Lmao
He was already president, why didn’t he do it already?
I thought he promised that during the 2016 election?
Yes he did. Trump promises a lot of things and never delivers.

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.

You fool! He’s been playing N-Dimensional Yahtzee the whole time!
He’s the type to enjoy playing monopoly, but only when he gets to be the bank.
Nailed it. 12th-dimensional strip poker and no one wants to see that.
Tap for spoiler (gross)Like orgasm?

Keeps. His. Promises.*

*doesn’t keep his promises

“Promises Made ^(by\ someone\ other\ than\ us)^, Promises Kept ^(by\ someone\ other\ than\ us)^.”

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.

… Is probably what Kelly-Anne Conway would say.

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.

It was George Soros, not Bill Gates.

Now you know.

That’s not even 2-D Candy Land
Don’t worry Trump will release everything in 2 weeks, just like his healthcare plan, infrastructure plan, his taxes…
Not so much the Epstein files…
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.
I mean, your vote your choice but… yikes.
They're failing miserably lol - Lemmy.World

Of all the reasons to be mad at the DNC that’s what you’re going with? The way they treated Mr. Brainworms whose Venn Diagram between him and Trump has always been dangerously close to a circle?

The RNC is challenging 3rd parties on the ballots in multiple states. They also like challenging mail-in voting. reuters.com/…/new-yorks-top-court-upholds-mail-in…

Hell Republicans are even taking voter signed Abortion ballot measures to court to get them removed from the election. nytimes.com/…/abortion-ballot-measures-have-had-s…

The Republican party also has a history of funding the Green party intentionally to draw Democratic voters away. talkingpointsmemo.com/…/img-src-images-santorum1-…

You’re the one that needs a wakeup call if you think that the Democrats challenging RFK Jr. is unacceptable but what the Republicans are doing is fine.

New York's top court upholds mail-in voting for all, rejecting Republican challenge

New York's highest court upheld a state law on Tuesday that allows any voter to cast a ballot by mail, rejecting a Republican-led lawsuit challenging the statute.

They’re not going to read any of that. You know that, right?
This is whataboutism at its finest. We need to hold our own party to a higher standard. I think we either need to vote 3rd party or for Trump to send a clear message.
Third party… or Trump. LOL i’m worried about genocide.
In case anyone missed it, this guy is self proclaimed MAGA. He’s purposefully trying to pretend to be a Democrat voter to dissuade people, although he’s doing a piss poor job. Obviously he thinks everyone else is as dumb as he is.
You want to give them a message? Not voting speaks volumes. Do that instead.

No we don’t. Play the game by the current rules of the system and win. Then try to change the system to be better for next time.

If you give up a massive LEGAL advantage you could have taken and lose, you get nothing. Your standards mean nothing if you hand a win to an opponent who will wreck everything you hold dear.

Do you really think cosplaying as MAGA brings any value to this platform or anything in general?

He is still on the ballot in Michigan, Nevada and Wisconsin.

The fuck are you on about.

If you were a RFK voter, then you were never a concern. You wanted to vote for a guy has a freezer full of roadkill.
You’re not intelligent enough to execute this strategy.
Cool I too am a fan of lawfaremedia.org or whatever the fuck it is. That old dude using chalk to paint a Ukrainian flag in front of the Russian embassy was amazing. And then the Russians violated international customs and local law to clear it off.
wonder about polling impact on swing states, i got the feeling the reminding RFK jr enthusiast don’t plan to vote for neither party, so not much change
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.
Don’t let RFKJR voters forget: Trump presided over creation of the Covid-19 vaccine.
I’ll feel dirty doing it, but I’ll do it.
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.
well that’s weird, but ok
Woo did that guy promise something

We already know what happened to jfk. He got to close to the releasing the truth and the Cia murdered him. They used a loved that had a mail order bride as the cover up. Oswald couldn’t hit a moving target to save his life. Hence the second shooter theory and the direction of which jfksbrains exploded

C.i.a

Spoiler alert! Jeez! We wanted to wait for Trump to release what really happened. /s
I think it was worse than that. I was playing pixel dungeon today and an enormous robot shot poisonous gas at me! and that was it for jfk, rfk, and then trump.
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?
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.
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.
You should read up on George HW Bush
I mean, they killed his dad as well, it’s probably something he actually cares about.
Some of the votes he was leeching from trump will return to trump, but not all of them.
He asked the Harris camp for a cabinet post for his endorsement. If he helps trump become a dictator he will be Secretary of Health, I guarantee it.
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.
Wasn’t that what happened with Chris Christie? Kushner convinced trump to go back in any deal after the election?
I believe so. Was promised the AG position if I remember right.
