Clarence Thomas admits billionaire paid for private club membership and luxury Bali trips
A Texas billionaire, known to have cozy relationships with high-profile conservatives, footed the bill for two 2019 trips to Bali and membership to a private California club for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, according to a report published Friday.The trips were disclosed for the first time ...
Also Clarence Thomas: "Ha ha, fuck all of you, I'm admitting it because there's fuck all you can do about it."
The American mullahs can do whatever they like.
He learned from the Trump felony conviction apparently. Trumps conviction was on the coverup, not the payments.
Thomas is getting out in front of this by removing the "cover up" part.
He must be feeling the heat if he voluntarily disclosed this backdated graft.
Doubtful. He has done nothing to show any remorse for what he is doing to us all.
This was a standard disclosure. Feeling 'the heat' has nothing to do with it. Jackson got 1.2k in flowers from Opera. Appointed officials shouldn't be able to accept any form of donations above a very minor amount like $20.
The report Friday comes after a separate report this week found Supreme Court Justices have received about $4.7 million in gifts over the past two decades — more than $4 million of which was pocketed by Thomas alone, newly revealed data showed.
Jesus Christ, Thomas.
And that’s just what was disclosed. Remember him and Alito were claiming stuff was “personal hospitality” and didn’t need reported.
The word is "bribes."
John Oliver did a great piece on the compromised ethics of SCOTUS with special attention to Thomas.
It was somehow always obvious, that he's the one getting the biggest piece of cake.
With every breath he takes, he exhales that "i am king, i am god" flair.
Uncle Tom's
cabinyaught trip to Bali.
And once again, there will be no penalty.
There absolutely should be a penalty, fucking ridiculous that we have a system that defers serious legal shit to 7 individuals who aren't even elected. 3 of which were appointed by an orange reality TV star.
This is America. If we punished bald-faced corruption, what else might we have to punish? Insider trading? Police violence? Violations of people's civil and human rights? It's a slippery slope, friend!
You can bet your ass there would be huge penalties if this guy was a Democrat.
If he were a Democrat his own party would be falling all over themselves to denounce him; but because he's a Republican it's just par for the course.
He knows nobody will touch him so he brags now

When the Supreme Court loses all legitimacy, like it has, things get shittier much, much quicker.
Bali is so hot, is he just warming up for the afterlife? I promise you will be in pornos there, Thomas, but not the kind you think.
Abort the court
The picture is so fitting for this situation.
About 2 months ago I saw a news clip where he announced his resignation. There was a voice recording of him, he didn't say the word "resign" but implied it
Did I jump timelines?
I believe he talked about resigning in 2000 to some republican at a conference. Caught my eye when I read that and was sad to see the date.
The populace should be angry. Everyone should riot. This blatant corruption and should be on every news station non stop
