he wants to get rid of the trans pacific partnership, investigate 9/11, no more going to war and strengthen the ties with Putin.

Didn't Kennedy get assassinated for wanting to audit the fed? I'm not an American so excuse my ignorance.

He also threatened to 'splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it into the winds', and it could be argued that he brought the world to the brink of WWIII during the Cuban missile crisis (although personally, I'd say that one was on Khrushchev being alternately sneaky and deliberately provocative)

Kennedy made a shit ton of enemies which is one of the reasons his assassination is so 'murky'; there are just too many suspects with motives.

That's one (of many) theories. Maybe the average person will know some day, but I'm thinking that 1984 (history being written by those in power with either outright lies or, more likely, partial truths that suggest a non-truth) is already here.

End result is that I don't think anyone not Directly involved with the assassination will ever Really know.

As an American, this circus is annoying. We're so far from a democratic process at this point that nothing short of civil war will make a whit of difference. Though the schism seems to widen every circus year (leap year, election year, whatever you want to call it), and I have to wonder how wide it can go before things just... break.

Got to admit,this does make me hesitate. It's because of stuff like the NSA and Snowden that I consider Trump the lesser of two evils. That sure as fuck doesn't make him perfect. Also, Hillary is so goddamn evil that most terrible scum looks great in comparison. So Trump actually caring about the well-being of our country's people makes him look like a God when standing next to Hilldog.
