They did it again: Donald Trump Jr. plagiarizes The American Conservative

[Seriously?]

Speeches draw upon other speeches for inspiration? Stop the presses!

wow

More laughable crap from liberals, looking for any little thing to discredit what was a fantastic, hit it out of the ballpark speech by Donald J. Trump, Jr.

I guarantee you if you went through every speech tonight something would be "plagiarized" from somewhere else.  And *gasp* when you watch the coronation of Hillary! next week, the same will be true.

This is politics, not an English class. sh**t gets recycled all the time.

Keep digging. This is a f*** up.

No, it's f***ing laughable is what it is. I bet you just about every speech tonight has elements from somewhere else. And next week, at the sh**t show known as the Democrat National Convention, the same thing will happen.

It's politics. sh**t gets recycled all the time.

This "plagiarism" meme is tripe and tired already.

Rules only apply to Hillary Clinton! Donald Trump and his family deserve to be above the law!

Above the law? Do you think political rhetoric is copyrighted? What "law" is broken exactly?

Lol good luck doing something like this and telling that to a college professor.

Give me a f***ing break. This is politics not a college paper. Your analogy fails.

If you don't think rhetoric in politics gets recycled, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

You red and "blue" avatars as as insufferable as you are in the primary thread.

[Seriously?]

And guess who partially wrote Donald Trump Jr.'s speech:

The same guy who wrote the original article.  You can't plagiarize yourself, can you?

Keep the meme up now.

The leaps and bounds some will go to apologize for the blatantly obvious. Wow.

I guess plagiarism isn't so bad.

Ask Joe Biden and Barack Obama about their plagiarism. But of course, as always, it's not a big deal to your insufferable, obnoxious red avatars if it happens to a Democrat.

[Seriously?]

Apparently Buckley, who wrote the article, also co-wrote the speech.

I'm seeing this now too.

Yeah, this isn't really that bad at all

Its self plagiarism which is still a major academic thing

I'm looking for the classroom that the RNC is being held in.

[Seriously?]

Apparently Buckley, who wrote the article, also co-wrote the speech.

But context.  I mean not 24 hrs after your mail order bride step mom plagiarized.  The optics.

"Mail order bride step mom," keeping it classy, I see. If only that narrative were true. Melania Trump was living in the US and successful in her own right before she met Donald Trump.

Joe Biden quit his 1988 Presidential campaign less than a week after this story broke.

And he kept his Senate seat and is now Vice President.

I know what self plagiarism is but it's really a stupid thing. You are using your own words with your own permission.

It really isnt, if you simply copied your paper from a semester ago, or tacked an extra page on to it and slapped a new name on it, what would be the point?

So did Hillary Clinton plagiarize herself by giving the same speech to a Morgan Stanley that she just got paid to give to Goldman Sachs?

Every political stump speech ever given is "plagiarism" under this definition.

Seriously? has acquired the title <Ljube Listed>

And I am supposed to care about ridicule from leftists? I take that as a badge of honor.

Of course I do. What I don't take seriously is half the tripe out of the mouths of the left on here. Your Alinsky-like tactics will not work on me.

Any college educated person whom isnt an idiot or academic thief should and many do care

No. They really shouldn't. It's political rhetoric at the end of the day. It gets recycled all the time.

You are not in a college English class.

Ah, grand ole party entertainment

On a serious note, how is this Alinsky at all?

An attack and ridicule because of my beliefs, which obviously differ from 90% of the red, "independent" and faux "blue" avatars on this board.

[Seriously?]

I didn't want to reuse the word 'rule.'  The obvious rule here being the expectation of attributing who you're quoting.

The Rapist Trump campaign also used Queen's "We are the Champions" yesterday even though the surviving members have told them to stop and may even have asked for a cease and desist order.

Clearly these speakers are lying when they say that Rapist Trump 'plays by the rules.'

The RNC legally licensed use of "We Are the Champions" at the convention.  Queen has no legal right to object.

They can object if they want to.  Happens all the time.

Queen can yell to the rooftops that they object to Trump or the RNC using the song, but there is no way that they can receive a cease or desist order or legally sue for the RNC playing it.  The RNC has legally paid them to use it in the arena.

According to the comments section it's disputed exactly what the Rapist Trump campaign paid for.  Did they also pay for the song to be used at his rallies?

Of course they did. Professional campaigns buy the rights to songs all the time. Most of the time, when a (usually) left-leaning band objects and sends a "cease and desist" letter, the campaigns have perfect legal authority to continue to play the songs. However, they stop using the song for optics/political reasons.

I grade politicians on their educational skill partially,  I know many on both sides that do as well.

There is a reason a good chunk of people wouldnt vote for someone like Walker for example due his lack of education.

Also it shows completely poor optics and planning considering the other day.

Funny, that's the last thing I consider when I grade a politician. In fact, I am turned off by Harvard/Yale cabal that has been running this country since Reagan.

[Seriously?]

Eh I don't care about self plagiarism as much, not as big of a deal as what was undeniably plagiarism from Monday night. It is fun seeing the knots that people like Seriously tie themselves into trying to defend such actions though. Remember, if you don't have a response, just fall back on complaining about avatar colors.

Side note can we please not say things like "Rapist Trump"?

Knots? It's called realism. If you comb through most speeches, you will see appropriation. There is a lot of recycling in politics.

Can you stop knee jerk screaming "MEDIA!!!!" everytime Donnie f#$ks up again, you bootlicking asskisser?

Excuse me?

1) Imputing that Donald Trump Sr. somehow "f#$ks up again" based on the words of others not named Donald Trump, Sr. is laughable.
2) I challenge you to show me where I screamed media. This meme is coming from you red and faux "blue" avatars on here.
