“How serious is it,” for a republican, not serious at all. No one even expects them to tell the truth.

Cheat. Makes you wonder what he’s running behind trumps back. Wink wink.

Looks like plagiarism to me, but expensive and exclusive private school often bed over backwards to protect students from their own shortcomings

Didn’t Melanoma plagiarize Michelle Obama’s speech?

Just one of their own? A study would surely expose all of them.

Hypocrisy is their adrenochrome

For the last time, it’s ok if they do it, alright? The sooner we get this through our thick skulls the better. When it comes to republicans, there is no hypocrisy, dishonesty, lying, or theft. It’s all justified, and in many cases, encouraged. They live in a post morality reality.

They have been campaigning like that because they do it themselves.
We have to realise, idiots like real MAGA have no new ideas of their own.
All they can do is blame others for things they do because they can't imagine anything else.

I don't think you see how this works.

Remember that supposed parody of the Last Supper painting and how upset their christian sensibilities were offended?

Remember Trump tweeting an AI image of himself as pope without a single wimper of christian sensibilities?

See how that works.
