    Based on typical news reports about cops their typical IQ is around 5.

    Drama Queen much? Of course.
    Dummy won’t see the inside of of a prison.
    He’ll get a slap on the wrist, then probably check himself into a rehab for being the narcissistic peace of crap he is, for trying to exploit racial division, for a bigger pay check.

    Is this really the dude that you want to put up on a cross?

    Pretty sure that interview was where a lot of people were convinced he was lying. She did her job. Let the subject speak.

    Hell no. It might be different is there was some twisted political motive behind his actions but the facts presented in court make it crystal clear the motive was financial gain. Unless he now tries an appeal for public sympathy based on some previously unspecified (and undoubtedly fictitious) incident of racist or gay based hate trauma his career and reputation are toast.

    The man has stomped on everything activists in both fields have been trying to say for decades. Benedict Arnold has a better chance of having his public reputation revived. Smollet's only other option now is to go down the route a few other disgraced public figures have followed and try to make a buck off his infamy. And that never really seems to end well.

    That's quite a low bar to set for Smollet. Maybe, instead just condemn his actions?

    Manafort will probably get a suite at Mar-a Lago. Smollett is looking at 48 years in a supermax prison.

    Fanning the flames of hatred is just as bad.

    Doubtful.... I predict a redemption tour. The left is very forgiving of those who attack their preferred target (even if they fail). I would not be surprised to seem him getting paid big money in a few years. Look at how well their "victims" get paid, the Kavanaugh accuser profited mightily, Kaepernick raked in 10's of millions from the NFL and millions from NIKE. Being a victim is much more important than being productive.

    And there we have it, ladies and gentlemen, directly from one of our liberal forum friends -- IT WAS ALL TRUMP'S FAULT! :banana:

    Manafort has been held in solitary confinement for almost a year.

    By now Manafort would welcome any cellmate - he has been in solitary for almost a year.

    Oh they already are doing that. In the media, on message board, etc. I am seeing effort made to excuse him or shrug off his offenses or completely ignore them even as they try to blame the right and/or specifically President Trump. I actually heard a talking head--can't remember on which cable program or network--who said that if President Trump wasn't so divisive, hateful, incendiary, then people like Jussie Smollett wouldn't be provoked. Nothing to do in the face of that kind of hatred other than just shake heads and sigh.

    Both of them will be sent to "country clubs" ... wait and see!

    But I hope they don't send Smollett to our supermax prison here in Colorado. Cruel-and-unusual punishment for a creature like Smollett would be imprisonment without the possibility of being able to get tubes of K-Y Jelly....

    You on the hyperliberal Left would love to be able to keep "Jim Crow" alive and leverage it to get sympathy, stir up race-hatred, and maybe get 'reparations' out of it, after politician creeps like 'Ocort' and Harris take over.

    Unfortunately for your faction, as a political mechanism "Jim Crow" ENDED 54 years ago! :nana:

    BTW, speaking of Manafort... they busted him on some kind of personal money-laundering beef with a bunch of criminals in the government of Ukraine... right? And that was many years before Trump even thought about running for office... right? Fine.

    Now, is anybody going to tell us what the hell THAT is supposed to have to do with the constant radical-Democrat rant and investigations all about how, "the russians hacked the election for Trump"?!

    Hillary lost. Crazy thought systems always need a scapegoat for their own failures. The Democrats WERE Jim Crow. It was Democrats that lynched and raped Blacks, insisted they were property and held them in chains. It was the Republicans that set them free. Smollett is insane and the ENTIRE left quickly gave him a national platform for his hate crime and slander.

    Similarly the constant lies about Manafort.Paul Manafort Was an Agent of Ukraine, Not Russia. He was never a Kremlin operative. No one has even alleged espionage. Paul Manafort would never have been prosecuted if he had not joined Donald Trump’s campaign. He would not have been prosecuted if Hillary Clinton had won the 2016 election and spared Democrats the need to conjure up a reason to explain their defeat — something other than nominating a drunk candidate who stopped campaigning too early and campaigned in the wrong states.

    Yes, standing by for the racism charges. Are they blaming the whole thing on Trump yet?

    Exactly, his prosecution was a Deep State warning to anyone daring to work with someone who threatens the old boy/girl Swamp corruption.

    Yes, as is Fat Jerry "No Nads" Nadler's subpoena cannon.

    You have crazies like Smollett attacking Americans on the one side, Deep State Operatives like Dirty Bob Mueller, on the other.
