Like 30 seconds of platitudes, 97% not.

Rickrolling is pretty famous. Easier to tell you just to search the meaning

Your going to tell the world that no one told you those 3 things when you were growing up? If so you missed out on a lot and remind me not to let you borrowing anything without a notarized contract.

— It is still possible that he did -—

do What?

Here’s a conspiracy theory for you :)
Why did the passage ‘sounded familiar to’ the “unemployed journalist” who zoned in on this in the first place? According to Katy Waldman at Slate, ‘word is bond’ has now been claimed as a ‘black’-only phrase - and so, spoken by Melania, is viewed as racist “in the signature American way of a white woman who takes from a black woman.”

http://www.slate.com/blogs/lexicon_valley/2016/07/19/your_word_is_your_bond_history_and_origins_from_matthew_to_hip_hop.html

And that, more than anything else, may be the why of all the manufactured hoopla.

Why do refuse to admit those 23 words structured in that order were lifted from obama even after speechwriter admitted and apologized that she had been read the speech and took notes. You cant find anyone at anytime on the net that has used that 23 word structure...can you

A complete set up.

It should never have been doubted that members of the Trump campaign will have been paid off by Soros.
Mr Trump has admitted in the past he has been too trusting to staff, unfortunately the stakes are too high for any sentiment here.

Your barking up the wrong tree. Where did Mooch get those 23 words.

A Freeper found this right away....very strange how this all happened. According to the NY Times Melania didn’t use the speech written by 2 speech writers and instead used what was written by a ballerina who has a degree in English lit...or something. Yikes!
And then Melania lied about it, saying that she wrote the speech. Which is the real problem here.

It's time for Donald and his clan to take this election seriously. Their campaign is laughably amateurish, and we need them to step up.

If Trump can't coordinate a campaign speech, or the rollout of his VP choice, how is his campaign going to run the GOTV effort we so desperately need?

Yeah...and too bad about the speech because I think Melania did a great job. One little flub bringing a ton of flak.

If only the media cared half as much about Hillary the traitor for cash.

In his free, unemployed time, young Jarrett Hill has probably been cranking out a daily article about the "outrage" he feels at Hillary Clinton committing multiple serious felonies, and not being prosecuted.

I can imagine all the "in-depth" detail he's fleshed in about her crimes...

...and contrary to what some media may have implied, the entire speech was not copied from the 2008 Michelle Obama speech.

There wasn't any Wookie in Melania's speech...

Comparing the two Melania comes out VERY favorably. Composed, elegant, beautiful, pleasant, with a genuine love of country. Everything that Michelle is NOT.

To be fair, Michelle speaks almost as many languages as Melania Trump:

Ebonics, Wookie, Obama, MouthBreather, ChargeItToTheTaxpeasants, and a distant last, a rough form of American English.

You’re right - still much ado about nothing but those who need the satisfaction are entitled to it. Class act by Trump to not accept the gal’s resignation.
