I know you have a hard time coming up with original thoughts but presenting someone else's as your own is plagiarizing, no matter if you are doing it for profit. But you try to deflect.
As the Dawgtalkers self appointed legal expert I suggest you sue me so someone who actually knows the law can explain what constitutes plagiarism is. I never claimed it was my work or quote to begin with. Maybe you should start there.
So now you go back to lies.
Not sure if I prefer you lying or plagiarizing, ironically both show how dishonest you are.
BTW, you posted it without attributing it, and without any sign that you didn't create it. But hey, you weren't trying to steal from other people and represent it as you being clever.

Sadly you can't see how much lying you do on a daily basis. You're doing it now. You have acted like some legal expert all along. I'm sorry you really aren't what you try to pretend you are. To plagiarize something I have to claim someone elses work as your own. None of your BS is difficult to wade through. And can you tell me what evidence you have that the person who created that meme was the originator of those words? Let me give you a clue..... You can't.
Another swing and a miss. What goes up must come down is an old song lyric. Did the person who wrote that lyric invent that saying? Did he cite someone else for creating it? If no to either question did he plagiarize the lyrics?
You are hilarious.

JD Vance breaks polling records in the worst way Alice Tecotzky and John L. Dorman Jul 24, 2024, 12:22 PM EDT
Vice-presidential nominees typically receive a ratings bump after their party's convention, but Sen. JD Vance is bucking the tradition.
On the heels of last week's Republican National Convention, the Ohio senator is the least-liked vice-presidential candidate since 1980, CNN found in a polling analysis. It noted the data applied to nonincumbents.
Since 2000, vice-presidential nominees typically have had a net-positive rating immediately following the convention, at plus 19 points. Vance, however, is polling at minus 6 points just one week after accepting the vice-presidential nomination and officially embarking on the campaign trail, the network found.
The freshman lawmaker's lower-than-normal approval ratings are not an anomaly, as Vance has long polled behind other Republicans.
Vance heavily underperformed in his 2022 Ohio Senate race, at least compared with how other Republicans performed in the state that year. Vance defeated his opponent, then-Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan, by only 6 percentage points. In comparison, Republican Gov. Mike DeWine crushed his Democratic opponent, former Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley, by 25 percentage points in that same cycle.
"The JD Vance pick makes no sense from a statistical polling perspective," Harry Enten, a CNN political-data reporter, said.
JD Vance leans head first into Trump populism in his first major moment Vice President Kamala Harris' team sent out a press release gloating about the numbers.
"We'd like to be the first to congratulate JD Vance on making history as the least popular VP pick, well…ever," it said.
The Atlantic's Tim Alberta tweeted Monday that ever since President Joe Biden ended his reelection campaign and endorsed Harris to become the Democratic presidential nominee, some members of Trumpworld have questioned whether Vance remains a wise running mate. President Donald Trump faltered with suburban voters in 2020, and Vance's selection was widely seen as an appeal to base voters instead of one geared toward attracting more swing voters.
Trump's campaign spent months perfecting its attacks against Biden and has now had to shift its messaging, as Harris poses a different electoral threat from her predecessor. While Biden was struggling to rally young voters and minority voters around his reelection campaign, Harris is more popular with those groups and presents a major upside for Democrats, as they need a high Gen Z and millennial turnout to remain competitive in the key battleground states.
There's also evidence that Republicans will closely monitor polling over the next two weeks beyond Vance's low likability ratings, as a Trump pollster said Harris could get a numbers bump following her expected ascent to the top of the Democratic ticket.

Question, did he address this in his book. I haven't read it so I'm asking.
You mean JD Mandel?
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
A Never/Trumper becomes VP candidate and the "thinkers" in RP think Trump's poling would go UP.....fools. How many important people from Trump's first administration are "onboard" for second term.....ZERO....Trump collects ONLY yes men/women---- he knows all. And the MAGA right love him---- sheep, all of them sheep. No original ideas, just protect the border-" can't happen"- America first- we've had a WORLD economy for decades. No common sense.

SHADY Vance humps his sofa… you can’t make this crap up. Never did I ever think I’d have to see a VP candidate deny that he boinked his couch. I’ve officially seen it all folks.
JD Vance is saying that perhaps those that don't have children shouldn't be able to fully partake of the American Experience..
Remember this:
Article one, section two of the Constitution of the United States declared that any person who was not free would be counted as three-fifths of a free individual for the purposes of determining congressional representation. The "Three-Fifths Clause" thus increased the political power of slave holding states.
Is this kinda the same thing?
I wonder if he knows that there are probably as many republicans out there that don't have children?
He's a Moron! I mean, even if he actually means this... And I'm sure he does, he's an idiot for making it a campaign issue. He'll lose every damn time.
I'm actually pretty surprised it didn't come up during his Senate Run.

I don't know much about him at all - and the snippets we'll see between now and Nov won't really give me much more to go on I expect.
I will say my *perception* of him - like Trump - is he doesn't actually stand for anything. It would appear to me that he seems like the sort of individual who will say whatever he thinks voters might want to hear. In the case of him being Trump running mate - even though he lambasted Trump a short while ago I am sure he will double down and buy into all that is Trump Rhetoric.... more interested in making himself richer than doing what's best for the country. I might be wrong.
The more things change the more they stay the same.
Here some things he stands for that you can be sure impressed trump........
JD Vance says he's wouldn't have certified 2020 race until states submitted pro-Trump electors
The senator also suggested Trump should ignore "illegitimate" court rulings.
Sen. JD Vance on Sunday defended Donald Trump as the former president faces a litany of legal issues amid his comeback campaign for the White House.
In a contentious interview with ABC News "This Week" anchor George Stephanopoulos, Vance -- a onetime Trump critic -- also doubled down on his views of the 2020 election, saying the results shouldn't have been immediately certified, and he went on to suggest Trump should ignore "illegitimate" U.S. Supreme Court rulings.
Vance, an Ohio Republican who has been floated in the media as a potential running mate for Trump, was asked by Stephanopoulos if he would have certified the 2020 election results as vice president, as required by the Constitution and as then-Vice President Mike Pence did.
Vance called it a "ridiculous question" and claimed Stephanopoulos was "obsessed with talking about this" but went on to say he would have liked to see the certification of the 2020 election handled differently.
"Do I think there were problems in 2020? Yes, I do," he said citing a list of issues, including social media restrictions on some content about Hunter Biden and changes in state election laws to accommodate for health concerns during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"If I had been vice president, I would have told the states, like Pennsylvania, Georgia and so many others, that we needed to have multiple slates of electors and I think the U.S. Congress should have fought over it from there," he continued. "That is the legitimate way to deal with an election that a lot of folks, including me, think had a lot of problems in 2020. I think that's what we should have done."
The Constitution makes no such provisions for this. There has been no confirmed evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 race, and the results were affirmed by local officials across the country, including many Republicans.
Stephanopoulos also asked Vance about a September 2021 podcast interview where he said that if Trump is reelected in 2024, he would advise the former president to "fire every single mid-level bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state, replace them with our people" -- and, if and when the courts tried to stop him, "stand before the country like Andrew Jackson did, and say, 'The chief justice has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it.'"
"Fire everyone in the government, then defy the Supreme Court? You think it's OK for the president to defy the Supreme Court?" Stephanopoulos asked.
Vance asserted that he "did not say fire everyone in government," but Stephanopoulos pushed back, repeating that Vance said in the podcast Trump should replace "every civil servant in the administrative state."
Vance, however, continued, arguing, "We have a major problem here with administrators and bureaucrats in the government who don't respond to the elected branches. ... If those people aren't following the rules, then of course you've got to fire them, and of course, the president has to be able to run the government as he thinks he should. That's the way the Constitution works."
"The Constitution also says the president must abide by legitimate Supreme Court rulings, doesn't it?" Stephanopoulos pressed.
"The Constitution says that the Supreme Court can make rulings ... but if the Supreme Court said the president of the United States can't fire a general, that would be an illegitimate ruling," Vance said.
Vance separately cast the civil and criminal cases against Trump as biased, including a jury in New York finding the former president liable for sexual assault and another New York jury awarding $83 million in defamation damages to E. Jean Carroll, who says she was assaulted by Trump -- which has been spotlighted in anti-Trump advertising.
Trump denies wrongdoing and has vowed to appeal.
"I think it's actually very unfair to the victims of sexual assault to say that somehow their lives are being worse by electing Donald Trump for president when what he's trying to do, I think, is restore prosperity," Vance told Stephanopoulos when asked to respond to the argument that backing Trump meant tacitly supporting abusers.
"If you actually look at so many of the court cases against Donald Trump, George, this is not about prosecuting Trump for something that he did. It's about throwing him off the ballot because Democrats feel that they can't beat him at the ballot box. And so, they're trying to defeat him in court," Vance argued, though Republicans and non-Democrats have brought some of the complaints against Trump.
"I think most Americans recognize that this is not what we want to fight the 2024 election on. Let's fight it over issues," the senator added.
He sought to dismiss the findings of the New York juries, saying there are in "extremely left-wing jurisdictions" and contending that politics played a role in some of the accusations being brought.
"So juries in New York City are not legitimate when they find someone liable for ... defamation and assault?" Stephanopoulos asked.
"Well, when the cases are funded by left-wing donors and when the case has absolute left-wing bias all over it, George, absolutely I think that we should call into question that particular conclusion," Vance replied.

He was talking about voter i.d. laws being "racist". He said that's just weird to think those laws are racist.
He then went on to say "I had a diet mountain dew yesterday, and another one today. I'm sure they'll call that racist too."
But he's a catman not a catwoman. But then again so is Buttigieg. Maybe in reality Vance is woke and can't see gender the way some people say they can't see color?

Yep! Republicans stand for law and order/ except when court and jury finds against "them"- then its illegit.
Vance- Vance ripping “childless cat ladies” drew rebukes from Democrats, as did past remarks he made about supporting a “federal response” to end abortion.....Question- does the current Republican VP candidate think women don't hold grudges and don't care about their bodies......dang, he "DUMB".

I don’t think she can top Halle Berry in that role (looks not acting).
Cool story about Berry...
Berry starred as the title role in the film Catwoman,[41] for which she received US$12.5 million.[43] and is widely regarded by critics as one of the worst films ever made.[44] She was awarded the Worst Actress Razzie Award for her performance; she appeared at the ceremony to accept the award in person (while holding her Oscar from Monster's Ball)[45] with a sense of humor, considering it an experience of the "rock bottom" in order to be "at the top."[46] Holding the Academy Award in one hand and the Razzie in the other she said, "I never in my life thought that I would be up here, winning a Razzie! It's not like I ever aspired to be here, but thank you. When I was a kid, my mother told me that if you could not be a good loser, then there's no way you could be a good winner."[47]
No, she ain't. But, Ms Newmar's replacement (Eartha Kitt) wasn't no slouch, either.
I remember a moment I shared with My Pops, when Ms. Kitt elicited her signature "purr/grooooowl", in that dark, alto-register voice of hers.
I glanced over at him, in his recliner... and he silently shared a wink/smile with me, just beneath My Mother's Deeply Fundamentalist Baptist gaze.

This has been a fun diversion... but it speaks to a deeper point.
Here's the point I'm tryna make here: Do you see how easily we all can be manipulated/distracted?
I just moved an entire DT/PP thread about America's (potential) VP away from its main subject, and into an extended conversation about "which depiction of a DC cartoon villainess gets us off the most?"
This is who we are.
It's why we're so easily moved to pursue the most chaseable, distracting 'squirrel du jour.' ...and it's also why our current political landscape is as fk'd up as it is.
This thread was originally about America's potential next Vice President, in one of the most consequential elections in modern times... and Clemmy was able to distract R's and D's alike away from the original subject, and into a deep dive about actresses, depicting a cartoon character from their pubescent fantasies.
I'm afraid we've crossed the point of no return as far as wanting the voting public to make educated decisions. Our sick, power mongering 2 party system has seen to that. We have a lying, cheating, convicted felon up against an incompetent party puppet. All one has to do is listen to them speak to realize this, yet we have the masses taking sides with the only real argument being that they're not the other guy. Our only hope is that the younger generation of people see through this carnival and make things right. There are a lot of good young people at the local levels on both sides, I see it around here. My son gets involved in local politics. We don't see eye to eye in a lot of areas, but his heart and mind are in the right place. I just hope these kids can do something constructive before becoming tainted.
I'm pretty sure I've already taken that raft downstream to watch the next shift float by.

There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.

I'm almost tempted to make this my new signature (though the old one kinda fits in that regard). Well said.
It's my belief that we need to fight against the 2-party system by legitimizing a third party. Not an easy task, but I think it would get at the root of the problem better than anything else.

That's what I had hoped was happening with the No Labels Party this election cycle but alas they decided not to nominate a candidate. It's has to start somewhere and the sooner the better.
