Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

Bullshit.

Attribution is required, and you know it.

Why are you arguing something so silly?

And, while we're at it, the "permission" argument, in this case, is bullshit too.

We learned that his political ally gave him "permission" only after he was caught, and called on it, by the Clinton campaign.

What was Patrick going to do in this case? Call him on it?

It's clear cut plagiarism, because the people in the room believed those to be his words

 

You don't know what plagiarism is, then.

 

A delegate to the Republican convention was surrounded by other delegates at the convention and threatened with death.


But by all means let's quibble over the definition of plagiarism.

 

Is the oven reenactment scene tonight, or Wednesday night?

 

There is no need, but it is a courtesy. Courtesy is almost never required, but it's better to show it than not. It just is.

If you borrow your neighbor's Porsche (with his permission), and one of your friends sees you tooling around in it and says, "Hey, nice car!", you don't just say "Thanks."

 

The GOP, or what's left of it, will put in a superdelegate system in 2020 to help prevent this sort of thing from happening again. Plus there won't be as many winner-take-all primaries.

 

A sitting elected official told a cable news network that whites have contributed more to this world than anyone else.
Scott Baio tweeted out a photo calling Hillary a c^nt and not only spoke at the convention but was unapologetic about his sexist photo after his speech.
Yesterday had an aura of "we hate all immigrants" permeating just under the surface of all the speeches.
There were speakers who had potentially powerful testimony about one of two of the biggest topics against Hillary and they either came off as drunk/crazy/pathetic or were outright cutoff by the guy who asked them to speak.
The candidate's wife couldn't answer the simple question of "why is Donald a good man in your eyes? And why do you love him like you do?" without having to copy off someone else's notes.
Rudy Giuliani sounded like a raving lunatic.

But right now there is a fight over who plagiarized worse.

 

Anyone who didn't know this kind of shit would happen hasn't been paying attention.

His entire campaign, and the entire basis for his support, is to make being a hateful asshole OK again.

I mean, the guy talked about his dick during a nationally televised presidential debate. And a moderator's menstrual cycle. And how another candidate is fugly. He's been hurling first-grade, "anyone who doesn't agree with me is a poopyhead" insults at everyone for the better part of a year. Of course he'd have white supremacists and misogynists and violent whackjobs at his convention.

What else were you expecting?

 

Been beating this dead horse since November. The fractures are starting to get magnified. This may be the campaign that marks the end of the GOP as we know it in all its dysfunctional glory.

 

And he still might win.

 

Could be then that the plagiarism was the best thing to happen for Trump yesterday, in hindsight.
