They plagiarized a speech first given by Michelle Obama.
They got caught FAST.
They lied.
They sandbagged.
They lied.
They doubled down.
They lied.
They TRIPLE downed.
They lied
They put a bunch of surrogates out there, all saying the exact same scripted excuse/deflections.
They lied,
Rinse
Repeat
And of COURSE the entire country claimed on board the Trumptrain because they are the BEST . . . . liars.
This ENTIRE post is satire and sarcasm (in case it wasn't obvious to the more sensitive amongst the readers).

But when Pence joined the ticket and it was revealed that he voted the same way Hillary did on the Iraq War (oh, for HIM, it's okay). So that kind of pees on the whole "she voted for the war, damn her!" thing - although they won't walk that back.
And all the "she lied" slinging going on about Hillary - rendered kinda flabby now that Melania can be painted as a plagiarist.
They'll remain in denial, of course. But I appreciate how they're so thoughtful providing us with material with which to hit back!

With Melania (and I lay ALL of it at Yammie's feet) there is the plagiarized speech and the lie about her having a degree in architecture (or whatever it was) from Slovenia, when, in fact, she went to school for just one year then moved to Milan to be a full time model.
There is also the matter of using the Queen song without permission. In fact, it appears that not only was it without permission, it seems permission was specifically denied months ago.
And all this is just today.

(24,780 posts)The various attempts by surrogates to lie about it with a "nothing to see here, move along attitude" are becoming stories in and of themselves with a tone of "can you believe he/she said this?"

(67,832 posts)Said moron is trying to say the phrases in question have been used by many people other than Michelle Obama and therefor cannot be plagiarism.
They think if the talk fast and never breathe, they can get away with their lies.

Remember Contradicta trying to minimize her dereliction of duty to the 9/11 Commission about doing NOTHING about the warning in the Presidential Daily Brief? "It was SIXTEEN WORDS!!!"
