Readme:

Joseph R Biden is known for steali.. ah rather… borrowing lines from other people’s speeches to make his own.
After a long and extensive search we have discovered the speech writer he has used and now you can use it too!*
The speech will show up in a teleprompter ready to be delivered. Mouse over the telepromter to stop its scrolling.

ABOUT:

The JOSEPH R. BIDEN PLAGERIZER SPEECHIFIER uses a series of random selections and insertions to select lines from other people’s speeches, movies, sports, television and otherwise general topics and assembles them into a semi-coherent official speech for Joe Biden. You know.. like the thing.

The thing.

You will be able to create a total of 7 (you can change this number limit in the index script line 48 $limit = “7” to any number you would like.

Visitors (yourself included) will be disabled from creating new speeches when the limit is reached. Come back 24 hours later and you will be reset to do it again. This number keeps people from overloading your server.
