While I (shockingly) agreed with Rahm Emanuels take for the most part, I couldn't help but notice the esl grammatical mistake "How dare HIM". I'm guessing there isn't a distinction in Hebrew.

If two or more people assault someone based on membership in a protected class (i.e., race, sexuality, religion, etc.), then it's a federal crime with a 10-year minimum sentence, even if the victim wasn't seriously damaged. Also, intent based on protected status of the victim is presumed, and doesn't require proof.

Before, that was at most a state-level crime, and only in some states.

The same state’s Attorneys office that released Smollett is responsible for the death of an off duty Chicago cop over the weekend. Basically the shooter is a guy who was arrested while going through the selection process to become a Chicago cop. He was arrested for an armed home invasion. A crime for which he only received 30 months probation.

Taking it a step further, earlier in the evening, the shooter and his buddies got into an altercation with some Latinos. Apparently this altercation didn’t go as planned so they went out specifically looking for any Latino males. They even went so far as to ask a homeless guy if he had seen any. When their paths crossed with this off duty cop they found their Latino and they shot him. No hate crime charges seem to have been filed even though they clearly targeted this guy on the basis of race.

This is what happens when George soros gets involved in your local politics.

I got this 'breaking news' from the BBC this morning.

First thoughts?

"Blackwash".

They are just testing to see what they can get away with and how far they can push us.

This faggot is just a test case.

And we are all his subjects.

How enraged we get. How far we are prepared to take matters in to how our hands.

A litmus.

As a person with no colour (being white) I object to the word "Whitewash", so ima gonna reappropriate it.

I doubt "Blackwash" will ever catch on and become common vernacular.

If it's ever going to, this will be yer man!

But this is how it ends.

With a whimper, not a bang.


It would be funny if anyone did call this a "Whitewash" though, wouldn't it?

You know...

Guys talking about him getting a pass because he's black or gay are missing the mark.

Some random no-name black faggot who pulled this shit and ended up costing the cops thousands of man-hours would go away for the maximum stint.

This is entirely about elite liberal corruption and having one set of rules for the peasants and another for the modern day political gentry. I sincerely hope there's a shitload of black guys wondering "where were these motherfuckers when I went away for having a dime-bag of weed?!"

I know a lot of people who have gone to jail. They will throw you in jail for far less than this (as I'm sure you are all aware.) Dime bag of weed in non-legal states - jail. Steal $20 of shit from a store - jail. etc

Here's a personal example:
I was on probation for 6 months in my late teens (18, 19, maybe 20 I forget) for having a can of beer in my pocket while jaywalking. As in, I fuck up somehow, such as missing my mandatory AA meetings, I would have gone to jail.

I thought this was linked to Kamala Harris from the start and literally every twist just reinforces that belief.

I hear Mueller has a lot of free time and people under him to run investigations...

Jussie meets with Kamala Harris 1 week before the 'symbolic-piece-of-string-lynching'.

1 week later it goes down and Kamala is tweeting thats why we need my new improved anti-lynching bill!!

Cory Booker - "yeeeaaahhhh!!"

Media - "he was unhappy with his pay.."

FUCK. OFF.


Supposedly there was a shit ton more detail to come out on the case.

But then the Obamas get involved. Case dropped.

On Fox News it was said that initially his community service was announced to have been his good works as an upstanding teenaged citizen.
Only later was his recent volunteering at Jesse Jacksons NGO (made up) 'discovered'.

Yes corruption, but very specific #HeelsUpHarris O-No!-This-is-Career-Ending! Corruption.

I see a lot of people, both on here and nationally-known media figures, saying "Wait, Chicago politics is really like the stereotypes? Those aren't just jokes?"

Yes. This is all real. Everything you've ever heard, no matter how cartoonish, is probably true. We're not just talking high-roller backroom deals but handoffs of suitcases full of cash and drugs between small players, no-show jobs for people's cousins, invoicing and contracting scams, elected officials shaking down their own staff for cash at Christmas, people committing suicide when their buddies get collared by the Feds. Anybody who has spent time around it could do a "Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories"-type sketch comedy bit and never run out of material.

I'd wager this will turn out to be part of some truly bizarre and personal feud, far less obvious than what we know now. The CPD already hated Kimm Foxx before all this happened, Tchen has personal ties to Emmanuel, and David Axelrod is crying crocodile tears on social media. Somebody's going to get politically necked shortly to try to make it look good and quietly shuffled off to an obscure state job so their pension works out.

With that said, these people have a long history of overreaching with their 4-D Chess machinations and imploding in very dramatic, public, and hilarious ways. (Former Illinois governor Otto Kerner was finally arrested after a casino owner tried to deduct bribes as an "ordinary business expense" on her tax return.) They may have underestimated how much people care about this story and how bad they'll look, especially to African-Americans who were trusting an African-American state's attorney and an African-American police chief to be effective. Ordinary Chicago working people trust the crooked machine to get business done and keep the city running. Coming alongside the Mueller report - overwhelmingly disappointing to left-leaning Chicago voters - faith in "the system" at large to handle business will be at historic lows.

A Look At The 'Dark Money' Behind Kim Foxx's States Attorney Campaign

Quote:In the highly contentious Cook County State's Attorney race, each candidate has their funding bases. Incumbent Anita Alvarez has Chicago's "old-boy power support" behind her, according to the Better Government Association—City Council's most powerful alderman, Ed Burke; Illinois's last true political boss, Michael Madigan; various associates of former Mayor Richard M. Daley. (She's also accepted over $25,000 from at least 60 of her employees.) Donna More is largely self-funding her campaign, as well as tapping into the Republican donor network. And Kim Foxx is working her political patron Toni Preckwinkle's connections; many of the largest donations to her campaign fund are from unions.

But Kim Foxx has also found two other sources of cash, in the form of twin $300,000 donations to a Super PAC supporting her called Illinois Safety & Justice. The sole donors to the PAC are neoliberal superdonor and conservative-boogeyman George Soros and a "dark-money" group called Civic Participation Action Fund. A Super PAC is a fundraising group, created by the 2010 Supreme Court Citizens United decision, that can raise as much money as they want for any candidate or cause—as long as they don't coordinate on any level with political campaigns, which have much smaller campaign limits.

Soros is a notorious liberal donor—he dropped $20 million on the 2004 election, and recently donated $8 million to a leading pro-Hillary Super PAC, as well as put up $5 million to increase Latino voter turnout. But according to Illinois Sunshine, a database of State Election Board filings maintained by the Illinois Campaign for Political Reform, this marks the first time Soros has entered into a political race in Illinois—ever. (Though he has been intervening in local District/State's Attorney's races with increasing regularity, donating over $400,000 in a Caddo Parish, Louisiana, nearly the same amount in Mississippi last year alone.)

Soros's presence in this race "really speaks to fact that Super PACs have become very influential in Illinois races, especially this cycle," according to Sarah Brune, the executive director of the Illinois Campaign for Political Reform. A request for comment to Soros's Open Society Foundations went unreturned by press time.

The sole other donor to Foxx's Super PAC is the Civic Participation Action Fund, which, like Soros, has never made a donation in an Illinois race before. CPAF is a 501©(4), a special kind of nonprofit organization that at once doesn't have to disclose its donors and can conduct political activity. They are frequently referred to by campaign finance reform advocates as "dark money," since it is usually unknown where the actual funding comes from. The 2010 Citizens United decision set off a spark of 501©(4) donations nationwide, and they are a key component of Governor Bruce Rauner's stated plot to take away the Democratic supermajorities in the Illinois General Assembly.

Dark money is "certainly something that's become much more pervasive," said Brune. "[Dark money groups] can be even more frustrating than the Super PAC because you're not able to access information on the donors.… It's not something that we enjoy seeing. It's just really troubling to voters when they can't see who is donating to their candidates. Not all donations are a bad thing, but if someone's going to contribute to a candidate for public office, they should understand that they're attempting to influence the outcome of a race for public office, so their contributions are gonna be made public."

Civic Participation Action Fund, according to its website, is a five-year project dedicated to advancing "racial equity, economic opportunity, and civic engagement" and will cease grant-making this year. On its website, it also states that it doesn't fund anything "overtly partisan" (maybe since everyone in the race is a Democrat, a State's Attorney's race doesn't count), anything that involves "institutional or core support for organizations," which is pleasantly meaningless (and also, what is the State's Attorney's office if not an organization?). In an op-ed published by the Chronicle of Philanthropy, the Fund's director, Steve McConnell, said that being organized as a "dark money" group allows the fund to "support a much wider range of advocacy and electoral activities that are issue-based, nonpartisan, and not coordinated with candidates or political parties than it could have as a foundation required to follow Section 501©(3)," a more traditional nonprofit structure. A request for comment to CPAF went unreturned.

University of Illinois at Chicago professor Dick Simpson says it's "unusual" to see out-of-state donors get involved in local races like this, though he noted that a little over half of the campaign contributions Mayor Rahm Emanuel raised between 2010 and 2015 were also from outside of Chicago.

Simpson says it's "obvious" that the donors' intentions are to oust Alvarez, who has been vilified by progressive media outlets in the for her handling of the high-profile Laquan McDonald police shooting case. He also noted that the Super PAC's current endowment of $600,000 is enough to have "serious effects on the race."

Outside of the Illinois State Board of Election's ruling that Foxx's use of a Preckwinkle-funded poll broke state rules and fined the campaign almost $20,000, the topic of funding has been largely overlooked during the campaign, though there are clearly lots of other issues to look at. In the most recent Tribune poll, Alvarez was beating Foxx by seven points.

This needs to be pulled out and noted:

The sole donors to the PAC are neoliberal superdonor and conservative-boogeyman George Soros
