly I don’t expect much from anybody. What’s Trump gonna do, show a tax return or a balance sheet.

        The CIA has been dragging their feet on this. And while the President can order them to do this, the CIA probably has a video of the assassination that they shot from another angle that nobody else has seen yet just to make a point about who actually is in charge of the country.

      Sure, but the demographic he’s campaigning for have a tenuous grasp on reality at best, you expect them to remember something that happened in 2016? I’m sure they’ve already constructed some elaborate scenario in their heads about how Trump tried to reveal the truth but a Oceans 11 worthy plot by The Deep State™, Bill Gates, and Barack Obama conspired to prevent its release.

          If you deliver on your promises, they’re not promises any more, but deliverables. The only way you can keep your promises is by keeping them as promises.

        By not releasing the JFK files Trump maintained this crucial bit of leverage. That’s some 7-D parcheesi right there.

        Or y’know, Trump just being a lying POS who doesn’t bother to remember the promises he makes.

      Yeah I think that’s the deal they made which is pretty low cost for Trump since he doesn’t know what that secretariat does and wouldn’t care if someone told him.

      I would be very surprised if Trump honors the agreement. After the election is over RFK will already have served his purpose, and will have no leverage. Trump will claim they never had any deal and RFK will be left holding his dick.

        It was funny to hear Trump try to take credit for this during a rally and getting booed for it. It’s like one of the few genuinely good decisions he made, but he can’t even use it to campaign on.

      He cannot be removed from three, Michigan, Nevada and Wisconsin. I wonder if that many will still vote for him in those to act as much of a spoiler.

    “Speaking at a rally in Glendale, Arizona, Trump also pledged that, if elected, he would “establish a panel of top experts” that would work with Kennedy, a prominent anti-vaccine advocate, to investigate childhood health problems.”

    Well if you stop vaccinations you will have a host of childhood problems, so you will never run out of things to do!

    At least the GOP and Trump are focused on things that will help move american forward. Things that help the average american tax payer. Things like making the presidency about yourself, something that’s happened to you personally but more importantly helping another rich old white dude from a famous family.

    Those are the kind of things I wish the Democrats spent more time on. Instead they are talking about healthcare for everyone, student debt relief, tackling price gouging, and increasing the taxes on billionaires. Seriously, wtf Harris Get a grip. I want to see the zepruder film and documents about an assisnated president that hasn’t been relevant in 50 years.

    Too bad the shadow government won’t cooperate because Donald’s a prick.

    The only person who can actually convince the shadow government to act in the interest of the people is Kamala.

    vote kamala for shadow government envoy (president)

    I am so fed up with how the DNC has treated RFK Jr. The lawfare and taking him off the ballot in swing states is unacceptable. Really thinking of voting for Trump as a wakeup call to the Democratic party.
