Also, did someone not tell Emmanuel that using “whitewashed” was an extremely poor word choice?

It was 3 days after he told the police something happened that HE was the one charged with lies and fraud?

But with all 16 felony charges the “Empire” star was facing dropped and his record expunged, prayerfully this will be the last we hear about this.

How does that have anything with negligence in providing a loan?

Can’t rely on the private market to solve every problem my man. That is what government is for. 

Gaurunteed the shady fucking Chicago PD pulled some bullshit, Smollett’s attorney’s got wind of it and took it straight to the DA and stomped it in his face.  He backed down and now CPD is left holding their corrupt nuts.  FUCK EM.  

*cackles forever*

Oh absolutely it’s a recipe for disaster. And this has ramifications beyond adoption — some of the more powerful adoption agencies are also major forces behind the current pro-life movement. They get a big grassroots movement going against abortion, because it just sounds so awful, killing babies, when they could…

People seem to hate on Booker because he seems “out of touch” I guess? Because he’s got a super clean lifestyle, is a teetotaler, doesn’t have any obvious dirt on him politically and just seems genuinely nice. I personally think it’s not a terrible thing to be, as a politician. But it’s not that personally relatable…

I’m sure you’ll enjoy the new Gawker much more than Splinter once it launches.

The “You should really think about whether this is right for you” is a go-to response for 80% of the professors I’ve ever dealt with or known people who dealt with.

So this is what social conservatism looks like.

And sex workers can still be raped, even though they “knew what they were getting into.” The point is that he is entitled to consent or not, at literally any step of the process, even if his reasons are shitty.

Well she does appear to be a woman AND non-white, so that’s three strikes against her right there for most Republicans. 

I too would not want that festering mung’s lips on my face either, but I also wouldn’t work to elect him or support him in any way.

Except these aren’t kidnapping victims as you describe. These are (allegedly) women looking for legal domestic work in the U.S. who got tricked instead. Their passports confiscated and forced to give “massages”. That significantly bumps up the likely age range.

Are you even reading my posts? I didn’t blame the system for his actions. I said there are systems in place that confirm privileges onto certain groups, leaving those groups with reasons to deny the harm said systems confer onto others. They look for any means to justify the system and ignore the harm, Jussie is just…

He hasn’t made it easier, you claiming he’s made it easier is making them less accountable for their actions.  They are wrong, regardless of what Jussie has done.  Full stop.  You want to believe you can control them, if you just behavior perfectly and give them no excuse, no outlet.  That’s wrong.  That the impulse…
