I blame Autocorrect. That is my story and I’m sticking to it. It was a perfect spelling. People are saying it was the best spelling they’ve ever seen. Nobody’s seen a better spelling. ---

I saw a grown man come up to Gatopescado with tears in his eyes. A big strong man. “Sir” he said, “that was the best spelling anyone has ever seen. It was the best spelling in history!” ---

C’mon, it’s simple. He was talking with his staff and couldn’t remember her last name, so one of his toadies or lickspittles said, “That’s OK, Mr. President, nobody remembers her last name! I don’t remember it, and neither does anyone else here!” and Trump bought it. ---

Lovely, yes, but it still trades at over 26$/share. Which is a low level, but when this [board was asked for a timeline](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-truth-social-share-price-contest/1000371) for the stock’s decline the task was described thus: > [To enter, you must predict when any share price of Truth Social will fall **below $15** , and **below $10** and **below $5**. Well, so far, it has not, and almost all contestanst participating predicted that it would have hit those thresholds long ago. So, for the record, that is a game that very few of us still have a chance of winning. Sorry for the un-schadenfreudige dosis of realism, but the scam goes on. It always does with Individual One. ---

> [@Gatopescado](#): > > He then said Harris should be “disqualified” from the 2024 election “because the creation of a fake image is ELECTION INTERFERENCE. Anyone who does that will cheat at ANYTHING!” Now there’s a fake _ **video** _ of a huge crowd at the airport for Harris in Detroit. Man, AI is getting really good! If trump hadn’t told me it was fake, I’d swear the video is the real deal.

Maggots saying Harris is “Policy-Thin”. The other guy hasn’t had a coherent policy in … _ever._ He just spouts jibberty-style nonsense and stoopid insults. If her policy was stomping kittens, she’s still a better choice than cheato. ---
