The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

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.

"Blowback Ahead"

I see what you did there.

It's mind-blowing that they'd choose that for the actual article title.

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.

Blowback and to the left…

And on ms Kennedy

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

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?
