    Of course there is...and with that "logic" you've used here, about every subject that exists can garnish the same response. So, given those always have been, unchanged since the beginning of time parameters, " what's your point'?
    I'll wait until next week, when I know it will be done again from the other side, and for your resulting post about it.

    Equally insane are the two choices we have for president.

    A criminal or a serial blowhard............take your pick.

    A new physical problem now exists and has become prevelant amongst those ages 18 and above:
    Electile dysfunction...the inability to become aroused or excited about the nominees for president.

    With due respect to Irish he posted it for a reason and that was to put to disparage Hillary. I responded in kind that's called give and take but yeah obviously there are 2 sides to every story.

    Weak sauce, imo.
    If it wasn't the video, and that is what the WH/ Hillary said, then why does a mother supposedly lie about what Hillary told her? For what reason? Doesn't bring her son back- so why? What is the reason?
    "Can't put the truth o - meter on Smith"? That is what your source reports...incredibly, about the mother.
    I did some of my own checking on your source, politifact, and it's a much maligned, totally biased source of lefty spew that is rumored to be funded by Soros through the Tampa Bay Times. A looong history of it...and as recently as the e mail scandal has changed what it reports daily more than once. Lies.
    If your going to use a source, this cesspool is hardly the last word in truthful expose.

    How can you own a speech that was given by someone else? Say what you like about Obama, that's fair game. But to pretend that speech wasn't plagiarized by the writers is silly. Shit was almost word for word for several paragraphs. No ill doing on wifeys part, but its certainly a big time embarrassment for the campaign when you consider where the source material came from.

    Can't imagine why that was done...not an intelligent thing to do. They must have known it would be exposed immediately...I think probably she and maybe Trump himself, didn't have a clue. Should be fired like on Trump's stupid TV show he had. Wtf were they thinking?
    However, you can say someone else's words and "own" them by saying them extremely well...she did that. I think that's where Diablo was coming from...
    I don't think anyone thought she spoke it extemporaneously, did they?

    There are additional reports of tweets attributed to Mrs Trump that were direct, word for word, quotes from anothe sources.

    Not to sound sexist, but of course it's not Mrs Trump's fault. These were all written by handlers and speechwriters, who were frankly lazy ass lollygaggers. There is no excuse for that to happen on a national stage at the Rep Convention for heavens sakes.

    In addition, the knee jerk reaction defending the speech from the talking heads (not the group) was even more pathetic....from My Little Pony comments to not knowing how plagiarism works was pretty lame.

    Right and i get that. But saying someone else's words "really well" in this specific scenario, well there's nothing positive to be drawn from it imo. Trump is running as the anti obama but his wife has Michelle obamas words coming out of her mouth on the biggest GOP stage to this point. She actually said she wrote the speech almost all by herself a day or two before she gave it. Obviously not the case.

    Didn't know she wrote the speech...very ill advised.
    Cancels out the oratory I guess. I agree that since that is the deal, I'm at a loss.
    Wth is up with that smokin' hot Slovenian piece of ass ?

    I dont think its that big a deal.
    Isnt that standard talk now what she said?
    Probably an app that prints out what to say about the future and kids and all that.
    It was a tiny part of her speech and was just fluff.
    I bet she wrote it herself. Probably from her own mind.
    A mind which had recorded those words from when she heard someone else say them.
    Someone being Mrs Obama.
    And then Melania regurgitated Michelles words in her own thought bubble.
    Mistaking a memory for an original thought on an unoriginal topic.
    Plagiarism involves theft and stealth. Nothing here for her to steal, no profit to be made, nothing to cheat at.

    Well a musician can record someone else's music and own it
    I thought she was really good and a representation of what I would want for a first lady
    There are only so many words in the english language especially when you are choosing to inspire people
    Tbh I haven't even seen the comparisons of what was supposedly lifted but it probably doesn't matter as the left got their sound bite
    I heard it was stuff like "my word is my bond" yeah never heard anyone else say that
    I have seen a hundred posts already of politicians borrowing things said by others, happens all the time
    If you ask me this is a blatant attempt to get under trumps skin by people who are experts
    And even if you think its a big deal its already been washed out by the news cycle
