It's not plagiarism. It's "idea redistribution": rightfully taking from the intellectually wealthy and giving to the intellectually impoverished.

one time, when I was trying to toll my income tax to ten years so it would be dropped by statute of limitations I kept being called by the IRS saying they will garnish my wages and I told them "oh no ma'am I will be fired if you do that and then you won't get anything" and the IRS agent says to me "well It's against the law for them to fire you for wage garnishment" and then I said "oh no ma'am it wont' be for wage garnishment it will be for financial irresponsibility that I will get fired and then you won't get anything" to which the IRS official said this: "Oh WELL, THAT'S COMPLETELY DIFFERENT". In 2015, 10 years later, my IRS past due taxes were cancelled and the lien against my home erased. I filed on time and admitted that I owed it but they can't make you pay. Just thought I would inform people since you will never EVER hear this anywhere else in the world.

Yes, this is actually 100% the truth. It happened to me and I still can't believe it. But the Lord has not given me a path strewn with roses my friend. I've been struck by lightning, bankrupted, thrown in jail for trying to go back to work, had my signature forged by an ex-mother in law and sent the bill for 35,000. Recently God sent me a message via a dying black cat. It's been a wild ride. Looking forward to what is next! CHEERS JEFF AND C&C CROWD.

Just call it "intellectual appropriation." Then maybe she will be shamed enough to resign.

Priceless. I have said from the 1800's that a lie travels halfway around the world before the truth can even get it's pants on. You can quote me on that.

Mark Twain beat you to it. Please give him the credit due him

It was a very sarcastic joke. I know who said it and I know when he said it. I certainly didn't say it in the 1800's. And...the majority of readers on here are above average and I have every confidence that they know good and well who quoted the above and you proved me correct.

On a thread about plagiarism, somebody plagiarizes Mark Twain in an overtly obvious way... I assumed it was a kind of meta-joke.

Likely, this has been happening throughout her educational experiences. She must be so shocked that she’s being called out on it. I think many of these lofty degree holders don’t fully understand what plagiarism is. And Joe Biden set such a good example, and what price did he ever pay? He is incapable of shame.
