Prescient(ish), but quite the answer for a roomful of young children: a man must die before a woman can become president

I never knew that he said this, but I have always held this same belief, because America is sO deeply misogynistic (TERFs dni) and on top of that, America is also deeply racist. So now we have to contend with racialized misogyny. Which is why I won’t relax until Trump actually loses. Despite the bounce Democrats seem to be experiencing rn, I’m still concerned that the pro-Kamala hoopla may be in a be in a bubble (like everyone who believed that Hillary was inevitable and would easily beat Trump - and yes, I know that she won the popular vote).

Please do not take this as a death wish or me being against Kamala or anyone else beating Trump - I would vote for a dead dog over Trump, and I hope that everyone gets out and votes against Trump in November.

But this leads me to another question:

Am I missing something? What are the downsides of Biden resigning from office sometime before the end of his term, like Republicans keep demanding? I'm not necessarily suggesting this course of action, because if Republicans want it, then it’s probably not good. But on the other hand, Harris IMMEDIATELY becomes president even though she would still need to be elected in November. It would be hella interesting if Biden resigned a week or two before the election and BOOM, President Kamala Harris.

Was Trump's assassination attempt the first time people other than the president were also killed or hurt?

No, it definitely was not the first time. There have been a number of additional victims during Presidential assassinations or assassination attempts throughout American history.

Here are the incidents where someone other than the President was wounded in an assassination attempt on Presidents or Presidential candidates:

•April 14, 1865, Washington, D.C. At the same time that John Wilkes Booth was shooting Abraham Lincoln at Ford's Theatre, Booth's fellow conspirator, Lewis Powell, attacked Secretary of State William H. Seward at Seward's home in Washington. Seward had been injured earlier that month in a carriage accident and was bedridden from his injuries, and Powell viciously stabbed the Secretary of State after forcing his way into Seward's home by pretending to deliver medicine. Powell also attacked two of Seward's sons, a male nurse from the Army who was helping to care for Seward, and a messenger from the State Department. Another Booth conspirator, George Azterodt, was supposed to kill Vice President Andrew Johnson at the same time that Lincoln and Seward were being attacked in an attempt to decapitate the senior leadership of the Union government, but Azterodt lost his nerve and got drunk instead. A total of five people were wounded at the Seward home as part of the Booth conspiracy, but Lincoln was the only person who was killed.

•February 15, 1933, Miami, Florida Just 17 days before his first inauguration, President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt was the target of an assassination attempt in Miami's Bayfront Park. Giuseppe Zangara fired five shots at Roosevelt as FDR was speaking from an open car. Roosevelt was not injured, but all five bullets hit people in the crowd, including Chicago Mayor Anton Cermak who was in the car with FDR. Roosevelt may have been saved by a woman in the crowd who hit Zangara's arm with her purse as she noticed he was aiming his gun at the President-elect and caused him to shoot wildly. Mayor Cermak was gravely wounded and immediately rushed to a Miami hospital where he died about two weeks later.

•November 1, 1950, Blair House, Washington, D.C. From 1949-1952, the White House was being extensively renovated with the interior being almost completely gutted and reconstructed. President Harry S. Truman and his family moved into Blair House, a Presidential guest house across the street from the White House that is normally used for visiting VIPs, for 3 1/2 years. On November 1, 1950 two Puerto Rican nationalists, Griselio Torresola and Oscar Collazo, tried to shoot their way into Blair House and attempt to kill President Truman, who was upstairs (reportedly napping) at the time. A wild shootout ensued on Pennsylvania Avenue, leaving White House Police Officer Leslie Coffelt and Torresola dead, and Collazo and two other White House Police Officers wounded.

•November 22, 1963, Dallas, Texas Texas Governor John Connally was severely wounded after being shot while riding in the open limousine with President John F. Kennedy when JFK was assassinated.

•June 5, 1968, Ambassador Hotel, Los Angeles, California When he finished delivering a victory speech after winning California's Democratic Presidential primary, Senator Robert F. Kennedy of New York was shot several times while walking through the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel. While RFK was mortally wounded and would die a little over a day later, five other people were also wounded in the shooting.

•May 15, 1972, Laurel, Maryland Segregationist Alabama Governor George Wallace was paralyzed from the waist down after being shot by Arthur Bremer at a campaign rally when he was running for the Democratic Presidential nomination. Three bystanders were also wounded in the shooting, but survived.

•September 22, 1975, San Francisco, California A taxi driver in San Francisco was wounded when Sara Jane Moore attempted to shoot President Gerald Ford as he left the St. Francis Hotel. Moore's first shot missed the President by several inches and the second shot, which hit the taxi driver, was altered when a Vietnam veteran in the crowd named Oliver Sipple grabbed her arm as she was firing. Just 17 days earlier and 90 miles away, Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme, a member of the Charles Manson family, had tried to shoot President Ford as he walked through Capitol Park in Sacramento but nobody was injured.

•March 30, 1981, Washington, D.C. President Ronald Reagan was shot and seriously wounded by as he left the Washington Hilton after giving a speech. Three other people were wounded in the shooting, including White House Press Secretary James Brady who was shot in the head and partially paralyzed, Washington D.C. Police Office Thomas Delahanty, and Secret Service agent Tim McCarthy. Video of the assassination attempt shows that when the shots were fired, McCarthy turned and made himself a bigger target in order to shield the President with his own body. President Reagan was struck by a bullet that ricocheted off of the Presidential limousine.

fic rec friday

The Adventures of Gerald White

by ThePuppeteer28 on Ao3

Gerald White is definately NOT Sirius Black in disguise. Snape is not taking this well.or; Haters (Snape) can't stand to see a bad bitch (Gerald White) winning (living life).

Grimsfall

by pixelated(prettyremus) on Ao3

There is a legend in the old city of Grimsfall that a large, black creature used to emerge from the forest at night, and anyone who met its gaze would be driven to madness before the thing dragged them into the depths of hell.

Felt like either one of those was a bit short for a fic rec friday so you get both ^^ The Adventures of Gerald White are just a sweet little crack fic and you basically get exactly what it says on the tin!

Grimfall is a kind of spooky os with some fairytale elements and is pretty smutty in comparison to what I usually rec, so be warned!

don't think my favourite tropes make sense for this one since the fics are very different from each other ^^'

As always leave lots of love and kudos to the author and have an amazing rest of the week <3

22/44 assassination plots were against republican presidents.

22/44 assassination plots were against democratic presidents.

Note: It was FDR’s 1932 campaign policies that caused a major shift in party ideologies. Prior to this election, Republican and Democratic conservatism was broadly flipped. Their parties are left black to reflect my inability to equate their affiliation to a modern party.
