    I was expecting the American people to unite against it, but that is my fault for believing in them.

    You would not be a good liberal if you believed in others.

    A lot of Americans are hateful, ignorant assholes, too. Now they have their king. And he's giving them exactly what they want.

    Here's one definition, as quoted by Slate: Harvard... defines (plagiarism) as "passing off a source's information, ideas, or words as your own by omitting to cite them—an act of lying, cheating, and stealing."

    What's your definition that would define Obama's actions that day as anything other than plagiarism?

    There's no question that the people in the audience that day believed those to be his own words and thoughts.

    You're wrong, and it's embarrassing that you're arguing this.

    So are all speeches plagiarized, then?

    Oops. My bad. I'm so used to watching you hide behind your Twitter feed, that I did not look closely enough.

    Also, no response to anything from Trump would surprise me at this point. I really do think he is laughing at the crap people buy from him.

    That said, very careless mistake on my part.

    No hateful, ignorant people aligning with Democrats in this country. Just a bunch of peace-loving hippies who want what's best, man. You've become Starman Lite. A parody.

    Don't play with me Dick.

    Go ahead, argue that what Obama did that day was not plagiarism. I'd like to hear this from you.

    They didn't nominate one. The Republican Party and every single person who is even considering voting Trump is supporting a Nazi-admiring fascist for President of the United States. They've lost all ability to play the "but they do it too!" game.

    If you make a bootleg copy of some studio's movie, and it gives you permission to sell it, are you committing copyright infringement?
