he was killed by a commie so, commies hate libs, even if it was cia, it would have been cause of foreign policy, he had some run ins with his generals, but economically and as we saw with bay of pigs he was the same as every pres


Liberals have been useful idiots for commies for the past century giving them secrets and other kinds of . They got millions okayed to be given to the communist Russia regime under the lend lease act after ww2. Truman thought if he just givenly gave to the communists of military supplies that they would stop their task of world domination and try to live in harmony with everyone else. Russia just thought this was a sign of weakness and took advantage. They were able to infiltrate different levels of the government to take advantage of this act and get all kinds of illegal supplies. They also pushed the agenda that commies could live in harmony without starting a wars.

As for JFK there is substantial evidence that he was shot by more than just one person. Not just that a week before he had talked about that there was secrets in the government that should not be permitted to be kept in a free society. Along with his problems with the mob, there's a lot of different reasons he could have been killed.

In older times in human history our sleeping pattern would be a set of of 2, 3 or 4 hours segments. We would wake up in the middle of this segment for an hour so and this was usually a time introspection, reading or making love to your spouse.

As a lonely man I just crustily open my eyes to watch in the dark hours of the night and play mafia before falling back asleep.

For being a liberal, you're extremely wrong about your view of JFK. If he was an establishment baby like treudau or macron he probably wouldn't of been killed.

Fun fact about truedaus mom and dad. His mom went on a groupie tour with some rock band for like a week and his dad's response was "she was just having girlish fun."

fdr or lyndon johnson is my guess


i would be very surprised if it was LBJ there was a lot of civil rights stuff goin on around that time idk


It was Lincoln, LBJ said some bad stuff too.

This is attributed to him
"These Negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity these days and that’s a problem for us since they’ve got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do something about this, we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference."

I believe it for the sole fact I don't believe welfare was created to help and more of created to abring a class of people dependant on the state.

Since president was brought up, can you guess who said this?

"I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races, [applause]-that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality."


I'm gonna say Lincoln in the midst of the Civil War to keep the South happy

fred hampton was killed by the fbi cause they were affraid of a black messiah


Real story about the FBI, they tried to discredit MLK by using his affairs but his wife wouldn't believe it or stood by him anyway. They also tried to pass an unverified claim that he used the services of a white .

when crows see a nest they'll wait for the eggs to hatch and for the birds to get just big enough so that they're still in the nest. they calculate the best time to eat them weeks in advance. that is my fun fact

Woodpeckers are actually hell creatures.

Their tongue is like a spear and can impale humans and bugs alike. What makes it even worse is how damn long it is.

Those birds are seriously messed up. Sometimes they even eat baby birds.




most birds would be willing to eat baby birds
