When you regularly receive so many """loans""" and lavish 6 figure vacations from """friends""", you can't be expected to remember to officially report all of them, completely understandable
Ah... the venerable old "make a 'loan' then forgive it" strategy for paying bribes.
At this point Thomas might as well have a tattoo across his forehead that says "I am corrupt."
If he had even a speck of integrity, he'd resign.
If he had a speck of integrity he'd be a completely different person.
If he had even a speck of integrity, he’d resign.
Narrator voice: He didn't.
I think the only reason these shitbags used to resign is they didn't have enough power to say "fuck you, what are you gonna do about it?" But he does, apparently.
267K seems like such an impossibly high number that I can't even comprehend ever having that much in dollars. For these asshole that's just bribe money, pissed away on an RV he likely used once. And at that price it's likely one of the nicest RV's anyone's ever seen.
He used it quite a bit. He put on this Everyman schtick where he didn't need fancy trips, he just needed to RV and camp in Walmart parking lots
The articles on it are quite hilarious to read now that we know actually he was going on lavish free trips plenty and that RV was a tremendous bribe
If it makes you feel any better, that was $267k in the late 1990s. Value in today's money is closer to half a million.
Yeah that doesn't make me feel better either.
LOL Thanks!
Really? That's less than the median home price in the US ($412k). Especially with inflation from the past few decades, that's not really that much money.
This just in: Clarence Thomas is a joke of a human being, even moreso as a justice. Nothing will be done. Happy Thursday.
Justice is not a term I would associate with that man it's so weird it's allowed to be his title. We should take it away from him already because he is disgracing the highest court. How are there no laws against that? And since there are none people will need to take action in some other way. That's asking for trouble. What the hell kind of system is this?
Wow turns out loan forgiveness is a great idea after all! For corrupt republican shitbags.
I'm sure the Republicans in the house will get right on this after they're done elevating an election denier to second-in-line to the presidency.
who left this pube hair on my can of cola?????
'on my coke'.
Long Dong Silver, that's who!
Thomas, a lowlife, in a robe.
I can't believe Biden forgave Thomas's loan. This is what happens when you elect a communist: it makes the supreme court look corrupt.
Thank God for the level heads over at the supreme court who have informed us that even though it may look, feel, smell, and taste exactly like shit, that it's actually your upper lip. Also, they're rubber and we're glue.
/s
Whomst among us has not gotten a quarter million dollar loan from a friend and never repaid it? What sort of friends would the guy be if he has Clarence pay such a small sum back? /s
I know right. What is everyone actually complaining about?
Unethical
The SC is openly and hopelessly corrupt. Throw the whole fucking thing away and start over.
Straight up corruption. Can we stop calling it "alleged" or just a minor "ethics issue" yet?
Justice Thomas will be issuing a public statement of commitment to ethical standards. The DOJ will be closely monitoring his actions for the remainder of his tenure in TSC.
So your saying he was just outright bribed. Nice.
