Every second on the yacht I wished I were in a Walmart parking lot.
“I don’t have any problem with going to Europe, but I prefer the United States, and I prefer seeing the regular parts of the United States. … I prefer the RV parks. I prefer the Walmart parking lots to the beaches and things like that. There’s something normal to me about it.” — Justice Clarence Thomas, speaking in a documentary about his life , quoted in a ProPublica report released Thursday that Thomas has accepted undisclosed luxury trips from a prominent Republican donor, including travel by yacht and private jet, for more than two decades.
Short of impeachment there’s no way to remove the most corrupt justice on the bench. There is no set code of conduct and no mechanism to investigate alleged ethics violations for Supreme Court Justices. There are a couple of bills in Congress to establish these things, but obviously every republican will vote against them.
I await some words from The Chief Justice… and wait and wait. I can’t imagine that Chief Justice Roberts will want an asterisk tagged onto “The Roberts Court” because it’s remembered mostly for corruption. Thomas can be impeached but the whackadoodle House wouldn’t be any help at all.
Harlan Crow has bought and paid for Justice Thomas many times over – the fact that right-wing conservatives have bought and paid for at least ONE supreme court justice is no longer open to question – it’s a rock-solid FACT…
What is so different from him and any other judge or politician? They are all in it for the money for no work. How many, any times have you heard a lawyer ask a client " how much justice can you afford?"
Another hero of the 70 million, let’s see, here’s the updated list: Clarence Thomas, Scott Adams, trumpster fire, Mark Meadows, Don Junior, George Santos, Herschel Walker, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Mike Lindell, Michael Flynn, Ted Cruz, the January 6th Insurgents, Nick Fuentes, Matt Gaetz, Kari Lake, the rest of the Oath Keepers, Alex Jones, The Proud Boys, Ye (at his worst), Scott Perry, Ron De Santis, Jim Jordan,
from Uncle Thomas’ 2020 documentary; created equal, Clarence Thomass – in his own words; and I quote “I prefer the US, l prefer going across rural America, I prefer the RV parks, I prefer the Wal Mart parking lots, I come from regulars stock and I prefer being around them”
love it that someone told him he didn’t have to report these 1/2 million dollar gifts/bribes. he is so braindead he doesn’t even know the rules of his own job

It’s just mind-boggling that in the 21st century, an African-American man is fine with being the property of a rich white guy.
