    The "evidence"seems to be losing support to back the allegation. The only support Smollett has going for him are those that wanted to believe him from the start and still do.

    As for me I'll go with the evidence or lack of corroboration thereof. I definitely feel there was motive to fabricate. Some people just become so enraged by hatred that they seek irrational ways to justify that hatred.

    Jussie Smollett appears to be consumed.

    Investigate it as if it were true unless the evidence no longer supports the allegation.

    ‘Two persons of interest’ in relation to Jussie Smollett ‘attack’ in Chicago turn out to be homeless, were never near Smollett. Smollett also didn’t have a broken rib as he claimed. He also still refuses to give his phone to police, despite claiming it has evidence on it.

    Should graduate to the "Literally 'fake news' Thread" soon.

    The people who actually use ridiculous labels like "alt-right" on a regular basis almost always mean anyone and everyone who doesn't adhere 100% to the extreme left agenda. When people like Tim Pool are labeled "alt-right," it's a meaningless term.

    You do know that "alt-right," was created by those who identify as such, right?

    I don't even know or care what alt-right means anymore. But I do see a different subset of "right", more of a counter-left movement that rose from formerly "left" people. Some would call them alt-right, but that doesn't really fit. Labeling yourself as "right" is sort of hip with this crowd... I think it was born from the anti-SJW movement. They hated SJWs... then realized, "hey, what values tend to counter them? Right-leaning? Alright, I'll be that."

    Who knows if it'll stick.

    It has become that, but the leaders of the real alt right coined the term. The left/media seized on the term to weaponize it against dissenters. BTW, they mostly call Tim Pool alt-right adjacent. Or, alt-right enabler. Doesn’t matter where you are on the political spectrum. If you’re not with the bat**** crazy leftists, you’re some form of alt right.

    "Adjacent" is such a lazy thing they're doing now. Can't clearly and directly label someone you don't like? Just throw the word "adjacent" in there, boom, got 'em.

    Jamil, just being on INGO, you're Stormfront-adjacent.

    Weird. I had always thought the usage 'alt-right' had arisen out of and was a corruption of the old alt.*heirarchy Usenet formulations. A lot of the positions attributed to it seem the sort of things that would avoid the light like certain newsgroups

    I can certainly understand why 'future coders' in the MSM would seek to broaden it into a damning label for all deplorables in an attempt to tie them to or allude to ideologies considered beyond the pale, and we know 'future coders' probably aren't old enough or knowledgeable enough to even remember/comprehend Usenet newsgroups

    Alt-right is short for alternative right. It's part of a movement which believes conservatism has failed the right, and so it's time to ditch that and move on to a collectivist sort of nationalism/racism.
