@alexrobinson.bsky.socialOn this day in 1975, #SaraMoore tries to shoot President #GeraldFord. This was just a few weeks after Ford survived an assassination attempt by #SqueakyFromme

@catlover1943.bsky.socialDear #DJT, You are NO #JFK. You are NO #DwightEisenhower. You are no #GeraldFord. You are NO #GeorgeHWBush.
Give it up and realize you are closer to #RichardNixon than any other recent #POTUS. At least he had the decency to #Resign when caught doing un-presidential things.
@johnautry.bsky.socialSeptember 16, 1974 - President Gerald Ford announced a conditional amnesty program for Vietnam War deserters and draft-evaders, provided they swear allegiance to the country and agree to work two years in the branch of the military they had abandoned.

@paulinepark.bsky.social#OnThisDay in 1974, #GeraldFord pardoned #RichardNixon, possibly costing Ford re-election; it was the biggest mistake of Ford's presidency; allowing Nixon to be prosecuted would have set an important precedent for the prosecution of #DonaldTrump...

@thedailyhistorian.bsky.socialFromme eventually spent 34 years in prison before being released on parole in 2009. The Sacramento attack remains one of the more unusual presidential assassination attempts in American history.
