Can someone please watch "The Talk" today and see if they report on the latest news about Jussie? I can't watch it today and I can't record it either, but yesterday they were all PRO Jussie on the show and now I'm waiting to see if they will report the latest news about the 2 Nigerian men and their connections to Jussie. I'm pretty sure they won't, but I'd like to believe that they might after yesterday's show.

I guarantee you the author hasn't changed his mind one bit. Leftists are unable to internalize events that run counter to their core beliefs. Inconsistencies are isolated from their consciousness. That's why they don't even consider the ridiculously long list of racial hate hoaxes.

Rob Elgas is also reporting an arrest. We shall see if these reports hold up.

Yes- they are two Nigerians who worked with him on the Empire set, so of course this is just another lib hoax. He was going to be written off the script, so arranged this hoax to save his skin, as there is nothing more appealing to a lib than a victim, particularly a victim of Trump (the devil incarnate to a lib). The libs, of course, are like a bass hitting on a shiny lure and believed it all.


Acts of violence and racism are so rare today that the dems need to concoct hoaxes to keep the "hate" stoked and fresh in the mind of the party faithful.


Without victims, there would be no democrat party.


Ever hear about the fable of "The Boy Who Cried MAGA"?

TMZ is reporting a battery arrest. But, this is unconfirmed at this point.

Nothing official from CPD Spokesman:

It's really astonishing to me that anyone believed this story in the first place? Some are just so desperate to believe that we live in an evil, racist society that they will make stuff up to get that narrative out.

But what about people in the media like Robin Roberts? She used to be a valued, beloved journalist. You don't have to like Trump. Heck, I'm not a fan of the guy. But why ignore any moral integrity and jump on the fake news bandwagon. Risk your credibility. Why is hating Trump more important than that?

A large part of it is undoubtedly the Trump animosity but also the still prevalant "brother/sister" mentality in the black community that still goes on. Such allegiance to each other (and giving unwarranted "leniency" or support) based partly or only on racial reasons and discounting or detracting many of the negatives in such situation (so as not to cast the "victim" in a bad light) is very divisive and racist in its own way and needs to stop. There is no doubt that Roberts and other black reporters would have pushed further with the questioning if this had been a white guy and the questions were out there about this being a hoax.

Blacks say they want a color blind society but many times wind up using (either purposely or subconsciously) their race/color as an exclusive, separatist type of thing to support each other & stick together even when the odds are members of their race are lying or guilty.
