Justice Thomas accepted millions in gifts from right wing mega donor

[woolfe9998]

In other news, $2 million worth of dimes were stolen from a trailer in a Walmart parking lot in Philadelphia. Too bad Clarence and Ginny were off in the Bahamas or wherever or they could have stopped this. I know it must pain him greatly to be away from Walmart parking lots for so long but I guess he just didn't want to be rude to Crow.

They have Thomas by the balls now.
(Sorry for the visual)

How?

If only we had a government where the House wasn't controlled by traitors and sociopaths. You couldn't have a better case for impeachment and removal, the corruption from this piece of shit is just stunning. Uncle Thomas is a low IQ grifter who shouldn't even be in charge of a dog pound, what a fucking disgrace this stain of a human being on our highest court. What Trump did to the White House this goon has done to the court.

SCOTUS is at all time lowest credibility and sinking fast. A traitor and spy putting other unqualified partisans on that bench isn't helping.

Hope you're happy Moscow Mitch.

Crow didn't know who the F Thomas was until he was on the court making decisions. Life long friend my ass.

 

[MrSquished]

His presence on the court is a mockery to the American judicial system, undermining the USA at the fundamental level of fairness and decency.

Agreed 100% Though it is already a mockery, but this is just a big fucking cherry on top that is for sure.

 

[allisolm]

^^^ This. Most codes of judicial conduct clearly state that judges must avoid not only "impropriety" but also even the appearance of impropriety!

Exactly. And, if it's true he ruled in Crow's favor in all 8 Crow related cases that came before him, even the APPEARANCE of impropriety has been strained beyond all credulity.

I like the pic of Thomas fishing. Very telling to me. He looks thrilled, fishing with a cheap kid's plastic fishing rod/reel combo. He is in dumbshit tourist I'M ONA BOAT mode. Some deck hand was like "give'em this, he won't care, he doesn't know what he's doing.'

I know people like Crow. I've been on recreational group trips with guys like him, big game shit. I know how they act amongst themselves, when they're barefoot in fishing shorts instead of in a suit at the office. Their gear, for the pursuit of fins, fowl, and four leggers, is usually top notch and often custom. Always expensive, sought after, professional grade stuff, it's also what they give people as presents. Toys that promote "show and tell" among friends and coworkers alike. That fishing pic tells me Thomas is neither of those things to Crow.

Damn. Biden may get to pick a SC justice..

Hope springs eternal.

At this point, I think even if we had a video of Thomas being handed a pile of money with audio explicitly stating he would rule one way, there wouldn't be anything done about it.

We're broken.

I’m reminded of this quote from Pirates of The Caribbean:

Jack Sparrow : The only rules that really matter are these: what a man can do and what a man can't do.

Thomas can accept bribes and we can’t impeach him.

So negative reinforcement will have to come from somewhere else. Maybe stacking the court.

 

[Lanyap]

How?

Read this previously posted link. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Harlan Crow Bought Property from Clarence Thomas. The Justice Didn’t Disclose the Deal.

The transaction is the first known instance of money flowing from Crow to the Supreme Court justice. The sale netted the GOP megadonor two vacant lots and the house where Thomas’ mother was living.

Damn. Biden may get to pick a SC justice..

0 chance of that being a replacement of Thomas over this issue.

 

[MrSquished]

Damn. Biden may get to pick a SC justice..

What world do you live in?

 

[fskimospy]

So Thomas declared lots of other things, just not Crowe buying his mom’s house.

Short of Uncle Thomas keeling over from a massive coronary or stroke, we are stuck with the bastard. The GQP threw in with a traitor and insurrectionist, tried to kill American democracy. Ignoring the improprieties and conflicts of interest with a judge is small potatoes. I hope they keep digging and embarrassing the shit out of the guy though, even repugs are doing facepalms over Thomas now. That's the swamp, and they know it.

Can't wait until Boof Kavanaugh's turn. I still want to know who paid off his debts, gifted him expensive club memberships.

 

[Vic]

It is remarkable the level of corruption that Republicans are willing to accept for the sake of party.

 

[MrSquished]

It's great to post what shitty things the GQP is doing, because that is all they do.

What's going to be done about it? And no la la land bullshit

 

[Muse]

Clarence Thomas is "a crook," pure and simple.

This Steve Schmidt video is no holds barred, stark and a MUST WATCH:

Vote 'em out!

 

[MrSquished]

Vote 'em out!

How's that been working out with the stacked Senate and House map over-representing shithole states, gerrymandering, and Biden BARELY scraping by via the electoral college, and the SC being a kangaroo court? Can we count on this happening?

My line of thinking is that Roberts pushes him out, Clarence announces his retirement OR a shakeup in the house 2024 2026 (and Biden runs again of course).
I am thinking this is too much. Its like pulling the trigger on 5th avenue and flipping the bird to the cops when they show up. And this dude is not even Trump. Dems about to declare war on SC.

How exactly could Robert’s push him out? The only option for removal is impeachment and it’s not going to happen so long as republicans continue not care about corruption or doing the right thing. Thomas has exactly zero pressure to step down. I would enjoy seeing fraud cases brought against him though if he committed any crimes.

 

[Pens1566]

I've seen enough from valid sources to say that the land deal likely broke several laws. He should be charged accordingly.

Have the impeachment hearings anyway. Expose all the corruption to the public.

If his land sale is a violation of law, prosecute.

Can't count on anything but the vote would be the surest way of solving the issues. Overwhelming dominance of a sane voting public would fix a lot!
