So the “rules of engagement” didn’t require the SS to let Squeaky get a shot off first? Unfair.

Point well taken!

The press is trying to make the assassination attempt on Trump a semi-regular event and to lessen the impact it had on the American people at large. Don't fall for it and don't feed into it. I like a joke just as much as the next person but many of these silly memes are just taking away from the seriousness of what happened, cheapens the death of the innocent hero-dad and injuries to the others in the line of fire.

This is really serious.

Hmm. Ford: attempted. Reagan: shot. Scalise: shot. Trump: shot.

I feel like there is a pattern here...

Wonder which of her body parts was squeaky.

Squeaky Fromme had the drop on Ford's protective detail but pulled the trigger and nothing happened.

"At the time of the attack, Fromme’s 1911 held four rounds in the magazine, and the chamber was empty. The hammer fell with an audible snap. She exclaimed, “It wouldn’t go off!” Once subdued she said, “It didn’t go off. Can you believe it? It didn’t go off.”

Apparently she didn't have the finger strength to load more rounds in the magazine and had only cocked the hammer but never racked the slide.

From what I remember from those days, it was a US Army 1911 .45 sold as army surplus back in the Dark Ages.
It belonged to another person, Frome stole it but did not know how to use it. So she just pulled the trigger and nothing happened. (Thankfully)

LOL. If you’d asked me if the only president we had that was appointed by the CIA was still alive, I’d have said no.
