That’s not what anyone official is saying. When you believe someone is guilty but don’t want to bother with a trial, that’s what plea deals are for. Prosecutors don’t just drop the charges of guilty people and if they did there would be a huge outcry from everyone, but especially the right.

The prosecutor who dropped the charges against Jussie Smollett said he still believes the actor lied to the police about the racist and homophobic attack he allegedly staged in Chicago in January.

Speaking of telegraphing a death:

Tammy Rose absolutely did not go out on the road. None of the teenagers did, either.

Ummm Mercedes is an actual girl’s name, not a car company invention. Daimler named the car after his daughter, iirc.

Curious: If Grace and Frankie is as popular as you guys say, and is as good a show as you guys say, why haven’t you guys reviewed it for the past few seasons? It’s one of my favorite shows, and it seems like a pretty glaring omission from your side.

I like that Joel McHale annoyed Michelle Visage, but he was legit heckling at some points. The whole “drunk bro that stumbled out of Wrigleyville and into Boystown” schtick was borderline offensive.

He was accused of assaulting women he slept with as well, but ok.

Pretty soon our knee-jerk PC culture is going to erase MLK, too.

Removing a positive product doesn’t unrape anyone.

The AV Club lost all credibility when it presented Smollett’s claims as fact

You’re gonna feel real stupid in a few days.

You need probable cause for a warrant. If you’re publicly calling him the victim, you can’t do that.

When he was an “alleged” victim, you all called him a “victim,” as if it were fact.

As a native Chicago, a gay man, a victim of hate crimes and a minority: I hope Jussie Smollet gets the worst punishment he can get. He’s a traitor.

No you’re pretty much the only one. The police are under a bigger microscope than he is.

First off, sex crimes is not what we’re talking about. Secondly, any study pre-Trump is invalid.

You don’t need to do “super deep research.” Just a few key facts that were widely circulated. Like what celebrity walks a mile during the polar vortex for a sandwich at night when food delivery is quick and cheap in the city?

Yeah well if you believed this story, you overestimated it.

OH ffs man up, guys. This isn’t a clusterfuck. It’s a betrayal. And you guys went along with his story way past it’s expiration date, tripling down on his alleged victimhood and deleting the concept of “alleged” early-on.
