The president's mood has been buoyed by recent polling and his visits to battleground states, as Trump sits in a Manhattan courtroom for his criminal trial.

    They downvote you because of truth? Five minute google for anyone in doubt here are some takes: https://time.com/5636715/biden-1988-presidential-campaign/

    https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/joe-biden-plagiarism/

    https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/03/us/politics/biden-1988-presidential-campaign.html

    https://www.politifact.com/article/2020/may/07/ad-watch-fact-checking-video-about-bidens-academic/

    Like I feel like I am taking crazy pills when I see such downvote ratio on something so verifiably factual and honest.

    ETA I’m being downvoted now and getting complaints about sources despite there being 4 articles and advising a simple google, like just jump to snopes if you refuse to read and just go see the checkmark

      trump has plagiarized a speech, though technically it was a family member of his, and it was also obamas speech.

      I think basically every prominent politician has plagiarized shit at one point.

      The amount of effort they put into shielding Biden from criticism puts them on par with the MAGA crowd.

      In some posts I’ve quoted Biden, but attributed trump and nothing but up votes. I quote Biden and attribute Biden and nothing but down votes

      They were very vocal when Melania plagiarized Michelle Obama, but crickets and down votes when it’s pointed out Biden plagiarized JFK

        This is the part where you’re supposed to post the links to these posts that definitely exist.
