Not sure about your nickname, but the situation certainly happened.. really did take a pretty big hit over the speech plagiarism incidents (there were more than one). But others have done that as well - see Trump, Melania or Rubio, Marco.

BTW, I totally agree with your footnote/slogan.

Joe Biden hit a home run with his historic, satiating, longed for acceptance speech Thursday night.

Does not have dementia. Reads well. Speaks fine. And was telling folks everything they’ve wanted to hear - from a new American president.

Thanks, Bold Joe. You reassured a lot of us. Time to vote you into the White House and fix what Trump has carelessly burned - with crazy glee and stupid, selfish, childish abandon.

He will always be Putin’s puppet. Always Q’s messiah.
And the captured who believe QAnon - will always bow and worship Trump - to death.

Revealing to see your disappointment cloaked in laughter. People often nervously laugh to hide their inevitable hard swallow of a very bitter pill. Reality just bit you in the butt, Times Up Trumpsters. You can’t handle the truth.

I’ve got a good idea! Amuse yourselves with fantasy - in your latest Looney Tune Theatre conspiracy selection.

Wonder how many takes they had to do with that Biden speech before they got a "production" version?

From ESPN Films (which runs 14 minutes) why Michael Dukakis did not became president in November of 1988: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PICluK9Wjzs
