Things Republicans object to: Immigrants, porn.
Current candidate for the position of first lady:
Reading reports that some of her speech was directly lifted from an earlier speech by Michelle Obama. Not that Trump supporters will have the intelligence to notice. Or care.

Yep. They played snippets of each on the radio this morning. Word for word in parts. I suspect there may be a speechwriter somewhere looking for a new job today.
But 'Donald is intensely loyal to family, friends, employees, country', he wouldn't fire someone just like that.

Not so much using words from someone else's speech, more using someone else's speech, full stop.

So the whole speech was word for word then, i very much doubt that. A couple of phrases does not make a whole speech.
It's done all the time anyway. Far more than most people would realise.

Which was my point in my earlier post, mountains out of molehills by some.

Trump is an utter nutter and I have never had so much interest in an American election in my life, I was glad when Obama got elected because I thought it would put racial tension to bed for good in America(got that wrong) but GHod i hope Trump does not get in, the would I fear be very real danger of another war in the middle east and I think that could even lead to a world war with the Russians taking the arab worlds side.

I wonder how loyal he is to his father in law? Who was a communist and the manager of one of Slovenia's biggest state owned industries.

The hard right have re-defined public life. We now live in a post truth, post facts world. When caught out in a lie, just deny it. Their lackeys in the mainstream media, such as Murdoch smother the lie with the denials and this allows them to avoid any degree of scrutiny. If they cannot get away with a denial, just say it isn't important. This is a real lowering of the bar.

I understand your feelings but it's not a left or right wing fault, it's people with power and influence who set the standards.
It's hilarious at first, but it's really downright terrifying: Republican Platform 2016
They talk a lot about defending all the GHod-given constitutional rights. All men are created equal, as long as they're white and believe in GHod.
The Democratic Party is extreme on abortion. Democrats’ almost limitless support for abortion, and their strident opposition to even the most basic restrictions on abortion, put them dramatically out of step with the American people.
What was that about government interfering in people's lives again?
We pledge to defend the religious beliefs and rights of conscience of all Americans and to safeguard religious institutions against government control.
I'm surprised they didn't put a GHod-given in there as well.
The President and the Democratic party have dismantled Americans’ system of healthcare. They have replaced it with a costly and complicated scheme that limits choices and takes away our freedom.
Our engineers and miners, the men and women whose labor taps the forces of nature, are the best in the world. Together, the people of America’s energy sector provide us with power that is clean, affordable, secure, and abundant.

It is a shame but lets not let it distract us from Trumps inspiring speech on fighting immigrants on the beaches.

It's a pretty blatant piece of plagiarism.
It really shouldn't matter what the potential First Bimbo says, but it is funny and/or distturbing for a variety of reasons. One you have a message about working hard to succeed, like marrying an old billionaire. Two, we have the insistence that she wrote the speech which is complete nonsense. Then we have the fact that Trump is running for the office of US President and his wife is giving the key-note address and is handed a plagiarised speech. It shows a complete lack of professionalism.
For those interested in plagiarism on a grand scale, look up Biden and Kinnock. The current VP ripped off Kinnock's speech about his roots in working class Wales, about ancestors who were coal-miners, etc. Biden even coopted Kinnock's life story, included the coal mining ancestors when there were none. This was from a candidate for US President, not a former glamour model.

He's a tool, but there's certainly something amusing about how angry he makes all the bien-pensants.
Reminds me a bit of Jeremy Clarkson that way.
