Jussie Smollett Jokes Declared Off-Limits
nationalreview ^ | August 20, 2019 | KYLE SMITH

Posted on 08/21/2019 9:43:51 AM PDT by MarvinStinson

The Jussie Smollett story has been declared not fit for jokes. “It’s a straight-up tragedy,” declares the co-creator of a Comedy Central show, South Side, set in Chicago.

Bashir Salahuddin, a former Jimmy Fallon writer, says “The whole situation is unfortunate. Particularly for the city, there’s bigger problems for them to handle.”

Yes, well, there are bigger problems than fake crimes, which is why causing hundreds of hours of police work to be wasted on a fictitious attack staged for the purposes of ego gratification and publicity ought to be punished both criminally and socially.

Instead, Smollett was let off scot free by the justice system and largely let off by the usual cultural leaders. Saturday Night Live did a sketch on him months ago, but things have been notably quiet on the mockery front.

Smollett is in a sense being treated as a victim who deserves some space to recover rather than the perpetrator of the most notorious fake hate crime of this century.

Salahuddin vows not to touch the subject of Smollett in any episode of South Side: “There’s nothing funny about it. It’s embarrassing,” he told the showbiz site The Wrap.

A civil suit against Smollett in which the city of Chicago is attempting to recover costs incurred in investigating the case is still pending.

You forgot he saved himself from being hanged too with that noose around his neck. Quite the guy. Some sort of super hero. :-)

My hope is that the investigation into why his case was covered up and then dropped completely, will result in the charges being reinstated and he gets his lying, liberal black ass thrown in jail for a while.

He needs his comeuppance. His just desserts.

Jusssie Smollett jokes don’t work becaus Jussie Smollett is a joke.

And 99.9 percent of all hate crimes are hoaxes.

Ever wonder where, when, who and in what context the terminology "politically correct was first used?"

The Black Book of Communism: Crimes, Terror, Repression

The Dirty War page 99

In February 1919, after the general advance of the Bolsheviks into Ukraine and southern Russia, the first detachment of the Red Army penetrated the Cossack territories along the Don. At the outset the Bolsheviks took measures to destroy everything that made the Cossacks a separate group: their land was confiscated and redistributed among Russian colonizers or local peasants who did not have Cossack status; they were ordered, on pain of death, to surrender all their arms (historically, as the traditional frontier soldiers of the Russian empire, all Cossacks had a right to bear arms); and all Cossack administrative assemblies were immediately dissolved.

All these measures were part of the preestablished de-Cossackization plan approved in a secret resolution of the Bolshevik Party's Central Committee on 24 January 1919: "In view of the experiences of the civil war against the Cossacks, we must recognize as the only politically correct measure massive terror and a merciless fight against the rich Cossacks, who must be exterminated and physically disposed of, down to the last man." 34

In practice, as acknowledged by Reingold, the president of the Revolutionary Committee of the Don, who was entrusted with imposing Bolshevik rule in the Cossack territories, "what was carried out instead against the Cossacks was an indiscriminate policy of massive extermination." 35 From mid- February to mid-March 1919, Bolshevik detachments executed more than 8,000 Cossacks. 36 In each stanitsa (Cossack village) revolutionary courts passed summary judgments in a matter of minutes, and whole lists of suspects were condemned to death, generally for "counterrevolutionary behavior." In the face of this relentless destruction, the Cossacks had no choice but to revolt.

If Mel Brooks can make fun of Hitler, Jesse is fair game.

My point was that “politically correct” is Bolshevik/Communist party terminology. Always has been. Always will be.

“Politically correct?” According to whose politics?

I understand That’s why I said it was designed, among other things, to control the narrative.

The question is... who makes that declaration? Who is the task master that tells the mass media complex what content they can have? George Soros? Tom Steyer? This is in fact an admission that comedy inc in the US is colluding with the left.. (not that we didn’t already know).

Oh, very well played.

He did, after all, manage to beat off two attackers single-handedly.

John Kerry walked into a bar and saw Jesse Smellit coming out of the restroom with a noose around his neck.

“Show me your form 180,” Kerry said.

Jussie Smollett is a race bait-er and likes to fellatio other males while another male sticks their penis up his rectum.

Somehow this is off-limits to mainstream comedians and can't be ridiculed? Comedy is dead profession then.

I’m just sayin’, I never beat off two guys at once who
were throwing bleach on me and trying to hang me.

But Jussie did.

John Kerry climbed out of the river, carrying his canoe in one arm and a full grown Rocky Mountain goat in the other, only to face the entire Iroquois indian nation lined up along the riverbank.

After cutting his way through a solid wall of human flesh with his trusty Bowie knife, Kerry ran into Jesse Smellit, who said to him, “What happened to the goat?”

Kerry hesitated a few moments then said, “Oh...It was very good-—with mustard.”

That got Jesse’s appetite up, so he went to a Your Black Muslim Bakery shop and got a goat sandwich.
