The Kennedy Family was our royalty. The Trump family is our crime family. Corrupt to the core and now a focus of the FBI. Surprised?

RICO might be applied to them. Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act passed in 1970 was designed to combat organized crime in the United States. It allows for prosecution and civil penalties for racketeering activity performed as part of an ongoing criminal enterprise. Another path to follow. :) If there is moneylaundering involved through its real estate ventures or bank fraud or wire fraud that is all illegal and criminal and corrupt. Another layer in the cake donjohn baked.

    Nonsense. It is well known that the basis of Joseph Kennedy's fortune was bootlegging during prohibition and investing in Hollywood he had affairs with actresses some of whom later kissed and told.   He disgraced himself publicly while ambassador to England by declaring that there was no way we could win a war against Germany.  John Kennedy was no moral hero and Ted Kennedy  hit on any female who came within ten feet of him. I know this because I have talked with people who worked for them. This post was edited by officegirl at April 13, 2018 7:44 AM MDT

      Great rebuttal!  How easy it is to ignore truth when pushing one's agenda, right?  Thank you for presenting a differing viewpoint.

    Hi Randy, thank you. I don't remember much about President Kennedy when he was in because I was five years old then.  But from what I have watched on TV and heard from other people he was a person of considerable charm and his youth gave many people a lot of hope.  Certainly his father's wealth and connections were able to grease the way for him. Whereas President Trump comes from a business background where he is used to playing "hardball" as they say. And his father more challenged him to do something with what he gave him. 

    What Rosie does not seem to want to understand is that much of the vote for Pres. Trump was not on the basis of charm but rather his willingness to adhere to certain ideological principles that are dear to us.  He was not a conservatives but was willing to stand up for some conservative ideals.  Many of us actually supported more conventional conservative candidates but he was able to muster more popularity so in the end we had no choice but to vote for him because he came the closest to what my husband and I believed. 

    Of course, as I am often saying on here, none of us is perfect, including presidents.  So always wise not to expect too much of anyone.

    I think we can become so partisan that we end up seeing things only as a matter of black and white. Which is too bad. Or maybe when we become older that is just naturally how we see everything.  But when I ever become like that you have leave to give me a good swift kick!

      Weren't both John F. Kennedy and Robert Kennedy taking turns hopping into bed with Marilyn Monroe WHILE they were married?  Didn't the lifelong alcoholic Ted Kennedy allow Mary Jo Kopechne to die after he crashed his car off a bridge as he drove her to a secluded area in the dark of night for a romp?  Oh, he was married at the time also. Have you forgotten about the closed-room dirty deals that were being made by the Kennedy administration in regard to labor unions, big business, FBI illegally spying on US citizens, the Cold War, Bay of Pigs, Vietnam, intervention on other countries' governments, etc?

      Yep, royalty.

    Who in positions of power isn't Courrpt Randy.....maybe not at first when they first take up politics ....but most all end up that way or their Courrpt new chums would soon out them....
    Englands royal family is no different...I think our Queen is a very nice person...she worked as a lorry driver during ww11 and I've never heard one wisper bad about her....Her sister liked a bit of ruff  between the sheets on her Indian island hideaway...
    Prince Phillip and some of his kids are devients  as well ....  

    So many english MPs of yesteryear and even now are sexual deviants .....how on earth do you stop it if the courts and the police continue to protect them....
    Most likely many high up policemen and very senior government ministers are perverts to for it all to carry on for so long.....

    Big disagreement here.  The Kennedy family were extremely corrupt!  The Trump family has a ways to go before he can even come close to their level of corruption.

    The dad was a scumbum. You disliked JFK and Bobby? JFK was the first prez for whom I could vote and on the day of his funeral I brought a small TV to work and watched John John salute the casket as it rolled by. When Bobby was assassinated I mourned. I thought he really cared about people and was much warmer than JFK. I could be wrong. I think doofygoofylucy is evil incarnate. I despise him. So we find an area of disagreement. So what? Thank you for your reply Shuhak and Happy Friday. The damage to the country that the diptstick don has already done may be irreversible. What else he does before he is captured and taken away I cannot say. But I pray every day that a deus ex machina or miracle will intervene and save us. :( This post was edited by RosieG at April 13, 2018 11:26 AM MDT
