JFK the junkie: The Crown's unflattering portrayal of the 35th president as a jealous, [tr]

He is perhaps the most portrayed president in American history. But fans of The Crown can expect to see a different side of John F. Kennedy when he appears in the show's second season. On the surface, Micheal C. Hall's Kennedy may seem ever the charming and inspiring leader, underneath the facade is a jealous, controlling husband and a high functioning drug addict. The Netflix drama, which focuses on the lives of the British royals, pulls no punches as it portrays JFK as a scheming conniver who is prone to sudden outbursts when he away from the public's gaze.

JFK’s corruption was papered over by the Democrat media, who fed the citizens the myth of Camelot.

The truth hurts... And it always stands the test of time.

BS does not and Kennedy’s presidency was complete BS from the start to finish and beyond as presented by the left leaning, Democrat loving press for decades. As always the truth shines light on this failed historical individual.

Kennedy was a lech, a pervert and pathetic excuse for a statesman. A narcissistic social misfit who’s main goal was enriching himself and his family and propping up the Irish mafia by attacking the Sicilian version. His main goal was power and he wielded it like an amateur.

The entire Kennedy family is a stain on America and the Irish.

JFK's stain is just a little darker than the rest.

Its taken 50 years for the MSM to pull back the curtain back and admit all the fraud and moral/financial/political corruption of the Kennedy’s, but the truth always comes out.

It will probably take that long also to learn the same about Obama.

Camelot? I don’t recall reading about King Arthur being a prolific womanizer and drug taker.

In the long run of history, it may end up justifying the Deep State’s move to get rid of him.

He was hooked on opiates due to his back issues, or at least that is what I remember.

Big news from 2067 -- "We now have reason to believe that (perhaps) Obama's birth certificate may not be in Hawaii."
