SCOTUS Shenanigans Watch

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.

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.)

Nah, it just means that Crow has possession during Thomas’ lifetime, and Satan takes what’s left from the estate after death.
