I read some headline today that said he was back on the set and I remember thinking, “That’s not gonna go well.”

The whole lot of them are nuts. They think humans are robots and can simply be programmed to do a thing and they do it. Children.

And does Fox, a pillar of courage, continue to review its options? Fox needs to be boycotted until the financial pain makes them do the right thing.

"He reportedly pleaded with his colleagues to believe that he did not pay two Nigerian brothers to attack him in a staged hate crime so that he could get a raise, as is alleged by police."

He could be telling the "truth" to his colleagues if only one part of what the police said is not true, like the motive.

The Left:
Ignore these facts. We have a narrative to continue.

In time the show Empire will be more watched than ever, Smollett will become the next Kaepernick, and his trial will be more watched that OJs. This is the sick state of America, 2019.

They’re not furious he’s brought shame to the show. They’re furious because way less false accusations against Trump supporters will be believed.

Anyone heard from Chief drum beater Vietnam vet lately?

We all know he faked it. The fact he is fighting it is proof that the truth has become irrelevant. People will believe a falsehood despite the clear facts because the narrative is more important than the facts. That’s why people believe the Newtown shooting never happened.

I believe more and more people will come over to his side just to be a contrarian.

Smollett now faces the major wrath of fellow Leftists—especially in the media. Ouch.

How can any thinking person believe this idiot is innocent, given what we know so far? And we probably know only SOME of the evidence against him thus far.

“....Others are standing by him and believe his claim that he is innocent...”

How can he be innocent? Can someone please tell me?

This little creep played everybody. He spouted lie after lie. The worst of all is he was perfectly willing to let two complete innocent strangers go to prison so he could get a raise. He is lower than whale sh!t!

Proof positive that libs are mentally ill, blinded to any facts that conflict with their perverted, despotic ideology.

Anyone that believes we can peacefully coexist in **freedom** with these sick puppies is as deluded as they are.

As actors ipso facto they are good at displaying emotions they don’t genuinely feel:

“Oh, we are OUTRAGED..!”

Come on: Controversy brings ratings.

Banish all doubt they are jumping up and down, overjoyed with Jussie’s result$.

Smollett claimed his attackers wore MAGA caps...... a red cap was found, but it wasn’t a MAGA logo ......

Chicago isnt exactly MAGA country——MAGA hats are few and far between.

In fact....that’s what made the cops suspicious.

B/c few if any Trumpers watch Empire....so how would they know who Smollett was...least of all what he looked like.

The fact that there are arguments means they are still all Jessie’s in essence. Racists before capitalism is in play.

Trying to move from denial to bargaining.

Love it.

All liberals are Jussie Smollett.

Smollett pissed off the Empiire cast in at least two ways. First, he will probably negatively affect the viewership of the show. Not everyone who watches Empire is black. Second, Smollett violates the unspoken rule that you never endanger the view that blacks are hopelessly oppressed and that the moral high ground gained from that view from that must be held.
