U.S.S Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group Operations

[oncemorewithqueering]

i truly do believe, or want to believe, that the ending of twin peaks is positive. that laura screams and kills Judy, that laura screams and she can ascend to the white lodge, where she belongs and will always belong. that she is happy, and safe, and will never have to scream again. i truly do believe, or want to believe, that the ending of twin peaks is positive. that coop finds his way home, back to Harry, the two are synonymous. that they go for coffee and go fishing and can sit in the quiet of the lake , even only for a few months. that coop won’t mourn harry when he dies, but rather thank whomever he believes in that he got that time with harry.

i truly do believe, or want to believe, that the ending of twin peaks is positive. that audrey wakes from a dissociative episode and returns to twin peaks. that coop can tell her that the man she trusted, the only man, didn’t take advantage of her. that she can trust people. that her dad is a better person now.

i truly do believe, or want to believe, that the ending of twin peaks is positive. and even if you don’t, it’s a nice thought, isn’t it?

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.

nobody caring about what happens to u or wht ur up to in general rlly sucks when ur trying to get a second opinion or outside perspective on something and im not just saying this coz im posting asking for input abt courses to take im saying it because im kind of sick of ppl in my everyday life just not having anything at all to say when i talk abt what's going on w me like other ppl are always talking about their bullshit and their emotional states like it's the most important thing on earth and i indulge and engage but the moment im like im looking to do x thing or y thing or if im ever like the most horrific thing you could ever imagine happened to me the other night ppl will literally just not even notice. which makes me think i should start lying about my life and shit and see how long it takes for someone to notice.

If you're teaching US History and you mention the Cuban Missile Crisis without mentioning, in the god-damned preface, that the US had put missiles in Turkey, you lose serious credibility.

This sort of US aggression abroad, being ignored, is part of how we got to where we currently stand...

I've unfollowed 2 history YTers over this.

This sin of omission is its own form of propaganda.

Ok I get the idea we can't judge people by the values of their time argument, but we absolutely should on some level do it. Mostly since it undermines the people who did recognize the fucked up issues and fought against them.

I never knew why John Quincey Adams was such an unpopular President besides the kinda fucked up way he got the position until I read more about him in a college history class. The issue was in a large part because he was Anti-Slavery and Pro-Native American. Our Sixth President had morals closer to the modern day then almost any other President for decades. (Even Lincoln only became anti-slavery when Frederick Douglass went to him, in person, to convince him on it).

John Brown, Slavekiller Extriodanaire was also Pro-Native American. Many early American Feminist were Abolitionist who were outraged at the way the British treated female Abolitionist. Grant and Truman, despite the latters own Racism, were the first Presidents to oppose the KKK (Grant when it was made, Truman when he learnt they were lynching Black Veterans).

Sure, we shouldnt allow the fact George Washington owned slaves to stop us from having some level of respect for him... but we should still acknowledge it was wrong, and that other people back then both knew it was wrong and opposed it.

I am also sorry if this post is a bit to USA-Centric, its one of the parts of history I know the most about. I'm certain there are plenty of nations that have similar histories of people who fought for modern values back when they were unpopular.

Former US President Harry S Truman discussing the challenges of establishing Israel in a recording that aired in 1964-1965. Link

"We had several other people in the country even among the Jews the Zionists particularly who were against anything that is to be done if they couldn't have the whole of Palestine and everything handed to them on a silver plate so they wouldn't have to do anything. It couldn't be done. We had to take it in small doses. You couldn't move 5-6 million people out of a country and fill it up with 5-6 million more and expect both sets of them to be pleased. We had all sorts of objections to everything that was done. But something had to be done. We went ahead and done it and had it done and now it's working out. Eventually I think we'll have them all satisfied. But its going to take a great deal of time to get the job done."

When ex-President Harry Truman said he was “disturbed” by the CIA’s illicit covert activities abroad, it set off a firestorm in the agency he founded in 1947...
