Well, you can always find someone saying something mean on Twitter ...

[EdnaMode]

What? I’m shocked! (Sarcasm)

[SisterK]

I have to sign up for twitter?
Ah, never mind.
I’ll stick to being a right wing nut job.

[Skooz]

More than that, his SJW martyrdom is already carved in stone for life.

[Tax-chick]

I don’t use Twitter, either ... but out in real life, I sometimes say things like, “Immoral sexual behavior is wrong,” and that’s just a short step from going out in sub-zero weather at 2:00 a.m. hoping to encounter a homosexual upon whom I can pour bleach.

"In a way, the contention is true: millions of (fill in subgroup) “feel” under attack, even though no attacks happen."

If they "feel" under attack, it is because the media have been telling them they are under attack, even though there is very little in Trump's actions or rhetoric to support that. You could make a much better case that Jews and Christians and whites are under attack from the left. Anti-Israeli sentiment is mainstream on the left, whereas anti-Jewish sentiment is on the extreme fringes of Trump's support.

Colleges and corporations increasingly sponsor seminars and classes attacking "whiteness," and there is no comparable movement on the right denouncing anyone for the color of their skin.

Christian nominees for political office, and Christian political candidates, are increasingly under attack for their faith, and openly anti-Jewish candidates (Omar, etc.) are being elected as Democrats.

...He should be billed for every single dime that was spent on this fiasco.

3x for deliberate fraud

As one writer said earlier this week, the demand for racism and homophobia in this country greatly exceeds the supply.

That's a great line. Absolutely true. And it's been like that for a long time.

Going way back, there was Tawana Brawley for example. And there have been many examples since then.

"New: Sources—The brothers were paid $3,500 prior to leaving for Nigeria and were promised an additional $500 upon their return. @cbschicago"

This puzzles me. Why did he hold back the $500 x2? Did he want to make sure the brothers would return? Why?

Why didn't they stay in Nigeria? 3.5K x2 is much more than 500. Then again, why the round trip?

I'm just curious as to what the hoaxer's following plans were to be.

BTW & LOL He thinks he's worth 7k. LOL

[Sarah Barracuda]

Yeah just shows what an absolute cheap ass Jussie is..all this for 4 grand, well guess he got his moneys worth LOL

[Sarah Barracuda]

Trump won 12 percent of the vote in Chicago..there are so few Trump supporters in Chicago the two Nigerian brothers bought red hats from a beauty supply store, they couldn’t even find REAL MAGA hats(Unless they ordered them online)

[chiller]

It did kill them. Airporting today and saw some of the late CNN analysis. It was heart warming to see their funereal coverage "How does he recover from this ?.. boo hoo " Left unsaid was how they missed DJT and those evil MAGAns...again !

And the ABC Robin Roberts interview ! ACTING ! Wow was she ever played.

It was difficult to hide my smug smile. Too damn good.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Cue Gomer Pyle and “Surprise, surprise”!

[Secret Agent Man]

They also waste police time and moneyand resources and waste the courts time, and play them for imbeciles.

They sow discord between peoples hoping to make groups hate each other more.

They destroy trust in the system and tbe process because the system bends over backwards for fake victims staging their own fake crimes.

[DAC21]

“LOL guess these guys were pretty desperate for the money..500 bucks to return to the US chump change”

Where do you think the Government teat is bigger, Nigeria or the USA? They didn’t need a bribe to come back, just a Jussie paid plane ticket to collect this months SNAP payment

[SisterK]

LOL
we are so unhinged

[Chode]

did they yell MAGA in a nigerian accent???

[avenir]

Also a WIDE range of black YouTubers were calling fraud on this thing early on. Didn’t matter what side of the aisle. FRAUD!

"And the ABC Robin Roberts interview ! ACTING ! Wow was she ever played. "

That was a creepy interview. If he's an actor, he's horrible. He sure did give himself away.

I'm just wondering if that interview was a set up.
