!agree

2019-02-16 22:38:33 UTC [Subverse #general]  

s'not looking too good for Jussie now

2019-02-16 22:39:00 UTC [Subverse #general]  

Like, I could see this spinned a few ways

2019-02-16 22:39:33 UTC [Subverse #general]  

they could say either the Nigerians just hated Jussie and wanted to beat him up, and dressed like MAGA guys to obfuscate their identity

2019-02-16 22:40:03 UTC [Subverse #general]  

or the Nigerian guys could say "Jussie is just trying to frame us, we weren't involved at all"

2019-02-16 22:40:49 UTC [Subverse #general]  

possibly

2019-02-16 22:42:17 UTC [Subverse #general]  

or the Covington thing

2019-02-16 22:42:33 UTC [Subverse #general]  

I mean, as a brown guy

2019-02-16 22:42:43 UTC [Subverse #general]  

who got called racist things by randos in the past

2019-02-16 22:42:53 UTC [Subverse #general]  

why would you fake this shit to market your brand

2019-02-16 22:43:04 UTC [Subverse #general]  

like that is as pathetic as you can get

2019-02-16 22:43:19 UTC [Subverse #general]  

no self-respect

2019-02-16 22:47:50 UTC [Subverse #general]  

I really have no idea how 2020 is gonna go

2019-02-16 22:49:12 UTC [Subverse #general]  

I think what pissed me off the most was

2019-02-16 22:49:16 UTC [Subverse #general]  

the antifa bikelock guy

2019-02-16 22:49:30 UTC [Subverse #general]  

like, you didn't even hit the actual "nazis" you hit a mexican dude walking by

2019-02-16 22:49:50 UTC [Subverse #general]  

you get a misdemeanor

2019-02-16 22:50:43 UTC [Subverse #general]  

like, I don't think anything bad is going to happen to Joseph Alcoff either

2019-02-16 22:50:53 UTC [Subverse #general]  

Alcoff is giraffe guy

2019-02-16 22:51:02 UTC [Subverse #general]  

at least, one of two giraffe guys

2019-02-16 22:54:55 UTC [Subverse #general]  

@mikeflarkin wait what?

2019-02-16 22:55:04 UTC [Subverse #general]  

I wanna know more

2019-02-17 00:17:16 UTC [Subverse #general]  

even CNN has confirmed it

2019-02-17 00:18:01 UTC [Subverse #general]  

yeah

2019-02-17 00:18:52 UTC [Subverse #general]  

it's like when Fox says something bad about Republicans, or when Buzzfeed says something is cringe

2019-02-17 00:19:02 UTC [Subverse #general]  

like if even they admit it

2019-02-17 00:19:46 UTC [Subverse #general]  

the thing is, who the fuck would believe him regardless of the race involved

2019-02-17 00:19:53 UTC [Subverse #general]  

on the coldest night of all time

2019-02-17 00:19:55 UTC [Subverse #general]  

in Chicago

2019-02-17 00:20:06 UTC [Subverse #general]  

in a story that suggested a premeditated attack

2019-02-17 00:20:24 UTC [Subverse #general]  

that was apparently planned weeks in advance

2019-02-17 00:20:47 UTC [Subverse #general]  

I don't see it as win-win because like

2019-02-17 00:20:55 UTC [Subverse #general]  

unless they're an absolutely braindead shill

2019-02-17 00:21:04 UTC [Subverse #general]  

who would be on Smollet's side no matter what

2019-02-17 00:21:09 UTC [Subverse #general]  

any sane person is gonna side-eye that story

2019-02-17 00:22:54 UTC [Subverse #general]  

what's going to happen is just Smollet is going to say "I'm sick and I need help" and then go to rehab

2019-02-17 00:23:03 UTC [Subverse #general]  

but, I don't think anyone's going to trust him again

2019-02-17 00:23:14 UTC [Subverse #general]  

Smollet isn't a random like the other hate-crime hoaxes

2019-02-17 00:23:21 UTC [Subverse #general]  

he had national media attention and he's a public figure

2019-02-17 00:23:29 UTC [Subverse #general]  

he can't drop off the face of the earth like other culprits

2019-02-17 00:23:36 UTC [Subverse #general]  

our totally flat, two dimensional earth

2019-02-17 00:23:50 UTC [Subverse #general]  

which has defined edges that you can fall off of

2019-02-17 00:24:29 UTC [Subverse #general]  

what I think will really land him on hot water is that

2019-02-17 00:24:44 UTC [Subverse #general]  

he essentially snitched on the two Nigerian guys and tried to get them into hot water

2019-02-17 00:24:58 UTC [Subverse #general]  

fingering them as the culprits without mentioning it was a hoax

2019-02-17 00:26:37 UTC [Subverse #general]  

like, seriously, fuck Jussie though

2019-02-17 00:26:58 UTC [Subverse #general]  

he gets two immigrant dudes

2019-02-17 00:27:04 UTC [Subverse #general]  

gets them involved in some Zany Scheme

2019-02-17 00:27:18 UTC [Subverse #general]  

and then tries to leave them holding the MAGA hat or something, because they got busted by the cops

2019-02-17 00:27:30 UTC [Subverse #general]  

it's like an episode of Always Sunny IRL

2019-02-17 00:28:19 UTC [Subverse #general]  

@Dusty Morgan Part of it is just the trend towards advocacy journalism

2019-02-17 00:28:31 UTC [Subverse #general]  

that there is a right and wrong side in a story

2019-02-17 00:28:37 UTC [Subverse #general]  

and the journalist is advocating for right

2019-02-17 00:29:09 UTC [Subverse #general]  

@CasualSailor dude faked a hate crime

2019-02-17 00:29:18 UTC [Subverse #general]  

Like yeah, they maybe will try to drop the story

2019-02-17 00:29:22 UTC [Subverse #general]  

or not bring it up again

2019-02-17 00:29:31 UTC [Subverse #general]  

but there's no way in hell they're gonna be happy with Jussie

2019-02-17 00:30:30 UTC [Subverse #general]  

like, nobody was very happy with Shaun King either, when he claimed that a white dude gunned down that black kid

2019-02-17 00:30:50 UTC [Subverse #general]  

only, whoops, the guy had nothing to do with it and it was a different culprit

2019-02-17 00:31:57 UTC [Subverse #general]  

I don't know, it's just

2019-02-17 00:32:03 UTC [Subverse #general]  

It'll be a nightmare to spin

2019-02-17 00:32:14 UTC [Subverse #general]  

and they'll just try to hide the story or not bring it up again

2019-02-17 00:33:17 UTC [Subverse #general]  

@CasualSailor yeah probably but

2019-02-17 00:33:22 UTC [Subverse #general]  

hey at least Jussie is fucked

2019-02-17 00:33:43 UTC [Subverse #general]  

at least, he'll have to lay low for a while

2019-02-17 00:34:12 UTC [Subverse #general]  

before he's off to Betty Ford

2019-02-17 00:35:38 UTC [Subverse #general]  

look, this was obvs just Jussie

2019-02-17 00:35:43 UTC [Subverse #general]  

having a very specific fetish

2019-02-17 00:35:47 UTC [Subverse #general]  

that went WAY out of hand

2019-02-17 00:36:42 UTC [Subverse #general]  

I really can't blame the Nigerian dudes, I think lots of people would want to beat Jussie Smollet for low prices at this point

2019-02-17 00:37:08 UTC [Subverse #general]  

it still freaks me out when people claim, oh yeah, CNN is pro-Trump trash

2019-02-17 00:37:20 UTC [Subverse #general]  

because, people will claim that in response to this article

2019-02-17 00:37:28 UTC [Subverse #general]  

you're cool to me mang

2019-02-17 00:39:02 UTC [Subverse #general]  

also lol at Jussie hiring Michael Cohen's lawyer

2019-02-17 00:39:09 UTC [Subverse #general]  

because that worked out great for Cohen

2019-02-17 00:39:52 UTC [Subverse #general]  

there's a discord for everything

2019-02-17 00:41:37 UTC [Subverse #general]  

>ResetERA has turned on Jussie Smollet

2019-02-17 00:41:43 UTC [Subverse #general]  

see that's how you know he's fucked

2019-02-17 00:42:27 UTC [Subverse #general]  

dang

2019-02-17 00:42:35 UTC [Subverse #general]  

I think though that in this case

2019-02-17 00:42:43 UTC [Subverse #general]  

Smollet's celebrity status will work against him

2019-02-17 00:42:48 UTC [Subverse #general]  

people love celebrity scandals

2019-02-17 00:43:10 UTC [Subverse #general]  

maybe I'm just naive

2019-02-17 00:45:14 UTC [Subverse #general]  

either way, I'mma follow this story

2019-02-17 00:51:12 UTC [Subverse #general]  

the Russia conspiracy theory thing is

2019-02-17 00:51:16 UTC [Subverse #general]  

the weirdest thing for me

2019-02-17 00:51:37 UTC [Subverse #general]  

it's like when wild-eyed Neocons kept on telling us Benghazi would be the end of Obama

2019-02-17 00:51:45 UTC [Subverse #general]  

it's just bizarre conspiracy theory bullshit

2019-02-17 00:52:44 UTC [Subverse #general]  

David Pachter?

2019-02-17 00:55:23 UTC [Subverse #general]  

at least alternate media tries to

2019-02-17 00:55:35 UTC [Subverse #general]  

apply some skepticism to said articles

2019-02-17 00:58:07 UTC [Subverse #general]  

yeah like

2019-02-17 00:58:16 UTC [Subverse #general]  

the Buddhists in Myanmar are *really* militant

2019-02-17 00:59:07 UTC [Subverse #general]  

ooh

2019-02-17 01:03:58 UTC [Subverse #general]  

I was not :0
