I thought Chicago’s collective spirit was all about excessive gun control and drive by shootings.

If Smallette goes to prison; he will wear it like a badge of honor for the communist cause and be rewarded by Hollywood and the DNC ‘cause racism rocks in their world.

While I’m sure he wanted more money, etc., this is being used to bury the anti-Trump and anti-white aspect of the story. This guy was in deep with the democrats and Maxine Waters is still defending him today.

He just had to sneak the “T” word into his Tweet. LOL

Nothing like a little subliminal programming.

When applying for your new job, Jussie, do NOT look at any position that requires you to DIRECT the project.

“So he complained about his salary, the show decides to write him off (fire him) and his actions of instead of finding a new job, he stages a fake hate crime on himself hoping it would gain sympathy with the producers to keep him and pay him more? Because he would now be a victim and popular with name recognition? He actually believed this would work”

**********

I don’t think that is how it went down.

He is one the show. He decides he’s not making enough money, he creates the fake crime, fake crime falls apart. The show then FIRES him.

This makes absolutely no sense. He sent himself a fake hate letter and then hired some people to put a noose around his neck because he was “only” making $1M a year for a job that requires no education and that produces nothing positive? I’m lost.

My understanding is that he was getting fired anyways. He was being written off the show. He knew that before he did his scam.

So funny that they could not even acquire true MAGA caps in Chicago (MAGA country) and had to settle for generic red caps.

TODAY at UC Berkeley:

gifs website

Victim (21 y.o. guy from Santa Monica studying political economy at UC Berkely) was at a promo booth for Turning Point USA.

His sign said, "Hate Crime Hoaxes Hurt Real Victims" and "This is MAGA Country".

Crazy lefty guy accosts victim, cussing him out, PUNCHES HIM IN THE FACE..!

Walks off.

I don’t believe it was for the money. Why are people accepting this explanation with nothing backing it?

It was another bs hate crime against Trump and all conservatives. his good buddy Kamala with her new bill.

hate crimes are bs to begin with. Policing people’s thoughts. unAmerican.

If you put a few things together ... I can guarantee this guy will never recover his life or career, but also, nothing would have ever been enough for him.
  1. Zero shame lying over and over and over to ABC on national TV, with tears, and while lecturing America.
  2. Previous arrest years ago laying to cops, impersonating another person.
  3. Entitlement.

The words 'narcissistic' and 'sociopath' are thrown around a lot these days as insults, not really meaning 'clinically' as in 'diagnosable.'

This one belongs locked up. The reason is that there is zero connection to other humans/humanity. There is no shame, no compassion, no empathy. This is a guy who lives on the moon and sees other living beings as ... moon rocks. That is, it's not that he's evil, he merely feels no connection. They do FEEL a lot though, and what they feel isn't good.

So this one ... they'd be doing him a favor to lock him up for a long time and MAYBE there is some self reflection and the realization he is not normal so 'does a little work on himself.'

This was not an isolated mistake. For example, if I bite you, MAYBE it's because I did something that's not part of my nature. Then again, MAYBE I'm a snake. No judgment on snakes -> that's what they do when they are threatened and uncomfortable.

This guy is a snake. I say that with no judgment. He's basically a different species.

That's what a sociopath is. They'd be harmless if they weren't in so much pain and think they can solve it by taking things from and hurting other people. They are pretty sure all their problems are because of other people.

So this is systemic, this is not a mistake. It will likely be the repetitive pattern throughout his life, it's just that he's a small time guy starting now, so it's going to not be in such dramatic ways. (Well I'll wait for his trial to say that, so far it looks like he thinks he can pull an OJ on America. Interesting! There's another one of these.)

You get a guy like this leading a country and ... there you have the cycle of farce followed by farce followed by tragedy that Mark Stein speaks of ... defining human history.

Most of them though, their distorted view of self and how grand it is, they are very sloppy, they tend to do things that make them appear very dumb, even the high IQ ones. It's not stupidity really, it's the magical thinking that makes them thing if they thought of it, it's going to work.

This one -> he's is a classic, unlikely he can unwind what's wrong with him. You can't do 'a really good job' painting rotted wood. At that level, I suspect it's in the DNA. Maybe at some point, or even now, the species has benefitted from this type. They must serve some purpose.

These are all valid up issues, but he should have taken it up,p with his employer ... except I suspect he knows he’s not that great and didn’t want to challenge them.

Anyway, who can live on $1,000,000 a year? He probably had to go to the food bank and he was just too tired to fight it out.
