Powell should ratchet up interest rates to 10% at the next FOMC meeting and start a recession just for the Trump lols

Some here would like that.

I would be willing to pay some amount of money, and hence willing to forego some amount of economic growth, for Trump to be gone.  I would be willing to pay more if Trump were gone and his supporters realized the error of their ways.

Aaaaaand Jussie is now a suspect. The #justiceforjussie hash tag has a whole new meaning now.


I can see that this is very important to you.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

It's a funny story.

Ditto. Double my taxes and I'd be happy.

To be fair it's an interesting story.

Not at all important in the grand scheme of things, but still interesting.

I look forward to the Netflix documentary about it in 10 years.

Eh, dudes a POS. He should be kicked off his show and his career should be over for gay bashing.

I had to look that one up :D

I will admit to having been borderline-obsessed with this story. When it broke, it was so full of holes and the details were so far-fetched-- yet you had many people, particularly celebrities and politicians, seize upon it for political gain.  AOC lashed out at any news outlet that dared call it an alleged attack.  Kamala Harris & Cory Booker called it a lynching and used the incident to promote an anti-lynching bill.  Ellen Page went on Colbert's show and blamed Pence (!) for the attack, to roaring applause.  And so on and so on. 

People who dared question any of the details were branded homophobes, racists, or worse yet-- Trump Supporters.  Now unfortunately some of that group are now themselves overplaying their hand and spiking the football. 

And Smollett himself has sort of fascinated me throughout the whole thing.  He goes on tour right after the incident, eats up all this new attention, and proclaims himself Gay Tupac.  When things begin to unravel with the story, he goes on Good Morning America for a softball interview and doubles down on the lie.  He may not be particularly smart, but he's a good enough actor to fool people.

Anyway, Smollett has been arrested.  I'm sure there's more drama to unfold but my interest is now fading a little.  So I'm less desperate to discuss this than I was a few days ago :)

Fake victimization for publicity aside what really makes Smollett a piece of shit is that when the cops said they found suspects he said he would testify against them. This was before he found out the suspects where the two brothers he paid off. Dude was going to testify against two innocent people to keep the charade going.

All the shit Trump and his supporters do and say have been made okay by this one crazy black guy's fake crime. :)
