Trump moves to declassify Amelia Earhart records

Dam.

No thanks, I'll wait for the Epstein files. Unredacted.

Why were they still classified? Evidence of sapphic tendencies?

What's this all about? Is he going to use this as an example of why he thinks DEI is bad?

He can’t distract MAGA from the red meat of the Epstein files with some dusty old info about a missing lesbian pilot from a century ago. Nice try Drumpf.

If he wants to distract, he should release the Roswell information on UFOs.

Why in the world would anything about Amelia Earhart be classified?

Was she trafficked by Ghislaine Maxwell?

Now do the Epstein files Trump, you promised to release all of the FBI's investigative files when you ran for President.

And no the grand jury testimony is not the investigative files, in fact the judge who refused to release the Grand Jury testimony said the DOJ is free to release what they have, so don't come to him asking to release the Grand Jury testimony when you have it all and can release it yourself.

Amelia was a handsome woman. Who here is going to take one for the team and read her files?

I'm also wondering why anything pertaining to Amelia Earhart would be classified after so many years.

It’s unfortunate that the first word in the thread title is “Trump”, since some people will only focus on that instead of discussing the more interesting topic of Amelia Earhart.

Now we'll finally find out who was behind her DEI hire!

Trump really has his finger on the pulse! Epstein who? Amelia Earhart is the hottest topic of 2025.

She was more incompetent than the woman who drove the Black Hawk into the passenger plane at Reagan National.

Look at that nice doggie over there! Isn’t he cute! Let’s go pet him!

Amelia looks a little bit like the Senatrice.

Also, where are the Epstein files?

I drove to the Amelia Earhart home in Atchison, Kansas but it was closed. It looked quaint from the outside.

Another fun fact, another home she once lived in is now the site of a Little Caesar’s in Des Moines, Iowa.

Fascinating, r19. I'm so glad you shared that.

I wonder what he watched on t.v. the night before?

This is either a really sad misdirection or another sign of brain rot.

It's obvious that this was an Andes rugby team plane crash situation where Earhart died in the crash and her navigator survived by eating her corpse.

r10 Me, after I take of a few things first.

If it was classified, maybe it involved the rumor that she was asked/ agreed to spy for the US while flying over the Pacific.

Pan American Airways, with assistance from the US Navy, was mapping the Pacific for commercial air service in the 1930’s while the Japanese Navy was simultaneously surveying Pacific islands and atolls for military use. The potential stops had been mapped, but both sides of the eventual conflict were attempting to determine which could be developed as ports and airfields, ostensibly for commercial purposes but soon enough for military use.

The USN had pre-positioned ships along her expected route to offer radio direction finding and communications. These vessels were used to search for Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, when radio transmissions ceased.When her plane was lost, the United States did not want Japan to know how deeply they were involved in the effort to chart the Pacific Ocean nor how useful that information would be within a few years.

Aaron Rupar:

If I was Donald Trump I would not be drawing the public’s attention right now to my ability to release files.

If they have information about her that was in the classifieds, I wonder if it was something in the personals. I

Question ~ why would trump promise to release the files if he knew his name was in them?

R28, she disappeared nine years before he was born, so I doubt his name is in them.

Do the Lindbergh baby next!

Wait till Trump finds out she was a lesbian. Immediate cancel!

“No dyke in history had ever flown so far and so fast! It was tremendous, really terrific!”

Release the Epstein files already you demented orange pig!

I'm not sad she's dead. She was a dyke with small tits.

Breaking - declassified Earhart records reveal Trump was a frequent passenger aboard Amelia's flights to Epstein's pedo island!

R25, once upon a time, many decades ago, Earhart's disappearance was treated as a great mystery. Some people claimed that the Japanese had something to do with her disappearance and may have held her prisoner.

Why would Trump try to use Amelia Earhart as a distraction from the Epstein files.

MAGAts don't know who the hell she is (as with most historical figures cause "book learnin' is for fags"), nor do they care.

Oh, did she molest little kids?

I bet some 5th grade teacher made him read a book about her and he busted a nut to the pictures and he's been obsessed ever since. So he read that book and Hitler's speeches and maaaaaybe Art of the Deal

[Quote] Another fun fact, another home she once lived in is now the site of a Little Caesar’s in Des Moines, Iowa.

I’ve ordered pizza from there, but it never arrives.

[Quote] MAGAts don't know who the hell she is (as with most historical figures cause "book learnin' is for fags"), nor do they care.

As soon as he mentions someone or something on social media, the MAGA rubes scurry to find out all about it and become half-assed “experts” on the subject.

And so it distracts them from the fact that Trump raped sex slaves.

There was a fascinating profile of her a few months ago in the New Yorker. Apparently she was a barely qualified pilot pushed into the limelight by her opportunistic husband. Everyone knew she was not up for the flight, but the couple were hungry for fame and cash.

[quote]Do the Lindbergh baby next!

Ya stinking pedo!

Killary with a surface to air missile.

I could see him trying to blame James Comey or Hunter Biden for killing the Lindbergh baby

"He got in a time machine and killed that kid! No one can prove otherwise!"

Well, I guess we're not going to have an interesting thread about Amelia Earhart.

R24 According to Captain Janeway on Star Trek Voyager, it is historical knowledge that she was on a spy mission. Oh, and she disappeared because she was transported to the Delta quadrant.

Mystery solved.

He must have an entire secret cabinet that comes up with daily weird shit for him to do and release and declassify and sign into order. Everyday it’s something so you can’t remember the last. The White House should just post stories in Instagram like the NYPost.

This is another conspiracy theory. Of course it will distract the QAnon and MAGA loons away from the evidence of Trump being a kiddie raper.

[quote] Well, I guess we're not going to have an interesting thread about Amelia Earhart.

You just have to ignore the nuts who are having a conversation among themselves about something other than Earhart.

[quote] Some people claimed that the Japanese had something to do with her disappearance and may have held her prisoner.

If she was spying, it would be nice to have the issue settled, and not just be a matter of speculation.

Will Hillary Swank play her in the sequel? Amelia:28 Days Later. Produced after the secret info comes out.

Or perhaps Jamie Lee Curtis or Viola Davis.

Why is everyone assuming she was gay? She was married to George P. Putnam.

Here's the New Yorker article in case anyone wants to read it.

[quote]Why is everyone assuming she was gay?

Because we've seen pictures of her.

[quote] Why is everyone assuming she was gay?

From Wikipedia:

[quote]Putnam, who was known as GP, was divorced in 1929 and sought out Earhart, proposing to her six times before she agreed to marry him. Earhart referred to her marriage as a "partnership" with "dual control"; in a letter to Putnam and hand-delivered to him on the day of the wedding, she wrote:

[quote]I want you to understand I shall not hold you to any midaevil [sic] code of faithfulness to me nor shall I consider myself bound to you similarly ... I may have to keep some place where I can go to be by myself, now and then, for I cannot guarantee to endure at all times the confinement of even an attractive cage.

Could that “some place where I can go to be by myself” actually have been a den of lesbians? Perhaps the files will shed light.

R55 She was an aviator. Did you expect she would have worn Sunday floral dresses and have hair down to her waist?

r57 she was really dykey.

R58 Every woman that doesn't fit that description is considered "dokey" on DL

R57, like Elly May, she could have put on a pretty dress now and then to try to catch a man.

[quote] Every woman that doesn't fit that description is considered "dokey" on DL

She looked like a dude.

I can't imagine her long, lonely plane trips in a rickety plane, esp. over water.

R60 Why would a married woman try to catch a man?

R61 If lesbians look like dudes do gay men look like chicks?

She looked like she could fix a broken propeller blade in a jif.

This woman wrote an exhaustive biography of Earhart's life. Lots of background about how she ended-up being a worldwide celebrity, and the Svengali-like husband who was largely responsible for her fame.

R66, I don't think I have an interest in reading a biography about Amelia, but she's featured throughout "Fly Girls," a terrific read about female aviators in the 1920s and 30s.

Nice Try Trump, Now release the Epstein files.

Didn't he say he was going to release the JFK assassination records? LIAR.

[Quote] Well, I guess we're not going to have an interesting thread about Amelia Earhart.

Yes, perhaps we can shed some light on that neglected topic.

Fail.

In a flight cao she's almost indistinguishable from Lindbergh.

Will they declassify the fact that Amelia Earhart was a CARPET MUNCHER?

She was bisexual wasn’t she? I always assumed the affair with Gene Vidal was true.

Gore Vidal had an interesting take her final flight. I don’t take him too seriously though. He was exhausting when it came to putting himself near the center of all major events in the US after 1935.

She would have been much, much better off as a lesbian. She wasn’t an accomplished pilot. She was pushed around and used by her husband,

She flew into a hurricane and…

I find Dorothy Binney Palmer, the first Mrs. Putnam, and daughter of the inventor of Crayola, to be much more interesting than Earhart. Dorothy had an affair with a man 19 years her junior while she was still married, but even so, the home-wrecker Earhart stole Dorothy’s husband.

A move like this will definitely bring down the cost of living in the US.

Amelia with the woman she wronged, Dorothy, and Dorothy's son David, Amelia's stepson.

Dorothy and Amelia both have caneface

Amelia and stepson David, 1932.

Amelia gives off Eleanor Roosevelt vibes.

R74 How does her having an affair with a man, while married to a man, makes her a bisexual?

I've read the same thing, too, r75, that her skills weren't to the level demanded by her flights.

Well, Amelia was certainly a step up from the first Mrs. Putnam

Stepson David is a sexy little piece. Whatever happened to him?

Dorothy looked like even more of a dyke than Amelia did!

First members of the mile high club.

While we're on the subject of missing lesbians maybe Trump can open the Amy Bradley files!

[quote] I have been asked by many people about the life and times of Amelia Earhart

No they didn’t

Enough of this twaddle. Release the Dorothy Kilgallen files!

Why does Amelia always look dirty? The camera was never her friend. Also, why are her tits so small?
