Get ready for a HUGE big news DEATH. 48 hour countdown began last night.

Someone please explain to me how this is rocking the world. Big news, yes, but so what?

I wonder if Trump will be banned from this funeral too since he is an enemy of the deep state and they hate his guts.

George Bush died, but it will hardly "rock the world."

George Bush died, but it will hardly "rock the world."

One down, one to go...who is next?

Pretty sure it will be a political figure I called him at work and asked him if he knows who yet. He actually gave me a name, but said he wasn’t 100% sure though.

He said, “I think “insert first and last name here” is going to sneak on up and surprise everyone by dying.”

Wow!

Death is sad and all, so I don’t want to be disrespectful, but honestly I was kind of let down by his answer.

Apparently, there are some people on this thread that didn't live through the same Bush presidency that I did.

NAFTA started with Regan actually. That's why I NEVER considered Regan one of our greatest presidents. He tossed our mentally ill out on the streets and he is the one that originally conceptualized the free trade zone that became NAFTA.

But Bush senior drove that NASTY POS baby home, and I remember when he did. I remember thinking "this is absolutely going to fuck me for the rest of my adult working life." And it most certainly has.

My father was one of the 11,345 PATCO air traffic controllers that Regan laid off and banned from federal service for life for their very justified strike. (Not that I dig union thuggery. I've resisted it many times in my life. But PATCO had EXTREMELY good safety reasons for the strike. This wasn't just for them, it was for the passengers.)

Carter deregulated the trucking industry. It's still total shit pay now and unbelievably unsafe.

Carter, Regan, and Bush Sr., all did their part to fuck America raw. And of course, Bush Jr. pulled off 9/11, ... or at least allowed TPTB to pull it off. Bush also signed TARP (FUCK those banks. Bailing them out just robbed American citizens and put one more nail in the coffin of our economy.)

Then Obama completely FUCKED my healthcare. Completely...FUCKED...it.

The only president since FDR that hasn't done his part to fuck over the American people got his brains spattered all over the streets of Texas in front of his wife. And the CIA director responsible for organizing that fuckery left the world today.

So, I didn't choose to speak ill of the dead until now, but if I choose to speak ill of the dead, it's because I've lived through this shit fest all of my adult life. Their evil deeds have personally affected me, enslaved the entire working population, including my family, and don't even get me started on the drug war that POS Nixon unleashed on us after Johnson finished out JFK's term.

I have friends in their 50s and 60s who are desperately trying to find work because they have to compete with illegal immigrants, prisoners and of course, people 30 or 40 years their junior for work. We have 4% of the globe's population and 22% of its prisoners, and nearly all of these prisoners provide nearly free slave labor for corporations.

I'm not going to say something nice about a traitor that partook in the destruction of our great nation, the enslavement of our population, and the creation of the largest prison state in the world just because he's dead. Especially not while I'm still trying to survive what he did to me and mine.

Even a broken clock is right twice per day.

there will be a killing in the middle east today

Well, Sonny- I've been around since Kennedy's days [actually Eisenhower's but I was still too young to know how much damage he caused] and JFK was a serious fuck-up on the world stage from DAY ONE. 'Lest you forget it was he who took us to the brink of mutual nuclear annihilation [three words that were NOT used together before he took office!] and he was personally responsible for causing the Berlin Wall to be built... and I won't even bother to detal what a perv he was personally or the multiple daily injections he received from "Dr. Feelgood" that clinically had to impair his judgement... which was further compromised by his slavish devotion to Brother Bobby's frequently immature advice.

You're merely the product of the carefully crafted illusion that was the "Camelot" years that has engraved in stone that Kennedy was some kind of benevolent King when in reality he was a very, very flawed man who only acheived his status through the influence of wealth, corruption and influence. That legacy you seem to cherish so dearly rightfully belongs to JFK's speechwriter Ted Sorenson and Press Secretary Peirre Salinger who put those lofty words into Kennedy's mouth... and revisionist history books.

Me tell you

They all rely on speechwriters. Obama's speechwriter was Catholic Jon Favrau who was a fan of JFK who was a actually a fan of JFKs speechwriter. They take it to another level with the teleprompters

He was shot. Died young and went into legend status.

That's a BIG part of it! But Kennedy's rise to power had just as much to do with his dreary, Grandfatherly predecessor Dwight Eisenhower. That and his Daddy's money and willingness to use the Mob to snag the vital Chicago vote.

THE QUEEN IS NEXT...

He will have got the Irish Catholic Chicago vote automatically.
