So, the story of how a conservative US Supreme Court Judge is / has been corrupted over the past decade is off of the front pages already. Can you imagine if Soros was found to be “giving free lux vacations” to a liberal judge? There would be panic in the right ring press for years and pitchfork demands for investigations, hearings and anything else to beat the colossal drums of hate, discord and discontent.
And the supposed “liberal media” like the WaPo and NYT, as well as the “mainstream media” would play right along, running all sorts of analysis pieces on every angle of it.
The Wapo should change their header to “Democracy Dies in Laziness and Willful Disregard.”
Has anyone shook Merrick Garland and told him that nappy time was over like, a long fucking time ago?
Joe should can him.
Holy fucking self-dealing, Batman!
Clarence Thomas must have a shitty lawyer.
Well, he is one, so that tracks.
He probably represents himself.
but is it really a property sale when it’s between friends? /s
well, how about if it’s somebody who befriend you after you got your prestigious and powerful position?
… asking for a friend an oligarch.
More importantly, is it really a property sale when your mom still lives there?
From Slate: Clarence Thomas’ Mom Definitely Still Lives in the House the Billionaire Bought
We were there just a couple of weeks ago

Think of it as Clarence having reverse mortgaged his soul.
(Do they do reverse mortgages in other countries? It’s basically where a retiree takes out a loan on the equity in their house, with the deal that they live on that money and the bank takes back what is owed from their estate when they die.)
Ooh… It’s current owner, Satan, is not going to be happy when he comes to collect!
Nah, it just means that Crow has possession during Thomas’ lifetime, and Satan takes what’s left from the estate after death.
Depends on whether a fiddle contest waiver was signed or not.
Damn, what did Ginni get in their vows? Aside from money and undue influence…
ETA Looking forward to seeing them both go through the “for poorer” part!
