I haven't claimed anything except that the whole story is shaky and unsupported. My best understanding is the only charges filed was unarmed carjacking against a 15 year old male and a 15 year old female. I find it a bit curious about the absence of any sort of assault charges. It's kind of like the dog that didn't bark in the night. Why not? I literally do not care about anybody who is involved in either of the two cases or what happens to them. I think there's some strangeness surrounding both and this is a particularly insidious and dangerous one.

It does amuse me to no end that the skeptic you proclaim yourself to be is wallowing in this kind of pig slop.

Here was his post.

"I didn't care much about it when it happened and don't now but I'd have liked to have seen the same scrutiny turned on the Big Balls assault case that got DC invaded. I thought both cases involved a lot of drama and overreaction."

What same scrutiny do you think he was referring to? Because Jussie's claim initially didn't get very much scrutiny when people thought some white maga's were beating him up and politicians were decrying the white supremacists running wild at 3am in Chicago. Then it received a lot of scrutiny when people thought the story was caca.

So do you think he does believe this kid got beat up and wants no scrutiny or do you think he believes it was made up and wants lots of scrutiny? I believe he didn't think it happened largely the way it has been reported and said he wanted Jussie level scrutiny to pick apart the story but now that he has been made fun of and googled a bit, he now thinks it largely happened but thinks its okay because a 20 year old person he doesn't like shouldn't have been outside at 3am trying to go home with his date to get laid.

If it were up to me, yes, Trump would be blacklisted from every government role that exists.

Yes, I'd hope that hollywood would blacklist Jussie until he admits he lied.

Just out of curiosity. in an ideal world, would the standards for honesty and integrity for an actor have the same priority that they would for a politician? One could make the case that ,in their professional roles, those have nothing to do with how an actor does as a performer.

Iow, in a trade where deception and artifice is so highly valued, why would real life histrionics lead to blacklisting? Publicity stunts are as old as acting.

Politicians make a career out of word games that often border on lying. Unfortunately, people seem to have generally come to accept that as the norm.

I don't know what the equation is to calculate influence vs tolerance for dishonesty.

So, your good with a person losing a job or potential ability to earn money because they will not admit that you think they are lying?

Why should he care if you believe him?

No, people now accept flat out lies.

That's all trump did, lie, lie, lie....

Now all of the idiots who were waiting for grocery prices to fall understand that they need to feel a little pain before it gets better.

Yes, politics often blurred the lines, but I don't recall any politician that every sentence he spoke was a lie.

If Trump wasn't shot in the ear, and blood subsequently ran down his face, what do you believe actually happened?

I never said I didn't believe that blood ran down his face or that there was a gun shot.

Interesting how it healed with no sign of it ever happening. Interesting how little we heard about the shooter or the guy killed.

I've read those that believe it was staged. I wouldn't put it past trump to stage it but then there's the fact that three people cant keep a secret unless two of them are dead and Occam's razor.

How would it be staged? Was the fireman sitting behind Trump in on the plan?
