City of Chicago to Sue Jussie Smollett After He Refuses to Pay Investigation Costs
(I hope there are penalties on top of that $130K.)

The plot thickens. Looks like he could be recharged. Also his legal team have responded to being sued claiming he is innocent and that if they proceed with the case against him they will seek the case files to be opened. Either they are bluffing or the police have something to hide too

Brothers Sue Jussie Smollett’s Lawyers, Saying Actor ‘Directed’ Staged Attack
Money quote:
“So, Mr. Smollett directed every aspect of the attack, including the location and the noose.”

Really good video here from youtube creators “Jim Can’t Swim.”
They ordinarily create videos evaluating psychology behind police interrogations of murder suspects, a topic I always find fascinating, so this one on Smolett is different, but no less fascinating.
One of the points it makes is reaction from men at the very beginning who refused to believe his story, if only because they know that two men ambushing & attacking a defenseless man and putting a noose around his neck would have done a farck of a lot more damage that leave a surface scratch on Jussie’s cheek. And that was before people saw the 24-inch pythons on the brother who purportedly attacked him (see above pic).
The vdeo is well worth watching, especially for the first several minutes that articulates something about his psychological motivation that nobody else in the media has.
(Note: If interested, check sooner rather than later. This “Jim Can’t Swim” crew routinely pull their videos after a month-or-so, for reasons I’ve never really understood.)
Watch...

That was brilliant.
I have long followed Jim Can't Swim, having a keen interest in police interrogation (I used to be a barrister) -

That is put together brilliantly.

That's beyond comical. Ties in so well with this article I read this morning that shreds intersectionality and makes reference to the Skillet debacle:
"Give Jussie Smollet credit, the son of a Polish-Jewish father and African-American mother. He took no chances when he set off intersectional megatonnage to ensure that he was a multifarious victim of white male, right-wing, MAGA-spouting, homophobic racist oppressors—and therefore deserved another season on “Empire”or else! That Smollet is still believed by millions is a testament to the insidious power of intersectionality.
After all, we are asked to believe that the actor at 2 a.m., in subzero temperatures, bumped into the lidless eyes of white Trumpist racist America. Indeed, we learned that he by chance encountered two patrolling MAGA-hatted, white burly males, who were curious watchers and fans of the black cult series, (“Aren’t you that f—-t ‘Empire’ n—-r?”) and on constant vigilance in the wee hours in African-American neighborhoods of progressive Chicago (“This is MAGA country!”), with lynch rope, bleach, and a barrage of obscenities for randomly targeted gay, black, left-wing, and famous victims—coincidentally just like Jussie Smollet.
And Smollet was no slouch. In he-man style, Smollet single-handedly beat back these white Trumpist demons, and he did so in apparent jiu-jitsu style while managing to keep his cell phone and Subway sandwich—and lynch rope around his neck. A sane person may conclude this is low farce—especially after two of his associates confessed that they were paid to play the role of MAGA thugs—but not so the industry of intersectionality. The hip woke magazine GQ immediately after the “assault” weighed in on Smollett’s “attack” in iconic fashion:
America’s choice to embrace the blind rage of late-stage whiteness in decline is an explicit longing for this kind of crime, a version of America in which those who do not assimilate to the satisfaction of their white, straight, and Christian betters are subject to the impunity of law enforcement, the scorn of the media and the fury of racist homophobes stalking the streets of your city, who want you to know that they could lynch you if they really wanted to, and maybe get away with it too.
...
The French Revolution devolved into an intersectional destruction derby of factions, each claiming the greater leftist frenzied fides. Serbs, Albanians, Montenegrins, Croatians, Slavs, and Macedonians ended up killing each other, in the fashion of Iraqi Shiites and Sunnis, on the premise that each faction had endured more historical grievances than the others and thus had a greater right to use their own tribalism to achieve political power and snuff out the others.The race to the bottom of victimhood logically ends in Smolletism, an absurd effort to invent as many oppressors as possible, all beaten down by one’s own singular bravery, prowess, and overarching victimhood.
In the end, the only logical survivor of intersectionality is the multifaceted Smollet-like victim, not just black, but black and gay, not just a homosexual African-American, but a hip and left-wing victim, and not just black, hip, gay, and leftwing, but a young woke activist courageously on the barricades, and not just all that but also master of martial arts put only in the service of the oppressed.

Rotten tomatoes is dogshit , it’s interesting that when Amy Schumer special got rated terribly they claimed it was 4chan trolls causing it . That may be true but the same sort of thing could equally be true of this rating .
Speaking of Schumer the brief period where she was funny was when Anthony Jeselnik was writing her jokes . Now her career is deservedly in the toilet along with Sarah Silvermans .
