What About Jerry Ford?

Perhaps because President Ford was never hit.

But he was a target on two separate occasions by two women in September 1975, in California. The first was a Manson cult member, the second an FBI informant turned left-wing activist.

This the part that bothers me that most. That somehow Kirk or Trump could realistically sit int eh same shelf as MLK, JFK, or Lincoln

u/Odd-Buffalo-6355 15h ago

And his shooter wasn't even a Democrat

u/Not_Allowed_to_Die 15h ago

All three weren't. All three that MAGA claim tried to assassinate Trump were all MAGA. Each one voted for Trump at one point as well.

u/Soundo0owave 16h ago

Trump lmao, all 3 attempt were fake

u/WintersDoomsday 15h ago

Weird how we have heard nothing about the surviving “assassins” court cases since those “attempts”

u/Proper-Mobile-6438 15h ago

This was my thought. If there were actual evidence that the Kirk shooter was a dem, the news would say so nonstop. Instead, I’be seen him mentioned like twice in the past year.

u/Carrot-Elegant 15h ago

Plus there weren’t three

Are the libs on reddit really deranged enough to still be spreading this nonsense?

u/Soundo0owave 15h ago

Nonsense, really? Oh, I got shot in the ear and it grew back in three days.

u/JoffreeBaratheon 14h ago

Exaggerating the injury and the attempt being fake are 2 very different bars to go for. For you to think one somehow disproves the other really shows your inability to think critically on the matter.

u/Soundo0owave 14h ago

Trump's whole presidency is fucking fake. Seriously, it's a fucking TV show. Are you fucking oblivious? Critical thinking? You're going to come after me with critical thinking? Get over your fucking self. Fake outrage

u/JoffreeBaratheon 14h ago

Uh oh, someone getting a bit grouchy. That can't be good for your blood pressure. Maybe take a few deep breaths.

u/72nd_TFTS 14h ago

Maybe you should stop supporting a president that rapes children.

It's okay to be a snowflake. Most people are.

u/senator_corleone3 14h ago

Yes, you are increasingly incensed and whiney. Deal with it alone.

u/JoffreeBaratheon 13h ago

Ya, because your group are totally not the ones that can never get laid and go through adulthood as lifelong virgins, just LMAO.

u/DragonTacoCat 14h ago

A legit assassination doesn't have someone as cowardly as trump repeatedly standing up over and over again to put his head in the line of fire. Just doesn't happen.

The human instinct is to run, get out, etc or freeze.

Also if it was serious all of those SS should be fired for incompetence in not getting s sitting president out of danger immediatley as well as not let him keep putting himself in danger repeatedly. Their protocol is to haul ass out of there. Which they did not.

Also funny we never heard anything else after her 'inquiery' about the agents or their status or anything else.

u/JoffreeBaratheon 14h ago

You act as if Trump is some evil genius pitting 200 IQ behind his every action. He's a fucking moron that wasn't even coherent of the situation he was in at the time.

Then yes his SS fucking sucked, and like usual with government agencies, consequences do not exist for shit performance.

u/DragonTacoCat 14h ago edited 14h ago

Trump isn't even the mastermind. He is an incompetent baffoon. Doesn't mean everyone around him is though. And a lot are smart enough evil to set it up.

u/JoffreeBaratheon 14h ago

Oh please, they can't even cover up blowjobs or stop themself from texting war plans to the media. Its fucking government. If they actually tried to stage it, they'd be discovered and mocked by everyone, not just Alex Jones tier conspiracy theorists on reddit.

u/72nd_TFTS 14h ago

Are Trump supporters still trying to pretend that he doesn’t rape little girls?

0

u/senator_corleone3 14h ago

lol someone defends Trump and thinks other people are deranged.

1

u/JoffreeBaratheon 13h ago

Not Trump, just the deranged notion the assasssination attempts are fake. I get that reddit reinforced your Alex Jones tier level of reality, but try spreading that nonsense in the real world and see the reactions you get.

u/The_Monarch_Lives 15h ago

Thats what angered me so much about the rhetoric around the Kirk killing. Trying to liken him to or associate him with MLK Jr. Two people who were basically diametrically opposed in ideology.

6

u/Illustrious_Law8512 14h ago

Kirk could never in his former life incentivize or galvanize a million person march on anything, either.

3

u/BrineJones 14h ago

Kirk is just Horst Wessel

3

u/tinylittlemarmoset 14h ago

Didn’t Kirk say some pretty awful shit about MLK?

1

u/The_Monarch_Lives 13h ago

Yep. Along with saying the civil rights movement/amendment was among the worst things to have ever happened to the country.

u/PeaceBB14 15h ago

Somebody said it! because that is spitting in MLK and JFK faces to put them in the same picture

2

u/Not_Allowed_to_Die 15h ago

NewtownLaw is just a MAGA. Ignore it. They are pretending to be a woman and LGBT+ so they can attack anyone Dem and try to pretend they are too. Just another MAGA troll.

They showed up here yesterday, and think they are getting away with it when everyone is calling them out.

u/Admins_are_creeps 15h ago

Kirk you only hate because he thought differently than you and you are told you hate him. Trump though, that thing is a legit piece of shit. Trump most likely staged the attempt in order to drum up support.

6

u/flonky_guy 15h ago

You only defend Kirk because you drank his kool-aid and don't know how to think for yourself. The people who met and debated him know he was sexist, racist, and deeply intellectually dishonest.

-3

u/Admins_are_creeps 15h ago

You only showed your ignorance with this comment. I never heard of him until after he was killed. Some guy who went around arguing with college kids is hardly on the same level as Trump. As far as the slew of buzzwords you used, your side calls everyone you disagree with a nazi, racist sexist, bigot fascist like it makes you a better person because you called them that.

2

u/Common-Chain4060 14h ago

If you really never heard of him before he got shot, lemme drop a few facts about Charlie Kirk- he said he got scared if the plane he was on had a black pilot bc it will be more likely to crash. He said of school shootings that a few deaths are an acceptable price to pay for gun rights. He said trans people shouldn’t be allowed to own guns. It’s not fiction to say he was a bad person.

2

u/Nejrasc 14h ago

You debate in the same way Kirk did. Moving goalposts, putting Words in the Mouth of your opponent.

Be better.

u/cricada 12h ago

"We made a big mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s" isn't just something to "disagree" with. That's the rights abd livelihoods of millions of people who were being murdered and raped with impunity for 400 years. Kirk was a rotten person. Even if he was good to a few, his work was not good work. His cause was dark and twisted. He gave thousands of evil people something to rally around.

u/flonky_guy 7h ago

Keep drinkin' that Kool-Aid, Oh Yeah!

u/MoThrowMoAway 15h ago

“We made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s.”

No, this is why I hate him.

u/scudsboy36 15h ago

They can- they were all shot by democrats. Thats the whole point of the post lol

2

u/DisasterRadiant 14h ago

I seriously doubt it.

A little proof could go a long way.

2

u/Living_Plane_662 14h ago

Lincoln and MLK were shot by conservatives

1

u/DragonTacoCat 14h ago

Trump wasn't shot though

1

u/UrinalBuckshotsIII 14h ago

Sure he was. By a white supremacist. That's why the media stopped reporting on it very abruptly. Doesn't fit their narrative.

1

u/DragonTacoCat 14h ago

No ear shot heals that way. I agree with the rest of your point it was staged by a white supremist though

u/scudsboy36 14h ago

If not, then a piece of shrapnel from a ricochet struck his ear. Take off the tin foil hat buddy and gain some context. The point of the post flew over your head

Did you twist yourself into a pretzel to come to that conclusion?
