Thankfully, Colbert seems to be regaining his identity in recent months. He's been so milquetoast since he went to the Tonight Show...maybe that was a condition of his contract with CBS?

Wa Post:
Some Republicans also said the consequences could be grave.
“Talking to operatives here, the mood is something between grim resignation and the Donner Party,” Mike Murphy, a veteran GOP consultant and a former top adviser to Jeb Bush, said on Tuesday morning.
Steve Schmidt, the senior adviser to the 2008 presidential campaign of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), said on MSNBC that the plagiarism accusation has “brought scandal on a potential first lady.”

Another thing that struck me as odd about Mrs Trumps speech. English is clearly not her first language. So electing Trump means placing in the White House, a person with significant ties to foreign countries.
It means nothing to me, but you can't help but wonder how it impacts the vague feelings of those who are so anti-foreigner?

"The one with Bush is the one photoshopped."
Whatever, Cosmic.
That Bush image has been around FOREVER. Genuine or not, it came first (edit: as a political meme), and some lame ass usedtabe tweeted it to get some attention.
A usedtabe to who is gaining attention by human caterpillaring himself onto a golden manatee. The same golden manatee whose wife plagiarized the speech of the Right's second most hated FLOTUS.
There. We got things back on topic. Let's try to stay there, huh?

You'll note that the non-highlighted parts contain some pretty obvious rephrasing...they only highlighted the verbatim bits.

Melania plagiarized Michelle?
Oh my!!!
Is this worse than Michelle plagiarizing Alinsky?
Barack plagiarizing Patrick?
Hillary plagiarizing Edwards? Sanders?
Looks like Melania's transgressions are standard fare.

Thank you for clarifying the thought process employed to justify how we wound up with a Trump nomination.
Pestilence has struck at the RNC.

I can't watch most of it. I watched Michele Obama's speech and Donald's intro. The rest was all doom and gloom.

Holy crap!
"At least a dozen California GOP staff members at the Republican National Convention have been quarantined in their hotel rooms after becoming ill with what appears to be a highly contagious norovirus, also known as the cruise-ship virus, according to officials from both the California GOP and local health agencies.
“It looks like norovirus,” said Pete Schade, the Erie County health commissioner. His department collected fecal samples from the afflicted staffers Tuesday morning and planned to take them to a state lab in the afternoon."
YOU CANNOT MAKE THIS SH#T UP.
Republicans get shtooped by Trump as their candidate, then get a swab up their arse at the RNC. Priceless!

If trump's people simply said "oops we fooked up" we would've passed the plagiarism thing's half life several hours ago. But because they double down on everything and never apologize, it's now overshadowing Day 2.
