On This Jussie Smollett Investigation

[Scout26]

Who would investigate the prosecutor; see if she took a bribe?  (if anybody actually cares about corruption in Chicago)  The FBI?  The state police?  Illinois Bureau of Investigation?

1.  Normally it's the Feds that nail the locals on bribery charges and the like.
2.  The State Police generally stick to issuing speeding tickets and harassing firearm owners. (They take their sweet ass time to issue FOID cards and LTC cards).
3. Their is no such thing as "Illinois Bureau of Investigation".   It would either be the State Police or the State's Attorney (either the County one or the Attorney General's Office).

I hope he does win.  And soon thereafter gets arrested/charged/convicted on federal terrorism charges.  (I don't have a lot of respect for the NAACP and would like to see them embarrass themselves.  I used to respect them; not sure when that changed)

Same here. I'm not sure when I lost respect for the NAACP, but I suspect this was a part of it.

Ole boy was a no-show, and he didn't get the award. Then Chris Rock weighed in.

I'm here, I'm just running late, because I was MUGGED, by 2 midget Japs, wearing NRA caps, yeah, that's the ticket!

She looked familiar, had to dig around to refresh my memory:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Dolezal

Completely apart from accusations of using fraudulent information at the university, etc, there was this:

Dolezal was charged by the State of Washington with felony theft by welfare fraud and second degree perjury in May 2018.[21][22] Prosecutors claim that she lied about her assets and was financially secure (with tens of thousands of dollars in donations and other revenue) at the time she was receiving welfare and claiming to be indigent.

............

According to the Spokane County prosecutors office, Dolezal could receive a sentence of up to 15 years in prison if found guilty and could be ordered to pay full monetary restitution for the assistance she received.[21][22][dead link][142][143] Dolezal has pleaded not guilty to the charges.[144]

Innocent until proven guilty, of course.

Dolezal changed her name to Nkechi Diallo in 2016.

Hey, that's my home town girl. I think the latest in the ongoing fraud saga is she is in negotiations to plead. They should just count here as black, the demographics (2% Black) are in desperate need of each and every black person in Spokane.

Does he have a dog?

[230RN]

A.  That's doag or dawg to you.

B.  I was thinking the other way, slinging mud cartoons, and that cartoon came up.  Agreed.  Looks racist after someone pointed it out.  

C.  Normally my sense of honor requires that I leave stuff in my posts when I screw up and don't edit my follies and foibles if nobody's quoted it or commented.  Not in this case.  Removing it.

D.  Sorry.

I hate zoos, but "had to" take family to the one down in Colorado Springs.  Family packed up close to the elephant cages. With my experience from horses I recognized the spread back legs, shift weight a little from side to side, and pee behavior pattern. One lady elephant backed up to the bars and did this.

Grabbed kids and Wife1 and I hauled ass away from the front row, and got far enough back when the elephant let go with this fire-hose of a stream, and back-splashed all the people who were standing close.

Accompanying screams and "eewwwwws !"

You can't tell me animals can't think.  They just don't use words and you can't tell when they're laughing.

Does he have a dog?

Tangential subject: is there a scale of racism vs. dog breeds?  Is owning a Chihuahua less racist than owning a German Shepherd?  Are Siberian Huskies evidence of Russian collusion?

"Defendant contemplates filing an action against the City of Chicago and/or its agents for their conduct underlying the arrest and their conduct thereafter including constitutional claims and state law claims. Defendant reserves the right to bring such claims at the appropriate time provided by law," Smollett's attorneys wrote.
