According to a new analysis,
[...] In this paper, simple one-dimensional dynamical models are uniquely applied to study in detail the fatal shot and the motion of the President's head observed in the film. Using known parameters from the crime scene, explicit force calculations are carried out for determining the projectile's retardation during tissue passage along with the resulting transfer of momentum and kinetic energy (KE). The computed instantaneous KE transfer within the soft tissue is found to be consistent with the formation of a temporary cavity associated with the observed explosion of the head, and subsequent quantitative examination of this phenomenon reveals two delayed forces at play in the backward motion of the President following impact. It is therefore found that the observed motions of President Kennedy in the film are physically consistent with a high-speed projectile impact from the rear of the motorcade, these resulting from an instantaneous forward impulse force, followed by delayed rearward recoil and neuromuscular forces.

I guess that's something I'll never experience: a presidential assassination worth shedding tears.

Would Mike Pence as President really be an improvement?

I'm young, so here's the presidents I remember: Reagan, Bush the Elder, Clinton, Bush the Younger, Obama, and Trump. A Hollywood actor, a political dynasty, a womanizer, an alcoholic idiot from previous political dynasty, a community organizer, and a reality TV star. Warmongers, all of them, except perhaps Trump, assuming the CIA is forcing his hand because She Lost.
Bush the Elder is maybe the only one I have a smidgen of respect for. That's not saying much.
I'm indifferent about Darth Pence.

I can remember Mr. Carter as well. Our Prime Minister insulted him.
I also remember the way our media very subtly implied Mr. Reagan was a moron, but we should be polite, because the Americans are our friends.
I think there was a general feeling that after one term you Americans would figure out that you had elected an idiot and give someone else a turn, so imagine our surprise when you voted for him a second time.

bush head of the cia, senior? likely involved with the jfk assasination. he waasss just done killing Noriega and had some free time on his hands.
