President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

You don't see the difference in quoting someone, and stealing their words?

Did you really work in journalism.

(Also, it's a falsehood to say I "generally post tweets". I post tweets as links, or I post them with comment, in an effort to advance a conversation.)

 

No, I spent 35 years fixing cappuccino machines. This is why I feel qualified in talking about plagiarism.

 

Whose words? I can't find the byline.

 

I learned about plagiarism in grade school. So did most people.

While we'd expect an actual journalist to know all the ins and outs, you don't need to have spent 35 years at the Happy Valley Rapist to know that presenting someone else's words, or thoughts, as your own is plagiarism.

That you decided to use the stolen worlds to make an argument on a message board, doesn't change that fact.

 

That’s not even a little bit true.

I can’t even imagine why someone would post it, other than the knee-jerk impulse to argue with everything YF posts.

 

Informal cribbing.

 

LOL

 

Are we really going to argue there’s a difference between “copying existing work without acknowledgement” and “taking one’s work and passing it off as your own”?

 

Just heard on KNX 1070 Newsradio that Donald Trump was attacked by a guy with a pickaxe. Turns out it was the star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It has been completely ruined.

 

Who is to say that Ragu didn't write the Wikipedia piece? We know the guy loves to write.

 

Trump is going to be President forever.
