Clarence Thomas and the Billionaire.

[struth]

No...You're a moron.

Seriously...


Clinically, even.

still no evidence....thanks

accusing African-American men, with no evidence has been the MO of the demaklan for centuries.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

How do you know he didn't pay any fare?

I did not make a claim either way.

I am asking you for evidence to support it never happened.

Such a thing is not logically possible. If it never happened there would be no evidence of it not happening.

How can you not understand this?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Meh. If it can be proven that the vacation influenced his decisions on the court, let him face the consequences. If not, it's just another tempest in a tea pot.

So your stance is a SCOTUS justice should be allowed to ignore laws they do not like?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

How can you prove you didn't die from a heart attack last month?

I cannot. For all you know this is a different person than last month and there is no way for me to prove otherwise.

 

[Orangecat]

Go ahead and quote me saying that, imbecile. I don't answer to straw men.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Go ahead and quote me saying that, imbecile. I don't answer to straw men.

So, then you agree he should follow the law and report these things?

 

[Orangecat]

I cannot. For all you know this is a different person than last month and there is no way for me to prove otherwise.

The low IQ tells me it's still you.

I have to think this will get interesting. Thomas has taken a ton of trips paid for by a billionaire campaign donor.

On the surface this appears to be in violations of federal law when he reported none of them.


IN LATE JUNE 2019, right after the U.S. Supreme Court released its final opinion of the term, 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. Fortunately for him, that wasn’t necessary: He was on vacation with real estate magnate and Republican megadonor Harlan Crow, who owned the jet — and the yacht, too.....................................

.....................These trips appeared nowhere on Thomas’ financial disclosures. His failure to report the flights appears to violate a law passed after Watergate that requires justices, judges, members of Congress and federal officials to disclose most gifts, two ethics law experts said. He also should have disclosed his trips on the yacht, these experts said.

Clarence Thomas Secretly Accepted Luxury Trips From Major GOP Donor

A bought and paid for Supreme Court judge. That's the very definition of a banana republic.

If this is true, it's bad, and the GQP won't care.

There are no standards any more. No rules. A creeping anarchy. By design. We're in real trouble.

 

[Orangecat]

Get lost, kitty.

This is an impeachable offense. Seriously.

I can understand how your low IQ would tell you that.

Thanks for letting us know.

How can you not understand this?

So you weren't claiming the OP was true when you said this?

Nobody on the right will care, they will just try and change the subject to the left leaning judges.

Tis the way of our country now.

How is it not true to prove the accusations being made in the OP? Then why make the accusation if you can't prove it?

 

[g5000]

"There are few restrictions on what gifts justices can accept."

From the article. Sounds like a problem with laws and not Justice Clarence himself. There should be laws against this sort of thing, but this has more to do with the continuing saga of Black people shall have no other thoughts than what the Democratic party demands of minorities.

No, the problem is with Thomas. He is supposed to report the gifts and he hasn't.

That's an impeachable offense.

"These trips appeared nowhere on Thomas’ financial disclosures."

This is a clear cut case.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

So you weren't claiming the OP was true when you said this?

Nope, I was claiming nobody would care. You are living proof I was correct.

Thanks.

 

[g5000]

Did you miss the part where I stated there should be laws against it ?

There already are laws against it.

It is time to impeach Justice Thomas.

 

[struth]

Nope, I was claiming nobody would care. You are living proof I was correct.

Thanks.

I certainly care that these radical leftist propagandist make accusations like this....look at the dembots that actually believe it without any evidence to support it.

It's damaging to our republic that we have such a cult

 

[struth]

Provide the code section that makes it illegal for a Judge to go on vacation with a friend

 

[g5000]

He points out the laws & the fact the "liberals" expect blacks to behave themselves as told.

You are both idiots. This has nothing to do with blacks, and there are already laws against what Justice Thomas has done.

The trips were not listed either as a gift or as paid for by Thomas himself. One way or another they would be on the disclosure form to avoid this very sort of thing.

But you do not care because Thomas is on of your tribe leaders so you have to defend him to your last breath.

 

[g5000]

You delusional lefties see & read what you want & facts no longer matter.
You are such a bunch of clueless rubes with circular logic bouncing off diminishing cognitive abilities
