The Morning Rant

talking ape.jpg
"With Jussie Smollett's story of being mugged by MAGA racists falling apart faster than whatever's left of Bill Kristol's mind, the usual MSM outlets are new hilariously trying to walk back all of their crap reporting by trying to deflect the discussion to 'the larger picture' or 'the overall context', which, when translated into normal speech, means, 'screw the facts, Trump is still to blame.' It's like they pulled out their own version of the Otter Defense and are now triumphantly marching out of the room in single file, with their noses pointed piously skyward. Bunch of sanctimonious bastards. I just can't wait until Nick Sandmann's lawsuit hits the fan. I want to see these media hacks writhing in pain as they are forced to deliver on-the-air apologies, or their employers are forced to settle for huge sums of money."

22 I get willowed so much, we might as well call it being YD'd.

At least this is topical:

Smollett's attorney has released a statement, including the following:

"As a victim of a hate crime who has cooperated with the police investigation, Jussie Smollett is angered and devastated by recent reports that the perpetrators are individuals he is familiar with."

Jussie has to be one of the biggest dickheads in a country full of them.

It's bad enough to say "Hey, you hungry foreigners trying to make it in Hollywood, I have the key to your success - just do this thing for me. Super easy, barely an inconvenience," so you can convince them to fake a hate crime.

But when you get caught for it, to throw them so thoroughly under the bus like that is just low.

All Hate Crimes are Fake until proven otherwise.

in which case it's likely true.*

(The best part was driving a red Dodge Ram with R2-D2 welded onto the back as we drove our way back to the crashed spaceship.)

49 From previous thread.
"Answer as to why the attack wasn't on the security cameras, from police

sources - Jussie *wanted* it to be on camera, he had identified a

security camera and had the attack carried out close to it. But he

didn't realize that it was actually facing the other way, so they were

all standing *behind* the camera when they did it."

If this is true, I can just see the look on Jussie's face when the police reported that they could see all his movements except for 60 seconds and saw no attack.

Trump and us deplorables are lucky having the enemies we do. But then the Left grew them for us by putting ideological purity over all other values when choosing who they'd raise up to prominence for the masses.

FNM in Denver has done some of them. Early in 2017 - Young black woman going to Med school getting lots of hate in her apartment complex. Media did not mention it and I'm not expert but I think she was in an hispanic neighborhood. Pissed me off that the media played it as though it was probably Trump voters being mean to her, even though I know its how they roll.

That's why you put the bacon on top and protect the Tomato with lettuce. The lettuce won't warm too bad, as long as the bacon isn't sizzling when you put it on. Mop the fat grease off with a paper towel prior to placing it on the sandwich and you're golden.

Of course, you start adding too much, chile, bacon, onion, pretty soon it gets hard to dip in the tomato soup.

Look at how the Democrats pounced on this. Yes, seized and pounced!!

Specifically, Kamala Harris pulled together anti-lynching legislation awfully fast. Smollett has attended Kamala events, and has been pictured arm and arm with other CA Democrats like Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi, and even the Obamas.

Imagine if, say, any of the Charlottesville protesters were pictured with many prominent Republicans including Trump.

This kind of thing is really, really irresponsible from an attorney. He's actively making matters worse for his client and possibly even violating his professional ethics, which can get you disbarred."

Not unless the client files a complaint, and he's almost certainly doing exactly what his client is asking him to do. You can never get in trouble for faithfully following the clients directions, even if they do lead to him cutting his own throat.

Defense attorneys know that the best, most lucrative clients of all are always those who have a lot of money and yet are incredibly stupid, constantly doing self destructive things.

177 I could understand hard core idealogues on the left hearing Jussie's story and saying "don't care if it's true, this is a great cudgel to beat our enemies over the head with, lets ride this horse hard!" Self defeating in the long run because it was a very weak horse, but at least I can understand that level of mendacity.

What I cannot understand is anyone who was actually stupid enough to believe Smollett's story as it was first told. The idiocy of it jumped out at the very first reading. I'm starting to think that most of the media actually believed it - they really are that dumb.

179 89 As a victim of a hate crime who has cooperated with the police investigation, Jussie Smollett is angered and devastated by recent reports that the perpetrators are individuals he is familiar with.

This kind of thing is really, really irresponsible from an attorney. He's actively making matters worse for his client and possibly even violating his professional ethics, which can get you disbarred.

Caveat. If his lawyer participating in the fraud, knowingly, doesn't matter if its a pleading or not, lawyer can't do it. If it is a continuing crime which it appears to be, apparently, then a lawyer should withdraw as soon as he knows of it. (You can represent someone for past crimes, but your job isn't to facilitate the commission of current ones.) If the crime is continuing and also is likely to result in future bodily harm, lawyer would probably have to disclose client secrets, to prevent harm. Or face sanctions.

I'm not a criminal lawyer, but there are rules. I'm just not sure what this guy's lawyer knows, or what he was taught. Also, some lawyers shouldn't be lawyers because, sociopath, C.F. former would be presidential candidate, now living in a van down by the river.

You know why: these are the same people who openly hate whites, and heterosexual white men in particular.

For example: Sarah Jeong has made hundreds of tweets mocking and expressing hatred toward whites, white men, white women, old white men, etc.. She hears a story that perfectly conforms to her belief that white heterosexual men ---who are freakin' MAGA hat wearing Trumpies! --- did something that demonstrates just how awful she's always thought they are. There are many Jeongs out there in today's media (see Nick Monroe's exhaustive deep dive into Buzzfeed, HuffPost, and others' 'I hate white ppl' tweets).

The question is: what would it take for them to not believe it?

"Compartmentalizing" such ops is necessary though, or as we see with Trump/Russia, the thing can unravel and everyone it touches gets exposed. I don't know, we need more leaks from WikiLeaks and their sources. Without them, how much would we know at this point?


And would Hilda be prezzie, if some of her clan's emails had not been exposed? They only denied where the emails came from (Russia they said, but probably dead Seth) ... they did not deny the truth in the emails, which exposed criminal activity ... which is still being covered up by our FBI.

223 What it takes to get disbarred - most every lawyer gets a monthly magazine from his State Bar (that's where those dues go!) and most of them have in the back a list of disciplinary proceedings and disbarments. Most of them go like this:

"Slick Williams, Estate Lawyer, was investigated for having taken large sums from the Estate's accounts and depositing them into his own checking account without reporting having done so. Since this was the 6th client of his who had complained to us of him doing the exact same thing over the last 5 years, the State Bar took the hard action of disbarring him. He can seek readmittance in 5 years."

282 Caveat. If his lawyer participating in the fraud, knowingly, doesn't matter if its a pleading or not, lawyer can't do it. If it is a continuing crime which it appears to be, apparently, then a lawyer should withdraw as soon as he knows of it. (You can represent someone for past crimes, but your job isn't to facilitate the commission of current ones.) If the crime is continuing and also is likely to result in future bodily harm, lawyer would probably have to disclose client secrets, to prevent harm. Or face sanctions. "

High dollar lawyers who know they have lucrative but sketchy clients will routinely instruct those clients to ONLY answer the questions they ask them directly, even in private, and to NEVER tell them "everything" they know. And that lawyer will phrase his questions to his client very carefully, even in private, to make sure that he never "finds out" anything that could expose him to sanctions. I took a legal ethics class once that explained this very carefully, as a way to guarantee you never broke the rules. It is never against the rules to not find out something, because a lawyer is not an investigator, just an advocate.

A smart client would realize immediately that a lawyer who does that is setting up his client so that he can be jettisoned quickly and easily if the situation goes bad, while still owing lots of fees - which is why a lot of lawyers love to work with really stupid (but rich) clients.

After all, most violent crime in Portland is committed by white right-wing males."

And funny how these "attacks" never take place in a city where the Evil Maga Supporters are in a clear majority and the Innocent Gay Victims are a suffering minority; instead they ALWAYS happen in cities where the Maga supporters are so few as to be non-existent, whereas the "oppressed minority" is actually the Dominant Majority.

324 To even buy into the "real hate crime" vs "fake hate crime" distinction is to play on their (totalitarian) turf.

The whole concept consciously degrades the difference between thought/speech and action, i.e. your thoughts are violence and their violence is speech. It also, inevitably, places "preferred" victim groups over other groups, and perversely only serves to stoke excessive identity politics over all other values.

The entire concept is at odds with the nature of true tolerance (I can like or dislike anyone, so long as I don't actually infringe their rights or do violence to them) and enshrines Thoughtcrime.

One of the things I've noticed about the whole ISIS clusterfuck is that the amount of devastation there, coupled with the media's ass-covering for Jugears, means that a lot of shit that went on isn't going to be remembered.
How the fuck a group can start lining highways with crucified prisoners, or sell thousands of women and girls into slavery, and not have that be a worldwide headline is just appalling.

The interviewer asked her about Morgan Freeman's assertion that there shouldn't even be a Black History Month and she replied that he's just an OLD black person and should be ignored.

332 61 regarding the "threatening letter" sent to Jussie before the attack (and it's obvious now, that was the biggest "tell" from the start that this was an orchestrated hoax) police sources have revealed that it also had the ominous "white powder" in it. But, it was tested and found to simply be some crushed aspirin. Ooh!!! Scary!!!

---------

That was his extra-special most bestest move. The fake beat-down would only make him face local charges for filing a false police report. But by sending that through the US Mail, he would be setting himself up for federal charges. You think the FBI agents on the case asked him any questions about the letter? Gee, I hope he answered them truthfully.

354 Hey Morons, Barack Obama here. I see a lot of confusion in here about the JV team ISIS. These young muslim men, any of whom could have been my own son, have suffered oppression from the Western world for several generations and should not be condemned for expressing their universal human rights by raping young girls and nailing headless corpses to cross along the highway. These types of calls for understanding from one of the great peaceful religions of the world deserve to be heard. We reject calls to continue the oppression of these noble youths. The arc of history is with us, as we continue to hope the world will change and enter the loving peaceful arms of intersectionality feminist theory. We shall persist, unless the Jews stop us.

Supposedly McCabe said it was Kelly and Sessions. BUT I think you have to take this more as a measure of McCabe's willingness to lie than anything else. The whole 25th amendment issue was so idiotic - even a quick reading of the actual amendment shows that it is actually HARDER than impeachment, and that it has to be led by the Vice President. McCabe is a moron for having ever seriously considered it; but maybe he thought as an excuse for a coup, he could make it work.

The outspoken civil rights leader addressed recent reports that the alleged assault on the black, openly gay "Empire" actor may have been staged with two bodybuilding brothers, Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundairo.

"I, among many others when hearing of the report, said that the reports were horrific and that we should come with all that we can come with in law enforcement to find out what happened and the guilty should suffer the maximum," Sharpton said Sunday night on his show "PoliticsNation" on MSNBC.

"I still maintain that," he continued.
