18. I remember Kennedy.

Fri May 29, 2026, 11:11 PM

Friday

I was a child when he was killed, but I have memories of the event and the aftermath. I remember the mood of the country before Dallas, and after Dallas.

I don't like the infatuation that Trump seems to have with him - and the crap that all of the QAnon crazies spout about him AND JFK, Jr. I've posted before about a former classmate who is full blown QAnon and I follow her for shits and giggles. Just last week, she posted something about "that man standing behind President Trump is John F. Kennedy, Jr., and he's been working behind the scenes" blah blah blah.

JFK, Jr. died in a plane crash as we all know. IF he HAD faked his death, he wouldn't be supporting what Donald Trump does.

The mention of the Kennedy name by Trump and/or QAnon is sacrilegious to me. It felt personal when Trump defaced the Kennedy Center by putting his name with Kennedy's - as if he were somehow an equal.

Hah! Trump wishes he commanded an ounce of the respect that JFK had.

So, needless to say, I was very happy about today's events.
