they are trying to ride a dead horse.

America has two sides opposing each other permanently. There will never be a reconciliation. The North and South unifying after the Civil War will never be the modern left vs right.

Yeah framing two white dudes in a bogus attack so they can spend the rest of their life in prison, yeah its all good

If two white guys had been anywhere near the scene that's exactly what would have happened to them.

Why can't these people just act instead of pushing an agenda that's going to piss off fans?

They get incredible recognition, tens or hundreds of people watching them on some show, and they start to think "I have a huge audience, a gigantic number of people who pay attention to me, why don't I try to change the world with my fame, instead of just playing a pretend part on a TV show."

But they right away run into a big problem: how are they going to change the world? What are they going to say to their enormous audience that will start them down the path of world-changing?

They have no idea. They're actors, not philosophers, or historians, or scientists. They don't know what the hell to say if it's not written down on a cue card.

So then they say to themselves, "where can I get some cue cards that have words on them that will help me change the world?"

And The Left is right there, with pre-printed cue cards that say all kinds of wonderful, virtue-signally things. "Here ya go, read this."

“Yeah framing two white dudes in a bogus attack so they can spend the rest of their life in prison . . .”

Yep, the media would have a slobbering “hate whitey” fest for months.

Decided to play with one of his pictures a little...feel free to reuse...



Ok why is it not resizing right??? I tried to set width to 500, it's staying the original size, at least in my preview. It's been a while but I know it worked right before.

[UCANSEE2]

Did you put it in quotes ( width=”500”) ?

[UCANSEE2]

Next time, try using percentage instead of pixel width. I.E. (width=’50%’) instead of (width=’500’)

I use single quotes. You can use single or double as long as you are consistent.

He was in the original Iron Man movie and was pretty good. For some reason in the sequels he was dropped in favor of Don Cheadle, who is okay, although I have gotten to the point I can’t stand him either.

Rolling Stone is well known for promoting insane HOAXES!

Of course they published this tripe.

[dandiegirl]

Guess he’s ok with his buddy having some pretty bad mental health issues too. Jussie needs help.

.....actor Columbus Short asked that Terrence Howard, the Empire star, condemn Smollett's allegedly fake attack, USA Today reported. Short commented. “I look up to you, Terence. You have to take a leadership position. And denounce this (expletive) Smollett. Otherwise you as dumb as he is. Period!” Howard later wrote elsewhere: "The Jussie I know could never even conceive of something so unconscious and ugly.”

The buzz is Smollett was x'ed out of the series ....not b/c of the faked attack.....but b/c his presence on the set caused chaos among the actors.

[RedMonqey]

I hear the "Empire" series is losing it's audience share.

Look’s like Howard has never meet the real Jussie, he needs to take off the blinder’s and get real. The guy is just a real POS, no doubt about it.

I thought he was a drag in Ironman. Though fortunately, he didn’t do any real damage as the film worked well overall.
