I will also note that no one is ever arrested for self-plagiarism...

Has anyone ever been arrested for "plagiarism" plagiarism?  I know America is a police state but that is taking things a bit far isn't it?

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.
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.

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.

He got punished initially survived politically and came back.  I suggest punishing the Rapist Trump campaign right now.  He can run again for President 20 years later like Biden did.

This isn't a big deal, but Trump Jr. should have been more sensitive to the optics of this.

I don't think anyone should quit anything over the plagiarism that has happened here.  It's just sh*t we talk about and let the voters decide.  No one should lose their job over plagiarism in a speech... except a speech writer in a high stakes election.  I mean if you are in a stem winder and get excited and say some sh*t some other guy said that would be ridiculous if you lost your job.

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.

Yeah but the average layperson wouldn't consider this plagiarism.  Terrible optics?  Yes.  Plagiarism?  Probably not.

Seriously,
Have you ever thought that maybe you and the other nutty trump supporters are the "faux blue avatars" ?
You got it all mixed-up.
