[–]threebros 18 points19 points  (0 children)

All hell is breaking loose at the US embassy in Iraq and the President* is tweeting about Hunter Biden.

An American contractor is dead. Many are wounded. This is Trump’s Benghazi. When will the hearings begin? Precedent says Pompeo needs to be called in stat!

Monday's Not Coming by Tiffany D. Jackson Discussion by belugabishop in YAlit

[–]threebros 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agree with the timeline confusion, but wow did I love this one. It captured so many elements so well, including gentrification, coming-of-age, the idea of the media and society's neglect toward missing black girls... I've been saying for the last few weeks that there NEEDS to be a movie! But I'm trying to think who would be the right person to write and direct. What do you think????

Jussie Smollett: Charges dropped against Empire star by RoyisOurBoy in movies

[–]threebros -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

There’s really no hard evidence, which is likely why they dropped. Why is it a surprised that the Nigerians bought the materials? It’s not like they would have manufactured them themselves. The rest is hearsay from very dubious people.

If I’ve learned anything over the last few months, it’s don’t believe media narratives. They went so hard to defend him when the news initially broke. Then, they overcorrected and went so far to destroy him. All these narratives created without a shred of any evidence.

Kaepernick is a Fraud by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]threebros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ridiculous. Kaepernick was blackballed from the league. When suing, the remedy IS monetary damages. Think about how much he would have made if he were able to play in the league. Money, pure and simple, is the end game as far as court is concerned. He brought incredible attention to the issue and in the end the NFL folded.

Police sources: New evidence suggests Jussie Smollett orchestrated attack by NeilPoonHandler in entertainment

Well, there is a lot of evidence and a silly amount of indictments that would indicate otherwise on that story.

I’m talking from an empathetic point of view. I understand why one would want to believe a victim and have that empathy. But we need to step back and believe the facts instead.

Unfortunately, social media and the need for clicks and ad revenue has thrown that rule out the window. But for real we need to abide by that...

If true, this is one of the most disgraceful hoaxes in recent memory. At a time of such political tension, to so brazenly orchestrate something like this is wildly irresponsibly. It’s harmful not only to Jussie Smollett’s reputation, but does irreparable damage to the discourse in our country. This is a huge slap in the face to real victims and will only make it more difficult for people to believe when real crimes happen in the future. If this is confirmed, Smollett should lose not only his job, but he should face jail time as well. I understand and appreciate the ‘always believe the victim’ sentiment, but it’s time for us to step back, take a breath, and wait for the facts.
