So if Buckley himself had given the speech it wouldn't be plagiarism? I'm confused.

Chris Christie is literally Hitler.

Ben Carson wants everybody to know that democrats worship Lucifer.

Donald Trump Jr. gave a good speech that was also plagiarized like the speech Melania gave yesterday.

Some lady is both an actress AND a farmer, and that's important.

It was surreal.

What did Christie do exactly? This I need to hear.

Buckley probably was the speechwriter, but they included that part last minute so the media would jump all over it and the Trump campaign would get to go SEE THE MEDIA BLOWS EVERYTHING OUT OF PROPORTION


He was, but isn't still pretty bad form to reuse the same tropes and phrases in someone else's speech?

And you, you ridiculous people, you expect me to help you.

I was only half listening to Don Jr., and that line caught my ear as a stupid and clunky mixed metaphor. Why be proud of that particular turn of phrase?

I mean, it's still plagiarism, full stop. Plagiarism does not have a "the original author said it was ok" exception.

But you're assuming the Trump campaign would have the sense to realize the above course of action would be stupid.

Mmm... Kangaroo court. Thankfully, trial by media isn't a legitimate way of convicting someone in this country.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

Why would anyone hire Buckley after this. That kind of shoddy craftsmanship and inattention to detail should scare the poo poo out of any potential customers.

In a sane world the university would consider this assisting plagiary and sanction him.

I have the mispleasure of living in Ryan's district. Surprisingly enough, even the most batshit, tea party trump supporter I have as a regular at where I work tips.

There's a few other people who like to stiff tips, but that's because they're douchewaffles who like to "not request things when I take their order and then request them as means to justify not tipping."

I wish poor old Bill had survived just a few more years, he probably would have disavowed those neocon NRO cucks and joined up with TRUMP! It's too bad he died probably thinking that those miserable warmongering shitheads were the future of the party.
