It was poppa Joe that ingrained these ideas of sexual predation into his sons. Why? Good Catholics, all? I certainly don’t know but suspect letting impulses rein with a Soviet Spy may have sealed the fate of peace loving “Camelot”

for JFK. Other factors abound; certainly seeking to prosecute the Mafia kingpins did Attorney General Bobby no good in the long term. Don’t believe he sought the appointment but accepted it likely to protect his brother. Even Teddy got caught up in it; but his life was spared if not his reputation and the Giant of the Senate did many good things, perhaps retribution, perhaps for Camelot.

I fully agree. Plus, one of the conspiracy theories that abounded back in ‘63, ‘64 was there was more than one shooter, and the government (Lyndon and his wife), or Russia, was tied up in the assignations of JFK. The same thing when Bobby was killed.

He was no angel but he had vision and goals. They murdered him.

Jackie knew that Jack had a sexual addiction but it was Bobby who had the big affair with Monroe.

No, but maybe other than Obama and Biden, I can’t name a president that’s been an ‘angel’. Especially when it comes to keeping his pants zipped!

In JFK’s defense, if Marylyn Monroe payed down in front of me and spread it out like a smorgasbord on Thanksgiving, I’m not sure I could keep my vows either!!!

Yep. And I read in a book about JFK years ago that he frequented MMS home quite regularly when Bobby wasn’t there. I do believe she was licking both sides of the lollipop!
