The hypocrisy of the left truly knows no bounds. Roseanne Barr gets fired immediately and her character killed off. For a single tweet. This guy fabricates an hoax, causes tons of racial division, commits a felony, costs tax payers money, etc and is back on the set of Empire hours after posting bail. Not fired, still filming. After all the calls for her job, and the "she deserved it", not the same here. Smollett doesnt want due process for Kav, now claims he deserves it. Which I think he still does, like all people do. MSNBC finally covers it, and has a guest on there claiming that racist cops may have framed him. Hosts dont confront him at all for it, let it go unchecked. CNN has a star host claiming Smollett is like Jackie Robinson. Seriously? Much like rape allegations, people are treated differently based on what their political status is. No marches, no calls for jobs for the accused rapist when they're Dems.

Minority privilege strikes again. Make some silly claim of racism and are automatically believed. No questions asked. No proof needed. No matter that it didnt make sense to start with. Confronted with facts, and people STILL cant believe he made it all up. Its just unfathomable to them. And the left wonders why fake news is a thing. Because they push stories based on their agenda, facts be damned.

you are the victim.

Every ten times that pendulum swings right it swings one time to the left. And sure enough the usual crowd is in here raving about that ONE time at the same time rationalizing that the prior ten doesnt actually exists.
Good job.
Doesnt mean that the ONE time doesnt count though. If the story checks out that guy should be fucking delt with. What an asshole.

This case also exposes their continued hypocrisy.

Jussie makes a false felony allegations without credible evidence and triples down on the lie. Let's see, who do we know that practices this kind of behavior on such a regular basis it has become normalized? These same people dumping on Jussie and he deserves it, still Trump and his continued encyclopedia of lies.

Remember their position, Jussie is a scumbag but Trump is just being Trump.

@HomerJS its time to update the thread title
I want to keep the title to make a point. As I mentioned, although my OP clearly stated we need to wait for the evidence to come in, I chose to initially believe Jussie. Maybe it will be a lesson especially for Trump supporters sometimes its right and wrong not right and left.

Take it up with the producers of Empire and uh, FOX, I guess. These are their employees and they get to make the decisions about their employees when, I'm sure you can appreciate this situation: they have not been convicted of anything.

Uh wait, what's that: Jussie is suddenly not innocent until proven guilty? Have you just shit on your entire moral center that you hammer over and over and over again on these forums, with the same exact tepid posts? What must this mean for you? Must suck to not know who you are anymore.

Anyway, that's the issue. You aren't seeing and you aren't going to see "the left" come out and support this guy, because they sure as shit aren't right now. But if you need to invent this reality in your mind to make yourself happy, go right ahead. Me, I'm going to let the powers that be deal with this turd and get on with my life, while you dudes can register Jussie's face into your spank bank and keep creaming yourself over him just to get to sleep, because it seems that is what is going on with you deplorables.

Lol, you want to keep the title at this point because it shows you were wrong how? I have seen a lot of other titles change to correct themselves. Seems strange you don't want to have yours updated.

I saw Chris Christie on Bill Maher and he put it perfectly; Trump is not held to the same standard as the rest of us... its just how it is and it was evident very early in the campaign too.
Right now that is the only trickle down that is happening... Trumps base feel they should not be held to the same standard as everyone else. Trickle down finally works.

You can easily tell the intelligence of someone by the length of their reply to a legitimate argument.

have you ever read an Ackmed post? It's the same pablum over and over, predictably ignoring the points of the issue and misrepresenting reality in place of feels. Every single time, lol.

My opinion on why this is, comes from people's perception of the criticisms about him. There is a presumption by many that the criticisms about him are almost always biased and exaggerated. So the default for those people is to take a claim that is presented as level 10 and shift it down to level 5. This means anything that is truly a 10 will get pushed down.

Kinda like the time you made the statement gender is 100% a social construct even though the available evidences is overwhelmingly against you? That is a big stone to throw by you when your mansion is made of glass.

*I think* the Police have a $3500 check the victim wrote to the attackers.
*I think* they have phone records of the victim calling the attackers before & after the attack.

No. It was a different thread in which you made the factually incorrect statement that gender is 100% a social construct. That statement can only come from your feelings as the vast majority of research says that your statement is wrong.

Is this a response to the presumption of innocence? I'll add one to it.

Now, I'm not rich enough to have my own coach, but I think that means he knows him rather well.

Trump is not held to the same standard as the rest of us...

Anyways, there's a huge difference between the man who cried wolf this month being caught writing the wolf a check, and hearsay / a single testimony towards private actions 35+ years ago. Or the partisan claims against a President, none of which have been brought forth as actionable crimes.

Yes, Trump is a POS liar, but politicians are accused of being that ALL the time. Literally. What signal to noise ratio do you expect to get out of that? Furthermore, that's one hell of a "whataboutism" for this topic.

Its not a whataboutism its pointing out people on the right are only concerned about right and left

People on the left are concerned about right and wrong.
