I am reading there is backlash against Emanuel from left and right.

"To hear Mayor Rahm Emanuel call the prosecutors’ decision to accept an alternative resolution to the Smollett case a “whitewash of justice” in a city with a police and prosecutorial history as checkered as ours rang not just wrong, but fundamentally ridiculous," opinion writer Mikki Kendall wrote. "Whether one’s personal belief about whether Smollett told the whole truth, a portion of the truth or an outright lie when he reported being assaulted, there is no reality in which the Mayor of Chicago, or the head of the Chicago police force, have the moral authority to stand in judgment of anyone’s morality."

Is it possible that people are beginning to see the hypocrisy and corruption?

Funnier than Monty Python's Flying Circus?

I posted the $130K in one of the threads.

Smollett's lawyer is planning to countersue the City.

This is hilarious! Much better than a circus!

I was expecting this: Emanuel blames Trump for the Smollett scandal.

After all he was close to Hussein and learned to blame everything on Bush:

They write the "standards of education" curricula and they promote the rote recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance and the very misleading notion of governance once presented in "Schoolhouse Rock". Not that SR is wrong wrt the Constitution, but reality is not by the Constitution, today.

It`s no coincidence this happened after the coup report was released, the were both, after all, orchestrated by the same source, the illustrious communist BHO.

Could be.

I read that according to left left "Justice is done" applies to the Smollett case, in view of the Mueller conclusions. In their minds the Mueller report is a coverup so to balance it out, they acquit Smollett.

That is how the minds on the left camp work.

Maybe a problem-less society doesnt leave room for the leftists to scare people and control them.

Therefore, they want failure and problems to put the fear of god into the citizens so they agree to let the government run their lives to "fix the problems". The real problem though is that the government solutions never FIX anything- like the war on drugs, the open borders ideas, the useless wars in other countries, etc. etc.

Here is my (conspiracy theory) take on this...

a. The charges against Smollett are dropped, effectively creating a situation where most of America is crying foul and suggesting a cover up, supported (somewhat surprisingly) by extreme Chicago Democrat Rahm Emanuel.

b. The charges against Trump are dropped, effectively creating a situation where most Congressional Democrats are crying foul and suggesting a cover up, supported (not surprisingly) by extreme Liberals, everywhere.

Does anybody else see the correlation, here? Are the American people being conditioned, by the Smollett case, so that the Democrats can be made to appear to have some justification for their non-existent case(s) against President Trump?

This tells just how corrupt our country has become.

"All they did with Trump is keep him from doing his job."

Of course. That was the idea.

They were well aware he'd turn the country around from the depths of the Hussein years and that would be obvious for everyone to see.

Despite of their interference, Trump still made the country a better place to live in, improving many metrics. That is why Hussein reacted with vitriol to the improving economy.

This is a many headed snake. All heads should be cut off to free the country of their lethal effect.

Same with me. I stop watching reruns of the movies I DID like with those actors also. Let them drift off into oblivion.

I agree what they did to Trump IS unforgivable. If they did that to Obama I would actually feel the same- there is some respect that needs to be shown to the person who wins the presidency. After they are elected, the country is dependent on them to do the right thing. All they did with Trump is keep him from doing his job.

I am already doing that with most of Hollywood, effectively meaning not going to movies or not tuning to TV shows.

What Hollywood was doing to Trump is unforgivable. Let alone the fact that these nitwits (most of them high school dropouts) have one and only one requirement: to be good actors/actresses by bringing on a good performance.

They are incapable of doing that, instead go and prostitute themselves on the altar of the left and what it stands for.

I quickly grab the remote whenever I see Streep, DeNiro, Sheen, DiCaprio et al on the screen. They just have to do without my participation.

Why the Dept of Education?

Unfortunately MINITRUE, aka the Dept. of Education, will be dragged into this by the left.

Boy is that true. I feel better when cops are NOT around. Its says "to protect and serve" on the side of the cop cars, but all they do is take money from me, threaten to arrest me if for the slightest infraction of their rules, and never protect me, but just take reports if someone breaks into my house.

Not sure what they really do positively for me.

Hollywood probably wont ostracize him from acting, but I sure will. I will never go to a movie that he is in, or watch a TV show that features him.

Yes,

"The Smolletts have also been outspoken politically and, since their school years, devoted to causes like H.I.V./AIDS prevention and ending apartheid. They were raised in the orbit of the Black Panthers and, lately, have lent their voices to the Black Lives Matter movement. Their trajectory, from child stars to successful adults, is born of their family and its history of activism."

"“My mom was in the movement with Bobby Seale and Huey Newton, and one of her first mentors was Julian Bond,” Mr. Smollett said of the Black Panther founders and the civil rights leader. “To this day, Angela Davis is one of her dearest friends. We’ve spent Mother’s Day with Angela.”

Quite a background to be proud of...😲 That is the "movement" he was referring to.

I hope this blows up in her face and her potential candidacy. I thought she was angling for VP slot with Beto, but this might kick her out.

She is a vicious witch I think. It just comes through loud and clear. Same with Warren and Hillary. None of them will ever overcome that no matter what smiles their handlers paste on their faces.

Harris now says she "is confused".

It must take extra imagination to wiggle out of this mess.

I find it interesting that this "Blackwash" occurred only after Moochelle -BHO's significant other- interfered, and the LSM is ignoring the 'chain' of interference.
A black guy who claims the 'racism' of MAGA (President Trump and the 'Deplorables') but who sent himself 'unidentified white powder' through the mail indicating he is a 'self-made victim' has to be protected by the half-white President against his own 'reality' of self-chosen actions and motivations... Today's democrat in action.

Smollett's mother is a communist, closely affiliated with the (old) Black Panthers and a close friend of Angela Davis. Jussie apparently never took acting lessons, having been taught at home how to lie with a straight face because, you know, a lie told to pursue a righteous cause is morally equivalent to the truth.

I heard that kamala harris put him up to it so help get her "lynching" bill passed. Once it did pass, then they didnt want a trial on these charges to bring up what a slimeball they all are. Plus Michelle Obama apparently pulled some strings too.

For all the people who HAVE been lynched, this situation is an insult of the highest order. At a minimum this dude's career in hollywood should be ENDED forever.

The latest "gem" in the "America is not that great" "movement" is Holder stepping up to the task.

As Cuomo, he is now trying a new tack (after he was shot down for "We'll kick them") by saying America was never great:

The left's subversion is so disgusting you can have only one reaction: "Why in hell you don't go somewhere you'd be more happy?"

We'll never be that lucky. The parasitic left is fully aware that this country is great and the best and even allows them to malign her.
