You WERE a librarian????

Plagiarism is not about words or phrases. It's about the ideas those words and phrases convey.

READ.

READ.

READ.

READ the paragraph from Mrs Trump's speech, and the paragraph from First Lady Obama's speech.

They are almost verbatim. They are a clear example of plagiarism.

Anyone who does not see the plagiarism is blinded by their own partisanship.

If you are looking for liars, you best stick with the Clinton's. They are in a league of their own.

I can't believe that after the first night of the convention the 'hot topic' continues to be the speech of Melania Trump.


I feel sorry for her. She was given a speech (more than likely) to read, and she apparently did quite well, even with her rather thick accent. She did not 'profit' from the speech, but was merely trying, as do all spouses of nominees, to help her husband out. I am not a Trump fan, but this blasting of her goes beyond the pale.


If she speaks again, I would advise her to give it in her native Slavic language. Let people figure out what she is saying.


Indeed, given the rather uncertainty about what Bill Clinton may say (depending on his mental status), I would also advise him to give his speech in another language. Navajo would be good.

86 pages of blather. Sometimes its hard to be a woman... especially an R woman. The left seems extremely vile and juvenile when it comes to republican women and minorities

Weren't you taught the same values. I was.
I was taught not to lie or steal; you?

Oh, that's insightful. You might want to start a different speculation thread. This about something that actually happened. If you read the thread title, it really helps you stay on point.

Please tell me you were not a librarian.
The **********s are twisting logic and their own ethics to protect Don.
Don is right he could shoot someone in the middle of the street in the middle of the day and the Trumpanzess would not care.

Uh, no.

Trump far outweighs Clinton in terms of spoken words being false.

Hillary Clinton's file | PolitiFact

I guess you've not read all the comments comparing 'hot' Melania to Michelle?

I doubt that he's mum on this for that reason, more than likely his handlers have warned him it's best to keep distractions to a minimum during the convention. To get pulled into a publicity vortex at this point would drown out the purpose of the convention, which is already being held together with duct tape and bubble gum.
