Title: Will The Empire Actor Actually KEEP His Job?
Post by: rangerrebew on February 21, 2019, 03:15:06 pm: Will The Empire Actor Actually KEEP His Job?

This feels like a slap to the face. Remember Roseanne had her entire show taken away from her for just a tweet.

Fox Broadcasting Company, the network that airs the hit drama Empire, will keep actor Jussie Smollett on as a series regular in wake of reports he staged an attack on himself in Chicago last month, according to a TMZ report.

Now I see reports that heâ€™s been written out of the last two episodes of the season, so I donâ€™t know what to believe.

Either way, theyâ€™re not going to fire him.

I saw that too. And that he "apologized" to the cast, but still claims he's innocent. :shrug:

I truly hope they throw the book at this idiot.

This is not idiocy as much as being evil.

You can be both evil and an idiot.

Evil is far, far worse.

Why even compare the two?

Like saying you kill someone and also did not graduate from high school.

Yes, I agree with you.

Evil is the topic of conversation, not idiocy.

You do understand the difference, don't you?

Post by: catfish1957 on February 23, 2019, 04:47:19 pm: Just more living breathing proof of the double standard applied toward those on the left and right.

Another recent example? If the governor of VA would have been in the GOP, you think he'd still be there?

If you knew one single thing about me you'd never ask that question.

If you have read even two or three of my posts, you'd already know.

Find someone else to fight with. I'm not interested.

Quite deliberate, I assure you.

Ask real questions and you'll get all the answers you wish. Ask dumb ones and you'll get non answers.
