Quote :
"March: Campbell takes SAT for first time, scores 900.

October: Campbell retakes SAT, scores 1230.

Late 2018: ETS letter tells Campbell her latest score is being withheld and investigated over signs her answers were too aligned with an unspecified number of other test takers.

January 1: Attorney Ben Crump sends ETS a letter demanding the score be validated in two weeks.

January 2: Campbell holds a news conference, asserts she improved her score through intense preparation, and denies cheating.

January 4: Campbell reiterates her stance to CNN's "New Day," and Crump says he needs to see the test administrators' evidence.

January 4: College Board says a packet with initial evidence has been sent to Campbell.

January 5 - February 6: Neither side publicly comments further.

February 7: Lawyers announce Campbell is dropping her fight to validate her score, and Crump says he's no longer pursuing claims on her behalf.

It's usually a bad sign when a lawyer drops a client, right?

That is interesting. I remember hearing about it. But seriously, how do you cheat on the SAT?

I have no idea what's this is about when I saw an interview of him in the lunch room at work. The interview was weird to me. I wanted to say something but afraid of being accused of racist or homophobic.

The real question is who convinced Smollett to orchestrate it. Kamala Harris and Cory Booker were all over top of it with legislature immediately afterwards. Were they just being opportunistic, or were they tipped off in advance?

So the asshole is still claiming that he was attacked... WTF???

And what in the fucking fuck is this:

Jussie Smollett Testified He Did Drugs and Masturbated With His Attacker
https://www.vice.com/en/article/g5qvpm/jussie-smollett-testifies-did-drugs-masturbated-with-attacker



Dude made out with both of them, and was seen with them a few days before the 'attack' but is still claiming to have been 'attacked'.

And as much as I despise Tucker, I agree with some of what he says in this video:

Tucker: How did anyone fall for this hoax?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZC7Y_fPiWw

I had never looked into this case before. I don't agree with Tucker when he says "how could they fall for it"? Hindsight is great, but how are you supposed to know at the instant when someone is claiming to have been attacked? The instinct is to support the person, and so would I, unless there are big holes in their story, which I wouldn't know but Tucker thinks there were. Anyway, he does make some valid points in his diatribe about the attitude of Democrats at the time with regards to this.

^Stop watching FOX News, and especially stop watching Tucker Carlson. There's really no valid excuse.

Anyone with a functioning brain knew this was a hoax.

2:00 am in a polar vortex storm -16 Degrees
MAGA hats just randomly pop out in Chicago
He somehow fights off being jumped by 2 attackers that somehow managed to get a noose around his neck with minimal injuries and bleach thrown on his clothes.
As they run away they shout this is MAGA country

Nothing about this added up first if it was a true hate crime he would have been killed or in the hospital severely injured as the types of people that he was accusing doing this wouldn't have cared about the felony charges.

^ I just started looking into this case in detail a few days ago, and I agree with your assessment.

*************

BLM official statement by founder day before the verdict:

Quote :
"“As abolitionists, we approach situations of injustice with love and align ourselves with our community. In an abolitionist society, this trial would not be taking place, and our communities would not have to fight and suffer to prove our worth. In our commitment to abolition, we can never believe police, especially the Chicago Police Department over Jussie Smollett, a Black man who has been courageously present, visible, and vocal in the struggle for Black freedom.”"



Translation: Fuck the evidence and the truth... stand with people on racial lines regardless of the truth and whatever wrong they might have done.


Well OK then....

Wait, 2 years ago Dave Chappelle completely trashed Smollett's account? Was Dave excoriated for being the lone dissenting voice in the black community?

The word excoriated should be used more often.
