Sure funny how it has turned out that the whole time Clarence Thomas was dependent on some one giving him a check though.
FIFY.
Ginni isnât a Supreme Court Justice. We all know who the checks are really for.
Ginni and Clarence subscribe to traditional patriarchal values, which means the buck stops with him. And Iâm not fond of letting irresponsible men pretend women corrupted them.
I hope the modicum of comfort I still get in how bad AI-generated images can be lasts for a good long while.
not only that, he avoided taking care of his aunt; leaving that to his sister. his sister buffered him from the reality of american healthcare, and made it possible therefore to complete law school
and then he throws her under a bus to rise even higher. lovely
I always watch the Brooks and Capehart segment on PBS news on Fridays⌠Brooks hangs out with Crow, and sort of downplayed the seriousness of this (without sound like he was doing so)⌠Iâm truly shockedâŚ
Threads inside of threadsâŚ
One sign of a failed state is that networks of favors and obligations among friends begin to subsume the formal institutional pathways of power in government. As much as Americans like to complain about bureaucracies, they operate by a set of published rules, and compliance with those rules is supposed to be transparent to the public. Disclosure promotes public confidence. The consent of the governed is obtained through trust that the system is fair and subject to meaningful oversight.
But when elitesâboth corporate and politicalâconduct their affairs through âfriendlyâ exchanges of favors and gifts, the result is corruption that can render democracy nonfunctional. Think Boss Tweed and Tammany Hall in mid-19th-century New York, or the Daley Machine in mid-20th-century Chicago. Scaled up to the federal level, this kind of cronyism is extremely dangerous for a system based in the shared public faith that justice is available, impartially, to all.
Another useless sternly worded letter from Democrats.
Iâm looking forward to him getting a letter from the IRS.
Yep. Someone owes a gift tax. At the very least.
Huh, fancy that. Thomas was there at the swearing in.
if thomas does ever leave the supreme court, i wonder how shocked heâll be at all the âfriendsâ that no longer return his phone calls
