Such good news for a Friday

Dow up over 2600

Oh wait

[Red Badger]

They had to wait for clearance from the DNC...................

I’ll believe he won’t get paid for those two episodes when I see conclusive proof.

[tomkat]

Never watched and never will, but this is karmalicious regardless   :-)

In fact, after a couple of hours in the Cook County detention center Smollett went straight to the nearby set of the series. That reunion of sorts was tense and “very stressful for everyone,” a well placed source tells me as the actor met with various creatives and cast members of the Taraji P Henson and Terrence Howard led Empire.

The fact that he refuses to admit what we all now know undoubtedly contributed to that stress.

$1M per year just went poof! Smart move, race baiting fool.

[SkyDancer]

He’ll claim it’s a racist reaction.

[hardspunned]

You read Hollyweird the same way I do. The break neck speed of his rehabilitation is even surprising me. In 24 hours the narrative has gone from: Poor Jussie, victim of hate crime to black Chicago police captain rushing to judgement and compromising poor Jussie’s right to a fair trial to thanks Jussie for bringing attention to this type of MAGA hate crime.

[Tea Party Terrorist]

Apparently there are a lot of people on the “set” who were not happy he was there. Thsi is the reasoning.

[Red Badger]

As I suspected from the beginning, he’s a sociopath.

He will not admit guilt, he will not apologize unless it benefits him.

He does not care what happens to other people and will adamantly cling to his fantasy and swear everyone is ‘against him.’

I have years of experience with a real, professionally diagnosed sociopath. My brother, I grew up with................

[OKSooner]

Thank you.

Since he’s a citizen of the world and doesn’t believe in borders, the loss of his passport should not be a problem for him. I suspect he will manage to skip out of the country and exile himself to Europa, much like Roman Polanski...

[Lizavetta]

When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging. He’s still digging.....................

And the dumbass doesn't even realize he's lost his shovel.

[woodbutcher1963]

I am very disappointed. First of all nobody posted Nelson from the Simpson’s or Karma is a bitch, etc.

[Red Badger]

He can go to Wakanda..........................

[Oatka]

I bet there are some Freepers that would have done it for a lot less.

Probably some liberals now, also. :-) He gutted the whole hoax routine.

[Red Badger]

This is Hugh and Series!...................I am stuned!...................

[oh8eleven]

The guy will off himself soon.
My prediction too - and he'll blame Trump.

[JimRed]

Have the writers kill him off. Easy-peasey.
