I sure did not have "Harlan Crow paid for a yacht and private helicopter trip for Clarence Thomas to visit a palace in Vladimir Putin's hometown" on my bingo card, but in hindsight, why the hell not. www.thedailybeast.com/clarence-tho...
Clarence Thomas Gifted Luxe Trip to Putin’s Hometown: Demswww.thedailybeast.com The allegedly secret gifts were disclosed in a letter from two Democratic senators that accused Thomas of potentially committing tax fraud.

If only he stuck to his hobby and didn’t also collect SC justices.

Abe Fortas resigned from SCOTUS because a secret $15k retainer he got for legal advice from the 60's equivalent of a Wall Street Bro. In 2024 money, that is STILL LESS money than what Clarence has accumulated in "gifts" for 20yrs...THAT WE KNOW OF, and he is still a Supreme Court Justice!
Thomas is pure corruption as far as I can tell, but it’s also interesting framing in the article to call St. Petersburg, one of Russia’s greatest tourist attractions, “Putin’s hometown.” There’s enough meat on that bone without insinuations.

Tourist Trap. Citizen hell hole. Critic death bed.

Personal Hospitality he says. Sounds like a gift to me. No wonder Thomas’s legal opinions are so off base. He willfully breaks rules and regs that are very clearly defined and then tries to defend it with pure BS.

So in addition to being corrupt as fuck, he's also a russian asset and a national security compromise.

Not a Pelosi fan but she was right in saying “all roads lead to Putin”

Putin’s “hometown” is St Petersburg right?

I just want to go back to the 80s and tell some people that the party of Reagan is in bed with a Russian autocrat and see their heads explode.

As Harlan Crow would say, "That's a bingo!"

I love this ugly snarl on his face. It tells me the self-hate inside is alive.

So glad he managed to complete his pilgrimage to his boss's home. That'll certainly be worth a few brownie points when the new administration takes over control, as long as the election interference goes well for them.

Look, if my bingo card had more than 25 squares, it probably would have, but there's only so much room for wild shit.

They had to settle for Putin's place because you can't get to Obersalzburg on a yacht.

Probably just opposition research. 🙄

Just imagine. If I just gave my employer the gift of my labor 40 hours a week and they slid me a nice little envelope with a bow on it saying, "thanks for being a friend" then I don't have to report any income or pay taxes ever again!

Seems fine if we are accepting the other stuff

Yeesh, tell us you’re not a serious bingo player without telling us you’re not a serious bingo player

...see this is some serious dark sit com bullshit. Is Eric Kripke scripting reality now?

No doubt taking cues from Putin’s Fascist judiciary. The Right Wing of the supreme court already has Carl Schmitt’s influence down pat.

All things being equal, I don't think Thomas should be making any long-term retirement plans.

I though Harlan was Jim Crow’s grandson 🤷‍♂️

Did he go through customs, or just sail on by and not have any record of his 'visit'?

After Bill Barrs trip to Italy as AG of the USA, to pressure, harrass or blackmail them because of Trump Russia.. You should have everything on your bingo cards. And I mean really everything.. There is now low too deep, to achieve their rotten goals. And, Americans forget like a mayfly thankfully

A perfect crystalline reflection of the vile and cynical Republican administration that nominated him.

Well, he had to go to Putin's palace to pick up the rubles he was promised for fucking America....

So we're going to ban Kaspersky for being a "threat to national security" because they MIGHT be giving American data to Russia (keyword is might).... but this..?
