Is there anything interesting the JFK documents or is it just Trump feeding a nothing burger to the conspiracy wing of his base?

    I don’t get how someone can be a consumer of conspiracies and not find anything sus with amount of redacted names on the Epstein list or the different phases and Epstein saying he was close friends with Trump and knew the inner workings of the first Trump admin shortly before he died.

    Hundreds of unredacted names, addresses, and social security numbers of government officials (some still alive) as well as Donnie Dipshit doxxing his own lawyer (Joe DiGenova I think).

    Aside from that, it’s all the same stuff Biden and previous admins had released. Notice that there have been NO news stories about new details?

    Edit: This is a good read:

    Only the dim thought there was more to it.

    Hypothetically, let’s say everything conspiracy theorist thought happened is what happened, what do we do with that information?

    There possibly will be, but it will take months, possibly up to a year to really digest any info.

    If something is obscure in terms of you need to actually connect three or four disparate facts together and they’re not obvious individually, then you’ll really need years to have historians parse that and start publishing new monographs on the topic.

    So, revisited again ten years from now, possibly there will be some interesting new insight published in a book or a few articles.  Whether that insight will be something most people are interested in is… unlikely.  Historians of the Cold War or presidential histories or buffs of this particular event will, of course, find it interesting. 

    A much more interesting (possibly) event to wholly declassify and release records for would be the Cuban Missile Crisis.  I imagine there are some illuminating facts there that are still top secret.

    Yeah, turns out it was just a very elaborate suicide. Depression kills man.

    It’s thousands of pages of BS.

    If there was anything there, they’d be crowing about it. They aren’t. It’s all BS.

    Meanwhile, we still don’t know who was fucking children with Epstein….
