I suppose the New York Times will run daily stories on this until he resigns, unless Secretary of Defense is a less newsworthy job than a college administrator?

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth ’03 ‘plagiarized’ small portions of his senior thesis, experts say. But how serious is it?

    You need an /s on that one. Of course they won't. He's a white man and she is a Black woman. The Times is scared shitless of the Trump regime.

    Or maybe they never actually cared about minor incidences of plagiarism and were just trying to get someone they didn't like fired for unrelated reasons?

    If "half the examples constitute a form of serious plagiarism," how could they conclude that there wasn't a "deep example of plagiarism?"

    He is part of a great team of liars, led by the trump, who paid another to take his SATs, cheated those who he contracted for work, hired undocumented workers and inflated or diminished real estate values.

    If Signal Gate didn't take him down, there is no way that plagiarism on his senior thesis will.

    You know how pickpockets will create a distraction while they rob you? This is like that. This IV drip of news is distracting us from the real story which is that Trump is robbing the country blind while driving it off a cliff.

    It’s delicious how in his fervor to expose meritless frauds he systematically reveals himself to be the very thing he’s looking for.

    BTW, it was nice to see that the Princeton students who worked so hard on the article clearly deserve to be at Princeton. It’s thorough and excellent work.

    Obituaries are often written by fiduciary estate executors or surviving family. Spellcheck is mostly what is required.

    I’d be more shocked if hegseth was even capable of putting together his own coherent thesis on any matter. I’ve realized that an unqualified idiot nominated to run a department will surround himself with other unqualified idiots that also have no idea what they are doing.

    There's this theory I've heard around here that the Times actually likes Trump and is slanting their coverage to benefit him. Is that crazy or do you think it could be true?

    They don’t care about the CORRUPTION in the DEMENTED NAZI, FRAUDSTER, and CONVICTED FELON’s administration, thanks to sleazeburger.

    the difference unfortunately is that Hegseth is incapable of shame and would never resign under that cloud

    Remember the outrage over Claudine Gray? I am sure Fox News will give this accusation the same attention!!!
