a perfect example of how just one word can make a huge difference in foreign affairs
Gotta prop up the Affirmative Action Princess.
Got to.
Hey, if senile Sleepy Joe's handlers made YOU the Vice President of the United States for no apparent reason, you'd be laughing your aarse off 24/7/365, too, just like the Laughing Hyena Headboard! So cut Kamala a little slack, ok?

The scene is in my garage. My kids want to play White House. My 10 year old Joe wants to be POTUS, and his younger 6 year old sister Kamala wants to be the VPOTUS. So, Kamala takes the toy microphone and says, reading from a piece of paper written in crayon,
“Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine so, basically, that’s wrong.”
Does anyone see any difference between these two VPOTUS?
the kamala harris trainwreck, as broadcast, comes under “official records”, and are subject to the same law that pelosi broke in ripping up 45’s speech.
But Neil did actually say “a” man. His words were garbled by the radio transmission from the moon (not some hidden studio in Burbank).
I've heard that argument for literally 50 years, that he really did say the "a" but a too-aggressive VOX (Voice Operated Transmit) circuit cut off the "a."
But unfortunately there are recordings, and there isn't enough space between "for" and "Man" to put in an "a."
And you can hear Neil pause after saying "man," as if contemplating that he screwed up his carefully rehearsed line and debating whether he should correct himself, then apparently decides to "eff" it and finishes the sentence very quickly "giantleapforMankind."
Probably followed by a muttered "s#!t" under his breath.
Video of the infamous quote, cued up at the phrase: https://youtu.be/J6jplPkbe8g?t=15
And here is an article from the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum:

On July 16, 2019, we put Neil Armstrong's spacesuit back on display after 13 years. It is displayed in a special case that will help us preserve it while on display. The conditions inside the sealed glass case replicate the Museum’s ideal storage conditions as closely as possible, with the light will be at a low level to avoid the cumulative damage that prolonged light exposure can have on textiles, and a climate system will maintain the cool, dry, environment that is essential to preserving our spacesuit collection. The case also features Neil Armstrong's famous quote: the words he spoke when he became the first person to set foot on the Moon: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."Since unveiling the exhibiton and sharing photos online, we have gotten a number of questions about the quote in the case, specifically about whether an "a" belongs in front of the word "man." We talked to spacesuit curator Cathleen Lewis about why the quote is presented the way it is:
"After decades of audio analysis and the conclusion of historian James R. Hansen, the museum accepts that Armstrong said “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,"" Lewis explained. " No matter what his intention had been, he omitted the “a” between for and man. Since there was no written script, we only had the option to quote the words as spoken."
There you have it straight from the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum.
That requires some major major alteration!
