| Jeff makes sense, the Chicago chief of police is the goat- so impressed, Smollett is a clown, and this thread should not be deleted |

Kamala Harris’s comment on the matter is...well..pretty much what i thought it would be. “Yeah, making a false report is bad..BUT HATE CRIMES ARE ON THE RISE!”
No buts, Kamala. Making a false report, particularly one like this, is bad. Full stop. No ifs, ands, or buts. Jussie’s false claim didn’t just waste countless police resources..it did damage to ACTUAL victims of hate crimes. |
Smollett is a clown. A fraud, charlatan, douchebag. And unless you can show some tangible and meaningful evidence of some grand orchestrated conspiracy scheme that connects it to anything else, this was about Smollett and nobody else. Not about "liberals," not "SJWs" or any of the rest, it was and is not anything bigger than Smollett being an asshole. Period. Nothing for the right wing to legitimately dance around and celebrate over like they are. |

Smollett is still proclaiming his innocence:
To the cast of Empire: "I’m sorry I’ve put you all through this and not answered any calls. I wanted to say I’m sorry and, you know me, I would never do this to any of you, you are my family. I swear to God, I did not do this.” https://www.tmz.com/2019/02/21/jussie-smollett-empire-cast-apology-leaves-set/ |
I agree with the bolded part of the post (and the rest of it for the most part). But the takeaway is that he exploited what he knew would be a hysterical media and twittersphere for personal gain. Black, gay, MAGA, noose, bleach; perfect to catapult his career from D-list actor to a high profile victim. This story was patently absurd from the start yet his plan worked perfectly; for the first few days at least. It became a rush to see who could show the most outrage. Kamala was probably getting ready to parade this idiot all over the campaign trail. He called himself the "gay Tupac" in an attempt to fashion his own legend. Smollett is not the cause of the problem but rather a symptom of it. |
You are incorrect. Smollett is a liberal SJW and used the word MAGA as a return address on his fake hate mail. He gave his fake attackers money for a red hat a la MAGA hat. He lied and said-or his manager said- the fake attackers shouted “this is MAGA country.” The right wing isn’t making this about anyone: Smollett made it about the right wing. I think the right wing should celebrate that they were framed by a racist pig and the pig was found out. Screw him. |
Totally agree. "Okay, he lied. But on the plus side, he started a dialogue." Bullshit. Just don't go there. |
Oh dear. I guess you'd agree that we need to delete the hundreds of hateful threads full of liberals gloating about Trump-this or Trump-that - right? There won't be much left to read in the Political forum.

Conservative here who doesn't think Northam or Herring should resign based on wearing blackface once in the 80s. It's Democrats who are calling for their resignations - not conservatives. |
I'm loving that prosecutor. No nonsense. |
And you don't want people to "still see it" because...?? You're embarrassed? You should be. |
I completely agree. |
