Jussie Smollett wins an Academy Award for best Morning Show Cry Scene!

Jussie Smollett has been nominated by the motion picture association for his best acting so far during a morning talk show and interview with Robin Roberts of Good Morning America.

The Academy Awards will be promoting Jussie as co-host and honorary lifetime member for his role in writing, directing, and editing his greatest work. Called:

“I went out for a Subway Tuna Salad foot long at 2:00 AM in nine-degrees and got beat up by the only two other people outside in Chicago that night yelling homophobic and racial slurs while disparaging the President of the United States.”



* Subway is filing a lawsuit for defamation since the attacker’s didn’t take Smollett’s sandwich.

** Clorox and Tabasco are filling lawsuits claiming their products were miss used under mandatory federal labeling standards.

*** The City of Chicago and Chicago Police are filing lawsuits to collect investigative fees and misspent man-hours to follow up on a national level false report.

**** The FBI declines to prosecute because they have enough problems right now dispelling rumors of the “Deep State” within the top levels of the Agency.

Roberts from GMA is co-hosting double interviews with Nathan Phillips and Jussie Smollett to promote a new book “Make America Believe Again”

Certainly not very original is he? I won't hold my breath waiting for his tearful apologies or excuses.

Were he to go "there" I don't think he would have a problem with dropping the soap there, hell he might just enjoy it. However I will be amazed if he is sent "there."

One can only hope he gets some serious jail time for this prank, but it seems few of these bogus hate crimes get little more than a slap on the wrist.

Expectation management

lets say for the sake of argument that this was a 100% planned, resourced, backstopped, and executed con-game.
So what?

There is a legion of national media types waiting to turn this joker into a folk hero for "starting a dialogue"
...he didn't "hurt" anyone - he just an "actor" and he was plying his trade - he was "acting"
...he used his celebrity to shine a light on "social injustice" and all that jazz

This poor guy is a victim.


Manage your expectations so you aren't too disappointed when he is exalted for his efforts - at best, try to be happy if he just fades away. Then, of course, there is always the possibility that some part of his story turns out to be true....

You know you are 100% correct. Smollet is a victim, he is a victim of the SJW’s declared war on Trump. The rabid 24-hour a day TDS from MSM is driving the weakest amongst us to self-immolate just to further the message.

When he has served his purpose he will be gone and forgotten by the MSM. If he should commit suicide as a result of this it will not be his fault but the fault of “white privileged, sis-gendered, heterosexual men” who are to blame. His friends and co-stars will exalt him to honorary status as what’s wrong with society and the hate that perpetuates this exclusion within our society.

Of course that’s all bullish!t because Jussie Smollet always had a choice to live a different life than the one he’s chosen. I feel nothing for him...he chose poorly. A victim of his own choices.

Victor Davis Hanson has captured the gist of the Smollett fiasco. I cut and paste only 1 of his 3 reactions. Complete article at link below.

Yes, ‘This Is America, 2019’
By Victor Davis Hanson| February 24th, 2019
American Greatness

There have been so far about three general reactions to the concocted Jussie Smollett psychodrama.

“Racism Against “Racists” Is Not Racism
Yet the third, most important, and most ignored reaction was that in some sense Smollett himself was a racist and had committed a hate crime.

His farce is yet another example that it is now largely permissible to slur and smear millions of purported Trump supporters, as either defined by their stereotyped race and gender or their red hats (with or without a logo). As pundits and talking heads nearly wept on screen in their worries about future potential hate crimes that might now not be taken seriously, they abjectly ignored the real hate crime that had just occurred. In truth, Smollett had done his best to ignite some sort of popular racially driven vendetta against conservative white male voters, previously known as “clingers,” “crazies,” “deplorables,” and “irredeemables” who, our elites warn, smell up Walmart, gross America out with toothless smiles, and should be swapped out for new immigrants.

Or as courageous Smollett described the motives for the faux-attack of his two Nigerian-American contractors, supposedly dressed up as Donald Trump’s white ogres, “I come really, really hard against 45”—that is, Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States—“I come really hard against his administration, and I don’t hold my tongue. I could only go off of their words. I mean, who says, “f—ot Empire n—er,” “This is MAGA country, n—er,” ties a noose around your neck, and pours [frozen?] bleach on you? And this is just a friendly fight? I will never be the man that this did not happen to. Everything is forever changed.”

In fact, no one says that, Jussie, and no one ever did say that except you who scripted the dialogue.

Given that the Smollett myth followed so closely after the Covington kids fiction, we can surmise that Smollett counted on two popular reactions: the left-wing public was still thirsty for more “proof” of MAGA white hatred, even if poorly scripted and logically implausible; and, second, Smollett was not much worried about any serious consequences if he should be caught once again in a made-up hate crime.

To paraphrase CNN anchorwoman Brooke Baldwin, who in careerist fashion immediately sought to gin up popular outrage over the Smollett “hate crime” attack: “This is America, 2019.”

Baldwin is right in her inference that we really are suffering from a national illness—and her own fact-free, careerist-driven editorializing and others like it are the proof.”
