    This is how you virtue signal on the right. If there was anything juicy in those files it would have been headlined by the White House already. His idiot followers now pat themselves on the back for this “great win against the swamp”, while never reading a single line themselves from the records and forgetting all about it by tomorrow. Great distraction, but now I’m curios what Trump is trying to distract from.

    They’re not going to release anything that hasn’t been released already. It’s another method of flooding the zone with garage and distractions from what people need to be paying attention to

      Sure but remember the staunchest Republicans may largely be boomers in their 60s and 70s. For many of them, JFK was in their formative years and had immense staying power in their minds and in media for years and years and years afterward. Not unlike 9/11 to 14-year-old me and the ensuing two decades of massive longlasting consequences – whether I like it or not, it was a singular event that defined a generation

    Tuesday’s release represents a small, outstanding tranche of the more than six million pages of records collected by the National Archives – the majority of which have already been declassified and are available online or in person for review, according to the agency.

    So not quite as spectacular as will probably be heralded by Trump’s followers. But maybe there’s some new information in the minority of new pages/documents that could be off interest to JFK conspiracy theorists.

    • There will be nothing new. Its just another distraction technique to keep people talking about things other than the awful things Trump is doing.

    He’s up to some bullshit now. Distract people with the JFK papers whilst he executes Daddy Pussytin’s bidding.

      Not even. It’s a two-pronged populist treat.

      1. You did the thing and released the docs.

      2. No matter what comes out, it will be boring and droll. And the documents being old means there will be gaps. That allllllllllll pushes the far right conspiracy loons directly into “tha Deep State did um!”
