I have seen and heard about enough out of all you. You all need to learn that other people have a right to use words too. You don't own them.

People and entities can and DO own word combinations, phrases, articles, literature, songs, poems, etc.


You can not take the words of Shakespeare and claim that they are your own. Its called plagiarism. Why do you think that COPYRIGHT laws exist?

Default Obama plagiarized Deval Patrick.

And Joe Biden plagiarized Neil Kinnock; it's the reason he wasn't elected in 1988.

Trump isn't tweeting or firing anyone. Very possibly this a sign that the Trump kids and/or Melania wrote the speech themselves. Donald would not throw the kids under the bus. Besides, they are all scheduled to give speeches at the convention. Who would he get at this late date to replace any of them? Fonzie?

These Trump cult members are nuts. Listened to interview of RNC delegate today and she was in complete and total denial that any part of the chick's speech belonged to another person.

Big time pants on fire. X1000 Pinocchios......

My first shock as a librarian is that five people or more can write a book with the same title. I have seen no evidence any paragraph was copied. The only thing I have heard is that she used the same values when describing what she was taught. Thousands of other people were taught the same values. Why don't you know this? Weren't you taught the same values. I was.

Yeah, I actually did that. It seems Michelle Obama was the first person to speak those words.

From a few pages back:

Quote:
I already did a Google check and could not find anyone else other than Michelle stringing those particular words together in that particular way, until Mel came along, that is.

So, now you know; Michelle Obama said them first.

Mr Trump you said Sen McCain is not a hero, he got captured.


Well I didn't say say that..plays recording ...well I didn't say that.


Well then who the hell said that? your twin brother??


Still thinks he is right.

No and that is a huge problem. A leader that cannot accept mistakes and shortcomings cannot improve them and steer the country in the right direction. Nicolas Maduro has the same ego, he will never accept he and his predecessor have made big mistakes and instead blames the US or someone else.
