someone captioned a picture of one of the banners, later adding in a comment: “And then what happened.”

It turned out to be a pretty mind-blowing day in Dallas after all.

You cheeky fucker

Lmao holy fuck that is amazingly, comically tasteless. Like sure, it was 60 years ago, but I’m also pretty sure that’s not an element of the city’s history that most current residents are terribly proud of.

Had a childhood friend visit DC once, he came back and told me he "saw the place Lincoln got JFKed"

Still laugh about that phrase.

I hate it when people say “Happy Fall” and refuse to say “Happy Day JFK Was Shot.” Starbucks doesn’t even do a cup any more.

Maybe “blowback” wasn’t the best word to use

[–] ericisshort@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

It was the prefect word.

Not as much blowback as Jackie got

Do people under 25 years old feel the same way about 9-11 the same way I feel about the JFK/RFK headshots?
