Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

So far it requires a spellcheck, a grammar check, An entire paragraph spends way too long setting a premise and then an example that does nothing to its premise. His entire intro was a ramble that confuses me to what the hell this was supposed to be a thesis about.
Like there's a single line that says this essay is about "a set of right-wing intellectuals who have come to be labeled the “Conservative Revolutionaries.”" It took you 2 and a half pages to communicate that to the reader, but I still have no idea
- Why should I care about this group?
- Why do you care about this group?
- "Who have come to be labeled" implies this label has come recently. This was a group from WWII. Why can't you just say called?
He then moves into those questions, briefly, again with just galling grammar scattered around. Acceptable in a first draft but certainly NOT a final.
I had to stop reading about a quarter of the way in. It just reeks of padding. I'm not surprised it's plagiarized, it's entirely quotes and trombone speak.
What the hell did he get as a grade? Even if it wasn't plagiarized it couldn't have been a C.
Reading the first page is like, "SAY FREIDRICH ONE MORE TIME, MOTHERFUCKER!" Or, you know, Friedrich, because that's how it's spelled, you stupid asshat. Reeks of padding indeed - this man really used Nietzsche's first name 48 times just to add to the word count like no teacher has ever seen that before.
The intro was painful to read. It’s so blatantly obvious which parts were written by him and which parts were plagiarized (because they were actually well written).
Law school doesn't look at thesis tho
Just GPA and test score.
Shouldn't his undergrad have caught this?
That’s the point. He should never have graduated.
Also, people who do this, tend to continue doing this. So all of his law school coursework is now suspect, as well.
He probably earned his JD as there is very rarely any graded homework in law school. Exams constitute practically all of your grades. Plagiarism should have kept him out, but he likely survived on his own.
Mediaite's quote at the end is chef's kiss.
hahahahahaha!!!
Gonna have to doc marks for not using proper APA citation format.
not that all Republicans are filthy cheatin' liars or anything
This guy's a total goddamned moron who even the moronic Florida GOP hates. They stuck him in a basement office next to a broom closet for his last year in the legislature so they could see as little of him as possible.
