    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.

        Would it matter? He’s the “shoot a guy on fifth avenue” person. Who’s going to be able to prosecute a SCOTUS justice who can appeal to SCOTUS and not recuse himself?

          Really dont need to prosecute first, gotta get him off the bench as step one. Dems could try to impeach, but as we see nothing gets done in the Senate either. Well shit…

          Maybe one of those fine 2nd ammendment people…

            There’s that boxes of liberty saying. Soap box, ballot box, jury box, ammo box. Use in that order. It’s one of those sayings that’s popular among diverse people I think.

    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.

      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!

        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.

    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.

    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
