"Kennedy"?
Consider the following "widespread misconception":
Ich bin ein Berliner
1963 speech by U.S. President John F. Kennedy in West BerlinSummary
"Ich bin ein Berliner" (German pronunciation:[ɪçˈbɪnʔaɪnbɛʁˈliːnɐ]; "I am a Berliner") is a speech by United States President John F. Kennedy given on June 26, 1963, in West Berlin. It is one of the best-known speeches of the Cold War and among the most famous anti-communist speeches.There is a widespread misconception that Kennedy accidentally said that he was a Berliner, a type of German doughnut. This is an urban legend which emerged several decades after the speech, and it is not true that residents of Berlin in 1963 would have mainly understood the word "Berliner" to refer to a jelly doughnut or that the audience laughed at Kennedy's use of this expression – if nothing else because this type of doughnut is called "Pfannkuchen" (literally: Pan cake) in Berlin and the word "Berliner" is only used outside of Berlin.

Does this mean Melania is getting free soon?

I like the severed grizzly bear head in the background. BUT !!
How'd they manage to hunt such a cat without getting dirty?
Where are their guns?
Why no obvious (fatal) injury to the cat, like an entry or exit wound?
In the $sense that $matters, it depends on Melania's prenup. Let's hope she takes him to the cleaners.
Imagine if Melania got so $much from the divorce settlement Donald could no longer afford the "T" on the Trump Tower sign. *
That's too heavy for that son-of-a-Don to hold like that. Where'd the pic come from? Thereby hangs a tail.
* Gary Hart dropped out of the 1988 presidential race, for the same kind of behavior in #1,363.
Is Trump so ignorant he doesn't know this?
Or is Trump so desperate his own assessment of the risk doesn't seem to distinguish it from the rest of Trump's campaign & lifestyle?

Define "free".

I suspect that cat weighs ~120 lbs.#1,364

Trump's sycophants don't care. And Hart's behavior was far less blatant than this.
Besides, Donna Rice was far more attractive
President GWB [R-CT/TX] declared the GOP the party of family values. Apparently that's been unceremoniously phased out.
So was Gary.

And this is the sort of individual that is (supposedly) representing the public
While arguing against a 2023 bill providing Minnesota students with free breakfast and lunch, Drazkowski said he had "yet to meet a person in Minnesota that is hungry", had "yet to meet a person in Minnesota that says they don't have access to enough food to eat", and that "hunger is a relative term".[9] A video of Drazkowski making the comments went viral on Twitter and led to national coverage. The bill's sponsor, State Senator Heather Gustafson, tweeted that "1 in 5 students in Sen. Drazkowski's district qualifies for free and reduced lunch" ~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Drazkowski

Klobachar & Smith are Minnesota's two U.S. senators. So I deduce Drazkowski is from the Minnesota legislature.
Not sure what the other side of the Drazkowski coin is here. Starve the children to balance the State budget?
Not quite ready to give Drazkowski an incomepooh. For now I'll give him an incomplete. Doesn't look good though Steve.

Even if not a metaphysical certitude, an implication of a political candidate substantially relying on lying in political campaign suggests two things:
- the lying candidate's confidence in the validity / viability of his own platform
- If he's unethical enough to swindle his way into office, what sort of performance should we expect if elected?
Reportedly Harris has deviated from the truth. That's not good.
But it's becoming increasingly doubtful Trump knows the truth, independent of whether he has the integrity to tell it.
None of that renders legitimate any inaccuracy disclosed by Harris.
But I'm not aware that the underpinnings of the Harris / Walz campaign is falsehood and misrepresentation.
I've seen no persuasive indication Harris / Walz have formulated plans to turn the U.S. Department of Justice into retribution machine,
or that they intend to overthrow the United States Constitution.

Something wrong with spelling it correctly?
po·ta·toe  (pə-tātō)n. pl. po·ta·toes 1. a. A perennial plant (Solanum tuberosum) in the nightshade family that was first cultivated in South America and is widely grown for its starchy edible tubers. b. A tuber of this plant. [Spanish patata, alteration (probably influenced by Quechua papa, white potato) of Taíno batata, sweet potato.] |

Trump / Vance have heroically informed the U.S. electorate of the dietary deviants of Springfield Ohio, eating dogs.
A Chow?! What are the odds !!
