There is plenty in the “Green New Deal” to bash or at least question (such as lack of plan to implement over time and the “job creation” piece), but the main part about the climate change isn’t one of those things. All she had to say is that while she hears their voices on climate change, the bill is more complicated…

I know.  I realized after the fact.  Didn't have my troll glasses on.

That’s a whole other discussion since the media should be blamed for a lot of how news is covered in 2019. But people on twitter yelling about this weren’t the media. They were going to react one way or the other.

It’s because we care more about celebrities than actual news stories. Plus this was a major news story when it was considered a legitimate attack.  Also most of the major news networks covered that story this morning, they just opened with Smollett’s first.

Ah now I see the trolling.  You had me going for a minute there.  Keep up the solid troll job.  One of the better ones around here lol

Jim Brown did great work during the civil rights movement in the 60s. He also beat the hell out of his wives.

You’re giving him way too much credit if you think that was his line of thought in doing this. Are you on his defense team?You should be since he'll need a good one to get out of this.  

No apologies needed.  This case struck a chord for a lot of people so there is a lot of defending going on even if/when we agree.  Just hoping if any good comes out of it, it's that we can talk about these topics like adults, which I believe we have!

I think there is a huge difference between believing victims and turning something into a total witch hunt. The second the news came out, everyone jumped up and started making a political scene and blaming every Trump supporter and used it as an opportunity to continue to push a narrative. And while that narrative…

The take away from this shouldn’t be that we shouldn’t believe victims. We 100% should especially because there are exponentially more actual cases than false cases.

Lol this comment might take the cake. How is this being brave when he’s fucking over loads of people that are victims of hate crimes? He’s making matters worse, not shining a light on them. He needs to go away for all the damage he’s done.

Nah because that would mean we’ve reached actual equality. Where no matter your race, you can make these things go away as long as you have money.

Why the hell would CPD do something shady in this case? They weren’t involved outside of investigating.

Can we stop with the Chicago PD conspiracies? Yes they’ve lied a million times in the past and will continue to lie a million times in the future. But they only lie when it protects their own ass for shit their racist ass cops have done. This had nothing to do with one of their officers. It was Smollett vs these two…

The story being presented is that he was mad that nobody was taking those threats seriously enough (even though the FBI was investigating) so he did this to show them that it's their fault they didn't find anything yet.

Apologies but it sounded like you were discrediting it.  Lot of others here doing that so I was wrong to assume you were doing the same.

Guess we’re back to moving goalposts here but so be it. I’ll be patiently waiting to hear what comes out of this because at the current moment, it’s not a good look and a lot of people feel betrayed. Nothing wrong with you feeling differently, just asking that we at least get the facts that are out there correct,…

That’s fair.  But unfortunately in the world of social media, that small group comes to represent “us”.

He's the same guy that thinks Cosby is innocent.  So no need to discuss.  Some people want to plant their feet and defend even when it hurts our community.
