Donald Trump’s administration has officially put an end to the decades-long guessing game surrounding the assassination of John F. Kennedy. The files related to JFK’s untimely demise on November 22, 1963, have been released, albeit with some predictable redactions. Despite Trump’s wishes for a clean release, it seems that the government couldn’t resist keeping a few secrets under wraps because, hey, who doesn’t love a little drama?
This document dump was in line with a 1992 law that mandated the release of all files by 2017—an obligation that was conveniently ignored by Joe Biden, who seems to have mastered the art of kicking things further down the road than an overzealous soccer player. Apparently, Biden’s ability to kick was as feeble as his grasp on, well, pretty much everything. So instead of an exciting revelation, Americans were left with files that confirmed what has long been suspected: the CIA had a watchful eye on Lee Harvey Oswald and the Kennedy team had more than a few trust issues regarding the agency’s operations.
For those hoping for sensational disclosures, the files don’t provide the smoking gun needed to settle the scores of conspiracy theorists. There won’t be any Second Shooter on the grassy knoll revelations, nor will anyone find compelling evidence that Jim Garrison was a secret genius. What remains in these documents serves only to fuel the ongoing quest for the next theory du jour among conspiracy buffs. After all, what’s politics without a sprinkle of intrigue?
Hilarious: 'First JFK Doc' Released Explains in Just 12 Words Who Had Him Killed: This reminds us of the time Norm Macdonald went on “The View” and said “I thought it was a matter of record” that Bill Clinton “murdered a guy.” https://t.co/ZfSiKh4oga pic.twitter.com/g0BpvVvJ8F

Amidst the revelations, there’s been a fair amount of discussion on social media, with commentators having a chuckle over how different personalities react. A humorous take from a self-proclaimed “Senior Fellow” on X (formerly Twitter) compared these files to a life-altering truth bomb. The conclusion? It doesn’t change the fact that some folks still can’t resist dragging in the Clintons whenever discussions of shady political dealings arise.
Speaking of which, mention the Clintons, and it’s like opening Pandora’s box of conspiracy theories. The infamous “bodies in the wake” theory has become a staple of political humor, despite it having roots in some seriously grim incidents, like the tragic death of Vince Foster. Yet, the continuing saga showcases the uncanny ability of the Clintons to inspire such theories, even decades after JFK’s headline-grabbing death. Who knew that a 16-year-old Hillary Clinton had all the makings of a master manipulator back in the day? Clearly, there’s more than a hint of dark humor when contemplating such absurdity.
In a world where joking about Republicans earns scorn while the Clintons are off-limits, the media’s discomfort with the more outrageous jokes only serves to spark creativity. Remember the time comedian Norm Macdonald made waves on “The View”? His offhand comments about Bill Clinton had the hosts nearly choking on their coffee. The Clintons are indeed the sacred cows of American politics, yielding plenty of fodder for humor while evoking gasps from those who take themselves far too seriously. In the end, the release of the JFK files may not have unraveled any conspiracies, but it certainly has provided a fresh take on political shenanigans and the hilarity that ensues when political correctness meets the chaotic arena of truth and speculation.
