Meh.
My 2-year old daughter used to yell "Feeedom!" all the time.

Not because we were taking her along on marches; there were none to take her to. She got it from listening to Richie Havens' singing at Woodstock. I owned the record, and his song, which only had that one word, was the one she loved the most.

She would dance and sing along with Richie. He would yell "Freedom!", and so would she, back at him.

Like all little kids, hearing it once was never enough. I would have to play it for her many times or not at all. Since I thought it was cute, I would always play it for as long as she wanted.

Not at all.. Just saying that a First Lady is small fish. A figure head at best. Now a sitting US senator? A VP elect? They are big fish. I am pointing out the hypocrisy of the Trump haters. Trump isn't my guy never was never will be, but those who hate him blatantly ignore the sins of the democrats. That is my point. Calling out Melania and using that as a defense or an excuse to give a free pass to Harris? Now that is hypocrisy at its best. Melania as I said is nothing but a figure head.

I love tagging hypocrites and you absolutely fit the bill with your but Melania did it too argument.

Is it "misogynistic" when other women refer to Harris as a promiscuous ho, or is there another term for it?

Why the need for such a repulsive post?

How is she not qualified?

Well, she must have plagiarized it from Alex Haley. I mean, only one child in the entire English-speaking world could ever have trouble pronouncing the "r" sound, right? Only one child in the entire English-speaking world could want freedom, right?

Guess she learned from the master, Joe Biden.
She was probably told the story by Corn Pop.

I have now this “feedom” quote attributed to MLKJr and Mr Haley, as the originator. Either is possible. Harris’s plagiarization of this story is her original lifting of someone else’s heart string moment, though. She is quite adept at playing this sort of victimization ploy.

The anecdote is King's.

It was from a 1965 Playboy interview conducted and written by Haley.
