Political Discussion
| I wholeheartedly suggest that others fabricate crimes for the police to investigate. Especially if these issues are important to you. This is really the only way to raise awareness. Especially if you are an actor on a popular TV show. |

I “hope” there are people running around Chicago like this? WTF is wrong with these people: “I continue to hold a sliver of hope that the dots that continue to feel so far apart will eventually connect and the picture before us will show he was telling the truth all along. I hold hope that those faint whispers that began almost as quickly as the story made its way across the networks will be silenced, that Smollett will be vindicated. And the people who took to social media to demand justice for him will not be left to look like fools.“ |
| Man, was I wrong about this guy. I haven’t read through the pages to see if others admitted to it, but when you’re wrong you’re wrong!! |
|
Has anyone thought about...
Jussie was willing to let these guys get brought in and/or charged with a crime? He’s willing to let them be bait for the cops. |
Absolutely! That's so messed up. This entire story is messed up on so many levels. |
This guy is an idiot. And, a perfect example of what is wrong with our country today. He holds victimhood in such high regard that he needs Smollett's story to be true. |
I can’t even with this.... Ridiculous. |
+1 Remember the whole "hands up, don't shoot" thing? Yeah, they'll never learn. Agenda before facts. |
That has to be a troll, right? I truly hope it is because otherwise that is the stupidest person alive. |
| Because it perfectly fit narratives that the Left loves: the narrative of America as racist, homophobic hellhole. |
|
The real message of the past few months is that the media are dominated by those who align with the political Left. That doesn’t mean that everything the media report is fake news. But it does mean that they themselves are too often fake newspeople.
They’re actually motivated actors willing to put aside the strictures of journalistic objectivity in order to run with stories that back a preferred narrative. |

Progressive Politicians only risk was NOT tweeting or commenting.
To be last on the Smollett train would be a huge disadvantage. To be progressive means to jump in. It’s defined itself as a race in other recent instances. ‘Bernie too late on adopting x idea.’ Etc And there was no risk for a progressive politician to be wrong. |

Perhaps Jussie has decided to actually cooperate and work with police. My prediction is that if he does not meet with investigators today, an arrest will be made tomorrow. I also predict a plea deal. |
Well good for CBS news to report this. The action is a little shady. Again, I’m glad this info is at least getting reported on. I expected the whole thing to get dropped in a snap, with no info. |
