Clarence Thomas and the Billionaire.

[struth]

It reports on the FACTS of his activities.

It doesn't report anything...he took a vacation...ok....then makes accusations...it has nothing to support the alleged cost of $500K, and doesn't have any support of the claim he didn't pay, that it was a gift.

None....did you actually read it?

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

So whenever I have people over to my house for the weekend it's a "gift" ?

No one really thinks that.

The dishonest right, blindly defend the indefensible

 

[g5000]

What case would it influence since no one really knows what cases SCOTUS will hear ?

Did his friend actually benefit from any SCOTUS rulings made by Thomas? Were there even any cases heard in the last 20 years that this rich guy had a vested interest in?

Read. The. Article.

There were a lot of high powered people on these Thomas trips.

Regardless, the law is very clearcut about what Thomas should have disclosed, and he didn't. End of story, dipshit.

 

[g5000]

The dishonest right, blindly defend the indefensible

Their deliberate obtuseness is pathetic.

 

[Orangecat]

Can you point to a post from me that lead you to that conclusion?

You first, hypocrite:

 

[struth]

They have to list....

Income
Reimbursements
Gifts
Liabilities
Investments and Trust
Assets
Transactions.

That would have to show where the money for the trips came from if they paid for them.

hahah nope...nowhere does it require them to list "transactions" _ how silly is it that you would think they have to list all their transactions for the year? hahahahh

Here's an example of Chief Judge Roberts: https://fixthecourt.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Roberts-JG-J3.-SC_SR_21.pdf

 

[g5000]

The law: Report information on gifts aggregating more than $415 in value received by the filer, spouse and dependent child from any source other than a relative during the reporting period.


End. Of. Story.

On a Bombardier Global 5000 private jet, idiot?

Why don't you tards read the article before continuing to make asses of yourselves?

Expedia.

How many people were on the jet? how do you know he didn't pay a fare? There is no evidence in the article that he didn't, nor how many people were on the jet...it's mere propganda and accusations with zero evidence to support any of it

 

[playtime]

uncle thomas & his nutter wife oughta be sent up for their deceitfulness.

How Much does it Cost to Charter a Luxury Yacht? - WI Yachts

The true cost of a luxury yacht charter isn't always easy to determine. No more doublespeak, we tell you exactly what are the costs involved.

www.windward-islands.net

Average cost for the yacht would be 650,000 a week. 9 days comes out to 835,000.

Seems the 500 grand was a low estimate.

hahaha you have no idea how many people were on the boat, if the boat was even a lease....judges don't have to report catching a ride on a friend's boat and more then they have to report catching a ride in their car.

as far as the plane, I have yet to see evidence that others weren't on the plane, or that he didn't pay a fare. Provide proof there was no payment made.

 

[struth]

Read the article, idiot!

Justice Clarence Thomas boarded a large private jet headed to Indonesia. He and his wife were going on vacation: nine days of island-hopping in a volcanic archipelago on a superyacht staffed by a coterie of attendants and a private chef.

If Thomas had chartered the plane and the 162-foot yacht himself, the total cost of the trip could have exceeded $500,000.

where is the evidence that supports the claim that would be the cost, or that he didn't pay a fare.....please provide support

See page 48, dumbass.

See the actual form...show me where: https://fixthecourt.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Roberts-JG-J3.-SC_SR_21.pdf

and here's your page 48: Column D: Transactions Information on transactions should be entered in Column D. Transactions to be reported involve any single purchase, sale or exchange during the reporting period that exceeds $1,000. 5 U.S.C. § 13104(a)(5). For each acquisition or disposition, you should disclose: (a) the type of transaction, e.g., buy, sell, redeem, etc.; (b) the date of the transaction; (c) the value category code indicating the value of the consideration paid or received (codes J-P); (d) the capital gain realized on disposition (if any), using the appropriate income category code (codes A-H); (e) the closure of a cash account that may have been reported on a prior report. If an asset has been bought and sold during the same reporting period, provide the required information about both transactions on successive lines, leaving Columns A through C blank on the successive lines. Additional lines may be added by right clicking and following the menu prompts. In most corporate mergers and reorganizations, shareholders play a passive role and realize no taxable capital gains. Accordingly, where a non-taxable corporate reorganization results in the listing of a new asset or the omission of an asset disclosed on the previous report with no purchase or sale by the filer, the change of name should be explained with a note in Column A or in Part VIII, as appropriate. For example, if the filer listed the “ABC Company” on a previous report and it has since been merged into the “XYZ Company,” the filer should list “XYZ Co. (formerly ABC Co.)” in Column A. Only if the filer is required to report a capital gain for income tax purposes would a merger be treated as a transaction. Also, if the filer sells the shares of the new corporation after the merger, that transaction must be reported. Required minimum distributions required by the IRS on retirement funds typically involve the liquidation or selling of asset(s) held within the retirement account. As such, any transactions greater than $1,000 must be reported. Income received pursuant to an annuity contract owned by the filer (or filer’s spouse) need not be reported as a transaction in Column D. Similarly, the withdrawal of a portion of the investment component of a life insurance policy need not be reported as a transaction in Column D, but a cancellation or withdrawal of the entire balance so as to end the policy should be reported as “closed.” Income category codes, codes A - H, for reporting capital gains are listed under INCOME. They are also listed at the bottom of the report in Part VII and are displayed through drop down menus within the software. If there is a loss, or no gain or loss, Column D4 under GAIN should be left blank. Value category codes, codes J - P are listed under VALUE. They are also listed at the bottom of the report in Part VII and in drop down menus within the software.


Did you not read it? hahah how does corperate mergers and cap gains have to do with buying a plane ticket? hahahha you idiots.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

hahaha you have no idea how many people were on the boat, if the boat was even a lease....judges don't have to report catching a ride on a friend's boat and more then they have to report catching a ride in their car.

If that ride cost more than a set amount then yes they do.

Your ignorance does not change that fact.

It doesn't report anything...he took a vacation...ok....then makes accusations...it has nothing to support the alleged cost of $500K, and doesn't have any support of the claim he didn't pay, that it was a gift.

None....did you actually read it?

Yes.

But I'm possessed of an unusually high level of reading comprehension.

You're clearly a moron.

 

[g5000]

where is the evidence that supports the claim that would be the cost, or that he didn't pay a fare.....please provide support

Here is Thomas's 2019 financial disclosure from 2019 when he took the half million dollar trip: https://fixthecourt.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Thomas-C-J3.-SC_SR_19.pdf


Notice the Gifts section is completely blank and that he checked the box labeled None.

They don't have to report renting a vacation condo, buying plane tickets, or a car....just silly

This is not the first time Thomas has been caught lying on his financial disclosures.

Justice Clarence Thomas Amends 20 Years of Disclosure Forms With Wife's Employers​

​

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas amended 20 years worth of financial disclosure forms today after a liberal watchdog group questioned the omission of his wife's place of employment.

"It has come to my attention that information regarding my spouse's employment required in Part III B of my financial disclosure report was inadvertently omitted due to a misunderstanding of the filing instructions," Thomas wrote in a letter to the committee that handles the reports.


A Supreme Court Justice claims he did not understand the filing instructions? BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!

Should this guy be making life and death decisions?
