I'm shocked that Emmanuel is coming out so strong against this "whitewash of justice" as he's calling it. He's practically foaming at the mouth angry!

Rahm isn't running for re-election. He is finally showing some balls.

Looks like all the people who voted yes in the poll have a problem to work out in their own minds.

You noticed that too.

I told you guys right from the start this would happen here in this thread and I repeated it a number of times.

Jussie Smollett is a Hollywood celebrity who also checks a number of other boxes on the Democrat left's "Identity politics" hierarchy of 'social justice'. The Democrat left has corrupted our system of justice and it can no longer be trusted to adjudicate matters based on whether the accused's conduct violates the law, but instead preferential treatment is openly granted based on the person's politics, their celebrity status, their sexual practices and of course the color of their skin.

If anyone here had any doubts about this shocking truth, the dismissal of these charges against Smollett should go a long way towards clearing up your confusion on this point.

With the Democrat left, we are no longer a nation of laws, we are a nation based on personalities and political preference.
Clearly you were correct ..... They had a confession and video tape to back up that confession.
Smollett had something more powerful ...... a lot of Friends in High Places

What's 10 Grand among friends? It's just Chump Change for the "Elite" in a Corrupt city or Court.
He was pleased to "donate" it. The Judge was happy to Seal the Smollett record.

Hopefully there are those who are bigger than Barry and Smollett who aren't corrupt who will investigate this. Hopefully this is not over.
I think he actually said "masked men" -- of course, there was all that stuff he claimed about MAGA, Red Hat anti-black slurs. Pretty clear he meant "white people" .... which is WHY it was investigated as a Hate Crime.

Those people live in a different delusional world.

Smollett went on national TV, very adamantly saying two white guys in MAGA hats attacked him, rope around his neck, and so on. This morning his attorney said his two Blk friends did indeed attack him for reasons unknown.

Yeah, he’s totally innocent and telling the complete truth. Lol 😂

No we don't. The charges weren't dropped because it wasn't a hoax, they were dropped in recognition for his "volunteer service to the community." And surely it was out of his sense of community that he surrendered a pile of cash to the DA's office.

He forfeited his bond. Would you just give away $10,000 if you were innocent? I wouldn't.
